The International Year of Glass
<p>The United Nations declared 2022 the International Year of Glass to celebrate “the essential role glass has and will continue to have in society,” including its tremendous technological, scientific, economic, historical and artistic importance. This four-week forum will showcase the myriad cultural and practical forms of glass and the glass research of the Coe Physics Department. In week one, Assistant Professor of Physics Caio Bragatto will explain what defines a glass, why it is a special material suited to particular applications, how it is variously prepared for artistic, scientific or industrial purposes and how glass plays an important role in countless aspects of our daily lives. During the second session, Assistant Professor of Physics Firdevs Duru and Associate Professor of Physics Ugur Akgun will offer an overview of the history of glass, which dates back to 3400 BC. Week three will focus on the use of glass in art, with Fran Allison and Francis Halpin Professor of Physics Mario Affatigato exploring how glass was originally a medium for artistic expression as well as a functional material. This presentation will highlight examples of glass art from across time and place and discuss how light interacts with glass to create the wonder that inspires great art. In the final session, B.D. Silliman Professor of Physics Steve Feller will provide a live glassmaking demonstration and discuss modern glass research, including work at Coe that has innovated new aspects and applications of glass research.</p> 2021-08-04 11:30:00 -0500

Teaching and Learning Inside: The Transformative Potential of College-In-Prison Programs
<p>What are prisons for? What should happen to people when they are incarcerated? Since most incarcerated individuals in the U.S. eventually are released, vocational training, GED and higher-education programs were long seen as a way to help them work toward lives that would keep them out of jail. However, tough-on-crime policies have resulted in more punitive sentences and the dismantling of many rehabilitative programs. This four-week forum will explore national and local programs that promote education and the arts in prisons. The first session will introduce collegein-prison programs, including the pioneering Bard Prison Initiative, and the debate about prison education. In week two, we will take a closer look at the Liberal Arts Beyond Bars college-in-prison program at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center (IMCC) in Coralville and hear from incarcerated students and those who work with them. Week three’s session will focus on Shakespeare prison programs; we will view excerpts from the documentary “Shakespeare Behind Bars” and learn about the presenter’s experiences teaching a linked Coe and IMCC Shakespeare course. The final session will examine other kinds of prison arts programs. We will view and discuss artwork by incarcerated individuals and consider the potential and pitfalls of arts, college and other rehabilitative programs in prisons. As we consider the challenges and opportunities of teaching and learning in prison, this forum will work to come to a better understanding of what college-in-prison programs offer incarcerated individuals and the society of which they are a part.</p> 2021-08-04 11:30:00 -0500

BREXIT: Why, How and What Now
<p>In 2016, the British public voted in a referendum to withdraw the United Kingdom (U.K.) from the European Union (EU). This shocking development launched the beginning of the end of the U.K.’s contentious membership in that powerful body and touched off life-altering consequences for the British people. While the “Leave the EU” directive was clear, the path toward BREXIT was not. The fallout has destroyed political careers, strained international relations and triggered constitutional crises, snap-elections, last-minute deals and acrimonious public and Parliamentary debates. This series will explore what BREXIT is and why it matters to the world. We will begin by discussing how the EU works; the economic, social and political arguments for EU membership; and the U.K.’s shifting relationship with the EU. In week two, we will turn to the 2016 referendum, exploring its prelude under Prime Minister David Cameron as well as who voted for BREXIT and why. We then shift attention to Prime Minister Teresa May’s efforts to negotiate a BREXIT agreement with the EU and to get it passed by the British Parliament. The final session will discuss the BREXIT agreement negotiated by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the future of the relationship between the U.K. and EU. Throughout the series, we will examine the challenges of political negotiation, why BREXIT has inspired such passion and rancor within the U.K. and abroad and the impact of these stunning political developments on ordinary people across the U.K., Europe and beyond.</p> 2021-08-04 11:30:00 -0500

BREXIT: Why, How and What Now
<p>In 2016, the British public voted in a referendum to withdraw the United Kingdom (U.K.) from the European Union (EU). This shocking development launched the beginning of the end of the U.K.’s contentious membership in that powerful body and touched off life-altering consequences for the British people. While the “Leave the EU” directive was clear, the path toward BREXIT was not. The fallout has destroyed political careers, strained international relations and triggered constitutional crises, snap-elections, last-minute deals and acrimonious public and Parliamentary debates. This series will explore what BREXIT is and why it matters to the world. We will begin by discussing how the EU works; the economic, social and political arguments for EU membership; and the U.K.’s shifting relationship with the EU. In week two, we will turn to the 2016 referendum, exploring its prelude under Prime Minister David Cameron as well as who voted for BREXIT and why. We then shift attention to Prime Minister Teresa May’s efforts to negotiate a BREXIT agreement with the EU and to get it passed by the British Parliament. The final session will discuss the BREXIT agreement negotiated by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the future of the relationship between the U.K. and EU. Throughout the series, we will examine the challenges of political negotiation, why BREXIT has inspired such passion and rancor within the U.K. and abroad and the impact of these stunning political developments on ordinary people across the U.K., Europe and beyond.</p> 2022-04-14 11:30:00 -0500
