Marking time: Thinking through stone on the Jurassic Coast

Event details

Speaker(s): Rose Ferraby (University of Exeter)

On the South-West coast of England, the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site stand facing the sea. On their faces we see written millions of years of time; of landscapes strange and changed. This talk will explore different ways of knowing these stone exposures. How might they shape our perception of the past and anticipation of the future?
