Critical Speaker Series: Jean-Thomas Tremblay Graduate Student Seminar

Graduate students are invited to join us on February 23 at 10 AM in Greenlaw Hall’s room 225 for a seminar led by Dr. Jean-Thomas Tremblay! Dr. Tremblay is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities at York University. They research environmental and sexuality studies, as well as modern and contemporary literary, screen, and performance cultures. Their most recent book, Breathing Aesthetics, studies the way that difficult breathing can serve as both the embodied experience of and a critical lens into life under extractive capitalism and environmental racism, with readings of minoritarian works of experimental film, endurance performance, ecopoetics, and cinema-vérité. Their seminar will build on themes from their lecture on February 23. This seminar experience offers graduate students unique opportunities to connect in a small group setting with Dr. Tremblay.
