SUMMARY:Fishers\, Foragers and Fine Diners
DESCRIPTION:Ben Jamieson Stanley (they/them)\, Assistant Professor of English at the University of Delaware\, will deliver an invited guest lecture at Clark University related to their recently published book: Precarious Eating: Narrating Environmental Harm. \nWhile “climate fiction” has become privileged in the Global North\, Global South representations more often trace environmental precarity to its roots in colonization and globalized capitalism. This talk situates fisheries and foraging as a point of entry to South Africa’s Western Cape\, where bustling culinary and environmental tourism coincide with hunger and stratification. Connecting Zakes Mda’s 2005 novel The Whale Caller to contemporary cookbooks and restaurants\, the talk follows the changing meanings of endangered mollusks such as abalone: from their role in indigenous foodways\, to the 1990s “abalone wars\,” and to the appropriation of “indigenous foods” in eco-gastronomic cuisine. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45 am for refreshments. \n\nBen Jamieson Stanley (they/them) is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Delaware\, where they are directing the launch of a new Center for Environmental Humanities. Ben’s research focuses on how we narrate and understand relationships among globalization\, empire\, and environmental precarity. Professor Stanley has also published on topics such as climate fiction\, veganism\, botanical gardens as tools of both empire and resistance\, and energy systems in Afrofuturist film. Their work can be found in journals such as ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment\, The Global South\, and Matatu: Journal for African Culture and Society. Professor Stanley is working on a second book tentatively titled Mobilities: Movement and Energy in a Changing South Africa\, which brings together questions of energy transition\, gender and sexuality\, and transit justice. \n

SUMMARY:School of Business: Faculty Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join School of Business faculty\, staff\, and students for an interesting dive into some recent research by Professor Atefeh Yazdanparast Ardestani\, associate professor in the School of Business.\nTitle: Color Saturation and Anticipated Sensory Intensity: An Account of Psychological Proximity \nAbstract: Color saturation is an important and relevant attribute in products and packaging. However\, the role of color saturation in relation to sensory attributes beyond the visual sense remains under-investigated. To partially address this broader gap\, the present investigation aims to document the effect of color saturation on the anticipated intensity of attributes related to other senses (smell\, taste\, touch\, and sound). Four studies collectively find that higher saturation in products and packaging results in heightened anticipated sensory intensity and support that psychological proximity is the underlying mechanism of this effect. This effect is tested across different product categories (i.e.\, soap\, microfiber towels\, a music album\, and cookies) using both the coloring of the product and its packaging with the effect found across different senses (i.e.\, scent\, touch\, sound\, taste\, smell\, and texture). Further\, arousal and processing fluency are ruled out as alternative explanations. \nJoin in person or online via Zoom:  \nMeeting ID: 923 2657 7294  — Passcode: 539642

SUMMARY:The Embodied and Affective Language of Self-Immolation as Political Protest
DESCRIPTION:Sara Hassani\nThis talk by Sara Hassani\, professor of political science at Providence College\, examines the political significance of self-immolation among women and girls in Iran\, Afghanistan\, Tajikistan\, and Uzbekistan.  Through extensive interviews with survivors\, healthcare workers\, civil society\, and community members\, the analysis challenges dominant Western liberal frameworks that limit recognition of political self-destruction to acts performed at government building or accompanied by manifestos and collective movements.  These self-immolations – frequently mischaracterized as mere psychopathology – emerge as an embodied and affective language of protest against state-sanctioned gender-based violence\, oppression\, and coercive control.  The acts function symbolically to expose injustice\, shame perpetrators\, articulate resistance\, and foster solidarity through shared cultural understanding.  In so doing\, they call for a broader re-imagining of the role of embodied strategies\, symbolisms\, and affect in their relationship to contentious politics.  \nSara Hassani completed her Ph.D. in Political Science at The New School for Social Research where she was a Prize and ACLS/Mellon Fellow. Her work in political theory explores themes of political violence\, state\, policing\, and resistance.  She is currently working on a manuscript based on her APSA award-winning dissertation\, which examines the elevated rate of self-immolation among young women in Afghanistan\, Iran\, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Grounded in historical research and interviews with survivors and their caretakers and communities\, it sheds light on the multidimensional operation of police power enacted on women’s bodies and the unconventional political agency they exercise under and against that police power. \nDownload flyer

