Something Frozen This Way Comes-Photographs of Antarctica
Join us on
Tuesday, July 7th
at 7pm at the Hudson Library & Historical Society for “Antarctica:
something frozen
this way comes”. Hudson Alumnus Julia Dooley will share her
breath-taking color photographs and tales of this
frozen continent.
Julia was part of the ANDRILL Project as an
ARISE Educator for two months in the Austral spring of 2007.
ANDRILL is an international team of researchers in Antarctica. They
drill rock cores to obtain a geologic record of
the continent, which allows us to look back in time to see how
conditions on Earth have changed over millions of
years. ARISE (ANDRILL Research Immersion for Science Educators) is a
program that provides science educators
with an inside view of ANDRILL, engaging them in authentic Antarctic
geoscience, and using their expertise in
education to implement innovative approaches to geoscience education
and public outreach.
In addition to her presentation, you will have
an opportunity to meet with Julia prior to the program. From 6-7pm,
you can meet with Julia and view her photography, which will be on
display in our Watson-Ewell-Currin Art Gallery.
While the subject matter alone makes this an unusual show, it is
Julia’s unique vision that gives us a glimpse into
this personal experience, transcending landscape photography. Light
refreshments will be served.
Hudson was a long-time home to Julia and her
family. After graduation, she earned a BFA in photography from
Rochester Institute of Technology. She earned a MEd in Elementary
Education and teaches talented/gifted students
in the Delaware public school system. Julia now resides in Newark,
Delaware and adds to her photography resume
whenever possible.
This program is free and open to the public.
