UNIVERSITY PARK – The Palmer Museum of Art will present the Marcellus Shale Tour and Panel Discussion titled “Boom/Bust Cycles of Extractive Industries in Pennsylvania” at the museum from 4:30 p.m. – 6 p.m. Oct. 29.

Visitors can tour the exhibition “Marcellus Shale Documentary Project” with Dana Carlisle Kletchka, curator of education, from 4:30 p.m. – 5 p.m. and participate in the panel discussion from 5 p.m. – 6 p.m. A reception will immediately follow in the Christoffers Lobby until 7 p.m.

Since the 1700’s, Pennsylvania has been a major supplier of various forms of energy and resources. Coal, iron, timber and now natural gas have literally fueled an economic boom in addition to generating controversy and concern over their impact on humans and the environment. Panelists will discuss historical and social aspects of extractive industries and offer perspectives that might shape thinking and practices into the future.

Panelists include:

— Michael Bérubé (moderator), director, Institute for the Arts and Humanities, and Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Literature

— Sandra Barney, professor of history, Lock Haven University

— Brian Black, professor of history and environmental studies, Penn State Altoona

— Kathy Brasier, associate professor of rural sociology

— William J. Doan, professor of theater and women’s studies

The event is sponsored by the museum, the Institute for the Arts and Humanities and The Rock Ethics Institute.

“Marcellus Shale Documentary Project” was organized by the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, a nonprofit community arts campus offering arts education programs and contemporary art exhibitions and providing services and resources for individual artists throughout western Pennsylvania.
