Book Launch: "Thinking Nietzsche with Africana Thought"
November 12
4:00 p.m.
McKenzie Hall 175 Yamada Language Center

Michael Stern, associate professor of German and Scandinavian, will give a book talk on his new book Thinking Nietzsche with Africana Thought.

In the book, Michael Stern sets Nietzsche in conversation with Africana artists and philosophers to explore the role of aesthetics in decolonial worldmaking.

Nietzsche, a theorist of power, morality, and aesthetics supplies a description of a world making that also destroys. His notion of the will to power explains how particular and local interpretations spread and dominate. Stern situates Nietzsche’s thought alongside those of Africana artists and thinkers who, confronted with the effects of the slave trade and colonial violence, speak to new theoretical paradigms addressing erasure and displacement and its relationship to form making. Thinking Nietzsche with Africana Thought opens with Nietzsche’s work on the human imagination and its institutionalized restrictions, written around when the Congress of Berlin divided Africa without the presence of Africans. The book ends with the Ghanian sculptor El Anatsui’s understanding of temporality, form, and naming as he creates a slave memorial in a Danish setting.

Eschewing notions of hierarchal authority and keeping in mind how epistemological racism has delimited our philosophical possibilities, Michael Stern employs thought from each lineage to open the space for what Frantz Fanon calls a human with a new sense for rhythm. What emerges is a different sense for history, morality, culture, and political life.

Jeremiah Public Lecture: "From Chicago to Phanom Rung: The Return of a Khmer Lintel and Pilaster to Thailand"
November 12
4:00–5:20 p.m.
McKenzie Hall 229

The Art Institute of Chicago has recently decided to deaccession and return to Thailand a 12th-century Khmer pilaster depicting Krishna, marking a major step in provenance research. Long misattributed to Cambodia, the piece was confirmed through archival, stylistic, and on-site study to have come from Prasat Phanom Rung in Buriram province, Northeast Thailand. Its return recalls that of the reclining Vishnu lintel in 1988, which originated from the same doorframe and was later reinstalled during the temple’s restoration. Both works had traveled from Bangkok to Chicago in the 1960s, reflecting the challenges of tracing Khmer artifacts. Reuniting them at Phanom Rung not only corrects past errors but also restores cultural meaning by returning them to their original context.

Presented by: Nicolas Revire PhD, Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Research Fellow at Art Institute of Chicago.

Hosted by: Alison Carter PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon.

Event sponsors: Department of Anthropology, Global Studies Institute, Center for Asian and Pacific Studies, Department of History of Art and Archtecture, and Department of Asian Studies.

November 13
11:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
Erb Memorial Union (EMU) Redwood Auditorium

Career Pathway Panel and Resource Event.

What you’ll get out of it:

The modern world revolves around data and technology. The National Association of Colleges & Employers ranks technological skills as one of the top competencies sought by employers. Join us for a women-led panel with established professionals to learn about the role of data and computer science across industries. Discover the different ways to build these skills during your time at UO by taking advantage of majors, minors, clubs, or library events. Make connections with faulty and peers and meet industry professionals to ask your questions.

Women have played a major part in the development of the modern tech industry. Still, women earn only about 18% of computer science bachelor’s degrees in the United States while the industry employment rate is expected to grow much faster than other occupations. Although this event prioritizes female and female identifying role-models in tech, all are encouraged to participate.

This event is hosted by the Women in Technology (WiT) Club and is sponsored by the School of Computer and Data Science.

 Event Schedule:

Panel discussion  – 11:30AM – 12:30PM

Campus resource fair – 12:45 – 2:00PM

Condon Hall 106

Join the Department of Geography for the Colloquium Series talk with Chelsea Nestel on Aesthetics in Cartography: A Genealogy of ‘Really Good’ Maps”.

Nestel is the David and Nancy Petrone GIS librarian at the University of Oregon Libraries. They are the subject matter liaison for the Department of Geography. Chelsea is also co-chair of the International Cartographic Association working group Next Generation Cartographers.

“Aesthetic epistemology is integral to how maps are made, experienced and used, but aesthetics remains a neglected topic in cartographic theory. Using concordance analysis, a method from linguistics, I develop a genealogy of cartographic aesthetics. My genealogy explores how European-American cartography arrived at its current design-based aesthetic epistemologies through studying six aesthetic key words: design, aesthetics, taste, beauty, art, and style. I interpret the histories of these key words through the philosophy of aesthetics and conclude with a discussion of aesthetics and the values of cartography.” --Chelsea Nestel

This event is also available on Zoom: https://uoregon.zoom.us/j/96715179600.

Free and open to the public.

