“Utopias of Research—Outline and Update”

In this Work-in-Progress talk Miller offers a status update on Utopias of Research following the course launch this past Fall. He will offer a brief overview of the exhibition’s argument and its proposed physical disposition. A central component of the presentation will be a discussion of some of its key questions: what is the difference between knowing and researching? what is the value of talking in terms of “utopias”? what, if any, are the specific forms of research associated with the specific places emphasized in the exhibition? The big question, of course, is how to materialize an idea.

Tuesday, February 9, 12:15 pm

This event is open to the BGC community and invited guests of the speaker. This event will be held via Zoom. A link will be circulated to registrants by 10 am on the day of the event.
