Dear colleagues,
We would like to let you know about "Modern Times, Rural Places," a
seminar series that will take place at MIT throughout the next academic
year. The series will focus on change in agrarian and environmental
contexts,
particularly as influenced by technological and scientific ideologies and
practices. It is part of the Sawyer Seminars program of the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation.
The Seminar will meet on Friday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00. The location
will be at MIT, in E51-095, on Memorial Drive and Wadsworth Street.
Below is the schedule of speakers. If you would like to be put on a
mailing list to receive further information about the seminar (titles of
the talks, logistical information, etc.), please contact Diane St. Laurent
