Workshop: Approaching All Students as Language Learners
Kim Warren, Departments of History and Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies, and Meagan Patterson, CTE/Educational Psychology, will lead a discussion about approaching the classroom as if all of our students were language learners. Not only do instructors need to provide intellectual skills that are relevant to our specific disciplines, but we need to teach them the vocabulary, grammar, and syntax that drive the language of what we teach. How would our pedagogical approaches change if we scaffolded our teaching with the assumption that students were learning both skills and language?

MONTHLY MINI ZINE WORKSHOPS for KU's LGBTQIA+ community cosponsored by SGD & the Emily Taylor Center!

Archive (see link below) and disseminated on campus by ETC & SGD during events. You may submit your zine to the archive anonymously or authored.

Research On the Leading Edge: Edouard Machery
"Philosophy Within Its Proper Bounds" by Edouard Machery, Distinguished Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh,
Featuring panelists: John Symons (Philosophy), Anna Neil (English), and Chris Crandall (Psychology),
Please RSVP to this event by March 15 at hallcenter@ku.edu to confirm that you wish to attend and would like a copy of the book.
In Philosophy Within Its Proper Bounds, Edouard Machery argues that resolving many traditional and contemporary philosophical issues is beyond our epistemic reach and that philosophy should re-orient itself toward more humble, but ultimately more important intellectual endeavors. The book assesses the main philosophical method for acquiring the knowledge that the resolution of these traditional and contemporary philosophical issues turns on: the use of thought experiments in philosophy. Canvassing the extensive work done by experimental philosophers over the last 15 years, Edouard Machery shows that thought experiments are an…

KINO Film Series: "The Outskirts" (dir. Lutsik, 1998, Russia)
CREES presents the third film in the KINO Legacies of Stalinism Film Series: "The Outskirts" also known by the transliterated Russian title Okraina), directed by Petr Lutsik (1998, Russia, 95 minutes).
About the movie: "Named after the 1933 Boris Barnet classic (of which it's the rueful shadow remake), Lutsik's sparky debut is a cruel, comic fable about grim peasant vigilantes going on a killing spree to reclaim their land rights. Shot deadpan in glacial monochrome, it has an earnest absurdity fully worthy of Monty Python: grizzled kulaks forming human igloos to survive the cold during overnight stops, a neo-capitalist gangster executive whose all white office has shelves stacked to the ceiling with oil samples from the fields he has pillaged. As the violence escalates, so does the underlying vehemence, underscored by the use of music recycled from Stalinist propaganda warhorses of the 1930s. Highly original, and probably as accurate an account of current social chaos in Russia as any other."…

DOC & DISCUSS: Southwest of Salem
Please join the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity for the final event in our Spring Documentary Discussion Series — a Gaypril screening and discussion of SOUTHWEST OF SALEM: THE STORY OF THE SAN ANTONIO FOUR co-sponsored by the KU Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity (SGD),
FILM DESCRIPTION, Winner of a Peabody Award, a GLAAD Award for Outstanding Documentary, and a Critic's Choice Award for Best First Feature, SOUTHWEST OF SALEM excavates the nightmarish persecution of Elizabeth Ramirez, Cassandra Rivera, Kristie Mayhugh, and Anna Vasquez, four Latina lesbians wrongfully convicted of gang-raping two little girls in San Antonio, Texas. As low income lesbians of color, these women hold intersecting identities that make them especially vulnerable to incarceration. The film unravels the interplay of mythology, homophobia, and prosecutorial fervor that led to their indictment.

Brownbag Lecture Series: Elizabeth Wenger (Eisenhower Library)
Dr. Elizabeth Wenger (Eisenhower Presidential Library and Friends University) will deliver a lecture titled "Satiric Rogues: Satire between Protest and Team Building in Stalinist Poland."
Abstract: In the forties and fifties, the Polish censor’s office published a bulletin where the more enthusiastic censors sent not only questions and comments, but also satires, skits, poetry, and memoirs. This quasi-literary production and the content of their censorship has no neat comparison, but remains a fascinating source of inquiry. In these, both implicitly and explicitly, the censors reveal how they understood their identities in relation to both their daily work and the regime. In their accounts, neither Communism and patriotism, nor censorship and the reconstruction of the nation’s literary life were understood to be contradictory. By considering these documents more closely, it is possible to begin to break down the reductive dichotomy of collaboration and resistance. Ultimately, the Polish censors used satire…

Axial Development in Mongolia: Intended and Unintended Effects of New Roads,
Axial development in Mongolia provides a unique opportunity to consider the intended and unintended effects of introducing paved roads into regions where none exist. This research project elucidates the manner in which new mobile technologies arrange and rearrange the mundane spaces of everyday life in the Mongolian countryside. A review of relevant theoretical literature sets up an outline of Mongolia as a context for axial development. This is followed by analysis of data from a 125-person survey, 128 interviews, and participant observation in sites proximate to and distant from new paved roads. In short, this study represents an in process consideration of infrastructure development that will radically alter the Mongolian economy, environment, and socio-political landscape.

2019 George and Eleanor Woodyard Lecture
Lecture by Sebastiaan Faber, Professor and Chair of Hispanic Studies from the Oberlin College. A reception with light hors d’Oeuvres and refreshments will follow. The event is open to the public.
Lecture Title:
The Humanist as Image Detective: Spanish Civil War Photography from Metonymy to Metaphor & Back Again, Abstract:
The twentieth century doesn’t properly start until artists take hold of their scissors and glue. It’s not by chance that the cubists were so fond of collages or that Buñuel and Eisenstein reinvented cinema in the cutting room. Is there anything more modern than the cut-and-paste? Shattering the world and reassembling it: it’s what the modern artist does. But what if the world comes shattered? Spain’s war of 1936-39 featured mass bombing campaigns that left thousands of victims and turned urban landscapes into surrealist montages. Photographers and poster artists were scandalized and shocked—but also, inevitably, inspired and intrigued. The war, which broke out right when new…

Colloquium: Darcy Lecture with John Doherty
Our KU Geology Colloquium welcomes Darcy Lecturer John Doherty on Friday, April 5. Dr. Doherty is the author of PEST, a software package that is widely used for groundwater model calibration and uncertainty analysis. He has worked for more than 35 years in the water industry and currently runs his own business, Watermark Numerical Computing.
Colloquium will be held in the Beren Petroleum Center, Slawson Hall, with a reception at 2:30 p.m. followed by colloquium at 3:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
"Dancing with Models: The Importance of Model Partner Software" Abstract: Numerical simulators of groundwater flow and transport cannot fulfill their decision-support potential on their own. Instead, they must be used in partnership with equally sophisticated software that links models to data acquired at sites that they simulate - and that links models to the decisions that they are intended to support. As they “dance” with a model, these software packages can accomplish tasks such as history-matching,…