Film Screening of "Vietnamerica," a National Simulcast

2:00–3:30 p.m.
Justice Bean Hall 1207

In partnership with GETSEA – the Consortium of Centers for Southeast Asian Studies, the UO US-Vietnam Research Center and the Center for Asian and Pacific Studies will co-host a screening of the documentary film Vietnamerica.

Following the wars in Vietnam, over two million people fled to country with the collapse of the Republic of Vietnam. That exodus, referred to by many as “the boat people” resulted in nearly half dying while in flight, battling the elements, starvation, and pirates.

Vietnamerica follows Master Nguyen Hoa as he returns to former refugee camps in Southeast Asia after three decades abroad to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Having fled Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends, Hoa was the only survivor.

Executive Producer Nancy Bui of the Vietnamese Heritage Foundation joins GETSEA and over 20 universities across North America to watch Vietnamerica together simultaneously and connect via Zoom for a discussion with the filmmaker about the Vietnamese diaspora, their struggle, and how Master Hoa’s story is a prism to see the larger group.

For more information on the film, visit http://vietnamericamovie.org. If you are interested in holding a screening on your campus, contact GETSEA Director of Communications, Chris Hulshof, at chulshof@wisc.edu.

She is the author of HATE: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech, Not Censorship (2018) and Free Speech: What Everyone Needs to Know® (2023). She is also the host and project consultant for Free To Speak, a 3-hour documentary film series on free speech that was released on public television in 2023 (and is also available on YouTube).

The Oregon Humanities Center presents its 2025–26 speaker series centered on the theme of “Attention.”

The “Attention” series will explore the dynamics of how, why, and what we focus on shapes our reality and creates our purpose. Also known as concentration, alertness, focus, notice, awareness, heed, regard, and consideration—Attention is the fundamental cognitive ability to sustain one’s energy on a specific pursuit or thought.

Our first event will feature three UO faculty members on a panel discussing, from their own perspectives, how attention connects us to others and allows us to experience the world around us. 

Santiago Jaramillo is an associate professor in the Department of Biology and the Institute of Neuroscience. His lab studies auditory cognition—how the brain helps us hear the world (recognize sounds, pay attention to sounds, remember sounds, etc). Their research is performed on mice so advanced techniques can be utilized to measure individual neurons of different classes and change their activity with high precision. While their work focuses on the healthy brain, rather than any specific disorder, their studies can help others understand and address disorders related to hearing (tinnitus, auditory processing disorders, age-related hearing loss, etc) and inspire better artificial hearing systems.

Kate Mondloch is a professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory. Her research interests focus on late 20th- and early 21st-century art, theory, and criticism, particularly as these areas of inquiry intersect with the cultural, social, and aesthetic possibilities of new technologies. Her research fields include media art and theory, installation art, feminism, new media, science and technology studies, digital humanities, human flourishing, and mindfulness in higher education. She is especially interested in theories of spectatorship and subjectivity, and in research methods that bridge the sciences and the humanities.

Forest Pyle is a professor of English and Cartoon and Comics Studies. His interests include 19th Century British Literary Studies, Literary and Critical Theory, Poetry and Poetics, Postmodern and Contemporary Literary Studies, and Visual Culture. His work explores the problems and posibilities posed by aesthetic experience, particularly in the context of Romantic and post-Romantic literature.

"Beyond the Buzz: Finding the Signal in a Noisy World"
January 29
5:30 p.m.
The John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts Sheffer Recital Hall

The Oregon Humanities Center presents Christopher Brown and his jazz band

Each moment of our lives presents us with opportunities and challenges for us to make decisions that will shape the next minute, hour, day, week, month, year, and decade to come. If we want positive outcomes, the challenge is learning how to string together appropriate decisions in each moment. And for that, a decision-making filter is required. Christopher Brown and his band will demonstrate how jazz musicians use decision-making filters to identify what’s worth and what’s not worth paying attention to in various moments of our lives. His presentation and the band’s performance “Beyond the Buzz: Finding the Signal in a Noisy World” will take place in the Sheffer Recital Hall. There will be a reception with no-host bar at 5:30 p.m. The presentation and performance will begin at 6 p.m.

Christopher Brown is a Portland-based musician, composer, bandleader, and educator who seeks to be a voice for the advocacy of jazz music and American culture. After 20 years of military service, Brown studied jazz at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in Jazz Studies/Performance. He has taught as an artist in-residence at Wells Fargo’s “NJPAC Jazz For Teens” program (NJ), Mt. Hood Jazz Camp (OR), Mel Brown Jazz Camp (OR), Litchfield Jazz Camp (CT), Rutgers Summer Jazz Institute (NJ), Montclair Jazz Camp (NJ), and the International Summer Music Camp (Brno, Czech Republic). His musical and personal experiences have led him to an interest in synthesizing the principles of jazz with the day-to-day practicalities of life.

This event is part of the 2025–26 Cressman Lectureship.