SUMMARY:Modernist Poetics and Queer Fruit
DESCRIPTION:A Clark Faculty Series Event\nPresented by\nElizabeth Blake\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of English\nClark University \nForbidden fruit has long been a convenient metaphor for illicit knowledge and sexuality\, a trope easily traced to the garden of Eden. Modernist poets deployed this familiar figure in new ways\, insisting on the fleshy materiality of fruit as a way of representing other forms of fleshly pleasure. In her recent book\, Edible Arrangements: Modernism’s Queer Forms\, Clark University professor Elizabeth Blake examines this phenomenon as part of a larger exploration of the ways queer consumption restructures modernist literary forms. In this talk\, Blake focuses on T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and H. D.’s “Priapus” to discuss the way modernist poets disrupt lyric traditions by setting intertextuality and phenomenological referentiality in tension in order to explore queer experience. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 1:15pm for refreshments. \nThis event is sponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Department of English at Clark University. \n\nAbout the Speaker \nProfessor Elizabeth Blake specializes in gender and sexuality studies\, food studies\, and global modernist literature. Her research focuses on the ways queer pleasure is represented in the literature of the early twentieth century\, and how those representations come to reshape existing literary forms. Her first book\, Edible Arrangements: Modernism’s Queer Forms\, demonstrates that scenes of eating in modernist literature are sites of queerness\, depicting and enacting a kind of pleasure that exceeds normative models. She is also interested in the relationship between modernism and popular forms of cultural production\, including cookbooks\, dinner theatre\, genre fiction\, and women’s middlebrow fiction. Her second book project\, tentatively entitled Against the Love Plot\, traces the ways mid-twentieth century women’s fiction resists both normative models of love and normative plotlines that end in marriage. \nAbout the Book \nIn Edible Arrangements: Modernism’s Queer Forms\, Elizabeth Blake explores the way modernist writing about eating delves into larger questions about bodily and literary pleasure. Drawing on insights from the field of food studies\, she makes dual interventions into queer theory and modernist studies: first\, locating an embrace of queerness within modernist depictions of the pleasure of eating\, and second\, showing how this queer consumption shapes modernist notions of literary form\, expanding and reshaping conventional genres. Drawing from a promiscuous archive that cuts across boundaries of geography and canonicity\, Blake demonstrates how modernist authors draw on this consuming queerness to restructure a range of literary forms. Each chapter constellates a set of seemingly disparate writers working in related modes—such as the satirical writings of Richard Bruce Nugent\, Virginia Woolf\, and Katherine Mansfield—in order to demonstrate how writing about eating can both unsettle the norms of bodily pleasure and those of genre itself.

SUMMARY:The Power of Mapmaking in 17th-Century New England
DESCRIPTION:A map made by the Pequot Sachem Robin Cassacinamon during negotiations with the English colonist George Denison in 1662. It delineates Pequot Territory along the Connecticut Coastline\, land also claimed by the English. Courtesy of Massachusetts State Archives. \n  \nFor the English and Algonquian inhabitants of 17th-century New England\, paper maps were a rare and powerful tool. Mapmakers created them to establish borders\, facilitate cross-cultural communication\, and record spatial information. But maps were also used to misinform\, steal land\, and erase Indigenous cultural presence. In this talk\, Nathan Braccio\, Assistant Professor of History at Clark University\, will explore how both Algonquian-speaking communities and English colonists made maps as tools in a struggle for cultural and physical control of the Northeast. In doing so\, he will investigate how maps\, including those that we interact with in the present day\, promote particular value-laden ways of understanding the world. \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. \nWith thanks to the Department of History at Clark University for its support. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. \nAlso streamed live – register now: https://bit.ly/rootsmapmaking \n\nAbout the Speaker \nNathan Braccio is a historian of early modern New England. His research focuses on Indigenous and environmental history. Prior to coming to Clark\, he taught at Lesley University and was a postdoctoral fellow at Utah State University. His current book project\, Creating New England\, Defending the Northeast: Contested Algonquian and English Spatial Worlds\, 1500–1700\, investigates the different ways Algonquian-speaking peoples and Puritan colonists marked\, described\, and mapped the landscape. Braccio’s next project explores the culture of agrarian violence in colonial America. He earned his doctorate from the University of Connecticut and his master’s and bachelor’s degrees from American University.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Abbie Tingstad
DESCRIPTION:Many Arctics: What Does it Look Like and Why Is it Important for the Future of Governance in the Far North?\n\nThe Arctic is transforming in dramatic and complex ways through a myriad of pressures related to changes in climate\, social trends and demographic patterns\, economic opportunities\, geopolitics\, and technology. Although many discussions surrounding the Arctic’s future rightly focus on climate change\, the concept of “many Arctics” – or the inherent diversity within the Arctic region – reminds us that multiple factors and drivers of change shape different areas in the north in different ways. This diversity is something to be celebrated in cultural and other contexts\, but it can also create challenges for local communities and policymakers alike in navigating intense changes and resolving the many visions of the region’s future that exist among rights- and stake-holders. \nThis lecture will focus on aspects of ongoing research titled “Converging Pressures on Arctic Development” that is funded by the National Science Foundation’s Navigating the New Arctic program. It will highlight geographical and geospatial research focused on characterizing the current and potential future human footprints in the region as a basis for exploring alternative scenarios for how today’s many Arctics might look by 2050. It will also present the results of a recently published paper examining diverging scenarios of socio-economic change. Despite the fact that the Arctic has been highlighted as an important area of dialogue and cooperation for decades\, this research suggests that finding common priorities – despite being more important than ever – may become even more difficult in the future.

