SUMMARY:Latin American\, Caribbean\, and U.S. Latinx Studies Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Borges\, Joyce\, and the Not-Quite-First Spanish-Language Review of Ulysses\nJoin UWM’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies Visiting Scholar Dr. Leah Leone Anderson for her talk “Borges\, Joyce\, and the Not-Quite-First Spanish-Language Review of Ulysses\,” part of the Latin American\, Caribbean\, and U.S. Latinx Studies (LACUSL) Speaker Series being held on Feb. 16 from 3-4 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library. \nAbout the talk: Jorge Luis Borges famously claimed himself to be the first hispano to embark upon the odyssey of reading and reviewing James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922). Along with his 1925 review\, he also translated the last two pages of the novel\, Molly Bloom’s sensation-creating\, stream-of-consciousness monologue. Perhaps starstruck by the legendary pairing of two of the twentieth century’s most influential authors\, many scholars have taken his claim as indisputable evidence that Borges single-handedly introduced Joyce to Latin America\, and of the enduring impact of his translation. This talk will reveal that the true story of Joyce’s introduction to Spanish language readers is both more complex and more interesting than the one traditionally told. \nDr. Leah Leone Anderson is a visiting scholar with UWM’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Her book\, Borges’s Creative Infidelities: Translating Joyce\, Woolf and Faulkner (2024) was made possible with the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies’ support. Her current research focuses on the work of Argentine critic\, translator\, and memoirist María Rosa Oliver (1898-1977). \nThe LACUSL Speaker Series is free and open to the public. No registration is required. Email clacs@uwm.edu with questions or to request accessibility accommodations. \nDr. Leah Leone Anderson

SUMMARY:Academic Adventurers Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:A Long\, Strange Trip: Budapest\, Berlin\, Baraboo\, and Points in Between\nJoin University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Professor of Sociology Dr. Jennifer Jordan for her talk “A Long\, Strange Trip: Budapest\, Berlin\, Baraboo\, and Points in Between\,” the latest installment of the Academic Adventurers Lecture Series being held Feb. 11 from 3-4 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library. Jordan will focus on the central role that paper maps have played in charting a path of research over the past thirty-five years of her academic life. These maps helped Jordan find her way in unfamiliar cities\, and also helped her craft in-depth archival research projects resulting in a dissertation\, three books\, and many other publications\, on topics ranging from memory and forgetting in post-1989 Berlin\, to the rise and fall of Wisconsin’s 19th century hop industry. \nUWM’s Academic Adventurers is a continuing series of informal afternoon programs held in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library\, offering members of the UWM community the opportunity to hear of their colleagues’ adventures abroad and afield. \n\nAll programs are free and open to the public. For more information or to arrange for special accommodations\, email agsl@uwm.edu or call 414-229-6282. \nDr. Jennifer Jordan\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Fact\, Fiction\, and Storytelling in the Archive
DESCRIPTION:“Partridge and Frink haven’t been entirely forgotten nor erased like so many others\, but there is still a lack of visibility and understanding about their personal dynamics and professional impact… While doing my research\, I found nearly every component in their papers compelling: more often than not\, a single document prompted an entirely new string of questions…” \n–Faythe Levine\, author of As Ever\, Miriam (2024) \nVisiting author and artist Faythe Levine is motivated by reimagining archives and collections through a queer feminist lens. She will give a visually led talk about her many-year research process\, about her recently published fourth book\, As Ever\, Miriam (2024). This book centers on the relationship and lives of Charlotte Russell Partridge (1882-1975) and Miriam Frink (1892-1978)\, whose papers are housed at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Archives. Through her extensive archival and secondary research involving books\, magazines\, newspapers\, and interviews\, Levine brings readers into the work of connecting archival traces to tell stories about past lives. Frink and Partridge’s impact on Milwaukee’s cultural landscape was unprecedented and remains underrecognized\, and Levine’s lecture will encourage future scholarship and conversations around deeper knowledge of their legacy. \nLevine is currently based in the Hudson Valley in New York. She has been in service to the arts for over twenty years\, many of those during her previous time living in Wisconsin. Her creative labor intersects with curatorial projects\, writing\, documentary film\, and community events. \nDuring the week\, Levine’s day job is the Hauser & Wirth Institute Archivist and Collections Manager for Women’s Studio Workshop\, a residency and artist book publisher that supports women\, trans\, queer\, intersex\, and nonbinary artists. Her position focuses on WSW’s work as a hub for radical thought\, and she manages\, oversees\, and increases public visibility of the archives and special collections through public engagement and exhibitions. \nA related exhibition\, Time is Running Out\, curated by Levine in response to her archival research\, will open at the Lynden Sculpture Garden on November 15\, 2025\, and run through March 14\, 2026. \nBooks can be purchased and signed at the close of the program courtesy of Lion’s Tooth

