SUMMARY:Sharrona Pearl Geddes W. Simpson Lecture in the History of Science
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sharrona Pearl joins us from the Annenberg School for Communication of the University of Pennsylvania visit for a series of events (she will also be participating in the Canadians Teaching in the US panel and participate in a series of events with the Honors College and Canadian American Center). Dr. Pearl is an historian of science and medicine and an engaging lecturer (you can get a sense of her lecture style from the link below – a talk she gave at PopTech in Camden in 2014) and she writes regularly for websites like Huffington Post and Kveller – she understands the importance of communicating the academic and scholarly work we do on campus to public audiences\, and she’s excellent at it. \nHer scholarship specializes in the history of physiognomy (the 19th. century science of deducing character by facial characteristics) and she’s a renowned expert on the ethics of facial transplants and the role of the face in communication. Her most recent book is Face/On: Face Transplants and the Ethics of the Other (University of Chicago Press\, 2017) but she writes on wide variety of scholarly topics in myriad disciplines. Her 2010 book\, About Faces: Physiognomy in Nineteenth-Century Britain (Harvard University Press) emerged from her doctoral work at Harvard’s History of Science and Technology Program. \nDr. Pearl’s work speaks to medical ethics\, communication and identity\, history of science\, medicine\, and technology\, and Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies (Dr. Pearl is Core Faculty in Gender\, Sexuality\, and Women’s Studies at University of Pennsylvania in addition to her position in the Annenberg School). \nDr. Pearl at PopTech in Camden in 2014: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo learn more about her\, check out this profile of Dr. Pearl from Penn Current (University of Pennsylvania magazine). \nAbout the lecture series: In 2001\, Simpson’s family established the Geddes W. Simpson Lecture Fund. Simpson was a well-respected faculty member whose 55-year career in the College of Life Sciences and the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station began in 1931. He chaired the entomology department from 1954 until his retirement in 1974. The lecture was established to support a series that highlights speakers who have provided significant insight into the area where science and history intersect. \nPhoto from Pearl’s faculty page at Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts: Steve Evans\, Justin Wolff*
DESCRIPTION:The first event of the series “Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts” will feature three UMaine faculty members and take place on Thursday November 16 from 4-5:30PM in the Allen and Sally Fernald APPE space Stewart Commons\, IMRC. \nParticipants:\nSteve Evans (English): “Late Style: A Feminist Future for a Category of Patriarchal Aesthetics?”\nJustin Wolff (Art History): “Passé: Notes on Connoisseurship & Art History” \nModerator: Frédéric Rondeau \nThere will be coffee and light snacks. \n  \nAbout: The Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts \nA series consisting of two panels by UMaine Humanities professors and two lectures by visiting scholars curated by Fréderic Rondeau \n\n\nSome ideas get old. Some revive after decades of turmoil. Some seem gone forever\, and then come back. The decline and the renaissance of an idea\, a word\, tells us a lot about our society and values. Participants in The Life of Ideas will think about this phenomenon critically by addressing the lifespan of an array of theoretical concepts from humanities disciplines. \n  \nThe second panel (Anne Knowles\, Michael Howard\, Michael Lang) and lectures by prominent scholars Eric Méchoulan (U. of Montreal) and Enzo Traverso (Cornell) will take place in spring 2018 (dates\, times TBA). \nAll events are free and open to the public. \n“Lifespan of Ideas” was created by Frédéric Rondeau and is part of the 2017-2018 year-long symposium Juvenescence / Obsolescence: Humanities Approaches to Aging across the Ages.

SUMMARY:A Book’s Afterlife: Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries\, Academic Advocacy\, and Restorative Justice
DESCRIPTION:The lecture is free and open to the public. \nJAMES M. SMITH is an Associate Professor in the English Department and Irish Studies Program at Boston College. His book\, Ireland’s Magdalen Laundries and the Nation’s Architecture of Containment\, was praised by Colm Tóibín as essential reading “for anyone interested in the fear and cruelty surrounding women’s sexuality in the Ireland of the recent past.” The Magdalen laundries were workhouses in which many Irish women and girls were effectively imprisoned because they were perceived to be a threat to the moral fiber of society. Mandated by the Irish state beginning in the eighteenth century\, they were operated by various orders of the Catholic Church until the last laundry closed in 1996. In 1993\, a public scandal was triggered when the remains of 155 inmates\, buried in unmarked graves on the property\, were exhumed\, cremated\, and buried elsewhere in a mass grave. Smith’s work with archival materials and survivors is\, in Colum McCann’s words\, a “brilliant\, art-driven examination of a story\, or history\, that needs to be told over and over and over again\, lest it be forgotten or allowed to seep into the ambient noise.” \nCreated by Stephen E. King Chair of Literature\, Caroline Bicks.  \n  \nAlso check out a discussion on Magdalene Laundries the previous day (March 6th) at Orono High School:

SUMMARY:History Symposium: Dr. Margaret Pearce
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Margaret Pearce will give a lecture titled “Imagination\, Identity\, and the Cartography of History: Three Maps of Canada.” \n \nDr. Margaret W. Pearce is a former Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Kansas. Pearce was part of the team that recently published a Native place name map “Coming Home to Indigenous Place Names in Canada.” \nAbstract: \n“In this talk\, I introduce cartography as a form of language and demonstrate how I’ve worked with that language to explore and express Canadian history. I present three maps: the route of a North West Company clerk in 1797\, the travels of Samuel de Champlain between 1603 and 1616\, and a map of Indigenous place names. Working with a focus on the relationship between cartographer and reader\, each map engages with the themes of imagination and identity in the search for a design solution. Each map arrives at a different answer to the question\, what is history?” \nPart of the History Symposium and organized by the History Department.

