Multidisciplinary scholar Betty Smocovitis, who holds joint appointments in history and zoology at the University of Florida, kicks off the Year of Darwin celebration with “Singing His Praises: Darwin and His Theory in Song and Musical Production,” a multimedia lecture featuring music and slides. In anticipation of February’s 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of "On the Origins of the Species," Smocovitis will lecture on Darwin, his theory and its expression in popular culture in general and American culture in particular. She will explore a number of issues in the history of evolution pertaining to controversies surrounding Darwin and his theory, all in a lighthearted and engaging manner. Smocovitis comes to CC as a Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar. Her research focuses on the history, philosophy and sociology of the 20th-century biological sciences, especially evolutionary biology, systematics, ecology and genetics, as well as the history of American botany. Sponsored by the Beta of Colorado chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, CC's departments of Philosophy, Biology, History, Sociology, and Music, the Office of the Dean and the Crown Faculty Center.
