DESCRIPTION:In what ways will Antarctica matter to humanity and how is its
  significance changing? In this seminar we invite a panel of humanities sc
 holars to discuss their emerging research projects and agendas.  Through t
 he prism of their experience and expertise\, we hope that this create an o
 pportunity to reflect on the shifting Antarctic imaginaries. Unprecedented
  rates of atmospheric warming and melting ice are headline news\, but so t
 oo are the growing industrial-scale numbers of visitors to the shores of t
 he continent.  With metaphors of an empty\, pristine and inhospitable wild
 erness seemingly out of date\, how can the humanities articulate the defin
 ing questions for the region in the twenty-first century?