SUMMARY:Friendship as Reflective Environmental Practice
DESCRIPTION:2017-18 Philosophy Department Colloquium Series presents guest lecturer Bryan Bannon\, Associate Professor and Director of Environmental Studies\, Merrimack College. Duvernoy will give a talk titled “Friendship as Reflective Environmental Practice.” This is the second in a series of four talks on Environmental Philosophy. \nAbstract: In this presentation\, Bannon argues for a specific hermeneutic framework for understanding the human relationship to nature\, friendship. Many current discussions of the human-nature relationship focus on the question of anthropocentrism\, taking for granted that nature is a “moral patient.” Following an argument by Val Plumwood\, Bannon\, however\, contends that if nature is understood as an active agency\, we are able to begin conceptualizing what the contours of a friendship with nature would be like. After describing such contours\, Bannon also considers how modeling our relationship on friendship could help to extricate environmentalism from its position as a discourse of sacrifice and situate it as an alternative conception of the good life.

SUMMARY:Becoming Ecological: Towards a Process Metaphysical Subjectivity
DESCRIPTION:2017-18 Philosophy Department Colloquium Series presents guest lecturer Russell Duvernoy\, Instructor of Philosophy at Seattle University. Duvernoy will give a talk titled “Becoming Ecological: Towards a Process Metaphysical Subjectivity.” This is the first in a series of four talks on Environmental Philosophy. \nAbstract: Beginning from present ecological turbulence and dire climate change predictions\, and\nfollowing Pope Francis’s call for “ecological conversion\,” Duvernoy will explore conceptual changes\nnecessary for actualizing such conversions. He argues that viable ecological conversion requires\nfurther investigation into metaphysical questions inherent in thinking ecologically and he will outline\nthree risks that a cogent conception of conversion must avoid. Duvernoy will then draw on the work\nof Guattari\, Stengers\, Deleuze\, and Whitehead to show that a process metaphysically inflected\nconception of subjectivity is a more efficacious framework for ecological conversion\, focusing on\nhow it encourages habits of attention productive of greater awareness of ecological complexity.

SUMMARY:Living a Full\, Ethical and Sustainable Life in the 21st Century*
DESCRIPTION:2018 John M. Rezendes Visiting Scholar in Ethics\nLiving a Full\, Ethical and Sustainable Life in the 21st Century:\nLessons from Psychology\, Ethics and Human-Centered Design \nThe 2018 John M. Rezendes Visiting Scholar in Ethics is Professor Mick Smyer. Smyer\, a national expert on aging\, is a professor of psychology and the former provost at Bucknell University. He also is a senior fellow in social innovation at Babson College. Smyer will be here on April 4th for a busy afternoon of events. \n2pm: Workshop on Aging and Climate Change with Mick Smyer\, location TBD \n4: Reception\, Nutting Hall\, Room 100 \n4:30: Lecture\, Nutting Hall\, Room 100 \nBrief Abstract: \nConsider these key ethical dilemmas that each of us face as we age in the 21st century: \n\nWhat are our ethical duties to successive generations?\nWhat is a “good life”?  What is a sustainable life?  And are they compatible?\nWhat is the “proportional responsibility” of different age groups for climate action? How is the action to be shared among such groups?\nDo older age groups have a larger responsibility to take action since they have benefited more from the actions that have produced climate change?\n\nDrawing on work from psychology\, ethics\, and human-centered design\, Professor Smyer will outline key psychological barriers to fully answering these questions and key strategies to move each of us from anxiety to action to habit in crafting a full\, ethical and sustainable life across generations. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the McGillicuddy Humanities Center.

SUMMARY:Examining the Life of Maine Missionary and Suffragist Elizabeth Upham Yates
DESCRIPTION:Shannon M. Risk\, ’96\, ’09\, Associate Professor of History at Niagara University\, will deliver a lecture entitled: “Examining the Life of Maine Missionary and Suffragist Elizabeth Upham Yates — The Importance of Biography.” \n\n\n“Elizabeth Upham Yates (1857-1942) was a missionary and suffragist\, born and raised in Coastal Maine\, who rose to national prominence as a reformer in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The study of her life poses a number of issues for the historian biographer. Yates left no collection of papers\, and it is common for whatever papers remained from a female reformer’s life to not be saved by archives\, a reflection that women’s history was not “real history.” Is it possible to write a comprehensive biography with few personal documents saved\, and if so\, how? Is it important to memorialize a reformer who comprised the “second tier” — those whose most important work influenced state and local regions\, and whose names were long ago forgotten? A study of Yates’ life allows the biographer to place her ideas and actions within the greater construct of the progressive era and the paradoxes for reformers. It situates her missionary work as part of American empire building\, negotiates what an intense female friendship meant for Yates’ in terms of companionship and support\, and discusses her complicated interactions with immigrants and people of color.” \nPart of the History Symposium and organized by the History Department.
