Critical Speaker Series Jean-Thomas Tremblay Lecture: “Infrastructures of Sabotage”

The Critical Speaker Series is thrilled to welcome Jean-Thomas Tremblay of York University! 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 lecture on February 22 will focus on Benedikt Erlingsson’s Woman at War, among other texts.
