Clark Art Hosts Book Talk With Design Author 08:00AM / Friday, October 13, 2023 | |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Wednesday, Oct. 18 at 6 pm, the Clark Art Institute hosts a book talk and conversation by Williams College Environmental Studies Professor Laura J. Martin.
Martin is the author of "Wild by Design: The Rise of Ecological Restoration" (Harvard University Press, 2022), which examines how, in this age of biodiversity crisis, many wild species will not survive without acts of human care. The event takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
Martin speaks to what can be learned from the past century of ecological restoration; discusses what it means to be wild; and offers a call for ecological restoration that is socially just. Martin will be in conversation with Sara Houghteling, special projects coordinator for the Clark's Research and Academic Program.
Free; no registration required. Copies of "Wild by Design" will be available for purchase at the talk and in the Museum Store. A book signing follows the event.
