Ibsen in Drag: A conversation with Cherdonna Shinatra (Jody Kuehner) and Maggie L. Rogers
“Watching Cherdonna Shinatra crash into A Doll’s House was the first time I ever had fun watching A Doll’s House” (Gemma Wilson*), , Come witness a conversation between dancer/choreographer and drag performance artist Jody Kuehner (Cherdonna Shinatra) and artist and dramaturg Maggie L. Rogers. The conversation will focus particularly on Kuehner and Rogers' 2017 production, "Cherdonna's A Doll's House,” staged in collaboration with the Washington Ensemble Theater on Capitol Hill. Cherdonna is Kuehner’s movement-based persona, a vehicle for exploring self and gender. How did Kuehner and Rogers hope to shake up the celebrated (yet stagnant?) gender politics of Henrik Ibsen’s play on the American stage?

Book Launch | Reading Across Borders: Afghans, Iranians, and Literary Nationalism | Prof. Aria Fani in conversation with Anna Learn
Prof. Aria Fani discusses the dynamic and interconnected ways Afghans and Iranians invented their modern selves through literature. Contrary to the presumption that literary nationalism in the Global South emerged through contact with Europe alone, Reading Across Borders demonstrates how the cultural forms of Iran and Afghanistan as nation-states arose from their shared Persian heritage and cross-cultural exchange in the twentieth century. In this book, Aria Fani charts the individuals, institutions, and conversations that made this exchange possible, detailing the dynamic and interconnected ways Afghans and Iranians invented their modern selves through new ideas about literature. This monograph illustrates how voluntary and state-funded associations of readers helped formulate and propagate "literature" as a recognizable notion, adapting and changing Persian concepts to fit this modern idea. Focusing on early twentieth-century periodicals with readers in Afghan and Iranian cities and their…

CANADA | K-12 Educator Workshop -- Arctic Securities: How to Understand Current Challenges in the Circumpolar World
Arctic Securities: How to Understand Current Challenges in the Circumpolar World
Date: Wednesday, November 6th
Time: 4:30 - 6:30 pm PT
Location: Online via Zoom -- link sent to registrants before event
Cost: $10.00
In the mainstream media, Arctic security often refers to military security—the defense of our North American northern coastlines and national resources, securing the region from conflict and even Russia’s aggression. But security from a northern perspective has other priorities, including food security, housing security, and the security of northern peoples to protect their homelands from outside interests and interference.
This virtual workshop for K-12 educators will address security from two key perspectives – traditional security and human security. Ben Johnson, professor from the University of Groningen and current Fulbright Scholar at the University of Washington, challenges traditional concepts of security. Ben’s research looks at how the Arctic continues to be framed by past notions of…

Film Screening: 'Carving the Divine: Buddhist Sculptors of Japan', with filmmaker Seki Yujiro
Carving the Divine (2019, 99 min.) is a documentary film that offers a rare look into a 1400-year-old Buddhist woodcarving tradition and the practitioners struggling to preserve its legacy in a rapidly changing Japan. Master Koun Seki, the former apprentice of renowned Busshi, Kourin Saito, takes us on a trip through a guild culture unlike anything existing today in the West. From the growing pains of a novice apprentice, to the entire guild working together as one body to create breathtaking works of art, to the monkish practice of the famed, Grand Master Saito himself, alone on his quest to “leave nothing but great works behind.”
Born and raised in Japan, Seki Yujiro earned a BA in Film from the University of California, Berkeley. He moved to Los Angeles to work as a director of the video department for Intermarket Design. After attaining permanent U.S. residency, he began studying full time in the Cinematography program at UCLA Extension. Upon graduating from that program, he embarked on the journey of…

Sound Systems of Latin America 4 (SSLA4)
The Department of Linguistics at the University of Washington is pleased to host the 4th Sound Systems of Latin America (SSLA 4).
SSLA4 brings together scholars to study the sound systems of indigenous languages in Central and South America—regions rich in linguistic diversity but with many languages dormant or endangered. These sound systems are diverse yet under-studied. The conference covers synchronic and diachronic phonetics and phonology of specific dialects and languages, contributions to typological studies, and documentation of languages with undescribed or under-described phonologies.
Many of the scholarly talks presented at the conference will discuss direct collaborations with indigenous communities for language documentation, thus promoting indigenous points of views in the development of the best practices within this field for carrying out research.

