Subject: [Cas-allemps] Save the date! April 21 CAS Interdisciplinary Research Talk

Dear colleagues,

I invite you to the second of three CAS Interdisciplinary Research Talks being presented spring term. Much of our teaching and research in the liberal arts is multidisciplinary and collaborative. The talks are meant to encourage conversation, interest, and understanding across divisional lines in the college. To further emphasize the interdisciplinary aspect of these talks, we are very excited to have presenters from different disciplines for this year's series of talks.

Remembering the Surreal Seas of William Beebe and Else Bostelmann: Science and Aesthetics in the Abyss
Stacy Alaimo, Professor, English and Environmental Studies
Svetlana Maslakova, Associate Professor, Biology and Oregon Institute of Marine Biology

Thursday, April 21, 3:30-5:00
Location: Zoom link<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/uoregon.zoom.us/j/99411010822?from=addon__;!!C5qS4YX3!SE02MNZP3ZWLAHNyXgf5CNYfXySB_NVyskDXRbKtLQ1orKMA-4wP1JL0b69G8FcO$>

The CAS IR Talks are approximately 45 minutes followed by a question-and-answer session.

Stacy Alaimo is Professor of English and Core Faculty Member in Environmental Studies at the University of Oregon. She is the author of Undomesticated Ground: Recasting Nature as Feminist Space (2000); Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material Self (2010) which won the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment book award for Ecocriticism; and Exposed: Environmental Politics and Pleasures in Posthuman Times (2016). Alaimo is currently writing a book entitled Deep Blue Ecologies: Science, Aesthetics, and the Creatures of the Abyss and co-editing a book series at Duke UP called "Elements."

Svetlana Maslakova is an Associate Professor at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology and the Biology Department at the University of Oregon. Her area of expertise is the biology of ribbon worms (phylum Nemertea) - from evolution of embryonic and larval development to describing new species. Her work documenting marine biodiversity takes her to many parts of the world, and two marine invertebrate species are named after her. She is an author of over 40 scientific publications, including 4 book chapters, and co-presenter of "Blow up: Artistic Microscopy" (Coos Art Museum, 2009).

Abstract: Within current conceptualizations of the Anthropocene, when even the bottom of the sea bears the marks of human incursions, what does it mean to remember the half-mile ocean descents of William Beebe in the 1930s? Beebe's encounters with abyssal creatures seem to have solidified his rejection of the separation of science from the aesthetic, as he describes himself being captivated by the very "specimens" he would capture. Meanwhile, artist Else Bostelmann's surreal stylizations of the deep sea life from these descents suggest weird abyssal worlds, creaturely perspectives, and the ungrounding of anthropocentric knowledge.

I hope you can join us for this unique and intriguing talk. Please see the list below of all 2021-2022 CAS Interdisciplinary Research Talks. Visit the webpage<https://cas.uoregon.edu/cas-interdisciplinary-research-talks> for details as well as video recordings of previous talks.
