SUMMARY:CUSB Faculty Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:“Resilience in Adversity: Adverse Events and the Evolution of Physician Referral Ties” \n\n\n\nwith Dr. Jisoo Park\, Assistant Professor of Management\, Clark University\, School of Business. \n\n\n\nResearch Abstract: We examine how individuals make tie maintenance decisions following task failures in partnerships. Prior research suggests that individuals often weaken ties following such failures\, viewing them as signals of poor partner quality. However\, doing so may be premature because failures can stem from a combination of individual and contextual factors. We ask which individuals make discerning tie maintenance decisions after a failure\, differentiating between failures that vary in the extent of contextual influence. We examine referral relationships among 6\,526 Florida physician dyads from 2016 to 2020 that experienced a shared patient death following a medical procedure. Employing a difference-in-differences design\, we find that attending physicians practicing within a single hospital reduce referrals to the operating physician partner indiscriminately following a patient death. In contrast\, attending physicians practicing across multiple hospitals respond more selectively: they maintain partnerships after high-risk deaths (high contextual influence) but weaken ties following low-risk deaths (low contextual influence). Our findings highlight multi-organizational experience as a key mechanism shaping informed tie decay decisions. \n\n\n\nHeld in person in Carlson 203 and via Zoom!  \n\n\n\nhttps://clarku.zoom.us/j/95385175083?pwd=WLmSPclTBjlN5LQntrd6fZCaFlzOFe.1 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID:953 8517 5083  \n\n\n\nPasscode:087338

SUMMARY:Wallace W. Atwood Lecture: Mishuana Goeman\, University at Buffalo
DESCRIPTION:Mishuana Goeman\, Professor and Chair of Indigenous Studies at the University at Buffalo and President of the American Studies Association\, will deliver the annual Wallace W. Atwood Lecture \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTreaty Art: The Visual Geographies of Expressive Citizenship\n\n\n\nThis talk explores the iconography of treaties in contemporary art practices in the context of one hundred years of the Indian Citizenship Act. The Act itself centers on the human and the closing of the co-constitutive power of the US and Canadian territorial sovereignty. The act attempts to domesticates Indians—and our lands– as citizens under the shroud of American Legal territorial sovereignty\, moving Indigenous lands to the purview of the secretary of the Interior in the US and under the patriarchy of the Indian Act in Canada. In contrast to this moment\, artists have long depicted an alternative vision of the relationship between belonging and land that exceeds settler borders and their colonial premises. I will examine examples of the reconfiguration of forms of territorial sovereignty through art practices that rethink land and relationships not only between landed points but also in relation to other humans and more-than-humans. How do contemporary art practices create not only a sense of belonging but also a sense of reciprocity and responsibility? How is a “sea to shining sea” affective regime of belonging disrupted by the visual impact of Indigenous artists who address colonization and forms of settler structures of belonging that are often gendered practices? What might we gain from examining public art and other built environments where the subtlety of assertion of treaty rights\, existing before the 1924 act\, is not so apparent to a North American public but is the iconography that creates a sense of belonging from those in reciprocal relationships with Indigenous Nations? How does expressive citizenship creatively refuse a hundred years of settler citizenship and disrupt colonial geographies based on patriarchal property logics? \n\n\n\nDr. Mishuana Goeman\, daughter through the patrilineal line of enrolled Tonawanda Band of Seneca\, Hawk Clan\, is a Professor and Chair of Indigenous Studies at the University at Buffalo and President of the American Studies Association. Her monographs include Mark My Words: Native Women Mapping Our Nations (2013) and Settler Aesthetics: The Spectacle of Originary Moments in the New World (2023). She is also part of the feminist editorial collective for Keywords in Gender and Sexuality Studies (2021)\, which won the Choice Award in 2021\, and now is part of a Podcast series of the same name. Digital Projects where she is a co-pi include Carrying Our Ancestors Home (COAH\, 2019)\, Mukurtu California Native Hub (2020)\, and the Haudenosaunee Archival Research and Knowledge (Hark\, 2023)\, Mapping Indigenous L.A (2015-2024).

