SUMMARY:Thomas Gao - ADHD and the Lived Experience: A Phenomenological Inquiry of the Mental Disorder
DESCRIPTION:ADHD and the Lived Experience: A Phenomenological Inquiry of the Mental Disorder\na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Thomas Gao\n\nWednesday\, April 15\, 2026\n5:00 PM\nIMRC Center 104\nFernald Adaptive Presentation and Performance Environment\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\n\nThomas Gao is a Psychology major whose project ADHD and the Lived Experience: A Phenomenological Inquiry of the Mental Disorder explores Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) through the perspective of phenomenology to provide a new framework to understanding ADHD beyond its classification in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. For this research\, Gao worked with faculty mentor Susan Bredlau\, Assistant Professor of Philosophy. Gao’s Fellowship is supported by the Sandra Merrill Peters and John G. Peters Humanities Fellowship Fund. \n\nInfo: \nPhenomenology is a philosophical study that focuses on the human experiences and consciousness. It seeks to understand the world as how it appears to the individual\, emphasizing subjective perception over the idea of an “objective reality.” By investigating Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) through a phenomenological perspective\, integrating personal\, historical accounts and academic sources\, this presentation will explore how we can better understand its classification as a neurodevelopmental disorder\, as well as bridge the disconnect between the symptom-first diagnostic approach that we currently employ and the patients’ subjective experiences.\n\n\nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu

SUMMARY:Emma Beauregard - Creating W8banakiak Historical Markers for Bath\, Maine
DESCRIPTION:Creating W8banakiak Historical Markers for Bath\, Maine \na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Emma Beauregard\n\nTuesday\, April 14\, 2026\n5:00 PM\nIMRC Center 104\nFernald Adaptive Presentation and Performance Environment\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\n\nEmma Beauregard is a student in the Honors College and a History and Accounting double major whose project Creating W8banakiak Historical Markers for Bath\, Maine is a public history project involving research and design for the implementation of four new historical markers that focus on the Abenaki in Bath\, Maine. For this research\, Beauregard worked with faculty mentor Tobias Hrynick\, Lecturer in the Honors College. Beauregard’s Fellowship is supported by the Liam Riordan Humanities Fellowship Fund. \n\nInfo: \nAbenaki groups lived in the area we call Bath\, Maine for thousands of years\, and the land and rivers continue to be their homeland. Despite this\, out of the 34 historical markers currently on display around Bath\, only one mentions the Abenaki\, and it is only to explain the context for European colonial settlers. To counter this\, a project began to research and design four new historical markers that focus solely on the Abenaki. Through this public history project\, connections were established with the W8banakiak\, Bath Historical Society\, and Bath City Hall. While this project remains in its early stages\, the ground has been set for new historical markers to be designed in collaboration with the W8banakiak and erected around the city of Bath. This presentation discusses how the goals of this project changed along its course\, and what the process has looked like thus far. It will then dive into what the future of this project looks like\, including the collaboration involved and the steps that will be taken to ensure these new historical markers are installed to create a fuller and more accurate picture of the history of Bath\, Maine.\n\n\nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu

SUMMARY:Eddie Nachamie - Seeking Resilience: Climate Change Futures from McCarthy\, Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Resilience: Climate Change Futures from McCarthy\, Alaska\na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Eddie Nachamie\n\nMonday\, April 13\, 2026\n2:00 PM\nIMRC Center 104\nFernald Adaptive Presentation and Performance Environment\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\n\nEddie Nachamie is an Ecology and Environmental Sciences major and an Honors student whose project Seeking Resilience: Climate Change Futures from McCarthy\, Alaska examines the unique socio-ecological context of McCarthy\, Alaska and the surrounding Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. For this research\, Nachamie worked with faculty mentor Don Beith\, Associate Professor of Philosophy. Nachamie’s Fellowship is supported by the Echoes of Maine Humanities Fellowship Fund. \n\nInfo: \nIn our rapidly changing and warming world\, there are many questions regarding how we will adapt to the realities of climate change. The unique socio-ecological context of McCarthy\, Alaska and the surrounding Wrangell-St. Elias National Park provide a reference point for resilience. This community is geographically isolated and relies on mostly off-grid technology for survival in Alaska’s rugged weather conditions. The area is also experiencing rapid changes in weather patterns and phenology as a result of climate change. Through a series of essays focused on consumption\, sense of place\, climate futures\, and the relationship between people and their local ecologies\, I have documented how this community is responding to climate change and creating resilience. Additionally\, the project includes a photography series documenting the unique cultural and geographical points of interest in McCarthy and its surrounding preserve. Along with the essays and photography series are some sketches and a watercolor painting documenting the local ecology of McCarthy and its unique composition of flora\, fauna\, and geological features. Interspersed in the book are excerpts from interviews with McCarthy locals and teachers at the Wrangell Mountains Center where perspectives on climate resilience in the Copper River Basin are documented. \n\n\nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu

