Class description

This seminar focuses on natural history, the practice of focused attention to the non-human world. Each week, speakers discuss the natural history of a place, a system, a taxon, relating to us the rewards of their long-standing interrogations.

"To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall" - Huxley 1854
