USC Libraries Discovery Fellows Event

Speaker: Margaret Wertheim, USC Libraries Inaugual Discovery Fellow

Talk Title: The Marine Sublime

Abstract: Art and science come together in the library as Margaret Wertheim curates The Marine Sublime, her first event as the USC Libraries' inaugural Discovery Fellow.

The event starts at 4:00 p.m. in Doheny Memorial Library's Friends of the USC Libraries Lecture Hall. Wertheim, a science writer, curator, and director of the Institute For Figuring, will moderate a discussion about the intersections of art, science, nature, and culture with filmmaker David Lebrun and independent curator Marina McDougall.

An adjunct professor at the California College of the Arts, McDougall co-edited "Science is Fiction: The Films of Jean Painlevé" and organized the first retrospective of the French director’s pioneering underwater films in the United States.

The program will include a viewing of rare editions of Ernst Haeckel’s writings and illustrations from the libraries’ special collections and an introduction by a USC marine biologist. A reception with refreshments will immediately follow the event. RSVP by calling (213) 740-1744

Faculty members are encouraged to invite their students to this unique multidisciplinary event.