SUMMARY:Helen Walter - St. Thomas More's Utopian Soul
DESCRIPTION:St. Thomas More’s Utopian Soul\na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Helen Walter\n\nTuesday\, April 7\, 2026\n7:00 PM\nNewman Center\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\n\nHelen Walter is a Political Science and History double major whose project St. Thomas More’s Utopian Soul probes Thomas More’s book Utopia and the works it draws on in order to understand More’s answer to the question: how does human desire relate to justice? For this research\, Walter worked with faculty mentor Robert Ballingall\, Associate Professor of Political Science. Walter’s Fellowship is supported by the Liam Riordan Humanities Fellowship Fund. \n\nInfo: \nA four-part lecture which compares the esoteric reading of Plato’s Republic and the Laws to More’s imitation of them\, reading More’s Utopian city as an analogy for the soul and his dialogue in Book I as a discussion of the philosophical political problem. The first section will use textual evidence to justify the claim that Utopia ought to be read esoterically (in the Straussian sense). I will go through the various places in the text where More distances himself from the explicit meaning of the words of both the character of More and the character of Hythloday. In the second section\, I will examine how\, if we read between the lines of Book I\, it becomes clear that More and Hythloday are not just discussing the problem of counsel\, but the deeper question of the Socratic political problem and the limits of pure rationality. The next sections will focus on Book II and will interpret the society of the Utopians as a Platonic city in speech and metaphor for the soul\, arguing that More intends to demonstrate the limitations of a soul like Hythloday’s and the limitations of rational inquiry without Socratic eros or Christian caritas. The lecture will end with an exposition of what this interpretation means for the reader and the history of political philosophy in general.\n\n\nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu

SUMMARY:Marko Marila - Written in Stone: The Material Culture of Deep Time Communication
DESCRIPTION:Written in Stone: The Material Culture of Deep Time Communication\na presentation by Marko Marila\n\nTuesday\, April 7\, 2026\n\n\n3:30 PM\nIMRC Center 104\nFernald Adaptive Presentation and Performance Environment\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\n\nMarko Marila is an Associate Professor of Museology at the University of Jyväskylä and an Adjunct Professor of Heritage Archaeology at the University of Turku in Finland. With a PhD in history and philosophy or archaeology from the University of Helsinki (2020)\, Marila’s research explores themes ranging from archaeological speculation to creative methods in critical heritage studies\, bringing together historical and archaeological perspectives with contemporary art practice. \n\nInfo: \n\nHuman attempts to communicate with the distant future date back millennia. From efforts to preserve the teachings of the Buddha to attempts to convey the risks of high-level nuclear waste – intended to last 100\,000 years – deep-time communication has employed a range of semiotic strategies\, highlighting the difficulty of anticipating the nature of the message’s recipient. All such future communication challenges involve questions concerning both the preservation of the medium and the intelligibility of the message. \nIn this talk\, Marila reflects on historical examples of deep-time communication\, focusing on his research into future communication strategies in anti-nuclear and anti-uranium mining activist art. Drawing on cases from Finland\, Sweden\, and the United States\, Marila demonstrates how efforts to communicate contemporary energy politics and environmental concerns to the distant future have made use of stone and rock. Marila argues that rock was chosen not only for its durability but also for its cosmological significance across millennia. \nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu

