Islands of Desire ~ Islands of Fear
Tuesday, May 1 4 pm
Searles Hall, Room 315
John R. Gillis, Professor Emeritus of History, Rutgers University, author of Islands of the Mind: How the Human Imagination Created the Atlantic World
For centuries islands have been imagined as both paradise and hell. As objects of desire and landscapes of dread, they have been important agents in history. Today, islands of desire are vital to the tourist industry, while prison islands function in a global landscape of intimidation. John Gillis will explore the changing meaning of islands from the fifteenth century to the present.
This lecture is free and open to the public.
