Prohibition Geographies
In 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.
Her 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.

The Belonging Talks: Sandra Grudić, ‘The Messiness of Belonging’
2023-08-09 12:00 - 13:00 UTC
Join us for another installment of the Integration and Belonging Hub Webinar Series.
Sandra Grudić ponders the messiness of belonging, drawing upon her refugee — and non-refugee — experiences.

Sandra 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.

Matt Malsky, Ph.D.
Professor of Music and Director, Higgins School of Humanities
In this first session of the Digital Research in the Arts & Humanities workshop series, we will introduce digital humanities (DH) as both a field of research and a practice through a working definition, project examples, and a hands-on primer to some basic computing skills used in the DH (bring your laptop). We will work together to share the kinds of knowledge, data, methods, and research questions we encounter in our own disciplines, and to cultivate a community of practice and practitioners in the digital humanities. This workshop sets the stage for the future events in the series.
This session does not assume any prior knowledge of digital humanities work and is suitable for all skill levels. Admission is free and open to faculty, staff, and graduate students from the Clark University community and beyond. The workshop is limited to 30 participants and will be conducted in person. Registrants should bring a fully charged computer and a brown bag lunch if desired.

Gallery Talk – Applied Motion Studies: Artists and Scientists Consider Movement

Join 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.

Applied 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.
The 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.
Contributors include:

Alison Chen, Los Angeles and New York based visual artist/ Run into the Other. / Collide.& Mirror the movements of the other. (2012)
Stephen DiRado, Professor of Practice, Clark University / JUMP (2016)
James Maurelle, Assistant Professor, Clark University / Joe (2014), Six Billion Dollar Duddley (2014), Intervention (2015), & Stogie One (2014)

Faculty and students of The Bergmann Evolutionary Functional Morphology Lab at Clark University /Animal Locomotion Studies

The exhibition will be on display from February 27 through May 20, 2024 in the Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons on the Clark University campus.
The 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.

ANTISEMITISM. A Conversation with Susannah Heschel, Lisa Leff and Thomas Kühne

ANTISEMITISM. A Conversation with Susannah Heschel, Lisa Leff and Thomas Kühne
Speakers:Susannah Heschel (Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College),
Lisa Leff (Director of the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies)
Thomas 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)
Antisemitism, 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.

Workshop
Research on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda has contributed to the development of the field of genocide studies but has also inspired controversy and adversarial claims. As with other cases of genocide, questions of denial have shaped the scholarly discourse and influenced what counts as legitimate narratives. The role of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, both within the country and across diaspora groups, as well as the impact of Rwandan foreign policy and practice in neighboring Great Lakes countries, have introduced political considerations that contribute to the debate. Workshop participants ask who is telling Rwanda’s story, and they pose crucial questions about representation in scholarship with interests in Rwanda’s long societal past prior to colonial interventions as well as its future. The panels will discuss the following themes: human and natural social worlds; society and policy after genocide; actors, violence, and survival; and showing and ordering memory.
