Double Exposure: Photography and the Civil War in the American West
Double Exposure: Photography and the Civil War in the American West
Thursday, February 5, 2026: LNCO 2110, 3:30- 5:00 PM
Please join us for this year’s annual American West Lecture, “Double Exposure: Photography and the Civil War in the American West,” delivered by Robert Sullivan. This talk, based on Sullivan’s book by the same title, documents the life of Timothy O’Sullivan, America’s most famous war photographer, whose photo “A Harvest of Death,” taken at Gettysburg, is an icon of the Civil War. The images of the American West O’Sullivan made after the war, while traveling with the surveys led by Clarence King and George Wheeler, display a prescient awareness of what photography would become; years later, Ansel Adams would declare his work “surrealistic and disturbing.” Double Exposure documents O’Sullivan’s career and impact on American photography, while also charting the long-lasting impact the Civil War had on the American West.

Disabled Ecologies: A Multispecies Reckoning
Wednesday, March 18, 2026: LNCO 2110, 3:30-5:00 PM
Please join us for a groundbreaking talk by Dr. Sunaura Taylor from her newest book, Disabled Ecologies, which tells the story of a Tucson aquifer forever altered by a Superfund site, and the contamination’s ripple effects through the largely Mexican American community living above. Drawing on her own complex relationship to this long-ago injured landscape, Taylor takes us with her to follow the site's disabled ecology—the networks of disability, both human and wild, that are created when ecosystems are corrupted and profoundly altered. Disabled Ecologies maps out alternative modes of connection, solidarity, and resistance—an environmentalism of the injured. An original and deeply personal reflection on what disability means in an era of increasing multispecies disablement. This event is free and open to the public.
