Hi Jeffrey. This is a long-shot, I know, but I don't suppose there's any chance these lectures are going to be filmed and possibly made available online somewhere, is there? I would love to hear what Alf Siewers has to say on ecocriticism, but there is no way I can make the lecture in D.C.
In an ideal world we'd stream all lectures as webcasts. But ... the world is not ideal, and we don't possess the resources (technological and financial) to pull that off, for the time being.
