My Take Talk: Marc Lucht

Grand Lobby
Free

Marc Lucht is director of the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences Undergraduate Research Institute (URI), where he oversees the URI's efforts to support student research, supervises the student editors of undergraduate research journal Philologia, and coordinates the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences' student exchange program with a school in Morocco. Holding a PhD in philosophy from Emory University, his scholarly work focuses on the philosophy of art and beauty; on moral philosophy, peace studies, phenomenology, and animal rights; and on intercultural dialogue. He has published and delivered numerous conference papers on the moral implications of the aesthetic consciousness, and recently has co-edited two books, one dealing with non-human animals and other creatures in Kafka, and one dealing with group violence.

Lucht will be discussing the work of Lalla Essaydi.

The My Take Talk series invites people from all walks of life to share their "take" on the art in the center's galleries. These short talks provide an inviting space for university faculty, students, and community members to experience exemplary works of art through the lenses of diverse disciplines.
