What’s spin got to do with it? Using organic semiconductors to manipulate spin for novel high-efficiency electronics
The rapid growth of computing and communication capabilities creates enormous demand for power, and with that is beginning to make a sizeable contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. To overcome this challenge, entirely novel concepts are needed for electronic devices whose power consumption is drastically reduced, if possible, by orders of magnitude. This will be impossible to accomplish within the existing framework of existing semiconductor technologies. One possible alternative might be to use spin as an information carrier. Though switching spin uses much less energy than switching e.g. voltages, it conventionally requires large magnetic fields which are difficult to miniaturize to the scale of conventional electronics.
In this talk, I will introduce new ideas of how one may achieve this without external magnetic fields. Instead, I will show how by appropriate choice of organic semiconductors and their interfaces with other materials one may control spin in transport, in the spin degrees of freedom of the electronic structure of a material, and on femtosecond timescales. I will showcase recent work from LabMontiTM how we achieve this at the single molecule level, in 2D materials and in quantum materials.
2:30–4:00 p.m.
Join Rachel Cushman (enrolled citizen of the Chinook Indian Nation) for a works-in-progress presentation of her dissertation project's history, methodology, and current state.
After more than a century of struggle, the Chinook Indian Nation achieved a moment of justice in the form of federal recognition at the close of the Clinton Administration in 2001. The triumph was short-lived. Just eighteen months later, the celebration turned into heartbreak as the Bush Administration, under the influence of another tribe, rescinded our hard-earned acknowledgment. Betrayal by the federal government not only upended my nation's future but also disrupted generations of resistance efforts. The loss of federal recognition encapsulates the Chinook’s enduring struggle with the United States government. This dissertation delves into structures, processes, and critical moments in the Chinook Indian Nation’s determination for justice. What signifies justice has changed over time and generations due to the shifting and permeating nature of settler colonialism; however, the protection of our sovereign authority over our people and place of origin, as well as our Indigenous rights, have been centered. Throughout this decolonial justice journey, we have continued to center and preserve the well-being of the Chinook people, the other-than-human world, and our epistemologies. To illustrate this, I will employ a multimedia mixed-method approach, drawing from historical and contemporary voices within the Chinook Justice Movement. This survivance narrative not only adds to but also reshapes our comprehension of coloniality and Indigenous resistance, making a unique and significant contribution to the fields of Native American and Indigenous Studies, Settler Colonial Studies, Political Science, and others.

Long before the State of Israel was born, British Mandate Palestine was the scene of one of the worst pogroms ever perpetrated outside of Europe. The 1929 massacre of the ancient Jewish community of Hebron, the burial place of Abraham, was one of the most crucial events in the Arab-Israeli conflict -- until October 7, 2023, and Hamas's gruesome massacre. Award-winning journalist Yardena Schwartz draws on her extensive research and wide-ranging interviews with both sides to tell the story of the world's most enduring conflict. She shows how the issues today cannot be fully understood without the context of ground zero of this century-old war.

Utopia/Heterotopia/Dystopia
Professor Ken Calhoon

Savage Places: The Witch-Themed Film as "Crisis Heterotopia"
My proposed lecture is part of a current project examining cinema with respect to the aesthetic conventions of landscape. This tradition readily suggests itself to a discussion of utopia, a concept that has often been summoned to illuminate the socio-political import of the idyll, the locus amoenus, and other generic components of literature, painting, garden design, even music. I am interested in the ways in which these dimensions acquire a sharpened relevance for a certain sub-species of the horror genre, namely the "witch-themed" film. The rupture that would spell the end of an approach that cast the natural setting as benign invitation is emblematized by the "deep Romantic chasm" of Coleridge's "Kubla Khan," which affords a portal to what would become a requisite topos of such films -the underneath: "A savage place! as holy and enchanted/ As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted/ By woman wailing for her demon-lover!" In the ambivalence surrounding the word "holy" we may already detect a precursor to Michel Foucault's understanding of "crisis heterotopias," which he characterizes as "privileged or sacred or forbidden places, reserved for individuals who are, in relation to society and to the human environment in which they live, in a state of crisis: adolescents, menstruating women, pregnant women, the elderly, etc." This description is a close approximation of the scenario of Lukas Feigelfeld's studentfilm titled Hagazussa (2017). The title is an Old High German compound whose etymology adjoins the witch to a wooded enclosure, which is the meaning of the root-word Hag. The hagazussa was the "fence-sitter," that is, a female figure who straddled the divide between society and the wilderness. With a focus on Foucault's discussion, I will analyze Fegelfeld's film alongside two others: The Blair Witch Project (1999) and The Witch (2015).

