Join us for an engaging presentation by Prof. Petra Tjitske Kalshoven, Associate Professor of Social Anthropology at The University of Manchester, on November 23rd, from 12:30 to 2:00 pm, in Peterson Hall, Room 108 (3460 rue McTavish, McGill University).

What might the future hold for two ‘nuclearized’ areas in Britain: one around the Sellafield facilities (in Cumbria, England), the other around Nuclear Restoration Services Dounreay (in Caithness, Scotland)? Findings from ethnographic engagement with local imaginings of post-nuclear lives and livelihoods in these remote places point to the changing role, and appearance, of iconic landscapes: Cumbria’s Lake District National Park, and the extensive peatlands of Caithness’s Flow Country, recently awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.

Coffee will be provided! We look forward to seeing you there.
