WHAT: Christopher White, associate professor of religion at Vassar College, will give the talk, “Doorways to Invisible Dimensions: Claude Bragdon’s Other-Worldly Art, the ‘Fourth Dimension’ and Modern Forms of Enchantment.”
ABOUT: The lecture explores how scientific modernity sometimes fostered unexpected forms of religious belief and enchantment.

SPONSOR: The American Studies Program.
