Writer, Earth historian and Mount Holyoke College professor of environmental studies Lauret Savoy will speak on her book Trace: Memory, History, Race, and the American Landscape. Sand and stone are Earth’s fragmented memory. Yet each of us, too, is a landscape inscribed by memory and loss. In this provocative mosaic of historical inquiry and personal journeys across a continent and time, Savoy explores how we are shaped by memory in place and how the country’s still-unfolding history marks a person as well as the land.
