MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� Murray State鈥檚 Humanities+ Series continues on Thursday, March 5 at 4 p.m. in Faculty Hall with 鈥淪hifting Landscapes: A Photographic Chronicle of Humanity and Nature in western Kentucky鈥� with Murray State faculty Cintia Segovia Figueroa, assistant professor of art, and Dr. Kate He, professor of biology. The event is free and open to the public. 

Funded by a competitive grant from the Kentucky Art Council and the Kentucky Historical Society, the project showcases archives and photography works that highlight changes in western Kentucky's landscapes and society. In their Humanities+ presentation, He and professor Segovia Figueroa will discuss how the project shows the progression of time through environmental events and human stories, and aims to encourage conversations about natural history, cultural heritage, conservation and sustainability. 

Dr. Kate He is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Murray State University. She earned her B.S. and M.S. degrees in Plant Biology from Northeast Forestry University in Harbin, China, and her Ph.D. in Quantitative Ecology from Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. He鈥檚 research focuses broadly on plant ecology, with an emphasis on the statistical analysis of patterns and processes in plant communities across time and space. Dr. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses, including Botany, Quantitative Ecology, and Conservation Biology, and is committed to mentoring students in research. In her spare time, she is a passionate amateur nature photographer, and her work has been featured in multiple national and international juried exhibitions over the years.

Cintia Segovia Figueroa was born and raised in Mexico City, where she worked in the entertainment industry. Learning English in the U.S. as an adult gave her a unique perspective on the nuances of the language. Her photography and socially engaged approach explore themes of immigration, displacement and bilingualism. She earned a Master of Arts from California State University (CSU), Northridge, and a Master of Fine Arts from CSU, Long Beach. The Museum of Latin American Art and the National Immigration Law Center have collected her work, and private galleries and museums worldwide have exhibited it, including the Spartanburg Art Museum, the Torrance Art Museum and the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History.
