On Basic Income: Conference at the Institute for Futures\u00a0<\/b>Studies, Stockholm, Sweden<\/b><\/p>\n

You may have heard talk of whether the idea of a \u201cuniversal basic income\u201d for all citizens could promote freedom and democratic values on shows like NPR\u2019s Marketplace and elsewhere. It\u2019s a hot topic. Well, the national coordinator for the US Basic Income Guarantee Network and co-editor of the international journal, <\/span>Basic<\/span><\/i> Income Studies<\/span><\/i>just happens to be UMaine Philosophy professor<\/span> Michael Howard. With support from UMHC (and others) he\u2019ll be\u00a0<\/span>heading to Sweden this March to participate in a symposium on the Harvard UP book <\/span>Basic<\/span><\/i> Income: A Radical Proposal for a Free Society and a Sane Economy <\/span><\/i>by Van Parijs and Vanderborght.<\/span> But he won\u2019t stop there, after the conference, he\u2019ll make stops in Berlin, Barcelona, London, Oxford, York, and East Anglia. Our local expert is in high demand!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lipstick Project, Leigh Boyle<\/b><\/p>\n

Leigh Boyle, whom Killinger is working to bring to UMaine and local high schools, is founder of an organization that goes to the heart of the humanistic endeavor. The Lipstick Project (named for the story of a crate of lipstick that mysteriously appeared during the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp) provides free, professional spa\u00a0<\/span>treatments to people in hospice and hospitals, bringing beauty and dignity to them during the last days of their lives. This \u201ccollective assault\u201d on institutional isolation is an exemplary model of feminist, community engagement rooted in the belief that human touch is a powerful, binding societal force that is essential to the human experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cultivating Curiosity About Phage: Visualizing\u00a0<\/b>the Most Abundant Invisible Entity<\/b><\/p>\n

In this fascinating project, exemplary for its interdisciplinary nature, artist Mauery and scientist Molloy will collaborate to create a series of glass and fiber artworks that\u00a0<\/span>represent <\/span>bacteriophage<\/span><\/i>\u2014abundant and diverse viruses that infect bacteria. Through these\u00a0<\/span>visually appealing and inspiring works non-specialists will be invited to think about the significance of phage\u2019s existence and of these viruses\u2019 impact on our health and on the world we live in. Mauery and Molloy\u2019s project, which will culminate in a Lord Hall exhibit in 2018, promises to challenge our preconceptions about both art and science.<\/span><\/p>\n

A local expert on the German \u201cHessians\u201d (auxiliary German soldiers in the service of the British military, many of whom fought in our Revolutionary War) Rodrigues, in collaboration with a slew of local partners, is coordinating a weekend of events, enactments, and lectures at Fort George in Castine\u00a0<\/span>(September 9-10, 2017). The focus will be on British and German troops, as well as Loyalists. There will be music of the period and presentations of what life was like from 1779-1783. Who knew that the pristine coastal town of Castine was once a hotbed of Crown troops protecting Loyalists who believed that the Penobscot River would be the border between the brand new United States of America and \u201cBritish North America\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

Signs Preceding a New Fiction: The Contemporary Mexican\u00a0<\/b>Novel after Bola\u00f1o and Piglia<\/b><\/p>\n

How do English-speaking Americans read and understand the contemporary Mexican novel? Generally, we\u2019re mad for \u201cinternational fiction\u201d in translation and indeed, the novel is one of the best vehicles for delivering the news of other cultures in a way that is, as UMaine students love to say, \u201crelatable.\u201d Continuing his research towards a book on contemporary Latin American literature, Villacorta has identified four twenty-first-century Mexican authors\u2014whose work has been translated into English and published in the US\u2014that are changing the landscape of Mexican fiction. Emphasizing the importance of\u00a0<\/span>these works as \u201cunique fiction-machines,\u201d Villacorta proposes to show how these writers are challenging assumptions about the Latin American novel. Watch out \u201cmagical realism\u201d!<\/span><\/p>\n

Promoting Community Engagement in Clamming through Interactive Media Production<\/b><\/p>\n

This project is a wonderful example of applied humanities and public engagement. Working with shellfish committees in Gouldsboro, Bar Harbor, and the 7-town Frenchman Bay Regional Shellfish Program, this cross-generational team recognized the urgent need to connect sustainability science with humanities scholarship in a quest to advance creative, critical, and ethical solutions to a host of social and environmental challenges facing Maine\u2019s coastal communities. McGreavy, Quiring, and Hathaway began this project in 2014 by designing an ingenious Clam Cam (a camera attached to the body of shellfishermen) to create a first-of-its-kind digital archive of the mysterious clamming experience. Determined to put this data to use, they now propose, through community workshops and dialogue, to create a \u201cstakeholder engagement process\u201d which will allow them to get feedback from coastal communities and build an audience for the Clam Cam website.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
