Heritability and the Ancestral Present: Still & Moving Images

Join us for a conversation between Hillary Chute (Northeastern University)—preeminent scholar of comics, graphic novels and visual studies—and Elizabeth A. Povinelli (Columbia University) on Povinelli's new graphic memoir The Inheritance, a reflection on the powers of imagined geographies, kinship, and history as these cross from the Italian Alps to the American South.