SUMMARY:2025 Morris Fromkin Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Register for Event \nGabriela Nagy\, UWM assistant professor of psychology\, will present the 2025 Morris Fromkin Memorial Lecture. The title of her talk is “Resilience\, Resistance\, and Rhetoric:  What Latino/a Immigrants Teach Us About Health and Humanity.” \nThis talk challenges the pervasive deficit lens through which Latino/a immigrants are often viewed\, focusing instead on their remarkable resilience and the protective factors that safeguard their mental and physical health despite chronic stressors\, trauma\, and systemic oppression. It offers insights into how Latino/a cultural values and practices can inform healthier\, more resilient ways of living for all people in the United States. \nAbout the speaker: \n \nGabriela Nagy\, Ph.D.\, is an assistant professor of psychology at UWM. She serves as the principal investigator for the EQUITY Research Group. She is a current research fellow with the UWM Center for 21st Century Studies. She is also an associate editor on the Journal of Health Service Psychology editorial board and a board member of NourishMKE Community Food Centers. \nShe has published extensively in her field with recent articles appearing in Psychology Services\, Behaviour Research and Therapy\, JAMA Health Forum\, Journal of Affective Disorders\, and other journals. \nBefore her appointment in 2022 to the UWM Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences\, Nagy served as assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Duke University School of Medicine and assistant clinical professor in the Duke University School of Nursing. She received her PhD in clinical psychology from UWM in 2017. \nDr. Gabriela Nagy’s research focuses on reducing the mental health care inequities experienced by minoritized communities. In this space\, she has worked most extensively with immigrants and refugees from Latin America. Dr. Nagy’s lab is focused on understanding social and structural factors contributing to health inequities; developing and testing psychosocial interventions to support the health of minority communities; and dissemination and implementation of strategies that hold promise for reducing health inequities. She utilizes community-engaged research methods\, mixed-methods\, and human-centered design approaches. \nPlease contact libadmin@uwm.edu for more information and accommodations.

This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry. Another purpose is to disseminate an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of great books education on the UWM campus. It was the assertion of the former Great Books Program that its methodology and philosophical approach toward the study of foreign languages\, mathematics\, history\, and great books offers a challenging\, meaningful\, and useful Liberal Arts education. \nSpecial Collections serves as host for the Roundtable Discussions in support of these educational goals. Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.

SUMMARY:2024 Ettinger Book Artist Series Lecture:  Barbara Ciurej & Lindsay Lochman
DESCRIPTION:Collaborative photographers and books artists Barbara Ciurej & Lindsay Lochman have worked together on photographic projects and photo-based artists books for over 40 years. Ciurej is a Chicago-based photographer and graphic designer. Lochman is a Milwaukee-based photographer and former art lecturer at UWM. Together they create narrative works that engage the edge between the heroic and the commonplace through a confluence of history\, myth\, and popular culture. For them\, collaboration opens the possibility of moving beyond personal stories and into the realm of collective experience\, mirroring the fluid and mutable ways of storytelling traditions. \nBarbara Ciurej and Lindsay Lochman will present and discuss their work\, their collaborative process\, and the choice of the book form as one of their primary mediums. \nThe lecture\, free and open to the public\, is supported by the Ettinger Family Foundation. \nThe lecture will be held on Wednesday\, November 20\, 2024 at 6 p.m. in the fourth floor Conference Center of the Golda Meir Library\, 2311 E. Hartford Ave. \nFor more information or accommodations\, email libspecial@uwm.edu. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

