The Material+Visual Worlds Transdisciplinary Area of Excellence (M+VW TAE) welcomes Stephanie O'Rourke from the University of St Andrews, Scotland. O'Rourke will give a public lecture at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, in AA 340 titled, "Imperial Forestry and the French Landscape Tradition" that explores how the French landscape tradition was shaped by a new science of forest management in territorial France and colonial Algeria.

Additionally, at noon on Friday, Oct. 30, O'Rourke will participate in a lunchtime workshop in FA 218 with light lunch served. The group will be discussing a draft essay by O'Rourke that is part of a collection that examines nature and landscape in Schubert’s Vienna. In it, the author is experimenting with something that is new to her work: incorporating analysis of miners’ songs within an art historical argument about landscape. She is interested in hearing thoughts about how technical diagrams and decorative objects can be brought to bear on ‘landscape’ as a category and as a genre.