There is limited data regarding how sexual orientation and gender identity impact workers' employment or work experience. Without this research, queer workers and accomplices are left without understanding broad trends, making systematic change difficult.

Film Screening: Asako I & II
AUTHOR INTRODUCTION
Join us for a screening of the award-winning 2018 film 'Asako I & II' by filmmaker Ryûsuke Hamaguchi (Drive my Car) based on the award-winning novel Nete mo Samete mo by Tomoka Shibasaki. Shibasaki will be on site to introduce the film.
A mysterious and intoxicating pop romance, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s follow-up to the acclaimed Happy Hour begins with Asako, a young woman who meets and falls madly in love with a drifter, Baku, who one day drifts right out of her life. Two years later, working in Tokyo, Asako sees Baku again — or, rather, a young, solid businessman named Ryohei who bears a striking resemblance to her old flame. They begin to build a happy life together until traces of Asako’s past start to resurface.
Shibasaki's first novel, Kyō no Dekigoto (A Day on the Planet), was adapted by Isao Yukisada into a film of the same name in 2003. In 2006 Shibasaki won a MEXT Award for New Artists for Sono Machi no Ima wa (Today, in that City), which was then nominated in 2007 for…

“Unruly” Children with Jing Xu
On Thursday, November 14 from 3:30 to 5pm in HUB 337 and online, Dr. Jing Xu will discuss her latest monograph, “Unruly” Children: Historical Fieldnotes and Learning Morality in a Taiwan Village (Cambridge University Press, 2024).
How do humans become moral persons? What about children’s active learning in contrast to parenting? What can children teach us about knowledge-making more broadly? My book explores these questions through re-discovering the late anthropologist Arthur Wolf’s unpublished fieldnotes collected in Taiwan (1958-1960). Designed as an improved replication of the Six Cultures Study of Socialization (SCS), a landmark project in the history of anthropology of childhood, Wolf’s project was the first systematic, ethnographic research on Taiwanese children and ethnic Han children more broadly. Xu analyzed this rare archive of fieldnotes, including interviews, natural observations and psychological tests, from a cognitive anthropology approach distinguished from SCS’ behaviorist paradigm. She…

Sacred Breath: Indigenous Writing and Storytelling Series
November 14, 2024 from 5:30-7:00pm Online
featuring Richard Van Camp and Roger Fernandes
The Department of American Indian Studies at the University of Washington hosts an annual literary and storytelling series. Sacred Breath features Indigenous writers and storytellers sharing their craft at the beautiful wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ Intellectual House on the UW Seattle campus. Storytelling offers a spiritual connection, a sharing of sacred breath. Literature, similarly, preserves human experience and ideals. Both forms are durable and transmit power that teaches us how to live. Both storytelling and reading aloud can impact audiences through the power of presence, allowing for the experience of the transfer of sacred breath as audiences are immersed in the experience of being inside stories and works of literature.
Event is free. RSVP online for Zoom link and details.

Join Prof. Annegret Oehme for lunch to learn and discuss Yiddish-speaking werewolves at the Stroum Center on November 20th at 12:30! Sign up here.
Come and discuss this early modern Yiddish story about a rabbi who is turned into a werewolf by using a magic ring. We will explore the story's medieval, chivalric roots and discuss how the narrator uses language to confront questions of identity and belonging in the Ashkenazi diaspora.

Good Wife, Wise Mother with Fang Yu Hu
On Thursday, November 21 from 3:30 to 5pm in THO 317 and online, Dr. Fang Yu Hu will discuss her latest monograph, Good Wife, Wise Mother: Educating Han Taiwanese Girls Under Japanese Rule (UW Press, 2024).
In 1897, two years after Japan began its half-century rise as an imperial power, it inaugurated an ambitious experiment to make modern Japanese citizens out of Han Taiwanese schoolgirls in its first overseas colony, Taiwan. The goal of this education was to train Taiwanese boys and men to become government clerks and teachers, and girls and women to become “good wives, wise mothers” (ryōsai kenbo). This gendered education was part of dōka, the Japanese assimilation program, as it sought to make everyone in the empire “Japanese” as equals by teaching the Japanese language and imperial ethics with gendered roles.
Using periodicals, textbooks, fictions, and oral histories and interviews, Hu’s book investigates the creation, implementation, and impact of Japanese colonial education in Taiwan by examining…

