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.

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 11:45am 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.

Designed for direct service providers\, managers\, and others in refugee resettlement\, this webinar will explore and address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities associated with fostering inclusivity for LGBTQ+ individuals in newcomer services contexts. Speakers will discuss vital considerations for both policy and practice aimed at safeguarding and supporting clients\, staff\, volunteers\, and other stakeholders in the LGBTQ+ community. \nRegister

SUMMARY:The Belonging Talks: Sandra Grudić\, ‘The Messiness of Belonging’
DESCRIPTION:Join us for another installment of the Integration and Belonging Hub Webinar Series. \nSandra Grudić ponders the messiness of belonging\, drawing upon her refugee — and non-refugee — experiences.\n\n\n\nSandra Grudić was born in Bosnia and Hercegovina\, where she lived until she was thirteen years old. Due to the ethnic war and genocide in her home country\, Sandra and her family had to flee their hometown in 1993 and became refugees — first in Germany\, then in the United States. Barely a teen when she became a refugee\, Sandra learned German and English quickly and soon entered higher education. She attained her bachelor’s in secondary social science education from the University of South Florida\, and her master’s in comparative political science from the American Public University. Currently\, Sandra is a doctoral candidate at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. Her dissertation is a microstudy of neighborliness and neighborhood violence in Bosanski Novi\, a small border town in northwestern Bosnia\, during the Bosnian conflict\, 1992–1995.