SUMMARY:Governing China's Global Diaspora: Consent & Coercion
DESCRIPTION:Diana Fu \nHow does global China as a power project manifest itself in governing the diaspora abroad? How and why has China’s use of coercive power abroad—in particular\, transnational repression—increased under Xi? How has the party-state wielded coercive power alongside a wider toolkit of control against diaspora populations outside of its borders? And what makes China’s playbook of control distinctive compared to other authoritarian and illiberal states? This talk will present a comparative analysis of what\, if anything\, distinguishes the Chinese party-state’s governance of its global diaspora. \nDiana Fu is associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto and a fellow at Brookings Institution\, the Wilson Center\, and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. Her research examines popular contention\, repression\, civil society\, and authoritarian citizenship in contemporary China.

SUMMARY:A/An: Book Launch and Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:A Clark Faculty Series Event\nPresented by\nMandy Gutmann-Gonzalez\, MFA\nAssociate Professor of Practice in English\nClark University \nIn this book launch\, poet Mandy Gutmann-Gonzalez reads from their chapbook A/An. Using 17th century court records of the Salem Witch Trials as a sounding board\, A/An mines the archives to uncover the power and violence residing within the language of the legal system. Through a series of poems modeled after examinations of particular witches\, Gutmann-Gonzalez acts as a medium for these voices from the past. In A/An\, poetry and archive wrestle\, shattering these legal documents that act as gravestones and spilling the voices caught therein. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45 a.m. for refreshments. \nThis event is sponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Department of English at Clark University. \n\nAbout the Speaker \n \nMandy Gutmann-Gonzalez is a Chilean poet and novelist working at the intersections of text\, image\, archive\, and translation. They are the author of La Pava (Ediciones Inubicalistas) and A/An (End of the Line Press). Their work has been supported by fellowships and residencies from The Bucknell Seminar for Younger Poets\, Lambda Literary\, The Center for Book Arts\, TAKT Residency in Berlin\, The Frost Place\, Studios at MASS MoCA\, the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities\, and MacDowell. They teach creative writing at Clark University. \n  \nAbout the Book \nUsing 17th-century court records of the Salem Witch Trials as a sounding board\, A/An mines the archives to uncover the power and violence residing within the language of the legal system. As state-legislated violence\, witch hunts were constitutive to the colonial order\, reinforcing what was normal and what was aberrant. Rather than regarding the witch hunts as historical curiosity or speculating to fill the gaps\, A/An considers the court examination as poetic form\, a hybrid of legal language and lyric utterance. In these poems\, English becomes foreign to itself\, having distorted through time and slipped through the sieve of law\, through the inevitable erasures of matter and the ideological erasures of the archive: the gaps marked “[illegible due to fold in paper]\,” and the silences that remain unmarked. In a poetics of the “[…]”\, A/An engages with textual gaps as lacunae. In A/An\, poetry and archive wrestle\, shattering these legal documents that act as gravestones and spilling the voices caught therein.
