History of Punctuation Poster Exhibition Celebrating National Punctuation Day

Exhibition

September 24 is National Punctuation Day. While punctuation may be viewed as a set of rigid grammar rules, the history of these symbols is fascinating, which was discovered by the students enrolled in Professor Joyce Kinkead’s History of Writing classes. Each student adopted a punctuation mark and then researched its origins. These histories are depicted graphically in colorful posters designed by Molly Etchberger, a graduate of Art and Design. The posters are on display in the Merrill-Cazier Library on the lower floor near Special Collections, September 11-October 9. A public reception with refreshments will be hosted by the Department of English on site on Friday, September 22 at noon.

LAEP Speaker Series: Kirsten Vinyeta

Lecture/Readings

Designing for Multispecies Justice About The Lecture: Multispecies justice is an emerging framework that recognizes the relationship between human and more-than-human oppression and seeks solutions that simultaneously achieve social and ecological justice. As shapers of the environment, landscape architects have the opportunity to consider how design and planning decisions promote or inhibit multispecies justice. Kirsten will combine her experiences as a former landscape architect with her current interest in multispecies justice to discuss ways in which this framework can deepen the work of landscape architects.