SUMMARY:Young Kyun Oh - Between the Movable and the Immovable—Printing Technologies in Early Modern Korea
DESCRIPTION:In premodern East Asia\, woodblock printing was the stable and almost exclusive choice of technology of producing books. It is therefore curious why the court of Chosŏn Korea (1392–1910) continuously cast movable types. Throughout Chosŏn history\, type casting was consistently an important project of the royal court. Metal types were cast thirty-nine times in Chosŏn\, and only six of them were private casting. Fourteen out of twenty-six kings of Chosŏn initiated and carried out type-casting projects\, and a few of them did multiple times. Still\, the main technology of book making in Chosŏn was woodblock printing\, not typography. This talk discusses how typography was used in early-modern Korean book production\, how the two technologies coexisted in Chosŏn\, and why the Chosŏn dynasty showed a particular interest in typography—against the tide of technology. \nYoung Kyun Oh is an Associate Professor of Chinese in the School of International Letters and Cultures at Arizona State University. He works on the cultural connection among East Asian societies\, with particular foci on the language and the book. His ultimate interest lies in how cultures interact to influence each other\, how language\, books\, and other kind of media function as vehicles of cultural transmission and exchange\, and how different geographical regions come to be seen as forming a continuous cultural space. He is the author of “Engraving Virtue: the Print History of a Premodern Moral Primer“ (Brill\, 2013)\, which explores the print history of the “Samgang Haengsil-to“ [Illustrated Guide to the Three Relations]\, one of the most frequently printed\, reprinted\, reedited\, and distributed texts in Choson Korean (1398-1910).

SUMMARY:Heath Kennedy - The Music and Influence of Barbara York
DESCRIPTION:The Music and Influence of Barbara York\na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Heath Kennedy\nTuesday\, December 9\, 2025\n6:00 PM\nMinsky Recital Hall\nUniversity of Maine\nOrono\, ME\n\nHeath Kennedy is a Music major and McGillicuddy Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellow whose presentation The Music and Influence of Barbara York provides an analysis of Barbara York’s music for tuba and euphonium\, and an exploration of her influence in the tuba/ euphonium community. For this research\, Kennedy is working with faculty advisor David Stern\, Adjunct Professor of Low Brass. Kennedy’s MHC Undergraduate Fellowship is supported by The Sandra Merrill Peters and John G. Peters Humanities Scholarship Fund. \n\nInfo:\nBarbara York is one of the most popular composers of tuba and euphonium music in recent memory. It’s increasingly common to find her music programmed in tuba recitals and consistently picked as audience favorites. The goal of my project has been to understand what makes her music unique and so accessible to audiences by analyzing a handful of her works for tuba and euphonium\, as well as interviewing members of the tuba/euphonium community to learn more about her influence and why she was commissioned so frequently. Presented in a lecture recital format\, I’ll be talking about York’s music and influence\, as well as playing examples of her music in chronological order of composition date.\n\nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu

SUMMARY:Ellis Sinclair - Through the Rabbit Hole: The Paraworld and How Stories Reproduce Ideology
DESCRIPTION:Through the Rabbit Hole: The Paraworld and How Stories Reproduce Ideology\na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Ellis Sinclair\nTuesday\, December 2\, 2025\n2:00 PM\nLown Room\n228 Memorial Union\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\nEllis Sinclair is an English and Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies double major and McGillicuddy Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellow whose project Through the Rabbit Hole: The Paraworld and How Stories Reproduce Ideology aims to situate three classic children’s stories: Alice in Wonderland\, Peter Pan\, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in both their historical contexts and their contemporary sociological relevance. For this research\, Sinclair will be advised by English Department’s Dr. Hollie Adams. Sinclair’s Fellowship is supported by the Liam Riordan Humanities Fellowship Fund. \n\nInfo: \nThe media we consume shapes who we are as individuals and as societies. Far too often\, the underlying ideologies of these stories remain undiscussed—taken at face value—and dominant\, harmful ideologies proliferate through seemingly innocuous media. Children\, especially vulnerable to this messaging\, find themselves exposed to stories that carry patriarchal\, colonial\, and white supremacist underpinnings that rarely bubble to the surface. In many cases\, our very frustrations with the ways the world is run are packaged and sold back to us through these stories. Coining the term paraworld to describe this concept\, Ellis Sinclair invites you to a conversation about stories\, meaning\, and how even resistance becomes commodified within the confines of empire. \n\n\nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu \n\n

