SUMMARY:Appearance Politics: Legitimacy Building in Late Imperial and Modern China
DESCRIPTION:What did the powerful men look like in Chinese history? How did they adorn their political image with power? Clark University professor Lex Lu (History) will explore these questions and more in a talk based on his recent book\, Appearance Politics: Legitimacy Building in Late Imperial and Modern China (Cornell University Press\, 2024). Using rare archival materials from Beijing\, Shanghai\, and Nanjing\, he will examine textual and visual records of political imagery and recount behind-the-scenes maneuvering of image cultivation in Chinese politics. From Ming Prince Zhu Di’s usurpation to Mao Zedong’s iconic visual legacy\, Lu will illustrate the power\, influence\, and nuance behind ever-shifting standards of male beauty. \n\n\n\nA book signing will follow immediately after the discussion. Copies of Appearance Politics will be available for purchase. \n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\nProfessor Lex Lu has taught classes on Chinese\, Japanese\, Korean\, Asian American\, and gender histories at Clark University since 2016. He is currently working on two research projects. One focuses on the history of aphrodisiacs in East Asia and its intricate relations with animal trade\, environment\, medicine\, and fertility\, which is funded by the Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities. Another is on the growth of affordable housing and the formation of modern building codes in the city of Shanghai at the turn of the 20th century. Lex is a registered General Contractor in the state of Rhode Island. He enjoys taking courses at trade school and is interested in construction of all sorts\, in particular\, residential construction. He plans to write a history book on affordable housing from a builder’s perspective. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nIn Appearance Politics\, Lex Lu argues that crafting an appealing and powerful outward image has long been a critical political tool in China. This strategy is evident in historical records\, imperial portraits\, physiognomic assessments\, photographs\, posters\, statues\, and digital images. Using rare archival materials from Beijing\, Shanghai\, and Nanjing\, Lu explores how political figures designed their images and examines the shifting standards of male beauty that shaped their choices. \n\n\n\nThe book analyzes five case studies: Ming Prince Zhu Di’s usurpation; the rise of Manchu masculinity and blended Han-Manchu beauty standards under Emperor Yongzheng; modern photography and Western beauty ideals in the early 20th century; Sun Yat-sen’s crafted image as the Republican founding father; and Mao Zedong’s iconic visual legacy.

SUMMARY:Breaking $#*% On Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Allison Tanenhaus\n\n\n\nGlitch video artist Allison Tanenhaus specializes in immersive op art\, anachronistic tech mashups\, and unexpected dimensional qualities. At a time when platforms pervasively cull personal data—and digital conformity is the norm—Tanenhaus views reclaiming devices\, embracing error\, and transforming shared environments as radical acts of autonomy\, mindfulness\, and community. Her earliest digital works were created via smartphone glitch apps; her recent work in AI seeks to similarly short-circuit machine-learning processes. She manipulates the software’s lean toward logic\, producing imagery and songs steeped in the saccharine\, saturated\, and surreal. In this talk\, Tanenhaus will share her unconventional creative path\, from typographic street art to experimental AI installations\, cat stickers to electronic music collaborations. \n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nSponsored by the Interactive Arts Collaborative through the Arts + Technology Program at Clark University \n\n\n\n\nScience fiction\, literature\, and experimental cinema collide in a concert by Cosmic Lucifer featuring psychedelic visuals by Allison Tanenhaus. Join us for this special event on April 16 at 7 p.m. in Razzo Hall. Click HERE for more details. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the SpeakerAllison Tanenhaus (she/her) is a New York–born\, Somerville–based glitch media artist. Using smartphone apps\, she glitches and restitches original photos and personal artifacts into vibrant otherworldly abstractions. Made with equal parts deliberation and experimentation\, the rainbow-hued mutations take on a psychedelic life of their own. Tanenhaus’ work has been showcased in 26 countries via exhibitions\, installations\, music videos\, live performances\, and guerrilla street art. Highlights include Boston Cyberarts\, Boston Museum of Science Planetarium\, and her traveling shows “GlitchKraft” and “Haus Party.”

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.

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: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.

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: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.

