Join us for the fourth in the Dean's Lecture Series when  Elizabeth Polcha, PhD ,  presents “Anti-Colonial Methods of Reading Eighteenth-century Natural History” on April 10. Dr. Polcha is an assistant professor of English and Digital Humanities at Drexel University whose research examines race, gender, and sexuality in print and visual culture from the eighteenth-century Atlantic World. Her book project, Venus in Transit: Gendered Violence and the Production of Natural History, argues that natural history became a discipline in the eighteenth century through a culture of sexual exploitation.

The Dean's Lecture Series introduces research and scholarship by new faculty members in the College of Arts and Sciences to our larger Drexel community.
