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.

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.

SUMMARY:“The Bridge is Jammed with Mountain People: Essays on Place in Central Appalachia”
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, April 19 at 11:00 am in the Weisz Room of the Maples (110)\, outgoing MHC Undergraduate Fellow Iris Loehr\, an English major in the Honors College\, will present on her project “The Bridge is Jammed with Mountain People: Essays on Place in Central Appalachia” by Iris Loehr as part of UMaine’s Women in Philosophy conference. By blending creative and academic styles\, Loehr’s project explores human interaction with the region’s geography and geology to develop a narrative of Appalachian identity that runs counter to the ones driven by stigma. In the popular imagination\, Appalachia is a site of poverty\, incest and strife. Online characterizations of Appalachia portray it as a place filled with cannibals\, killers\, and spirits that haunt the woods deep in the mountains. Loehr’s project challenges the stigmas drawn from the region’s systemic poverty and historical isolation by presenting a vision of Appalachian culture that’s vibrant\, nuanced and inherently bound to the mountains from which it emerged. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Video Games Teach History
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 23rd | 1:45pm-2:45pm  \nMeeting Rooms 1&2\, Cross Insurance Center\, 515 Main Street\, Bangor \nThe interactive and immersive quality of video games has helped make them wildly popular and profitable entertainment media.

For example\, history-based video games raise rich questions about “agency\,” the degree to which individuals shape their own future\, in contrast with systematic trends. We will explore with the audience how video games might help us to think differently about the human experience. \nEvent type: Presentation \nPresenters: Chapman Hall\, University of Maine (Undergraduate Student)\, Liam Riordan\, University of Maine\, Robby Finley\, University of Maine Philosophy Department \nModerator: Liam Riordan\, University of Maine \nSponsor: Maine Community College System \nRecommended Audience: middle school and up \nVideo Games Teach History is sponsored by Maine Community College System

SUMMARY:Pre-Performance Lecture: Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo
DESCRIPTION:The McGillicuddy Humanities Center presents a pre-performance lecture by D Granke\, assistant professor in the UMaine School of Performing Arts Division of Theatre\, a director\, fight director\, intimacy director\, and theatre movement specialist. \nLes Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo\, the world’s foremost all-male comic ballet company\,  brings its internationally beloved troupe of dancers to the CCA as part of its landmark 50th anniversary season featuring gems from across the company’s groundbreaking repertoire.  Founded in New York City in 1974\, the company\, affectionately known as the Trocks\, has grown from its roots in late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts to a global touring sensation\, performing from Tokyo to Toronto and everywhere in between.  The company dances en travesti with razor-sharp wit and breathtaking pointe work\, performing polished parodies of works that span the classical ballet canon.  Revered by ballet aficionados as well as by those who don’t know a plié from a jeté\, the Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals.” (Sydney Star Observer). \nD Granke’s pre-performance lecture is free and open to the public. Tickets for Les Ballets Trockadero begin at $27 for adults and $16 for K-12 students\, including all fees.
