Up first in a series of both live and virtual upcoming environmental programs, Dr. Kent Linthicum will be giving a talk at the South Fulton Institute for Art, Culture, and the Environment.

Jemisin’s Broken Earth Trilogy, the Game of Thrones series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Battlefield 2042, Civilization 6, and other media are part of Linthicum's case studies.
