Sheldon Museum of Art will host a discussion of climate change and climate anxiety with Nebraska State Climatologist Martha Durr; Simanti Banerjee, associate professor of agricultural economics; and photographer Marion Belanger at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 14.
Admission is free to the museum and this event.
Belanger has two images in the Sheldon exhibition, “From Here to the Horizon: Photographs in Honor of Barry Lopez.” With the support of a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, she photographed the contested landscape of the Everglades, focusing on both protected national park wetlands and historic swamplands that have been drained and replaced by housing developments, sugar cane fields, and water control structures.
Durr is director of the Nebraska State Climate Office and a professor in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
Banerjee is an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, specializing in behavioral, environmental, natural resource economics.
Dana Fritz, Hixson-Lied Professor of Art, will moderate the conversation.