Uchronia and Alternate Empire
Uchronia, a word formed by analogy to "utopia," signifies an alternate history. This presentation focuses on uchronia in the reception of early modern European colonialism. Pre-modern European expansion prompted the production of a vast array of texts chronicling and legitimizing conquest and Christian conversion. However, some publications offered divergent, deliberately non-historical accounts of European expansion. This presentation looks at representations of the early encounter with the Americas and what can be termed "alternate empires," in which authors of different time periods create imaginary historical episodes that rewrite or disrupt narratives of European navigation and domination. Are these works wishful thinking, escapist art, or expressions of critique and contestation? Baroque Italian epic poetry on Vespucci's voyages and Laurent Binet's recent novel,Civilizations (2019), will serve as anchors for considering the meaning and significance of alternate empires in fiction about early modern global encounters.

Hip hop is a global form of creative expression. In Cuba, Brazil, and Haiti, rappers refuse the boundaries of hip hop’s US genesis, claiming the art form as a means to empower themselves and their communities in the face of postcolonial racial and class violence. Despite the geographic and linguistic borders that separate these artists, Charlie Hankin finds in their music and lyrics a common understanding of hip hop’s capacity to intervene in the public sphere and a shared poetics of neighborhood, nation, and transatlantic yearnings. Situated at the critical intersection of sound studies and Afro-diasporic poetics, Break and Flow draws on years of ethnographic fieldwork and collaboration, as well as an archive of hundreds of songs by more than sixty hip hop artists. Hankin illuminates how new media is used to produce and distribute knowledge in the Global South, refining our understanding of poetry and popular music at the turn of the millennium. Published in 2023 by the University of Virginia Press, Break and Flow was awarded the Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Comparative Literary Studies by the Modern Languages Association.
Charlie Hankin (Assistant Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, UC Davis) specializes in music-literature relations in the twentieth and twenty-first century Caribbean and Brazil. His research and teaching bring together sound studies and ethnomusicology, Afro-Latin American thought and poetics, hip hop studies, and comparative literature.

Join the Department of History and Tim Sorg, Senior Instructional Designer with UO Online, for a talk on "Syracuse, City of Unwilling Immigrants."
Classical Syracuse was a city of immigrants. Some came seeking work and high wages, others as refugees fleeing the Carthaginians’ advance across Sicily. But most arrived unwillingly. During the fifth and fourth centuries BCE, the Syracusans regularly forced the people they conquered to immigrate to Syracuse as landowning citizens and then gave away the land they left behind to people from outside of Syracusan society. In this talk, we explore why the Syracusans considered imperial land to be less a source of wealth than the people taken from it. Through it all, we learn what was so distinctive about Syracusan imperialism in the ancient world and what set the Syracusans apart from their imperial contemporaries at Athens and Rome.

