Save the date for the opening of the Humanities Institute's new mini-exhibition of material culture. This semester's exhibition is focused on the thylacine, a marsupial once found in the mainland of Australia. Ph.D. student Daisy Ahlstone will present their
personal collection of thylacine artifacts and discuss the debate on whether the thylacine is actually extinct or merely in hiding. Legends abound on recent sightings of this mysterious animal, and there is a wealth of material culture celebrating what was
once called the "Tasmanian Tiger." (This animal never lived in Tasmania, nor is it a tiger.)</p>
