Event Details

End: August 6, 2015

Nine leading scholars from the humanities and the sciences will convene for a series of conversations about how literature, media, and the arts construct stories about life in the universe – in novels, short-stories, film, theatre, and the news – and how these narratives influence the way we understand our own human role in the cosmos. Titled "Stories about Life in the Cosmos: Historical, Cultural, and Artistic Perspectives on Astrobiology," the event is part three of a three-part Blumberg Dialogues on Astrobiology, hosted by the Kluge Center as part of the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Astrobiology Program.