Presented by the Oregon Humanities Center
Reproductive justice is a critical framework that was developed in response to reproductive politics in the US. Three core values of reproductive justice are the right to have a child, the right to not have a child, and the right to parent a child or children in safe and healthy environments.
LGBTQIA+ individuals need and deserve unimpeded access to full spectrum reproductive health care services. Far too often the movements for reproductive health and rights only center the needs of cisgender and heterosexual individuals and couples. Yet, the reality is: everyone needs reproductive health care regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation.
Candace Bond-Theriault will discuss the need to center LGBTQIA+ communities in the conversation about reproductive health, rights, and justice in a talk titled “Queering Reproductive Justice: An Invitation to Create Our Collective Future.” As this year’s Colin Ruagh Thomas O’Fallon Memorial Lecturer on Law and American Culture, Bond-Theriault will extend an invitation to all people who care about justice and equity to stake a claim in the fight for collective liberation.
Bond-Theriault asserts that for reproductive justice to be truly successful, we must acknowledge that members of the LGBTQIA+ community often face distinct, specific, and interlocking oppressions when it comes to these rights. Family formation, contraception needs, and appropriate support from healthcare services are still poorly understood aspects of the LGBTQIA+ experience, which often challenge mainstream notions of the nuclear family.
Candace Bond-Theriault, JD, LLM, is a queer lawyer, writer, mother, and social justice advocate working at the intersections of law, policy, reproductive health rights, racial justice, LGBTQIA+ liberation, economic justice, and democracy reform. She is Adjunct Professor of Sociology and Criminology at Howard University, and Associate Director for Movement Building at Dēmos, a think tank for the Racial Justice Movement.
Her book Queering Reproductive Justice: An Invitation (2024), blends advocacy with a legal, rights-based framework and offers a unified path for attaining reproductive justice for LGBTQIA+ people. Drawing on US law and legislative history, healthcare policy, human rights, and interviews, Bond-Theriault presents incisive new recommendations for queer reproductive justice theory, organizing, and advocacy.
Bond-Theriault’s talk, part of this year’s “Re-imagine” series, is free and open to the public and will be livestreamed and recorded. Please register.

"On the Logic of Autocracy and the Plasticity of History: The Case of Frederick William I, King of Prussia"
Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger Rector, Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Institute of Advanced Study)
Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger explores the fascinating contradictions of Frederick William I (1688–1740), the “Soldier King” of Prussia and father of “Frederick the Great.” He is remembered for his state reforms, the vast expansion of his army, and the shocking fact that he nearly had his own son sentenced to death. While contemporaries like Montesquieu saw him as a ridiculous outsider and pathological despot, later historians reinterpreted him as the “educator of the German people to Prussianhood.”

Join the Department of History and April Haynes, University of Wisconsin - Madison, for a talk on "They Know their Value and Take Advantage of It: Household Workers' Organizing at the Dawn of an American Service Economy."
In this talk, Haynes traces the simultaneous emergence of a waged service sector and the first stirrings of today's domestic workers' movement in the early US republic. Both trends are documented through the rise and fall of female intelligence offices, employment agencies which placed wage workers in employers' households across the North and West. The number of these offices exploded as demand for paid service rose in the era of northern abolition and the "pastoralization" of married women's housework. Drawing on data on 700 intelligence offices that operated between 1750 and 1850, Haynes finds that Black and female "intelligencers" kept a significant proportion of all offices beginning in the 1810s and that service workers increasingly used these spaces for mutual aid and proto-unionization. By midcentury, employer-class women regained the upper hand in domestic labor negotiations by launching a reform crusade that represented working-class female intelligence offices as sites of sex trafficking, demanding license laws, and organizing employer-run labor brokerages. Their actions both contributed to and obscured the racialization of domestic service, ultimately giving rise to the late nineteenth-century panic over "white slavery." Haynes argues that the class conflict over who could sell domestic labor power reveals its value within the development of American capitalism.
Haynes is professor and director of diversity, equity and inclusion in the Department of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research priorities include racialized gender, intimate labor, and women in social movements. Her first book, Riotous Flesh: Women, Physiology, and the Solitary Vice in Nineteenth-century America, unearths the surprising origins of a sex panic that prepared many Americans to accept heteronormativity. Her most recent article recovers the earliest known movement for sex workers' rights in US history and was published by Gender & History this fall. Her work has been recognized with awards from the Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic.
The Department of History Seminar Series runs throughout the academic year and features guest speakers from the top universities who share their perspectives on history. Visit history.uoregon.edu for more information about the seminar series.