SUMMARY:Jordan Ramos - Athletes of the Rake: A Tribute to the People Who Do the Work of a Shrinking Harvest in the Wild Blueberry Fields of Maine
DESCRIPTION:Athletes of the Rake: A Tribute to the People Who Do the Work of a Shrinking Harvest in the Wild Blueberry Fields of Maine\na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Jordan Ramos\nMonday\, November 24\, 2025\n5:00 PM\nIMRC Center 104\nFernald Adaptive Presentation and Performance Environment\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\nJordan Ramos is a student in the Honors College\, a Studio Art and Environmental Science double major\, and McGillicuddy Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellow whose project\, Athletes of the Rake: A Tribute to the People Who Do the Work of a Shrinking Harvest in the Wild Blueberry Fields of Maine examines the interconnected relationship between the fields and communities practicing the harvest tradition of hand-raking. For this research\, Ramos will be advised by Dr. Lily Calderwood\, UMaine Cooperative Extension Wild Blueberry Specialist and Assistant Professor of Horticulture. Ramos’s MHC Undergraduate Fellowship is supported by the Echoes of Maine Humanities Fund. \n\nInfo: \nJordan Ramos’s body of work illustrates the wild blueberry harvest heritage in Maine\, focusing on the tradition of hand-raking. Her series of watercolor paintings\, paired with perspective quotes\, speaks to her experience traveling across the blueberry fields of the Midcoast and Downeast regions of Maine to meet with the people who come for this special harvest. Through an interdisciplinary lens that combines art\, storytelling\, and ecology\, Jordan’s creative research project aims to highlight the underserved communities who are a part of this heritage practice today: small farmers\, migrant and local rakers\, and the Passamaquoddy and Mi’kmaq tribal people. Her work focuses on labor\, ecological relationships\, and community connections. \nAll are invited to see Jordan’s artwork on display in the IMRC from November 19th to 24th and listen to her talk about her creative project on Monday\, November 24th at 5pm in the IMRC. (Please note that the IMRC will also be hosting other presentations and classes during this time. Planning your visit in advance is encouraged.) \nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu \n\n

SUMMARY:Chantelle Flores - Autonomous Autopsy: Re-presenting Medical Trauma in Documentary Poetics
DESCRIPTION:Autonomous Autopsy: Re-presenting Medical Trauma in Documentary Poetics\na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Chantelle Flores\nWednesday\, November 19\, 2025\n5:00 PM\nIMRC Center 104\nFernald Adaptive Presentation and Performance Environment\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\n\nChantelle Flores is a student in the Honors College\, dual English and Art History major\, and McGillicuddy Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellow whose presentation Autonomous Autopsy: Re-presenting Medical Trauma in Documentary Poetics aims to raise awareness of medical trauma by creatively exploring the tensions between patient and medical field\, between subject and document\, and between the physical body and one’s lived experience. Flores will be working with Dr. Hollie Adams\, Assistant Professor of English. Flores’s MHC Undergraduate Fellowship is supported by the David ’64\, ’67G and Alison ’71 Wiggin Humanities Fellowship. \n\nInfo: \nThe medical document: an objective translation of a lived body and often one of the only physical artifacts left behind from traumatic medical experiences. Flores creatively explores documentary poetics as a means for re-presenting medical trauma and the body through manipulation of these medical documents. With Autonomous Autopsy\, Flores investigates what can be learned through processing and how “invisible” facets of trauma can be visualized as her poetry works in dialogue with personal found documents.\n\n\nAll are invited to see Chantelle’s artwork on display in the IMRC from November 19th to 24th and listen to her talk about her creative project on Wednesday\, November 19th at 5pm in the IMRC.

SUMMARY:Nora Benedict - “An Experiment in Publishing”: McGraw-Hill and the Sale of Technical Books in Latin America
DESCRIPTION:“An Experiment in Publishing”: McGraw-Hill and the Sale of Technical Books in Latin America\na presentation by Nora Benedict\nMonday\, November 3\, 2025\n4 PM\nIMRC Center\, room 104\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME \nIn this talk\, Nora Benedict examines McGraw-Hill’s strategic expansion into the Latin American publishing market during the mid-twentieth century\, focusing on its translation and distribution of technical and scientific books. Framed by U.S. cultural diplomacy efforts following World War II\, including government-sponsored programs such as the Book Translation Program and support from the Department of State and Science Service\, McGraw-Hill leveraged public funds and international goodwill to distribute educational materials throughout Latin America. In an effort to highlight these initiatives\, Benedict traces the firm’s first joint venture with Argentina’s Arbó Editores as a pioneering model of collaborative transnational publishing. Benedict also considers the role of Walter Bara\, McGraw-Hill’s foreign rights director\, in orchestrating this endeavor and expanding the firm’s reach across the region. Ultimately\, Benedict reveals how McGraw-Hill’s “experiment in publishing” not only responded to regional demand for technical knowledge\, but also illustrates the intersection of private enterprise\, public diplomacy\, and knowledge exchange during the Cold War. \nNora Benedict is Associate Professor of Spanish at the University of Georgia. Benedict is the author of Borges and the Literary Marketplace (Yale University Press\, 2021) and co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of Jorge Luis Borges. \nThis event is part of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center 2025-2026 Annual Symposium Hard Copy: The Material Culture of Reading and Writing.\nFor more information\, contact mhc@maine.edu.

