Film Music, Concert Music and the Hollywood Connection
<p>Over the course of this four-week forum, Instructor and Teaching Artist in Music Alan Lawrence will explore significant milestones in the film music of the past century. Through film clips and audio recordings, audience members will learn about important film composers and the connections between concert and film music. The first week’s session will move from the silent film era through the blockbusters of the 1930s and ’40s, exploring the influence of Richard Wagner on early film composers such as Max Steiner (who scored “King Kong,” “Gone with the Wind” and “Casablanca”) and Erich Wolfgang Korngold (“The Adventures of Robin Hood”). Week two will take up the work of other expatriate European composers, including Franz Waxman (“Sunset Boulevard” and “Rear Window”) and Miklos Rozsa (“Spellbound” and “Ben Hur”), as well as American-born composers Alfred Newman (“The Hunchback of Notre Dame”), David Raksin (“Laura”) and Hugo Friedhofer (“The Best Years of Our Lives”). The third session will highlight the volatile talent of Bernard Herrmann (“Citizen Kane,” “Vertigo,” “North by Northwest” and “Psycho”) as well as Leonard Bernstein (“On the Waterfront”) and Elmer Bernstein (“To Kill a Mockingbird”). The final session will emphasize the influence of concert composers like Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst on film music composition, including the work of the versatile John Williams (“Jaws,” “Star Wars,” “E.T.” and more).</p> 2021-09-23 11:30:00 -0500

Jane Austen, Then and Now
<p>This forum will explore the literary and cultural importance of Jane Austen, one of Britain’s most celebrated novelists. Through exploration of Austen’s life and literary works, the context in which she lived and the pop culture her work has inspired, this four-week series will assess the scope of Austen’s achievement and why her works continue to captivate the world. The four-week series will begin with an introduction to Austen’s life and works, especially “Pride and Prejudice,” which epitomizes what we tend to think of when we think about Austen — the courtship novel with a fairy-tale happy ending. In week two, we will turn to Austen’s first published novel, “Sense and Sensibility,” and the ways it engaged with debates about women’s rights while appearing to conform with notions of proper femininity. During week three, the series will explore Austen’s characterizations and critiques of English domestic life in novels like “Northanger Abbey” and “Mansfield Park.” The series will conclude by examining Austen’s last complete novel, “Persuasion,” and the novel fragment, “Sanditon,” left at her death. Throughout the series, we will view clips of present-day film and television adaptations of these works, explore the fan culture and tourism that have long surrounded Austen and consider why Austen’s novels, unlike those of so many of her contemporaries, continue to inspire us today.</p> 2021-08-04 11:30:00 -0500

Jane Austen, Then and Now
<p>This forum will explore the literary and cultural importance of Jane Austen, one of Britain’s most celebrated novelists. Through exploration of Austen’s life and literary works, the context in which she lived and the pop culture her work has inspired, this four-week series will assess the scope of Austen’s achievement and why her works continue to captivate the world. The four-week series will begin with an introduction to Austen’s life and works, especially “Pride and Prejudice,” which epitomizes what we tend to think of when we think about Austen — the courtship novel with a fairy-tale happy ending. In week two, we will turn to Austen’s first published novel, “Sense and Sensibility,” and the ways it engaged with debates about women’s rights while appearing to conform with notions of proper femininity. During week three, the series will explore Austen’s characterizations and critiques of English domestic life in novels like “Northanger Abbey” and “Mansfield Park.” The series will conclude by examining Austen’s last complete novel, “Persuasion,” and the novel fragment, “Sanditon,” left at her death. Throughout the series, we will view clips of present-day film and television adaptations of these works, explore the fan culture and tourism that have long surrounded Austen and consider why Austen’s novels, unlike those of so many of her contemporaries, continue to inspire us today.</p> 2021-10-07 11:30:00 -0500

The Science and Politics of Pandemics
<p>Amid the present COVID-19 pandemic, it is useful and important to explore how pandemics provide an opportunity to address a variety of compelling scientific and political questions. This special two-week forum, led jointly by Ben Peterson Professor of Chemistry Maria Dean and Professor of Political Science Lynda Barrow, will examine pandemics past and present from the vantage points of a biochemist and a political scientist. From the 14th-century plague in Europe to the Ebola outbreaks of the early 21st century to the current COVID-19 moment, epidemics and pandemics offer a unique opportunity to consider a wide variety of significant scientific and political issues that leaders, countries and the international community face during moments of crisis. In the first week’s session, the presenters will define what constitutes a pandemic, which organisms and conditions make pandemics possible and why pandemics are a political as well as a scientific issue. The second session will discuss specific pandemics, examining in each case the science of the spread and containment as well as the political and public health responses. </p> 2021-08-04 11:30:00 -0500

The Past, Present and Future of Biodiversity
<p>From molecules to biomes, biodiversity represents the cumulative biological diversity that has evolved during Earth’s 4.6-billion-year history. It has been estimated 100 million species call Earth home, but less than 2 million have been named so far. Biodiversity provides the raw material for sustaining life through various ecosystem services, including providing clean water, regulating climate and cycling nutrients. Biodiversity is vital to sustaining ecosystems and human well-being through crop pollination, medicine and recreation. Yet it is declining at a rate faster than any time in history, prompting scientists to work more rapidly to address the consequences of such changes. In this two-week forum, Assistant Professor of Biology Daniel Hughes will offer an overview of biodiversity research, from the origins of conservation biology to the contemporary climate and extinction crises. In the first session, we will define biodiversity, discuss what we know about past changes in biodiversity and examine the current state of global biodiversity. The second presentation will explore case studies from around the globe about how biodiversity changes and the conservation efforts that are rescuing species from the brink. Integrating his own research on biodiversity in Central Africa and eastern Iowa, Dr. Hughes will provide a variety of examples and perspectives about the range of threats to biodiversity and the actions that can be taken to conserve species for future generations.</p> 2021-08-04 11:30:00 -0500

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