The Women’s Center is beyond excited to invite you to join *in-person* at our annual Take Back the Night Rally, March and Speak-Out Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.
When: Take Back the Night is on Thursday, April 25th, 2024 starting with the Rally at 6:00pm followed by the March at 7:00pm and Student-Led Speak-Out at 8pm.
Where: Rally begins in the EMU Amphitheater at 13th and University St. followed by an approximately 2.5 mile March from the UO Campus through the streets of Eugene and back to UO Campus in the EMU Diamond Lake Room where the Student-Led Speak Out is held.
Who: The UO Women’s Center in collaboration with the UO Campus Community (UO Muxeres, UO Duck Rides, UO Green and Yellow Garter Band and more).
Thursday, April 25th, 2024 marks the 46th annual Take Back the Night Rally, March and Speak-Out Against Sexual and Domestic Violence event for the University of Oregon Campus Community. Take Back the Night is a yearly international protest founded in 1976 which seeks to raise awareness about the realities of Sexual and Domestic Violence on campus and in the community, both for Survivors of Sexual and Domestic Violence and those who want to support and bear witness in solidarity. Take Back the Night is a Survivor-Centered event that begins with a Rally in the EMU Amphitheater, continues as a March through the streets of Eugene to symbolize reclaiming people’s safety on public streets at night, and ends with a Student-Led Speak-Out on campus during which Survivors can share personal stories of how Sexual and Domestic Violence has impacted their lives.
The Rally will feature UO Student Speakers from diverse intersecting identities and lived experiences, including the Native American Community, Latine Community, LGBTQIA2S+ Community, International Community, Disabled Community, a Child Abuse Prevention Advocacy Organization and more.
Our theme for this year’s event is addressing the DUALITY that Survivors can hold on their path to healing - throughout both their radical joy & rightful rage - as they ultimately reclaim their power. As well, we will continue to center marginalized communities too often left out of essential dialogue about Sexual and Domestic Violence - despite being disproportionately impacted by these systems of oppression. As always, the Women’s Center is committed to providing this essential event to support Survivors, educate the community and prevent future harm.
ASL Interpretation will be provided at the Rally. This event is wheelchair accessible and will have transportation available during the March and back to Student-Led Speak-Out. We ask that no UO Professional Staff or Media be present during the Student Led Speak-Out portion of the event to provide a sacred space for students to have dialogue circles of peer-to-peer support. Event will take place **rain or shine** (rain is currently forecast) and is free and open to the public. We support and believe survivors in ALL WEATHER! Masks are not required but highly encouraged. Questions regarding Take Back the Night should be directed to Fatima Roohi Pervaiz or Maggie Bertrand at the UO Women’s Center. Contact:
UO Women’s Center Director, Fatima Roohi Pervaiz fpervaiz@uoregon.edu

Lanie Millar, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, and Fabienne Moore, associate professor of French, collaborated on a newly published book The Revolution Will Be a Poetic Act: African Culture and Decolonization (Polity, 2024), a translation of essays and speeches by prolific anticolonial writer, poet, and politician Mário Pinto de Andrade.
They will present a Wine Chat on this book and their collaboration.
Born in Angola during Portuguese colonial rule, Mário Pinto de Andrade (1928–1990) was one Africa’s most important 20th-century intellectuals who wrote in French, Portuguese, and Spanish. In 1956, he founded the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola but was exiled after independence was achieved in 1975. He never returned.
As anti-colonial movements got underway in the mid-twentieth century, Andrade wrote extensively about the urgent necessity for Africans to turn away from European cultural and political models, arguing that communities emerging from colonization should focus on voices from within, on self-representation, and on horizontal relationships among Black, African, and decolonizing peoples. Andrade played a key role in theorizing the international reach of revolutionary 20th-century poetry and literature, Black cultural vindication, and African liberation.
Millar served as an OHC Faculty Advisory Board member 2021–24 and was a 2021–22 OHC Teaching Fellow and a 2016–17 OHC Ernest G. Moll Research Fellow in Literary Studies. Moore was a 2020–21 OHC Ernest G. Moll Research Fellow in Literary Studies and served as an OHC Faculty Advisory Board member 2015–18.
