Forum Features: What Dirt is Not_Transdisciplinary Panel
In celebration of the Forum 2025-26 Annual Theme "Dirt," the Arts & Humanities Forum at the University of Oklahoma presents the second of four Transdisciplinary Research Panels. This panel is entitled "What Dirt is Not: Thinking with Loess, Shell, Sand, and Dust." It features the research of OU faculty Tamar Zinguer (Architecture), Lynn Soreghan (Geosciences), Asa Randall (Anthropology), and Oklahoma State University Oral Historian Mary Larson. These panels are designed to gather expertise from across the arts, humanities, social sciences, and STEM. Together, our panelists help us consider the many ways in which we understand dirt in contrast to other particulate matter.
