Self-efficacy is the perceived confidence people have in their ability to perform.  Increasing your research self-efficacy can increase the likelihood that you will successfully perform tasks, pursue a research career, and make important contributions to your field.  This session of a 6-part series is designed to provide scholars the knowledge and skills to: 1) define self-efficacy and it sources; 2) identify signs of self-efficacy; 3) build your own self-efficacy; 4) assess the influence of others on your research self-efficacy; and 5) devise strategies to support others’ research self-efficacy. Lunch will be provided. https://gradconnect.nd.edu/register/?id=972174a6-9b26-4000-9111-bfc63c42774e

As a part of the ongoing series on how art and scholarship combine in academic storytelling, the Nanovic Institute is pleased to host a lunch presentation with Sarah Edmands Martin, assistant professor of design and a Nanovic Institute faculty fellow. Martin produced recently released A Fable of Tomorrows (2024), an artwork consisting of video projection, interactive sculpture, and video game design at the center of which is a fable from the future. It is experienced through multiple media forms. Created while on a 2024 research Fulbright in Norway, the work materializes how human memory, digital computation, and temporality are revealed through fables, riddles, and archives. As a phantasmagoric video panorama immerses viewers in visions of different temporalities (from deep time to a lifetime), a mysterious artifact poses Old English-inspired riddles, which take more than one human generation to solve. Curated into a solo exhibition in Manchester’s MediaCity which reached over 30,000 people on opening weekend, the work travels to South Korea in 2025 for a solo exhibition at the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art. This work was supported by the U.S. Department of State, Notre Dame's Department of Art, Art History & Design, Nanovic Institute for European Studies, and the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts. Join the Nanovic Institute as well as Notre Dame students, faculty, staff, and the general public to learn more about this work, experience the interactive elements of this art, ask questions, and enjoy experiencing an innovative example of the art of academic storytelling. Lunch for participants will be provided beginning at 12:00 p.m., while supplies last. About the Series The Art and Scholarship of Academic Storytelling series explores the connections between “The Arts” (music, theater, dance, poetry/creative writing, filmmaking, drawing, painting, photography, and sculpting) and “Scholarship” on the topic of storytelling. Story and narrative are critical in the transmission of human ideas and culture. Thus, the institute and its partners across campus seek to understand how these methods of transmitting ideas may be practiced within an academic context. To do so, it seeks out the expertise of practitioners of the arts who do this type of storytelling in their work. Students, faculty, staff, and the general public are all invited to join these events, which are sometimes scheduled in tandem with performances on campus or in the local community, to consider this fascinating topic that cuts across disciplinary lines and appeals to academic and general audiences alike.

A "tertulia" is a gathering of people who get together regularly to talk about some topic. In our case, the topic is a trigger, since the purpose of the meeting is to talk in Spanish. Tertulia provides a space where students can connect with other Spanish learners and practice the language in a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. We’ll also have some snacks and drinks available for everyone. Originally published at romancelanguages.nd.edu. https://cslc.nd.edu/news-and-events/events/2024/11/13/tertulia-2/

This 3-session body acceptance workshop supports students in directly challenging the cultural messages that appearance should fit within a narrow set of “ideals” that exclude diverse bodies based on race, gender, sexuality, and ability. You do not need to use any other UCC service or attend a drop-in appointment to come to any workshop or support space. https://ucc.nd.edu/news-events/events/2024/11/13/the-everybody-project-series-offering-3-2/

Come prepared to flex your creative muscles and discover new sources of inspiration. For this session, we will be exploring the art and history of photography. No experience necessary! -- https://sjcpl.libnet.info/event/11261240

In this featured program, Joseph Becherer, Director of the Raclin Murphy Museum or Art and Curator of Sculpture, will moderate a conversation between Reverend Austin Collins, C.S.C., and Revered Martin Lam Nguyen, C.S.C., two beloved members of the Notre Dame and Congregation of Holy Cross communities. They will discuss the dual call both to the religious and the artistic life. Fr. Collins serves as the Vice President for Mission Engagement and Church Affairs at the University of Notre Dame and has been a faculty member in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design since 1985. As a sculptor, Fr. Collins’s area of practice includes public art, large outdoor sculpture, installation art, and liturgical art, often with a focus on political and social issues. His more than 140 exhibitions include works at Notre Dame and other universities nationwide as well as the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Fr. Ngyuen joined the faculty of the Department of Art, Art History, and Design at the University of Notre Dame in 1995. Fr. Nguyen creates large-scale works in drawing and various painting media. His works are site-specific installations, designed to provide a contemplative space for viewers to examine people and events of the past that are still alive in one’s memory. Against the backdrop of our fall exhibition, Through the Lens of Father Francis Browne, S.J.: Photographic Adventures of an Irish Priest, this discussion will explore the unique, intersectional space of religious life and artistic expression that both Fr. Collins and Fr. Nguyen inhabit. Father Browne's photographic legacy offers a rich context for this dialogue, showcasing how spirituality can shape and inspire artistic vision. Fr. Collins and Fr. Nguyen will share their experiences and insights on how religious life influences their creative processes and how their art serves as a conduit for spiritual reflection and communal connection. Before the lecture in the Atrium, we encourage you to explore the work of Father Browne on view in the Temporary Exhibition Galleries on Level 2. The exhibition will remain open until the lecture begins. Originally published at raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu.
