Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Abigail Washburn is a banjo virtuoso who became fluent in both the language and culture of China while prepping for a career in law focused on U.S.-China relations. Wu Fei, a Chinese musical prodigy and master of the 2,000-year-old 21-string guzheng, was destined for a professional career performing state-sanctioned works in her homeland. Diverging from those paths resulted in a convergence of musical careers that now boldly push the boundaries of what you expect to hear in concert. Blurring the lines between their different art forms and homes in Appalachia and China, the effervescent resonances of Fei's guzheng dance around Washburn's expressive banjo playing, creating a musical thread the two friends can't help but use to draw us all closer together. https://performingarts.nd.edu/event/17151/wu-fei-and-abigail-washburn/

This event is part of the Kroc Institute’s series on intersectionality and justice as a beneficial framework and methodology paired with peace studies. The series is led by Ashley Bohrer, assistant professor of gender and peace studies, and features a variety of guest presenters who address the potential of intersectional analysis to transform timely global conversations and issues. Since the new millennium, Rwanda has been celebrated as a prosperous country with the highest number of women (61% in 2018) in its Parliament. Yet, President Paul Kagame has been winning Rwandan elections since 2003, and in 2024 was elected to a fourth term with 99.15% vote. Led by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), the government has been criticized as an authoritarian state for its repression of political dissidents. Dr. Xianan Jin, lecturer in politics at the University of Exeter, will discuss her book project, "Selective Capital in Women’s Political Participation: Neoliberal Authoritarianism in Rwanda," which investigates the paradox between liberal political inclusion of women and oppressive state control.
