      <image:title>Upcoming Events - The Insect Apocalypse - University of Calgary Institute for the Humanities 42nd Annual Community Forum - Description from Poster: The Calgary Institute for the Humanities in partnership with UCalgary Alumni</image:title>
      <image:caption>Join us as we explore our relationship with insects from multiple angles, in order to understand how our thinking about insects may have contributed to their decline, and how looking more closely at our relations with our fellow creatures may help to ameliorate the situation. This year’s Community Seminar features Renaissance literature scholar Eric Brown (University of Maine at Farmington), entomologist and insect communications researcher Maya Evenden (UAlberta), and speculative fiction expert Sherryl Vint (UC Riverside). Artists Alana Bartol and Bryce Krynski will present their short film all roses sleep. Pianist Kevin Chen will perform a short recital. CIH Honorary Graduate Fellow Veronica Briseno Castrejon will discuss her research on Maya beekeeping practices.</image:caption>
