Fall Semester’s First Faculty Lecture to Feature Film Screening and Discussion, Sept. 19
Eileen Smith-Cavros, M.F.A., Ph.D.
The Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences will open its Faculty Lecture Series for the fall 2013 semester with a screening and discussion of a short documentary film exploring environmental changes in Mexico.
“Laguna Manatí: Can ‘Good’ Arise from ‘Bad’ Environmental Changes?”
Faculty Lecture Series | Eileen Smith-Cavros, M.F.A., Ph.D., associate professor at the college
Thursday, Sept. 19
5:00–6:00 p.m.
Alvin Sherman Library | Second Floor Gallery
About the Event
The documentary film is based on research conducted in rural Veracruz, Mexico, by Eileen Smith-Cavros, the late Edward O. Keith, their colleagues, and NSU undergraduate students. The film—in Spanish with English subtitles—explores the complexities of environmental changes, such as local extinction of manatees. Co-directed by Smith-Cavros and sociology major Guadalupe Almanza, the documentary is narrated by Jessica Garcia-Brown, J.D., LL.M., associate professor at the college, and dedicated to Keith, a college faculty member who passed away in September 2012.