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:From Data to Doubt: Understanding AI’s Cultural Impact
DESCRIPTION:Image by [your123]/stock.adobe.com\n\n\n\n\nDue to the ongoing storm clean-up and current campus operations\, this event will be open only to students and faculty from invited classes. We apologize for this change\, but we look forward to welcoming you back to our public programming in March. Please watch for additional announcements coming soon! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThanks to AI-generated media\, Pope Francis became an unlikely fashion icon in a white Balenciaga puffer coat. A fake photo showing an explosion at the Pentagon caused widespread confusion and a brief stock sell-off in the US. And a track called “Heart on My Sleeve” gained millions of streams across platforms before it was removed due to copyright violation for featuring AI-simulated vocals by Drake and The Weeknd. \n\n\n\nWe are in an age shaped by artificial intelligence when images\, sounds\, and texts can be easily fabricated or altered. So how do we decide what counts as evidence\, authenticity\, or truth when even the most persuasive media may be synthetic? Is skepticism still a productive critical tool\, or has doubt itself become something that can be manufactured and manipulated? Can we find a healthy balance between appreciating the potential benefits and creativity of AI content while objectively assessing its risk and impact? AI systems rely on massive amounts of people’s data and labor\, as well as vast natural resources to produce its outputs. What are the consequences of this extractive model? Who has authority – and who profits – when these systems remain opaque? \n\n\n\nJoin us for a community conversation to examine the shifting relationship between media\, artificial intelligence\, and public trust at a moment when credibility feels increasingly unstable. Framed by the Higgins Institute’s symposium theme “I Don’t Believe You: Truth\, Deception\, and Doubt\,” we will approach AI not merely as a technical innovation but as a cultural force that reshapes how belief and skepticism function in everyday life. Together we will explore AI’s roles across contemporary media ecosystems—social platforms\, recommendation systems\, automated agents\, and deepfakes and generative art— and interrogate how these systems construct authority\, obscure authorship\, and invite both confidence and uncertainty. \n\n\n\nThis discussion will be facilitated by Professor Matt Malsky and the students of MCA 250 Deepfakes\, Bots\, and the Algorithmic Gaze. It is offered through the Digital Humanities Research Collaborative. \n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Toby Sisson: ‘Bearing Witness’ Exhibition and Gallery Talk
DESCRIPTION:Toby Sisson. Jimmy’s Blue Sky. 2023\, Collage of Cut Paper\, Photograph\, Encaustic Monotype Prints\, An American Journey series\n\n\n\nJoin us for a lunchtime gallery talk to celebrate an exhibition by Clark University professor Toby Sisson that explores oral history from the Great Migration — the movement of 6 million Black people from the south to the north between 1910 and 1970. Sisson’s artwork is a visual meditation on her late father’s origin story in the Mississippi Delta and the family narrative constructed by its retelling. Composed as a series of collages that portray abstract truths in the absence of material proof\, these pieces from her An American Journey series counter silences within the historical record of Black America. Professor Asha Best will facilitate. \n\n\n\nAdmission to the gallery talk is free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 1:15 p.m. for refreshments. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition will be on display through December 5\, 2025\, but hours may vary. Please contact HigginsInstitute@clarku.edu for more information or to arrange a viewing.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Creating Large-Scale Participatory Public Installations
DESCRIPTION:Located along the Port Authority Bus Terminal at West 42nd Street and 8th Avenue in Times Square\, this 72-foot\, 5.5 million pixel\, high-resolution LED display featured full multi-person interaction along its entire length via the NOIRFLUX interaction framework.\n\n\n\nRegretfully\, we have had to cancel this week’s lecture\, “Creating Large Scale Participatory Public Installations\,” by Clark alums Lorne Covington and Bill Saiff on Thursday\, October 23 at 7:30pm. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to see you at future events sponsored by our Interactive Arts Collaborative. More to come soon! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHow do you create public art and experiences that respond to people—not just one person\, but many\, all at once? Artists\, technologists\, and Clark University alumni Lorne Covington ’81 and Bill Saiff ’81 of NOIRFLUX will share how they design large-scale interactive environments where curious—but non-specialist—audiences become participants. Their work blends readily available technologies with their own custom-built tools to create installations that can sense\, respond to\, and engage any number of people in real time. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Covington and Saiff will describe how they use design methods that focus on the participants’ experiences to make intuitive\, engaging\, and rewarding installations. They will show examples across art\, education\, research\, and entertainment\, and will invite the audience to join in and interact with some of their work firsthand. \n\n\n\nCovington and Saiff’s creative journey began in the late 1970s\, experimenting with Clark’s PDP-11/70 computer in the Goddard Library basement. By the early 1980s they were already designing some of the world’s first interactive video systems and applications. While their professional careers took them down separate paths—Lorne as a filmmaker\, technologist\, and creative innovator\, and Bill as a leader in user experience research and design—they remained collaborators\, continually refining their shared vision of how people engage with technology. Since founding NOIRFLUX in 2011\, they have combined Lorne’s expertise in interactive media and sensing technologies with Bill’s decades of UX leadership to create installations that transform spectators into collective participants through interaction\, exploration\, and play. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is free and open to the public. This event is sponsored by the Interactive Arts Collaborative through the Arts + Technology Program and is hosted by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities\, the Becker School of Design and Technology\, and the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Clark University.
