SUMMARY:2019 Maine Heritage Lecture by Darren Ranco\, "Protecting Wabanaki Basketmaking Traditions Threatened by an Invasive Pest"
DESCRIPTION:Darren Ranco\, Chair of Native American Programs and Associate Professor of Anthropology\, will be giving this year’s Maine Heritage Lecture on “Protecting Wabanaki Basketmaking Traditions Threatened by an Invasive Pest: Addressing “Wicked Problems” Through Collaborative Research.” \nWabanaki (Micmac\, Maliseet\, Passamaquoddy\, and Penobscot) tribal basketmaking traditions use brown ash trees as their primary source material. This resource is threatened by the Emerald Ash Borer\, an invasive pest from China first found in North American near Detroit in 2002\, which has spread to over 35 states and provinces and killed millions of ash trees. It was discovered in Maine in 2018 for the first time. In this talk\, Dr. Darren Ranco will discuss his nine-year research project to work with tribal basketmakers and other key stakeholders to prepare for the arrival of this pest in Maine. He will discuss how his team used both sustainability science and indigenous research methods to do research that was inclusive\, relevant\, impactful\, and culturally appropriate for the research partners. He will emphasize the ways that Wabanaki basketmakers and indigenous researchers use indigenous forms of diplomacy to assert sovereignty and influence state and federal resource to this invasive pest. \nThe lecture will be held Friday\, October 25\, from 4:00-5:00 pm in Bodwell Lounge\, Collins Center for the Arts. Prior to the lecture\, from 3:00-4:00 pm there will be a reception in the CCA’s Hudson Museum. Both events are free and open to the public. Sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. \nThe Maine Heritage Lecture showcases research and creative work about the state of Maine\, with particular emphasis on Maine’s sense of place\, history\, diverse cultures\, society\, and policy.

SUMMARY:McGillicuddy Humanities Center Film Series : Before Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Greg Quill’s review of Before Tomorrow from The Star: \n“A disturbing and powerful metaphor for the doom visited on the Inuit after their insulated world was penetrated by Europeans in the mid-1800s\, Before Tomorrow\, co-directed by native filmmakers and writers Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Madeline Ivalu\, imagines a moment in which these once hardy people\, ill-equipped to survive in the new order\, face the awful inevitability of extinction.” \n  \nThe McGillicuddy Humanities Center Film Series will feature a collection of six films throughout the academic year related to “The Cinema of Colonization and Decolonization.” The global films in the series\, from France\, Africa\, Canada\, Argentina and the United States\, feature a variety of filming styles\, including documentary\, ethnographic\, and outsider films alongside studio productions. The film selections examine colonialism\, racism and post-colonial identity\, as well as decolonization of the film industry itself. \nAll films will be shown in the Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall at 6PM on the following Mondays. Spring films and dates announced soon: \n\nOctober 21 – Zama (2017)\, dir. Lucrecia Martel\, 115 minute runtime\nNovember 4 – Carol (2015)\, dir. Todd Haynes\, 118 minute runtime\nNovember 25 (rescheduled from November 18) – Before Tomorrow (2008)\, dir. Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Madeline Ivalu\, 93 minute runtime:\n\n

SUMMARY:DH Pop In: Building Digital Timelines
DESCRIPTION:Building off of the success of the Black Digital History event this spring\, the McGillicuddy Humanities Center will be continuing their DH Pop In series throughout the year to show the potential and accessibility of the digital humanities for research and classroom use. Spearheaded by the MHC’s Humanities Specialist Karen Sieber\, each event will showcase a different tool or digital project\, and teach users how to use similar methods in their own research or creative work\, including mapping\, textual analysis and digital exhibits. \nThe next DH Pop In will be Monday\, August 3\, at 1PM. Sieber will show virtual attendees how to build quick\, easy\, free interactive timelines using the tool TimelineJS. No experience is necessary. Possibly uses include building virtual timelines to help students make sense of jam-packed survey classes\, harnessing the power of timelines to organize graduate school comps notes\, and using timelines to break down big ideas for a general audience. This tool also allows for collaborative remote work for classrooms meeting virtually. \nEmail mhc@maine.edu to get the link to register for the DH Pop In. \nSieber’s own digital humanities work has received national attention in recent years. The site Digital Loray (www.digitalloray.org) received the National Humanities Alliance’s “Humanities For All” award. The map\, timeline and digital archive on the race riots of 1919 that she built (www.visualizingtheredsummer.com) is used in classrooms around the country and has reached hundreds of thousands of users.

SUMMARY:The Art of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Figuring out new and creative ways to communicate the reality of climate change remains one of the great challenges facing policy-makers\, scientists\, and advocates.  This event brings together two artists with expertise in creating powerful images and visuals about climate science with a veteran science writer and editor to discuss how art can communicate directly and emotionally\, and can engage the public\, in ways that move beyond the scientific findings and data. \nJoin the McGillicuddy Humanities Center on Wednesday\, March 10\, 2021\, at 7:30 p.m. to explore this topic further.  Email mhc@maine.edu to join\, or register at: https://tinyurl.com/artofclimate. \nModerator Laura Helmuth\, Ph.D. is Editor-in-Chief of Scientific American. She is a science journalist with more than 20 years of experience covering all fields of health\, science\, technology\, and the environment. Prior to joining Scientific American\, she was the Science and Health Editor for The Washington Post and has held positions at National Geographic\, Slate\, Smithsonian\, and Science. Helmuth was the President of the National Association of Science Writers from 2016 to 2018 and board member from 2012 to 2016. \nPanelist Jill Pelto is a climate scientist and artist based in Westbrook\, Maine. Her work focuses on communicating human-environment connections. By incorporating scientific research and data into watercolor paintings\, she weaves visual narratives that reveal the benefits and costs of human impacts on this planet. She’s conducted field research around the world\, including the mountain glaciers of Washington and the Transantarctic Mountains. She recently created a custom data-art painting for the cover of TIME Magazine in July 2020. Her biography and a gallery of her work can be found at http://www.jillpelto.com/. \nPanelist Deirdre Murphy decodes the interconnected patterns that exist in art and science through the lens of biological patterns and data visualization. Her research has led to artist residencies at Integral Molecular Biotech and Winterthur Museum. Her paintings\, prints and public art have exhibited at the Philadelphia International Airport\, Palm Springs Museum of Art\, Zillman Art Museum\, Biggs Museum of American Art\, New Bedford Art Museum\, and Tacoma Art Museum.

SUMMARY:Maine Heritage Lecture: “Gluskabe in the 21st Century: Newell Lyon’s Stories Still Carry the Penobscot Language”
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 13 | 3:00 p.m.\nBodwell Lounge of the Collins Center for the Arts\nReception to follow in the Hudson Museum \nMaine Heritage Lecture: “Gluskabe in the 21st Century: Newell Lyon’s Stories Still Carry the Penobscot Language” \nWith Penobscot language carrier Carol Dana\, UMaine Professor of English and former McGillicuddy Humanities Center Margo Lukens will tell the story of their theatrical collaboration that resulted in publishing the first bilingual volume of Penobscot stories\, “Still They Remember Me.” The book’s purpose is to invite Penobscot language learning through traditional stories about the culture hero\, Gluskabe. The stories teach readers/listeners about how Gluskabe transformed the land and balanced its forces to create sustainable life for humans; we learn what it means to live well in this place\, which is the foundation of Penobscot morality. Lukens hopes to inspire listeners to work in ways that improve the conditions for justice in Maine’s relationships with Wabanaki people and communities.