SUMMARY:Kyra Pederson - Emptiness and Epitaph: The Phenomenology of Grief Objects
DESCRIPTION:Emptiness and Epitaph: The Phenomenology of Grief Objects\na presentation by MHC Undergraduate Fellow Kyra PedersonMonday\, October 27\, 2025\n5 PM\nHill Auditorium\, 165 Barrows Hall\nUniversity of Maine\, Orono\, ME\n[and via Zoom]Kyra Pederson is a Philosophy major and McGillicuddy Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellow whose presentation Emptiness and Epitaph: The Phenomenology of Grief Objects asks what fills the space that loss creates\, and why must that space be necessarily occupied? Pederson is advised by Professor of Philosophy Jessica Miller. \nPederson writes:\n“Think of an object that reminds you of someone in your life who has died\, and how this object pulls you to them. Opening a door to a different time and place in your life\, while still being able to remain partially grounded in the present. I am interested in how we travel via memory in such an experience\, in how much we are truly looking at them through this form of remembrance; and\, whether they can be said to be looking back at us to any extent. In this project\, I will investigate the character and role of this act of memoriam\, and how much we are reliant on it as beings who necessarily live through and with the death of others. I will work on articulating a unique concept capturing this embodied mode of interpersonal recounting and recollection—namely\, what I will call “the epitaphic look\,” and I will do so using philosophical insights from works such as Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception\, Matthew Ratcliffe’s Grief Worlds: A Study of Emotional Experience\, and Proust’s In Search of Lost Time. I will apply this working understanding of the “epitaphic look” to explore the significance of “grief objects” as shaping pieces of our lives.” \nFor more details\, email mhc@maine.edu

SUMMARY:MHC Fellow Presentation: Rehannah Baksh\, Dogpile\, so what does it mean?
DESCRIPTION:Dogpile: So\, what does it mean?\na choreographic work-in-progress by McGillicuddy Humanities Center Fellow Rehannah Baksh \nSaturday\, April 26\, 2025\, 3:00-4:30 PM\, Dance Studio\, 226 Class of 1944 Hall \nRehannah Baksh is a McGillicuddy Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellow whose project Dogpile: So\, what does it mean? is an exhibition of choreographic work-in-progress\, exploring movement interests and dancer dynamics based on Ranjana Khanna’s essay Indignity. The project explores the intersection of dance and philosophy drawing from a large scope including works by Anne Bogarts Siti company\, Gaga movement vocabulary\, and post-structural\, decolonial\, and literary discourse. In part\, this work attempts to see—when language fails to articulate in experiences through the body\, particularly concerning the process of dehumanization—how the body can try to then speak for itself. There will be a brief spoken introduction outlining the aims of the work-in-progress\, followed by the performance\, and talk back with the ensemble about questions of process and intent while they were performing. Baksh is advised by Rosalie Purvis\, Assistant Professor of Theater and English.

SUMMARY:MHC Fellow Presentation: Neil Rockey\, When Code Meets Combat: AI Ethics and Just War Theory
DESCRIPTION:When Code Meets Combat: AI Ethics and Just War Theory\na research presentation by McGillicuddy Humanities Center Fellow Neil Rockey \nFriday\, April 18\, 2025\, at 3:30 PM\, Hill Auditorium\, 165 Barrows Hall\, University of Maine \n\n\n\nNeil Rockey is a 3rd-year International Affairs (Security Concentration) major McGillicuddy Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellow whose research project When Code Meets Combat: AI Ethics and Just War Theory investigates what happens when algorithms influence life-or-death decisions in wartime. As AI systems are increasingly used in defense\, they challenge centuries-old just war principles in unprecedented ways and raise pressing questions. Who bears responsibility when an AI-assisted strike goes wrong? Can machines truly distinguish between combatants and civilians? Using AI ethics principles and an examination of the just war tradition from Augustine to Autonomous Weapons Systems\, this research attempts to answer these questions and more grounding discussion in existing technologies and near-horizon developments rather than speculating about distant futures to offer a balanced assessment of how the bellum iustum must evolve to address these emerging capabilities. Rockey is advised by Dr. Manuel Wörsdörfer\, Assistant Professor of Management and Computing Ethics.
