Tumamoc Hill Author Series: Ted Fleming
Welcome to the Spring 2026 Tumamoc Author Series, a collaboration between the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill, the Southwest Center, and the University of Arizona Press.
Each season, as the sun gives us a well-deserved break and shadows stretch across ancient Tumamoc Hill, we gather to hear from writers whose work captures the spirit, complexity, and wonder of the Southwest. This year’s lineup continues that tradition, featuring authors who challenge, illuminate, and celebrate the landscapes and cultures of our shared region. Join us for evenings of conversation, reflection, and community in one of Tucson’s most storied places.
For the February 11 event, hummingbirds are the stars of the show. See beautiful photographs of birds, bats, and the flowers that they pollinate. Author Ted Fleming spent thirty-nine years in academia at the University of Missouri–St. Louis and the University of Miami, teaching ecology courses and conducting research on tropical rodent populations and plant-visiting bats and their food plants in Panama, Costa Rica, Australia, Mexico, and Arizona.
