SUMMARY:Exploring/Recording Stories of Survival: Gatumba Survivors Project
DESCRIPTION:Exploring/Recording Stories of Survival: Gatumba Survivors Project\nWith Professor Chris Davey and guest\, Espoir Nindeba\n\nExplore Professor Davey’s Open Digital Project at https://commons.clarku.edu/gatumba/\n\nOn Aug. 13\, 2004\, 166 people were massacred\, and around a hundred were injured\, at a UN refugee camp near Gatumba\, Burundi. Most of the victims were members of the Banyamulenge community — a Congolese Tutsi ethnic group — fleeing outbreaks of violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Banyamulenge refugees were deliberately targeted by the Forces Nationales de Libération (FNL)\, a Hutu supremacist rebel group fighting in Burundi’s civil war. During the massacre\, hundreds of FNL fighters beat drums and sang Christian hymns as they shot\, stabbed\, and burned refugees. The next day\, an FNL spokesman claimed responsibility for the attack.\n\nDespite investigations by the UN and Human Rights Watch confirming the involvement of the FNL and its then-leader Agathon Rwasa\, the justice system stalled for political reasons. Most survivors of Gatumba have resettled from Burundi as refugees in the US\, UK\, Rwanda\, Kenya\, and other countries.\n\nThe purpose of this archive is to preserve witnesses to this massacre and evidence its lifelong impact on survivors\, as well as document the lives of this refugee group.\n\nThis will be a hybrid event. https://clarku.zoom.us/j/98578069306\n\nProfessor Chris Davey is Charles E. Scheidt Visiting Assistant Professor of Genocide Studies and Genocide Prevention\, Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies.\n\nThe Goddard Library Open Project Series is an event series dedicated to highlighting open collections made available through Clark University’s Institutional Repository\, Digital Commons.

SUMMARY:Wallace W. Atwood Lecture: Kendra McSweeney\, The Ohio State University
DESCRIPTION:Kendra McSweeney\, professor of geography and distinguished scholar at The Ohio State University\, will deliver the annual Wallace W. Atwood Lecture. \nProhibition Geographies\nIn the U.S.\, prohibition is often considered a thing of the past\, evoking speakeasies and Al Capone. Yet the prohibition of other plant- and animal-based commodities has not only endured but expanded. This talk explores the geographies that arise from the global prohibitionary regime targeting one such commodity: cocaine. Drawing on a decade of team science spanning the many spaces of law-making and law-enforcement around cocaine—with particular focus on Central America—I lay out the many ways that drug prohibition initiates a cascade of predictable effects that accelerate climate change and have profound social and ecological consequences not only for the places through which cocaine is trafficked but for all the spaces up and down-stream in the cocaine supply chain\, from the Amazon to Massachusetts. \nHer primary interest is in human-environment interactions\, focusing on issues in cultural and political ecology\, conservation and development\, resilience\, demography\, and land use/cover change. Her current projects include tracing the socioecological impacts of drug trafficking through Central America and studying the nature and implications of demographic change among Latin America’s Indigenous populations. \n\n\nLivestream Link

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.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk – Applied Motion Studies: Artists and Scientists Consider Movement
DESCRIPTION:Still from “Jump” (2016)\, courtesy of Stephen DiRado \n\nJoin us for a gallery talk celebrating the opening of Applied Motion Studies: Artists and Scientists Consider Movement\, a video exhibition curated by Matt Malsky\, Director of the Higgins School of Humanities. Special guests will include exhibition contributors and Clark University faculty members  Philip Bergmann\, Stephen DiRado\, and James Maurelle. Admission to the talk is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \n\nApplied Motion Studies: Artists and Scientists Consider Movement is a video exhibition featuring a diverse array of short films that blend the creative visions of artists with the analytical perspectives of scientists. This stellar collection delves into the fascinating world of motion\, exploring the intricacies of human and animal movement in ways imaginative\, inventive\, methodical\, systematic\, and technical. \nThe exhibition considers a myriad of movements\, from the graceful to the dynamic: the fluidity of running\, the poetry of colliding forces\, the mesmerizing mirroring of gestures\, the deliberate crawl of lizards\, the fantastical flight of planes and fireflies\, the rhythmic dance of swimming\, the boundless joy — and anxiety — of jumping\, the thrilling chase\, the explosive pop\, the gradual escalation\, and the playful wink. These are all seen through the lens of artistic expression and scientific observation. \nContributors include: \n\nAlison Chen\, Los Angeles and New York based visual artist/ Run into the Other. / Collide.& Mirror the movements of the other. (2012)\nStephen DiRado\, Professor of Practice\, Clark University / JUMP (2016)\nJames Maurelle\, Assistant Professor\, Clark University / Joe (2014)\, Six Billion Dollar Duddley (2014)\, Intervention (2015)\, & Stogie One (2014)\nOriginal research footage by Frank & Dr. Lillian Gilbreth\, American early advocates of scientific management / Gilbreth Time-and-Motion Study #1 (1924 / 2024\, with soundtrack by Matt Malsky)\nA documentary about American scientist and researcher Harold “Doc” Edgerton\, Professor of Electrical Engineering\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology / Quicker’n a Wink (1940)\nFaculty and students of The Bergmann Evolutionary Functional Morphology Lab at Clark University /Animal Locomotion Studies\n\nThe exhibition will be on display from February 27 through May 20\, 2024 in the Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons on the Clark University campus. \nThe exhibition runs in a loop lasting approximately one hour. Standard hours of admission are Tuesday through Thursday from 9:30am to 3:30pm\, but the schedule may vary due to University holidays and closures. \nPlease contact HigginsSchool@clarku.edu for more information or to arrange a viewing. \nThis exhibition is sponsored by the Higgins School of Humanities as part of the Spring 2024 symposium on Movement.

SUMMARY:ANTISEMITISM. A Conversation with Susannah Heschel\, Lisa Leff and Thomas Kühne
DESCRIPTION:25 March 2024 | 4:15 p.m. | Higgins LoungeDana Commons \nANTISEMITISM. A Conversation with Susannah Heschel\, Lisa Leff and Thomas Kühne \nSpeakers:Susannah Heschel (Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College)\, \nLisa Leff (Director of the Jack\, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies) \nThomas Kühne (Professor of History and the Strassler Chair in the Study of Holocaust History and the Director of the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University) \nAntisemitism\, which has been called the longest hatred\, is on the rise. It often erupts violently—in the United States\, in Europe\, in the Middle East and beyond. The emergence of campus antisemitism is another confounding aspect to it. To better understand this phenomenon and how to address its many manifestations\, three scholars will discuss historical antisemitism\, how the present form relates to other hatreds\, and the efforts that have been made to combat it. \nWatch Recording of Event \nSponsored by the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies \n
