A talk by creative-nonfiction writer Elizabeth Rush, author of Rising: Dispatches From the New American Shore. Called "moving and urgent" by Pacific Standard, the book details communities' responses to rising sea levels. A book signing and reception in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition Anthropocenic: Art About the Natural World in the Human Era follow Rush's lecture in the Bates Museum of Art. The annual Otis Lecture is funded by the Philip J. Otis '95 Endowment, which helps support Bates programs with an environmental focus. Free but tickets required: bit.ly/Otis1027. FMI hfear@bates.edu.
