5:00pm UMMA Dialogtable - Food: Food
Location: Common Room, UMMA Offices, Suite 0540 (lower level)
As many of you are aware, UMMA is engaged in a major "reimagining" project to rethink the role of our university art museum and create a
bolder, more dynamic institution.
In keeping with this larger goal, we are planning focus group sessions for two different strategies to engage visitors when we open our new building in February 2009.
One strategy involves the Dialogtable - a cutting edge multi-user interactive table designed to provide a new way to experience the Museum's permanent
collection. The other is a series of "low tech tools" we are developing to be utilized by visitors in the galleries to introduce important ideas and stories behind the works on display.
Food and refreshments will be served!
The sessions are scheduled Nov 13 - 14 at the following times:
Tue, November 13

12:00pm Activism and epistemologies - Food: Food
Location: 2239 Lane Hall
Wednesday, November 7, at 12 noon - 1:30 pm, in 2239 Lane Hall (corner of State and Washington)
The Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies and IRWG present a talk by Laura Briggs on "Activism and epistemologies." This talk explores the emerging discourse about neoliberalism among feminist theorists. It examines the story these theorists tell about the genealogy of critique of neoliberalism, which they characterizing as beginning in Europe and emerging in the Americas in the Seattle anti-globalization protests of 1999. Although history is only a passing concern in this work, it is interesting that it passes over the Latin American protest against neoliberalism--beginning, say, with influence of the Zapatista movement beginning in 1994, or the left in the Central American civil wars before that. This talk suggests that such omissions matter, and argues for a scholarly practice that takes seriously not only the history but the intellectual labor of political movements. Laura Briggs is an Associate Professor of Women's Studies at the University of Arizona and the author of Reproducing Empire: Race, Sex, Science, and U.S. Imperialism in Puerto Rico. She is currently working on a book on transnational and transracial adoption.
