Daniel F. Harrison: Michigan’s Venice book talk
This event is in the past.
This event will celebrate Dr. Daniel Harrison's new book Michigan’s Venice: The Transformation of the St. Clair Maritime Landscape, 1640-2000 (Wayne State University Press, 2024). Join us as he discusses the applicability of his theory and methodology to landscape anthropology in general, not only maritime topics. Through "evidence-based storytelling," Dr. Harrison will discuss how the St. Clair River and its environs are a microcosm of the interplay of environment, culture, and technology that characterized the gradual shift from nature to an industrial society and a built environment optimized for global waterborne transport.
This is a hybrid event being held both in-person and via Zoom (registration is required).