SUMMARY:Spirituality and the Ethics of Conservation: The Collapse of Marine Fisheries in West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Presented byEmmanuel Akyeampong\, PhDEllen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies\, Harvard UniversityMinister for Worship and Formation\, Harvard University Memorial Church \n\n\n\nIn the 1960s\, economist and anthropologist Polly Hill dubbed Ghanaians “Pan-African fisherman.” Ghanaian fishermen could be found all along the West African coast from the Gambia to the Niger Delta. Today\, Ghana accounts for about 70 to 80 percent of all pelagic fish catches (sardines\, anchovies\, herring\, mackerel) in the Gulf of Guinea. Yet in the past two to three decades\, annual catches of small pelagic fish there have declined precipitously\, plummeting from 270\,000 metric tons in 1990s to 16\,000 metric tons in 2016. The factors accounting for the decline are complex: overfishing\, ocean warming\, the menace of foreign industrial trawlers\, and illegal\, unreported\, and unregulated (IUU) fishing practices. The collapse of marine fisheries has generated a debate about customary practices rooted in indigenous religion that treated the sea as sacred space and regulated fishing practices. Has social change and religious pluralism undermined the ethics of conservation? How can the ethics of conservation be rehabilitated as part of the multi-pronged effort to revive marine fisheries along the West African coast? \n\n\n\nAdmission to the talk is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45am for refreshments. \n\n\n\nSponsored as part of the Leir Lecture Series by the School of Climate\, Environment\, and Society; the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities; the Marsh Institute; the Center for Gender\, Race\, and Area Studies; and the Departments of English: of History; of Language\, Literature\, and Culture; and of Sustainability and Social Justice at Clark University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the SpeakerEmmanuel Akyeampong is the Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University\, and the Minister for Worship and Formation at Harvard University Memorial Church. He served as the Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Harvard Center for African Studies from July 2016 to June 2023. Akyeampong is a Fellow of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and a Corresponding Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (UK). He obtained his PhD in History from the University of Virginia in 1993\, and his MDiv from Andover Newton Theological School in 2014. He received an honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Ghana in 2018\, and an honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of Cape Coast in 2023. Akyeampong is the author and editor of several books and articles including Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (2023); Between the Sea and the Lagoon: An Eco-Social History of the Anlo of Southeastern Ghana (2001); and Drink\, Power\, and Cultural Change: A Social History of Alcohol in Ghana\, c.1800 to Recent Times (1996). He served as co-chief editor with Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, for the Dictionary of African Biography\, 6 vols. (2012). Akyeampong is a principal investigator for one of the inaugural grants from the Harvard Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability\, “Examining the Impact of Sea-Level Rise\, Urban Flooding\, and Coastal Erosion on Settlement and Livelihoods in Côte d’Ivoire\, Ghana\, and Nigeria.”

SUMMARY:Feeling and Knowing: An Uprooting of Things
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to feel things we know? How do we know what we feel? When do our emotions capture the truth\, and when do they deceive us? This Clark faculty roundtable will showcase lightning talks on the early modern roots of how we think about emotions today. It will examine how we can look to the past\, not for answers to our present realities but to offer new insights on who we have always been. Faculty will share snippets from their research about the ways emotions manifest to determine how we know ourselves and engage with each other.  \n\n\n\nFeatured speakers will include Lisa Kasmer (English)\, Justin Shaw (English)\, and Wiebke Deimling (Philosophy). Kathleen Palm Reed (Psychology) will offer commentary. Benjamin Korstvedt (Visual and Performing Arts) will moderate. \n\n\n\nThis event continues the Roots of Everything\, a lecture series sponsored by Early Modernists Unite (EMU)—a faculty collaborative bringing together scholars of medieval and early modern Europe and America—in conjunction with the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities. The series highlights various aspects of modern existence originating in the early modern world by connecting past and present knowledge. \n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public.

