Join the Integration and Belonging Hub for the second session of our new webinar series\, Scholars in Exile – Rethinking Academic Humanitarianism. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Integration and Belonging Hub at Clark University \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nDr. Alfred Babo: Professor of Anthropology and International Studies at Fairfield University\, and Board Member at Scholars-at-Risk.\n\n\n\nBurcu Yasemin Seyben: Award-winning Playwright and Theatre and General Education Scholar\, College of Southern Idaho.\n\n\n\nDr. Mohammed Muharram: Visiting Postdoctoral Researcher of Postcolonial Studies\, University of Bremen\, Germany.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the series: Scholars in Exile – Rethinking Academic Humanitarianism. \n\n\n\nThis three-part series explores how transnational knowledge production and academic identity intersect with inclusion and exclusion. Moving beyond labels\, we examine how exiled intellectuals navigate the Global North and redefine what it means to be both a “refugee” and a high-level academic. \n\n\n\nEach session brings together displaced scholars and transnational researchers to share insights on navigating host institutions\, maintaining professional agency\, and overcoming the unique stresses of displacement.

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.

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 URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/cusb-faculty-research-seminar/ LOCATION:Carlson 203 CATEGORIES:Academic,Campus/Community,Science/Technology ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.clarku.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2026/03/Copy-of-Digital-Board_Faculty-Presentation-5.avif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260204T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260204T130000 DTSTAMP:20260417T010109 CREATED:20260121T174030Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260121T195200Z UID:10002259-1770206400-1770210000@www.clarku.edu SUMMARY:Faculty and Staff Webinar: Civil Discourse in Higher Education DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, for faculty and staff only\, will feature campus leaders and practitioners discussing strategies for fostering respectful dialogue\, navigating disagreement\, and strengthening a climate of open\, constructive exchange. \n\n\n\nWebinar presented by the Anti-Defamation League URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/faculty-and-staff-webinar-civil-discourse-in-higher-education/ LOCATION:Virtual Event CATEGORIES:Campus/Community,Diversity/Equity/Inclusion END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260121T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260121T160000 DTSTAMP:20260417T010109 CREATED:20260115T195753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260115T195754Z UID:10002246-1769004000-1769011200@www.clarku.edu SUMMARY:Biology Research Open House DESCRIPTION:The Biology Open House will showcase faculty and student research and offer opportunities to tour labs in the Lasry Center for Bioscience.

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.

The seminar will take place in CH203 and via Zoom. All comments and feedback are welcome. His talk will be offered both in person and online. Please find the presentation topics below.  \n\n\n\nZoom Meeting ID: 923 2657 7294Passcode: 539642 \n\n\n\nTitle: Political Career Concerns and Firm-Level Credit Rationing: Evidence from Chinese Cities \n\n\n\nAbstract: Efficient credit allocation is central to private-sector growth\, yet political incentives often redirect financial resources. Using China’s cadre promotion system\, we show that mayors eligible for promotion expand infrastructure investment through bank-financed debt\, raising local government liabilities by 13% of GDP. This debt expansion crowds out private firms\, reducing their credit access\, investment\, employment\, and productivity. The distortion is weaker for state-owned and infrastructure-related firms\, highlighting unequal access to finance. Our findings reveal how career concerns of local officials translate into financial repression\, offering new evidence on the institutional origins of capital misallocation in developing economies.

He values biodiversity in all forms but has a strong passion for Fungi. His past and current research has primarily focused on systematics and evolution of the genus of “Magic mushrooms” Psilocybe\, which produce psychoactive compounds with high therapeutic potential for the treatment of myriad mental health issues. However\, more broadly\, Alex is interested in exploring the complexity and evolution of fungal secondary metabolites\, which have been utilized by humans throughout history for food\, medicine\, and in reclaiming polluted environments. Embracing the breadth of biological and chemical diversity that Fungi exhibit is paramount to understanding their role in nature\, how they shape the environment around them\, and how they influence the organisms they interact with. \n\n\n\nAnother unexplored realm of mycology is the functional development of morphology\, such as how a mushroom is produced. For his post-doctoral research\, Alex is working in the lab of Dr. David Hibbett and Dr. Javier Tabima\, where he is studying the systematics\, functional genetics\, and population structures of the gilled\, and sometimes secotioid\, polypore mushroom\, Lentinus tigrinus.
