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: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: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:Counternarratives: Repositioning the News
DESCRIPTION:Alexandra Bell\n\n\n\nAlexandra Bell is an interdisciplinary artist who considers the ways media frameworks control how narratives involving Black communities are depicted and in turn disseminated under the aegis of journalistic “objectivity.” She accumulates news records\, mines editorial databases\, and restructures textually and visually produced narratives to control the elasticity of language and image. By physically outlining and revising editorial frameworks\, she attempts to wrestle media depictions from dominant institutions and impart the power of interpretation and definition to the collective public. \n\n\n\nShe is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships including the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award (2018)\, Catchlight Fellowship (2019)\, Soros Equality Fellowship (2019)\, Sarah Arison Artadia Award (2020)\, and a Radcliffe Fellowship at Harvard University (2022). \n\n\n\nShe received her B.A. in Humanities from University of Chicago and an M.S. from Columbia University’s School of Journalism.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Jenny Goldstein
DESCRIPTION:Starting with solutions: A Global Political Ecology of Algae Innovation\n \nNature–society scholars have taken on the green energy transition — but what about green materials? Despite the fossil fuel extraction and high emissions profiles associated with cement\, fertilizers\, and plastics\, there is little critical research on possible alternatives or on how a transition to a green materials future might take shape. Seaweed\, however\, is increasingly touted by scientists\, policymakers\, and investors for its potential as a climate-responsive replacement for fossil fuels in industrial applications such as plastics\, fertilizers\, fuels\, and animal feed.  \nThis talk presents preliminary research from the North Atlantic and Southeast Asia on the political–ecological dimensions of technological innovation in the global seaweed industry. Dr. Goldstein first outlines the current barriers to and consequences of scaling up seaweed cultivation for a low-carbon future. She then argues that the bio-technical innovation of turning seaweed into a climate-responsive technology is a crucial locus of power through which to understand how the green materials transition may reproduce\, or reconfigure\, global development dynamics. \nJenny Goldstein is an assistant professor of global development at Cornell University\, an Atkinson Center for Sustainability faculty fellow\, and a core faculty member of Cornell’s Southeast Asian Studies Program. Jenny\, who is also the Director of Cornell’s Center for Social Sciences Qualitative and Interpretive Research Institute (QuIRI)\, is a political ecologist and human geographer who studies how data infrastructures\, digital technologies\, and artificial intelligence mediate nature-society relations. Her current research investigates the role of seaweed in shaping the future of green industrial materials within the global bioeconomy. \n

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:Wallace W. Atwood Lecture: Mercedes Bustamante\, University of Brasilia
DESCRIPTION:Mercedes Bustamante\, ecologist and professor at the University of Brasilia\, Brazil\,  will deliver the annual Wallace W. Atwood Lecture. \nBeyond forests: non-forested ecosystems and global change\n \nNon-forested ecosystems dominate more than a quarter of the world’s land area. They are widespread in the tropics\, making up grasslands and savannas\, presenting significant carbon stocks and biodiversity. While important initiatives are concerned with the conservation of forest ecosystems\, non-forest ecosystems (NFE)\, in contrast\, have not received equal attention. The Brazilian Cerrado\, the second largest biome in South America and a global hotspot for biodiversity conservation due to its biological richness and rapid loss of habitats\, represents some of the most fundamental challenges of current global crises. Despite the successful reversal of deforestation trends in the Amazon\, Cerrado deforestation continues to increase\, imperiling a biome that has already lost more than 50% of its original cover. Environmental changes may exacerbate land-use competition due to complex feedback processes between human and biophysical components in the land system\, with more severe impacts seen in the tropics due to their more significant land-based mitigation potential. Such complexity highlights how careful spatial planning\, robust scientific evidence\, and a better understanding of the political context are essential for sustainable climate policies. The achievement of the Paris Agreement requires more robust and more ambitious climate action with emphasis on the integrity of all ecosystems and the protection of biodiversity\, as climate change\, biodiversity\, and ecosystems are inextricably linked. \nMercedes Bustamante

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:Collective Re-Worlding through Feminine and Indigenous Power: A Path to Thriving Biodiverse Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, we explore the transformative journey of an indigenous community in the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador as they shift from an extractivist way of life to becoming restorers of their ecosystems. It follows the stories of key women leaders-Inés\, Rosa\, Meche\, and Mayra-who have reimagined their roles within their community\, leading to healthier lands\, empowered families\, and culturally responsive education systems. \nThe presentation explores some of the principal challenges that Indigenous communities face\, typically trapping them in a cycle of poverty and environmental degradation. It also shares how Fundación Pachaysana\, acting as a bridge\, facilitates a process of dialogue and unlearning\, which empowers these women and their communities to use their ancestral knowledge to restore their forests and build a new future. The talk concludes with a call to action\, inviting the audience to join a movement of collective re-worlding\, where their support can help expand this successful model to more communities\, ensuring a thriving\, biodiverse future for all. \nAbout María José “Chochi” Iturralde \nMaría José Iturralde\, known as Chochi\, is an Ecuadorian educator and social entrepreneur who\, for the past eight years\, has focused her efforts on socio-environmental restoration with indigenous communities in Ecuador. Co-creating and leading the Humans for Abundance program\, launched in 2019\, Chochi has pioneered initiatives that restore key ecosystems\, facilitate the unlearning of unjust systems\, and re-story Indigenous identities. Her work primarily centers on supporting women and girls in healing emotionally\, becoming leaders\, and driving positive change within their communities. Her work has been featured by the BBC and other international media\, highlighting her commitment to collective re-worlding and the integration of indigenous wisdom into global sustainability efforts.
