Jason Kelly is Director of the IUPUI Arts and Humanities Institute (IAHI) and Chair and Professor of History in the Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. Professor Kelly’s current research projects focus on the histories of the environment, sciences, and art and architecture. He leads The Anthropocenes Network, an international, transdisciplinary, collaborative network committed to developing innovative interventions in environmental research, pedagogy, and policy. The Anthropocenes Network is home to several projects including 1) Rivers of the Anthropocene, a research project focused on global freshwater systems and policy; 2) Voices from the Waterways, an oral history project; 3) The Anthropocene Household, a community-based research project that uses the household as a way to understand the lived experiences, knowledges, and practices associated with environmental change; and 4) Museum of the Anthropocene, an experimental platform to develop multi-sited, synchronous, interactive, networked environmental installations. Most recently, he founded The Covid-19 Oral History Project, a rapid-response research collaboration that archives the lived experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic.  

In his upcoming presentation, Professor Kelly will engage attendees in a discussion about the necessity of reimagining scholarly collaboration and public scholarship in and for the Anthropocene. In doing so, emphasizing the importance of a transdisciplinarity rooted in self-reflexivity, critique, and community engagement—and the implications for the 21^st-century university. Learn more.
