Friday, January 6, 2017

  • Arlene Diaz is the recipient of a College Arts & Humanities Institute Faculty Fellowship, for her project “Spies and War Correspondents in the Making of the Spanish-Cuban-American War and the American Empire,1892-1908.”
  • The College of Arts and Humanities Institute has awarded Peter Guardino a Research Travel Grant for his travel to Mexico, to work on his project “Race, Honor, and Citizenship in Mexico after Independence.”
  • Alex Lichtenstein's article "Rick Turner and South Africa's 'Sixties'" has just appeared in Working USA: The Journal of Labor and Society. Alex also contributed testimony to the just-released report by the Indiana Advisory Commission to the US Commission on Civil Rights, The School-to-Prison Pipeline in Indiana.
  • Jason McGraw received a College Arts & Humanities Travel Grant to travel to Kingston, Jamaica, for his project “A Social History of the Jamaican Popular Sound.”
  • Marissa Moorman received a CAHI workshop/conference grant for "Victor Gama: SOL(t)O" a solo performance by musician, composer, and instrument builder Victor Gama. Gama is an internationally recognized artist whose work defies conventional boundaries. He is an inventor, a builder, a composer, and a musician. He is from Angola but currently based in Belgium. He has done commissioned works for the Kronos Quartet, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the Gulbenkian Foundation. Gama's work is deeply researched - he studied the history of South African nuclear weapons testing at Stanford's Hoover archives and did ethnographic work in the Amazon - and his instruments are steeped in symbolism - one inspired by birds' nests in Southern Angola, another evokes the footprint of a dinosaur. Gama will perform at the Buskirk Chumley theater in downtown Bloomington.
  • Kaya Sahin is the recipient of a College Arts & Humanities Institute Faculty Fellowship, for his project “A Performative Empire: Ottoman Public Ceremonies, 1520-1566.”
  • The New York Times published a Q&A with Jonathan Schlesinger about his forthcoming book, A World Trimmed with Fur. The interview can be found at: http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/06/world/asia/china-manchu-environment-schlesinger.html?ref=asia
  • Ellen Wu has been chosen as a 2017 Champion of Diversity honoree by the Indiana Minority Business Magazine. Recipients of the Champion of Diversity Awards will be honored at a dinner and reception in Indianapolis on January 13.
