Lynne Huffer and Lauran Whitworth will discuss Huffer's latest project, These Survivals, a collage-style work in fragments which brings together philosophy, memoir, poetry, and original multimedia artworks to articulate an ethics of living on a devastated planet. 

Lynne Huffer is Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Philosophy at Emory University.

Her most recent book, These Survivals: Autobiography of an Extinction (Duke University Press, 2025), is an experimental, philosophical collage-book composed of fragments of text and original artwork on the theme of mass species extinction. She has published academic articles on feminist theory, queer theory, Foucault, ethics, and the Anthropocene, as well as personal essays, creative nonfiction, and experimental writing. She is also a collagist, installation and book artist; her artwork is held by Bryn Mawr College special collections and the Center for the Book in New York. She is currently working on a collection of philosophical essays, “The Ethics of Extinction.”

Lauran Whitworth (she/they) is Associate Professor and Chair of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Co-Director of the Environmental and Sustainability Studies minor, and Director of the Film and Media Studies minor at Agnes Scott College. Professor Whitworth is an interdisciplinary scholar who combines her training in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies with her extensive background in Art History and Film and Media Studies.

Her scholarship has appeared in TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly, the Journal of Lesbian Studies, Feminist Theory, Intersections, and CAA Reviews.
