Julia Christensen produced the The Margin Release Lecture Series from 2007-2011 as a part of her endowed chair at Oberlin College and Conservatory, The Henry Luce Professorship of the Emerging Arts. The goal of the series was to bring artists, musicians, thinkers, and makers to campus to bridge thought across academic and artistic disciplines. Artists generally gave a public lecture on campus that was free and open to the public. Often, participants also engaged in a creative endeavor with the Oberlin students, including field trips, film screenings, collaborative art shows, and studio projects.
