Jonathan Biss: Celebrating Beethoven Part 2
In celebration of the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, we continue our exploration of his piano sonatas, one of the most important collections in the history of music, with acclaimed pianist and Beethoven expert Jonathan Biss. This evening, the second of two programs, features music written over three decades, spanning the beloved “Moonlight” sonata to the other-worldly Opus 109. Biss writes, “Each of these earlier sonatas reveal hidden motives — like compositional Easter eggs. But nothing quite prepares you for the impact of the later work. It suggests an entire emotional universe and, in the way only Beethoven can, conjures the infinite.”.

This museum-wide exhibition engages artists whose work addresses narratives, communities, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space. The presenting artists approach the exhibition’s theme from a range of directions, varying across all media as well as aesthetic and conceptual contexts. Works encompass deliberately activist endeavors; the unpacking of individual histories excluded due to race, ethnicity, or class; explorations of coded language for protection, secrecy, or both; the illumination of invisible or covert systems of labor, exploitation, and capitalist control; and translation through surreal, oblique, or fantastical frameworks.

Linguistic and Racial Justice for English Learners/Multilingual Students in Higher Education, Speaker: Manka Varghese, professor, UW College of Education
Students who are linguistically othered are often racially othered as well. In this talk, Professor Manka Varghese describes how drawing on the distinctive capabilities of English learners/multilingual students can improve student learning, and lead to racial as well as linguistic justice. Educators should acknowledge and engage the various resources these students bring, such as: how to use different languages in different contexts and for different audiences; how to use their languages as an integrated communication system; and other types of resources from their communities. Finally, Prof. Varghese calls on universities and colleges to advance educational equity and justice by building frameworks for teaching, conducting research, and creating programs that center emergent multilingual students’ postsecondary transitions and experiences.

Within a mere quarter century, Tokyo emerged from the ruins of the second world war to become a metropolis of 10 million people. During this period, the once-capital of a military empire experienced U.S. occupation, hosted the Olympic Games, and transformed into a hub of economic wealth. Professor Yoshimi will share a selection of archived films and photos to illustrate what happened in postwar Tokyo as its people experienced a tremendous confluence of cultures, economic expansion, upheaval of classes, and changes in the physicality of the city. Looking at the city with its many layers, topographies, and military occupations over time, Yoshimi shows us how these temporalities may shape what Tokyo is to become in the era of globalization.
Shunya YOSHIMI is Professor of Sociology, Cultural Studies, and Media Studies at the University of Tokyo. He is the author of many books on cultural theory, urban culture, international expositions, media culture, information technology, the emperor system, and…

This museum-wide exhibition engages artists whose work addresses narratives, communities, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space. The presenting artists approach the exhibition’s theme from a range of directions, varying across all media as well as aesthetic and conceptual contexts. Works encompass deliberately activist endeavors; the unpacking of individual histories excluded due to race, ethnicity, or class; explorations of coded language for protection, secrecy, or both; the illumination of invisible or covert systems of labor, exploitation, and capitalist control; and translation through surreal, oblique, or fantastical frameworks.

Since the mid-1990s Japan has faced the end of an extended economic bubble, economic decline, widening income gaps, declining birthrates, aging population, and the major disasters of 1995 and 2011. For these reasons, the Heisei era (1989 to 2019) is often called the "Lost 30 years." In this lecture, Professor Yoshimi gives context to this era by showing the resonance between generational cycles and cycles of global history through his 'scales of history' framework in which he views centuries-long histories in 25-year segments.
Shunya YOSHIMI is Professor of Sociology, Cultural Studies, and Media Studies at the University of Tokyo. He is the author of many books on cultural theory, urban culture, international expositions, media culture, information technology, the emperor system, and Americanization in modern Japan and East Asia. He has been a leading scholar in the field of Media and Cultural Studies in contemporary Japan. He was the 2018 Edwin O. Reischauer Visiting Professor at Harvard University and…

Stabalizing and Enhancing Lithium-Ion Batteries
with Chemically Inert 2D Materials
Efficient energy storage systems represent a critical technology across many sectors including consumer electronics, electrified transportation, and a smart grid accommodating intermittent renewable energy sources. Arguably, the most important advance in energy storage over the past three decades is the lithium-ion battery, which was recognized with the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. However, despite its many successes, issues related to safety, energy density, charging time, and operating temperature range have hindered the large-scale adoption of some of the most revolutionary lithium-ion battery technologies such as electric vehicles and grid-level storage. Nanostructured materials were once thought to present compelling opportunities for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, but inherent problems related to high surface area to volume ratios at the nanometer-scale (e.g. undesirable surface chemical interactions betwee…

Midori with Jean-Yves Thibaudet
One of the most admired violinists in the world today, Grammy-winner Midori transfixes audiences wherever she performs. Her graceful precision and intimate expression allow the listening public to not only hear the music, but be moved by it. Playing with “characteristic verve, fire and tonal gleam” (Chicago Classical Review), she is joined by pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, a major force in classical music, from fashion and films to recordings and collaborations. This charismatic duo will present an all-Beethoven recital program in honor of the composer’s 250th anniversary.

Lecture Title: Interdependent Success: Cultivating a Community of Diverse Bodies and Minds
Heather D. Evans is a lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Disability Studies Program and Law, Societies & Justice Department. She has conducted both statistical analyses and ethnographic fieldwork. Evans’ current work examines “invisible disability” focusing on disclosure and identity management among people with physical, mental, and sensory differences that are not readily apparent. She is also committed to community based research and does consulting work for local organizations, primarily focusing on disparities within the criminal justice system. Broadly, she is interested in processes of social marginalization and identifying ways to expand access to opportunity structures through institutional change.
