the unexpected...what’s next?
What is the nature of change? What is the story behind a
transformation? Metamorphosis encapsulates the many ways in which Xbecomes Y.
Conceptions of mutability are limitless, from the biological, to the
ontological, to the social and cultural, to the literary and artistic. On March
23-24, Skidmore faculty will gather to theorize transformation and to
conceptualize change, speculating on its mechanisms, its causes and effects,
the value we attach to it, its potential terror as well as its thrill.
Our mission
To support humanistic inquiry at Skidmore; to underscore
Skidmore’s historic strength in the humanities; to express an on-going commitment
to the work of humanists as a vital, vibrant force and presence within our
institutional culture; and to make public the process and the fruits of
humanistic inquiry.
