The oceans cover more than 70% of the earth’s surface, and their depths are home to 94% of all living species. How have scholars, writers, and artists tried to comprehend the vastness of oceans? What do they tell us about human and animal relationships across national and continental borders? What do oceans reveal about human encounters with our environmental world? What do oceans tell us about our past, present, and future? Join UCI Libraries for the launch event of this year-long exploration by UCI Humanities Center of these questions and more. This event includes an introduction from University Librarian Lorelei Tanji, followed by a panel discussion led by Dean of the School of Humanities Tyrus Miller. Explore a UCI Libraries’ virtual display on Oceans including readings, films and websites to start your exploration. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. This event is co-sponsored by UCI Humanities Center, and the School of Humanities.