LECTURE | Aswin Punathambekar, University of Pennsylvania | Voice, Video, and Vernacular: Digital Media and the Politics of Cultural Regions
Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info
Taking stock of the centrality of streaming video and other forms of social media entertainment in Indian public culture, this lecture focuses on the enduring significance of linguistic and cultural regions. With a focus on Tamil digital culture and through a close analysis of key YouTube channels and streaming video shows including Put Chutney and Urban Nakkalites I explore the range of imaginations and understandings of regional languages, cultures, and caste politics that media companies mobilize in their quest for audiences and markets. Drawing connections to other phases of media transition during the 1980s and 1990s and building on a rich strand of scholarship in that refutes the idea of a pre-given linguistic-cultural-geographic bind, I ask how vernacular regions are being imagined, produced, maintained, and contested in an era shaped by digital platforms and majoritarian ideas of nation and citizenship.
About the speaker, Aswin Punathambekar is a…

Teamsters, Turtles, and Beyond: The Legacy of the Seattle WTO Protests — MOHAI exhibit
In late November 1999, the World Trade Organization (WTO) conference sparked one of the largest political demonstrations in Seattle history. The protests rocked the city for a week and cast a spotlight on issues ranging from environmental protection and labor rights to international diplomacy and free speech.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary, this exhibit guest curated by University of Washington History Professor James Gregory revisits the “Battle of Seattle” through key artifacts, immersive images, and powerful statements from the people who were present.
From the origins of the WTO to the legacy of these events on activism, policing, and global trade policy, visitors are invited to consider multiple perspectives and reflect on their relationship to democracy—an issue at the heart of the WTO protests of continuing relevance today.
On view November 29, 2024 – April 27, 2025.

GWSS Autumn Colloquium: “Nascent moves: Loss, Desire, and In/Visible LGBTQ Resistances in Bangladesh,” presented by Saad Khan
Presenter: Saad Khan, GWSS Ph.D. Candidate
Moderator: Marielle Marcaida, GWSS Ph.D. Candidate
“Nascent moves” investigates the materiality of modes of coming together and collectivizing for pleasure, sociality, and political achievement in the LGBTQ activist scene in Bangladesh. In this colloquium, Khan will introduce the main arguments of his dissertation around themes of archive, loss, desire, failure, and development, and share ethnographic vignettes, particularly focusing on his first chapter: Ephemeral archives ~ Lesbian, Gay, and Hijra publics. He asks: Why do people keep documents of their life as valued objects? How to analyze these valued objects? He builds on queer scholarship to think about research methodologies, the concept of ‘nascent’ and explore how value of queer archives comes from their claim to futurity in the face of violence and erasure.

Mark and Maggie O’Connor’s 'An Appalachian Christmas' Featuring Maggie O'Connor
The Grammy-winning Mark and Maggie O’Connor bring their dynamic energy to a wondrous mixture of bluegrass instrumental and vocal music with An Appalachian Christmas.
The holiday tradition features fresh arrangements of Christmas classics and captures the emotions of the season: playfulness, joy, contemplation, gratitude and more. Performing on fiddle, acoustic guitar, mandolin and vocals, the husband and wife duo brings an elegance and earnestness to down-home bluegrass, Americana and folk music.
"The O’Connors engaged in a rousing, flirty, high-energy back and forth (she in jazzy riffs and he in a more bluesy vein)...Great fun!" — WTTW Chicago.

Autopsy of an Election: What We Lost, What We Won, and How to Fight for the Future
The environment surrounding the Biden and Trump campaigns revealed that we are living in an anxious and confusing time in politics. The past year of political upheaval has thrust into the spotlight long simmering debates about the vulnerable nature of democracy, the perils of money, and the malleability of the rule of law. How should we make sense of this last presidential election? Is political violence increasing? Who are the winners and losers? Ahead of the presidential inauguration, Professor Francis will reflect on the lessons of the 2024 election and will point to possibilities to reimagine a more just future.
