GSG Colloquium Series: Dr. Gillian Galford
2025-11-06 12:00 - 13:00 | Grace Conference Room, Higgins University Center
Shifting Frontiers: Land-Use Transitions and Agricultural Intensification in Brazil’s Cerrado

Gillian Galford

Research Associate Professor, Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources; Fellow of the Gund Institute for the Environment at the University of Vermont

Brazil’s Cerrado, the world’s most biodiverse savanna, is being rapidly transformed by agriculture and global markets. In this talk, Dr. Gillian Galford draws on geospatial and remote sensing analyses combined with geopolitical and socioeconomic perspectives to show how deforestation—primarily for pasture—often precedes cropland development. Shifts in crop rotations reveal both intensifying land use and expanding agricultural frontiers, while global trade demand accelerates these changes. Together, these dynamics illuminate the powerful forces reshaping one of Earth’s most critical ecosystems.

Albert M. Tapper Annual Lecture

Keynote: Lessons and Legacies of the Holocaust: Inaugural Emerging Scholars Conference

Speaker: Sarah Casteel (Professor of English, Carleton University)

Holocaust Studies From the Outside In: Art and Relational Thinking in Times of Crisis

In the aftermath of October 7th, as the contemporary meaning and relevance of the Holocaust come under greater pressure, Holocaust studies is confronting existential questions regarding its purpose and future. This talk considers how remapping the field through unconventional disciplinary, cultural, and geographical lenses can help scholars to navigate these challenges. In keeping with the field’s recent colonial turn, it identifies wartime and contemporary literature and visual art that present Holocaust experience as entangled with other histories of violence. In particular, Black writing and art about the Holocaust promote a relational understanding of shared and intersecting histories that combats contemporary polarization.
