We continue the fall series with a focus on sustainability efforts taking place at the Waterfront Botanical Gardens! Located at 1435 Frankfort Avenue, on the site of a former city landfill, Waterfront Botanical Gardens was started by Botanica, an umbrella organization for the local gardening community started in 1993 to help enlighten, entertain, and educate the community about the botanical world. In 2001, Botanica learned that it was the beneficiary of a trust established by member Helen Harrigan, a local gardener with a desire to see a botanical garden and conservatory built in Louisville. Helen’s gift reshaped the focus of this organization, and they set about to create what has become Louisville’s Waterfront Botanical Gardens. The organization's vision is "Planting seeds and growing minds for more sustainable cities." The mission is "To cultivate urban botanical gardens that educate, inspire, and enhance appreciation of the relationship between plant life and a healthy environment." The Sustainability Council’s EcoReps program is designed to move students, faculty & staff beyond talk to action for a more sustainable UofL! We provide basic training & resources, service opportunities, and leadership positions as a point-person & peer-to-peer advocate for sustainability. More info on EcoReps website. Facebook Event.

Oct. 14, 2024	Global Humanities Lecture with C. Riley Snorton (UChicago): Swamp Tales, Trans Ghosts, and Nonbinary Magical Realism Monday, Oct. 14th, 4pm, Ekstrom Library, Chao Auditorium, Add to your Calendar Narratives about swamp people and swamp things punctuate the story of the New World, from the maroon communities constituted by Native peoples and formerly enslaved Africans dating back at least to the early sixteenth century to the first Asian settlement in the US, located in swamps surrounding present day New Orleans in the eighteenth century. As a nonbinary space that is neither land nor water but both, the swamp serves as the material grounds—as the “terra infirma”—for a series of considerations about transformation and difference. Drawn from Professor C. Riley Snorton's new work, Mud: Ecologies of Racial Meaning, this lecture weaves together the insights of Black ecologies and trans studies through a nonbinary analytic to raise questions about the coloniality of climate (change) and being. In this talk, Professor Snorton will juxtapose three swamp narratives—the Wild Man of the Green Swamp, the Honey Island Swamp monster, and the Amazonian plant-spirits to discuss how swamps confound common sense notions of difference, especially in terms of racial and gender categorization. Ending with a meditation on the Brazilian film, Uyra: The Rising Forest, this talk also highlights how Black and Indigenous queer, trans and nonbinary artists and activists are redefining the terms of their difference. C. Riley Snorton is the Mary R. Morton Professor in the departments of Race, Diaspora and Indigeneity and English at the University of Chicago. He is currently a Visiting Professor at the Institute for the Study of Sexuality and Gender and in the department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. He is the author of Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity (2017) and Nobody is Supposed to Know: Black Sexuality on the Down Low (2014). This Global Humanities Lecture is presented in partnership with: Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research, Department of Comparative Humanities, Department of English, Hite Institute of Art & Design, LGBT Center, Department of Pan-African Studies, and the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies.