Allen Jr. Symposium Series on Bonding and Structure was established in 1986 in recognition of Dr. Allen’s many years of service to Clark University. He joined Clark in 1969 as Chair of the Department of Chemistry. Later administrative roles included Dean of the Graduate School\, Associate Provost\, and Dean of Research. \n\n\n\nAllen was a native of Saugus\, Massachusetts and alumnus of Northeastern University (B.S.)\, Brown University (Sc.M.)\, and the University of Washington (Ph.D.). After Postdoctoral work at Harvard and Cambridge Universities\, and a year of teaching at Michigan State University\, Allen joined the National Bureau of Standards as a researcher in molecular structure and spectroscopy. In 1961 he became Chief of the Analytical Inorganic Division\, and\, in 1965\, Deputy Director of the Institute for Materials. From 1966-1969 he served as Assistant Director of the Bureau of Mines. Author of more than 60 published works and past associate editor of the Journal of Chemical Physics\, Allen also received awards for outstanding service from the United States Department of Commerce\, National Bureau of Standards\, and the Bureau of Mines. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Chemistry at Clark\n\n\n\nThe chemistry program at Clark began in 1889 as one of the five original academic doctoral programs at the inception of Clark University as a primarily graduate institution. The program existed under the direction of John Nef until 1894 when the department was closed due to financial challenges. The chemistry graduate program was reinstated in 1907 under the direction of Martin Rosanoff after the addition of the undergraduate college to Clark University in 1902 facilitated an expansion of the science faculty. The undergraduate and graduate programs have continued uninterrupted since then under the leadership of Rosanoff\, followed by others such as Charles Kraus (1914 – 1925)\, B. S. Merigold (1926 – 1946)\, and Harry C. Allen Jr. (starting in 1969). \n\n\n\nOur department was initially housed in the Chemical Laboratory building (present day Math/Physics Building)\, the second building built on campus. In 1959\, the Jeppson Laboratory was constructed to house the department. In 1985\, the Sackler Science Center was opened as a home for the physical sciences with the addition of a new wing to Jeppson. In 1992\, the department was renamed the Gustaf H. Carlson School of Chemistry due to the generosity of Gustaf Carlson (BA ‘26\, MA ‘27\, D.Sc. ‘77) and became the Gustaf H. Carlson School of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 1999. More than 130 years later\, the department continues with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry and biochemistry-and-molecular-biology and doctoral degrees in chemistry and biochemistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n  \nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nSackler Sciences Center\n\n\n\n\n  \nparking

SUMMARY:Uncertain Empire: Jews\, Nationalism\, and the Fate of British Imperialism
DESCRIPTION:Following the British conquest of Ottoman Palestine\, Jews across the British Empire—from Jerusalem to Johannesburg\, London to Calcutta—found themselves at the heart of global Jewish political discourse. As these intellectuals\, politicians\, activists\, and communal elites navigated shifting political landscapes\, some envisioned Palestine as a British dominion\, leveraging imperial power for Jewish state-building\, while others fostered ties with anticolonial movements\, contemplating independent national aspirations. In this talk\, Clark University professor Elizabeth Imber (History) explores the intricate interplay between British imperialism\, Zionism\, and anticolonial movements from the 1917 British conquest of Palestine to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. With context from her new book\, Uncertain Empire: Jews\, Nationalism\, and the Fate of British Imperialism (Stanford University Press\, 2025)\, Imber will show how the British Empire’s fate became central to Zionist and broader Jewish political thought during a time marked by profound urgency and exigency. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the Higgins Faculty Series. Admission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45pm for refreshments. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElizabeth Imber is Associate Professor of History and the Michael and Lisa Leffell Chair in Modern Jewish History at Clark University. Her work examines the cultural and political dimensions and intersections of Jewish history and European imperial history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her first book\, Uncertain Empire: Jews\, Nationalism\, and the Fate of British Imperialism (Stanford University Press\, 2025)\, explores the multifaceted nature of Jewish politics in the British Empire during the rise of anticolonial national and transnational political movements.