This talk argues for approaching this question by looking to the historical and contemporary legacies of two vital public intellectuals: Rachel Carson (1907–1964) and Jonathan Schell (1943-2014). Credited with inspiring the modern environmental movement and the nuclear-disarmament movement respectively\, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) and Jonathan Schell’s The Fate of the Earth (1982) were both landmark bestsellers of their time and remain exemplars of moral clarity as powerful interventions concerning critical issues of sweeping real-world impact. \nThis project explores the work of these authors as models of research-based interventions which helped to galvanize collective action for bringing about transformative change in the face of pressing global challenges\, despite profound uncertainty about the future. The talk also revisits the far-reaching influence of these authors’ writings as testament to the power of poetic language for overcoming paralysis and creating a renewed sense of urgency in response to ethical questions of intergenerational social justice. \n\nAbout the speaker: \nNan Kim\, Ph.D.\, is Associate Professor of History & Co-Director of Public History at UWM as well as an Affiliated Professor of Anthropology. She serves as Faculty Lead/PI for the Working Group on STS (Science & Technology Studies) at the Center for 21st Century Studies and is Core Faculty in the Graduate Programs in Public History and Museum Studies. Kim is also the Regional Editor for Korea on the Editorial Board for the journal Critical Asian Studies.  \nHer recent publications include “A New Kind of Tinderbox on the Korean Peninsula” in Current History (September 2024) and “South Korea’s Nuclear-Energy Entanglements and the Timescales of Ecological Democracy” in Forces of Nature: New Perspectives on Korean Environments\, edited by David Fedman\, Eleana Kim\, and Albert L. Park\, eds.\, and published by Cornell in 2023. \nKim’s book\, Memory\, Reconciliation\, and Reunions in South Korea: Crossing the Divide\, published by Lexington Books in 2017\, was the winner of the 2019 Scott Bills Memorial Prize from the Peace History Society. \nPlease contact libspecial@uwm.edu for more information and accommodations. \n

Clarke (1917-2008). Clarke is perhaps known to most for co-writing the screenplay for the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as for the novel it was based on\, but his work spans decades and includes science and science fiction writing for which he was awarded the UNESCO Kalinga Prize for popularizing science. Clarke also helped popularize the idea of geostationary satellites for communication to the extent that geostationary orbit is often called the Clarke Orbit. His influence is difficult to overstate\, so please join us to read his stories “Transience\,” “The Sentinel\,” “The Nine Billion Names of God\,” and “The Star” to find out why! \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected texts. \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later).

SUMMARY:UWM's Academic Adventurers Talk -- Pedestrian Safety at Night: Illuminating the Problem and Strategies for Safer Streets
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Robert J. Schneider\, Ph.D.\, Professor and Co-Chair\, Department of Urban Planning\, UWM. \nUS pedestrian fatalities increased by 51% between 2010 and 2020 (4\,302 to 6\,516 fatalities per year)\, and nearly all of the additional pedestrian fatalities that occurred were at night. This trend has continued into the 2020s\, and now more than three-quarters of US pedestrian fatalities are at night. \nThis presentation by Robert Schneider will draw on research conducted by UWM as a part of a National Cooperative Highway Research Program team to understand how the geographic layout and design of our roadway system has evolved over time to contribute to this uniquely American problem. The outcomes of this research look beyond individualistic strategies (such as having pedestrians wear reflective clothing) toward systemic solutions to the problem (such as redesigning streets with fewer lanes and enhanced pedestrian crossings\, improving roadway lighting\, and reducing nighttime speed limits). \nUWM’s Academic Adventurers is a continuing series of informal Friday afternoon programs held in the American Geographical Society Library\, that give members of the UWM community the opportunity to hear of their colleagues’ adventures abroad and afield. \n\nAll programs are free and open to the public. For more information or to arrange for special needs\, call 414-229-6282.

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Anne Frank\nThe Diary of a Young Girl\, 12 June – 22 December 1942\, translated by Susan Massotty\, 1997. (1947) \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected text. \n\nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, February 28. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, February 28\, you will receive an email from him with an automatic password-protected URL. Please use that URL to join the session (you will of course need to use a computer with a microphone and a video camera in it — if you want to be seen\, that is). When you join\, you will be placed in a waiting room that Max will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those he has emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry. Another purpose is to disseminate an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of great books education on the UWM campus. It was the assertion of the former Great Books Program that its methodology and philosophical approach toward the study of foreign languages\, mathematics\, history\, and great books offers a challenging\, meaningful\, and useful Liberal Arts education. \nSpecial Collections serves as host for the Roundtable Discussions in support of these educational goals. Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.
