New Terms for the Universe: A Visual, Archival, Ecological Lexicon

“A Universe of Terms” first appeared at The Immanent Frame in 2019–2020 and A Universe of Terms, an illustrated book based on that digital project, was published by Indiana University Press in 2022. This event convenes the principal investigators of a Henry Luce Foundation-funded digital expansion titled “New Terms for the Universe” to share and discuss the outcome of their collaboration, highlighting the promises and challenges of interdisciplinary work.
