The Cultural Studies Graduate Program and the Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies Graduate Program are delighted to announce that Dr. Natalie Loveless, this year’s Dunning Trust lecturer, will be spending several days at Queen’s. Dr. Loveless is Associate Professor, Contemporary Art and Theory, in the Department of Art and Design at the University of Alberta, where she is also Associate Dean EDI in the Faculty of Arts. She has published two important books on Research-Creation: the monograph How to Make Art at the End of the World: A Manifesto for Research-creation (Duke 2019) and an edited collection, Knowings and Knots: Methodologies and Ecologies in Research-creation (U Alberta 2019). She is Director of the U Alberta Research-creation and Socia Justice “CoLABoratory.”

Dr. Natalie Loveless and Dr. Mél Hogan will discuss how they have used research- creation to engage environmental catastrophes, and the institutional affordances and limitations of such work. They will reflect on their respective academic trajectories, the labs each created, and the communities that make them stay in academia.

All are welcome.
