St. John’s Lecture To Explore Artistic Expression In Animals

St. Johns COllegeSt. John’s College, Santa Fe, tutor Linda Wiener will give a lecture titled “Artistic Expression in Animals” at St. John’s College. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the Francis Scott Key Auditorium on Friday, September 6 at 8 p.m.

Wiener’s lecture will explore artistic expressions occurring in animals ranging from protists to mammals. She will investigate how biologists and philosophers, both ancient and modern, interpret these expressions and how these interpretations alter our understanding of animals and of our place in nature.

Wiener received her bachelor’s in biology from the University of Miami, her master’s in entomology from Colorado State University, and her doctorate in entomology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She was an entomology associate at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, before joining the faculty at St. John’s in 1985.
