4 November 2024, 1-2pm, Arts Seminar Room 5
Professor Mary Orr (University of St Andrews)
Where is The Gambia? Why does it matter? How has it been accounted for in histories of geography and science? And how through the double pen of Sarah Bowdich in 1824 can it inform current research in environmental and ‘blue’ humanities of the intercultural importance of key waterscapes?
This event is part of the Poetics of Landscapes series of seminars exploring how landscapes are written and write themselves.
