- 12:30 PM1h 30mLecture—"When Impunity Fights Back: International Anti-Corruption Commissions, Elite Manipulation, and Democratic Backsliding in Central America"Rachel SchwartzKellogg Visiting Fellow Amid increasing global concern with corruption, policymakers and civil society organizations have urged the adoption of international anti-corruption commissions (IACCs) to assist in strengthening the rule of law where politicians lack the will and capacity to crack down on corruption themselves. Under what conditions are IACCs granted the autonomy to investigate and prosecute corruption, and when do domestic elites succeed in constraining their authority and capacity? Drawing on comparative analysis of IACCs in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, this lecture will unpack the domestic and transnational determinants of IACC design, offering policy insights on the possibilities and limits of international support for strengthening the rule of law in fragile contexts.

- 6:00 PM2hLiminal: Indiana in the AnthropoceneLiminal is a meditative film that uses drone footage to show how Indiana is a microcosm of the Anthropocene, a new geological period on Earth. The film explores the relationship between humans and the Earth, especially how human activities are altering conditions on the planet. Natural beauty is highlighted during the film but also the consequences of human actions, such as pollution and land-use change, thus visualizing the complex reality of the Anthropocene for Indiana. Following the film, there will be a panel discussion with film director Zach Schrank and Jennifer Tank from the Department of Biological Sciences. This is part of the semester-long events highlighting the Anthropocene being organized by Julia Adeney Thomas <thomasjna@aol.com> in the Department of History.
