SUMMARY:Introducing Disaster Nation: An Ecocritical Study of Puerto Rican Culture
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us as Clark University faculty member María Acosta Cruz (Language\, Literature\, and Culture) discusses her new book\, Disaster Nation: An Ecocritical Study of Puerto Rican Culture. In it\, she examines Puerto Rico’s national culture through a complex web of references to the disasters that the nation has suffered and to how the environment has been portrayed. Sometimes Puerto Rican history\, literature and arts highlight the drama of hurricanes and earthquakes. But often\, the classics read in universities and gazed at in museums depict an Edenic garden of eternal spring. Since cultural depictions of the environment are never innocent and always have socio-political motivations\, Acosta Cruz’s ecocritical project explores Puerto Rico through its unique convergences of calamities: cyclonic location and ecological instability\, as well as continuous colonialism. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 1:15pm for refreshments. \nSponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Department of Language\, Literature\, and Culture at Clark University \nAbout the Speaker \nBorn and raised in Cabo Rojo\, Puerto Rico\, María Acosta Cruz received her degrees in Comparative Literature from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and the State University of New York at Binghamton. She is a Full Professor of Spanish at Clark University. She explores language and culture issues concerning ecocriticism\, nationhood\, gender constructions\, and Caribbean political and cultural history. Among her published works is Dream Nation: Puerto Rican Culture & the Fictions of Independence and the upcoming book Disaster Nation: An Ecocritical Study of Puerto Rican Culture.

SUMMARY:Tracking Africa’s Agricultural Dynamics from Space
DESCRIPTION:Agriculture in many African countries is undergoing rapid change to meet steadily growing food demand. This change includes both expansion and transformation in the scale and intensity of farming. Understanding the nature and extent of these changes requires a spaceborne perspective\, which poses several technical challenges related to the small size and dynamism within the region’s smallholder-dominated croplands. This talk will present an approach designed to overcome these technical challenges\, which combines high-resolution commercial satellite imagery with deep learning and human intelligence to map and analyze the changes in individual crop field boundaries. Results will be demonstrated for Zambia\, which is representative of the agricultural change occurring across much of the continent. \n\n\n\nLyndon Estes\, associate professor of geography\, applies Earth observation technologies and a range of modeling techniques\, including artificial intelligence\, to investigate the drivers and impacts of agricultural change\, with a particular focus on Africa.

SUMMARY:The Last of the Nightingales: Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy of Colorfool Films \n  \nDiscussion facilitated by Clark University faculty Stephen DiRado\, Matt Malsky\, and Max Ritts \nIn the late 1960s\, Bernie Krause was a prolific composer and foley artist who pioneered synthesizers and worked with industry giants such as Francis Ford Coppola\, The Doors\, and The Rolling Stones. But after one chance encounter with the sounds of the wilderness\, he chose to change his career path\, setting out to gather wild field recordings to help battle the climate crisis using acoustic information. More than half a century later\, his vast archive of captured soundscapes reflects dire habitat devastation in the world and yields urgent stories about the need for immediate change. \nThe Last of the Nightingales\, directed by Masha Karpoukhina\, invites audiences to experience the rich acoustic beauty of the living world through Bernie’s ears\, exceptionally attuned over decades. More than half of the ecosystems recorded in his immense archive are now completely silent or will never be heard in their original voice again due to the profound effects of climate change on the stability\, biodiversity\, and resilience of virtually all ecosystems on Earth. As more and more soundscapes fall silent\, Bernie reminds us that it’s not too late to begin listening. \nAdmission to the screening is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be offered. \nSponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Environmental Humanities Research Collaborative at Clark University

