Jupiter’s moon Europa hosts a vast underground ocean that may be suitable for life as we know it. Dr. Collins will give a talk on his research looking into evidence for plate tectonics on Europa, which could be the key to keeping Europa’s ocean habitable. He will discuss this in the larger context of what we know about Europa and why we think it’s one of the best places to look for life beyond Earth. He will also describe his involvement in building the Europa Clipper spacecraft to explore this mysterious moon in the next decade.
The talk, suitable for general audiences, is open to the Wheaton and Norton communities and will be livestreamed. The talk will be held Thursday September 12, 2019 from 5-6pm, Holman Room, Mary Lyon Hall. All are welcome to attend a reception immediately following the talk and discussion in the Woolley Room.

31st Martin Lecture Dr. Tanya Luhrmann "The Voices of Spirits and the Voices of Psychosis"
2019-09-05 19:00 - 20:30 | Mary Lyon Hall – Holman Room, Norton, MA, 02766, United States
Tanya Luhrmann is the Watkins University Professor in the Anthropology Department at Stanford University, the author of When God Talks Back, and co-editor and contributor to Our Most Troubling Madness: Case Studies in Schizophrenia across Cultures. She has done
ethnography on the streets of Chicago with homeless and psychotic women, and worked with people who hear voices in Chennai, Accra and the South Bay. She has also done fieldwork with evangelical Christians who seek to hear God speak back, with Zoroastrians who set out to create a more mystical faith, and with people who practice magic. She uses a combination of ethnographic and experimental methods to understand the phenomenology of unusual sensory experiences, the way ideas about minds and persons shape them, and what we can learn from this social shaping that can help us to help those whose voices are distressing.
