Together, we will discuss subjects related to the undocumented student experience, learn and apply (in real-time) best practices for allyship and building inclusive communities with immigrant students. By educating ourselves, listening to our peers, and engaging in honest dialogues, we can do our part to help ensure Notre Dame classrooms are inclusive of all students regardless of their immigration status. Note: Lunch will be provided. Facilitators: Itzxul Moreno, Valeria Zambrano, Marcela Rodriguez Holguin https://learning.nd.edu/workshops-and-events/2025/02/27/cultivating-inclusive-learning-evironments-undocually-training-1/

In this talk, Cheryl Lawther, professor at Notre Dame’s School of Law and a fellow of the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice at Queen’s University Belfast, will draw on her recently published book, Constructing Victimhood: Beyond Innocence and Guilt in Transitional Justice (Oxford University Press, 2024), to expand the criminological, victimological, and transitional justice image of who we “see” as victims, what we “hear” as experiences of victimization, and who makes these determinations. In her talk, Lawther will argue that if transitional justice is to live up to its claims of being “victim-centered,” it is essential to widen its conceptual and practical boundaries to recognize the multiple and overlapping variables that construct and reproduce victimhood. Lawther will be joined by Josefina Echavarría Álvarez, professor of the practice and director of the Peace Accords Matrix, Joachim Ozonze (PhD candidate in Peace Studies and Theology) and Emma Murphy (Post-Doctoral researcher, Kroc Institute & Keough-Naughton Institute).

Join us for thematic tours inspired by our solo temporary exhibition by Clarissa Tossin, entitled All That You Touch, You Change. These focused experiences in the galleries seek to more deeply consider works of art in light of one of three central themes that are interwoven through the Tossin exhibition: Indigenity, the Environment, and the Cosmos. During the tour, participants will engage with works from the exhibition space as well as selected pieces from our permanent collection. Our goal is to foster a broader conversation about the connections between art, culture, and the world around us. These tours are designed to provide educational experiences that invite a nuanced understanding of the themes that shape Tossin’s work.

HEART ON FIREa new musical Presented by Notre Dame Film, Television, and Theatre by Olivia Seymour '25Directed by Matt Hawkins As the political climate of 1960s California heats up, sisters Lisa and Cassie find themselves on either side of the growing counterculture phenomenon. While Lisa is content with her simple life of running her late mother’s diner and trying to start a family, Cassie desires more for herself, wanting to be a great singer and leave behind all she knows. With the hippie movement on the rise and the Vietnam War continuing to escalate, Lisa does her best to protect her family from the world while Cassie finds herself inevitably drawn into it, causing a divide between the sisters and their ideas of what it means to be a young woman in a rapidly evolving country. Olivia Seymour's HEART ON FIRE is the official selection for Notre Dame Film, Television, and Theatre (NDFTT)'s 2024 New Works Lab. The New Works Lab is a program developed alongside the Musical Theatre minor that allows for students to develop and stage a musical that they have written as part of NDFTT's theatre season. The student whose project is selected will workshop their script throughout the fall semester, which means that the above show description is subject to change as the story develops. Previous New Works Lab productions have included An Old Family Recipe, My Heart Says Go (formerly Stupid Humans), and Dawn's Early Light.