SUMMARY:Innovative Approaches to Belonging in Urban Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Innovative Approaches to Belonging in Urban Spaces: Reframing the Debate on Integration\, Migration\, and Inclusion from a Multidisciplinary Perspective\n\n\n\nRegistration required: bit.ly/iasfm20-webinar \n\n\n\nDiscussants: \n\n\n\n\nAnita Fábos\, Professor\, Department of Sustainability and Social Justice\, and co-Convenor of the Integration and Belonging Hub\, Clark University\n\n\n\nLeora Kahn\, Founder and Executive Director of PROOF: Media for Social Justice\, and co-Convenor of the Integration and Belonging Hub at Clark University\n\n\n\nTunggul Puji Lestari\, MA Student\, The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies\, University of Washington\n\n\n\nCraig Mortley\, Ph.D. Student and Graduate Assistant\, School of Social Work\, University of Connecticut\n\n\n\nAdam Saltsman\, Associate Professor\, Department of Urban Studies\, Worcester State University\n\n\n\nAkino Tahir\, Senior Fellow\, Urban Refugee Research Group\, Resilience Development Initiative\n\n\n\n\nThis panel discussion brings together scholars and practitioners who explore belonging\, migration\, and displacement in urban settings through a multidisciplinary lens. The original panel was planned to be presented at the IASFM20 conference in Indonesia\, however not all panelists were able to make it\, so this virtual event provides an opportunity for all panel members to join and share their insights on how urban spaces can better include and empower displaced populations.  \n\n\n\nThe discussion will highlight diverse initiatives—spanning academic research\, media\, cultural studies\, and artistic expression—that center the voices of those with lived experiences of displacement and mobility. Panelists will critically examine how these approaches have challenged dominant narratives of migration and belonging and assess their impact on shaping more inclusive urban environments. \n\n\n\nThe aim of this interactive dialogue is to identify common challenges across these efforts and showcase innovative strategies that amplify marginalized perspectives in decision-making processes\, reshape urban discourses\, and foster empathy for the diverse experiences of displaced individuals. Following the pre-recorded panel discussion\, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a live Q&A session with the panelists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors: International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM); Resilience Development Initiative – Urban Refugee Research Group (RDI | UREF); Department of Anthropology\, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM); The Integration and Belonging Hub (IBH) at Clark University \n\n\n\nLearn more about the IASFM20 Conference here: https://iasfm.org/iasfm2025/  \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Geller Jazz Series: ‘Art of the Quartet’
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. \n\n\n\nThe Geller Jazz Series at Clark University is proud to present an extraordinary night of jazz featuring a powerhouse ensemble of Nicholas Payton(trumpet)\, Benito Gonzalez (piano)\, Buster Williams (bass)\, and Lenny White (drums). This one-night-only performance\, the final concert of the series\, will showcase the immense talents of these jazz luminaries at the intersection of tradition and innovation. \n\n\n\nThe evening will also feature a special opening set by jazz vocalist Ekep Nkwelle and her quartet. \n\n\n\nThe Art of the Quartet is a unique gathering of four influential and visionary jazz musicians. Each member has contributed to the landscape of modern jazz with decades of groundbreaking work and collaborations with jazz legends across genres. \n\n\n\n\nNicholas Payton\, a Grammy Award-winning trumpeter and composer\, is known for his bold musical vision that blends the history of jazz with contemporary sounds. With a distinctive approach to trumpet playing\, Payton has created a sound that challenges and transcends traditional boundaries.\n\n\n\nBenito Gonzalez\, an acclaimed Venezuelan pianist who combines a long lineage of American jazz traditions with rhythms from around the world. He’s worked with dozens of the greats\, and is known for the Afro-Latin patterns and his rhythmic drive. Intricate solos are a cornerstone of his ensembles.\n\n\n\nBuster Williams\, a living legend in jazz bass\, has spent over five decades performing with luminaries such as Miles Davis\, Herbie Hancock\, McCoy Tyner\, Sonny Rollins\, and Wayne Shorter — to name just a few. His ability to meld intricate harmonies with deep groove has made him one of the most respected bassists in jazz history.\n\n\n\nLenny White\, a visionary drummer\, was a key figure in jazz fusion with the iconic band Return to Forever. His work in both straight-ahead jazz and fusion has set a new standard for jazz drumming with its intensity\, precision\, and creativity.\n\n\n\n\nThese four will take the stage for an evening that promises to explore the full spectrum of jazz expression\, from intense improvisation to rich\, melodic interplay. It’s a unique opportunity to hear these virtuosos push the boundaries of the genre and redefine what jazz can be. \n\n\n\nOpening the evening will be the Ekep Nkwelle Quartet\, a rising star in the jazz scene. Ekep Nkwelle\, a 25-year-old Cameroonian-American jazz vocalist\, has carved her musical path from the vibrant streets of Washington\, DC\, to the heart of New York City’s jazz scene. Her journey through the esteemed Duke Ellington School of the Arts\, Howard University\, and The Juilliard School has been extraordinary. The power of her voice has resonated with jazz luminaries such as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, Russell Malone\, Cyrus Chestnut\, and Peter Washington\, along with young stars like Emmet Cohen and Endea Owens\, leading to countless collaborations. Her performances have graced iconic\, internationally renowned venues from the illustrious Radio City Music Hall\, where she shared the stage with classical virtuoso Lang Lang in collaboration with Disney.
