Title: Weathered Remains:  The 1928 Lake Okeechobee Hurricane and Skeletal Remains

Speaker: Dr. Meredith A. B. Ellis, Chair of Anthropology

In this lecture, Dr. Ellis will tell the story of the 1928 hurricane that came on shore in Palm Beach County and caused devastation around the southeastern corner of Lake Okeechobee, killing an estimated 2-3,000 people overnight.  Many of those who died in the swirling waters of the newly cultivated farming region were Black migrant laborers, and many were never found tangled in the sea of grass of the Everglades. Nearly 100 years later, two skeletons were found in the region and associated with the storm, and telling their story helps tell the story of that fateful night.

Title: Building Paradise in South Florida

Speaker: Dr. Stacey Balkan, Associate Professor of Environmental Literature and Humanities

Paradise has long been associated with abundance–the fruits of the garden, the vistas of distant peaks, the shimmering beaches of Florida’s coastal horizons. Unfortunately, in an era of cascading climate crises, such images are now shrouded by the reality of ecological limits. In this lecture, Dr. Balkan shall untangle the enduring myths of abundance without cost, while looking to works of science fiction and speculative urban design that model a more sustainable paradise for our endangered home.

Cost: $5 for Members, $10 for Non-members   (All sales are final and tickets are non-refundable).
