- Oct 14:00 PMDiscussion and Autobiographical Play: "Pieces of Me," with Bo Petersen"Pieces of Me" is an autobiographical play that exposes the devastating emotional cost of living secretly as a mixed-race family under the vicious racist apartheid regime and the legacy it bore. Bo Petersen's father, Benjamin “Benny” Johannes Petersen, made a fateful decision in 1944 that would change his life forever. After meeting and falling in love with Bo's mother, who was white, he decided to pass as white. Until then, he had been classified by the South African Government as "Colored." A Colored person was a person of mixed European ("white") and African ("black") or Asian ancestry, as officially defined by the South African government from 1950 to 1991. Petersen’s parents had five children and were happily married for 62 years. They lived as a white family. Benny never told his wife or any of his children about his true identity. It was a secret that, if uncovered, would have had dire consequences for all of them. Benny could have faced 10 years' imprisonment, his marriage would have been annulled and his children taken away, reclassified and made wards of the State. "Pieces of Me" explores how Bo's father's torturous decision to pass as white has shaped her life. The play captures universal themes of exclusion, threat, and silences experienced by marginalized people throughout the world. "Pieces of Me" is Bo's renegotiation.

- Oct 312:30 PMAn invitation to engage: "Exploring Environmental Violence: Perspectives, Experience, Expression, and Engagement"Exploring Environmental Violence: Perspectives, Experience, Expression, and Engagement invites communities to explore violence on the environment as both a concept and phenomena. The contributors to this book represent a wide breadth of scholarly approaches, including law, social and environmental science, engineering, as well as from the arts and humanities. The chapters explore what environmental violence is and does, and the variety of ways in which it affects different communities. The authors draw on empirical data from around the globe, including Ukraine, French Polynesia, Latin America, and the Arctic. Varying responses to environmental violence by different communities, whether through active resistance or the creative arts, are also discussed, providing the foundation on which to build alternatives to the potentially damaging trajectory on which humans currently find themselves.

- Oct 35:00 PMLecture: "Dante’s Chorographies. From the territory to the 'Comedy'"Venice, BNM, Lat. Z 399, c. 98v. Courtesy of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice.The Center for Italian Studies is pleased to host a lecture by Dr. Giovanna Corazza (Cà Foscari) titled:Dante’s Chorographies. From the territory to the Comedy Between the 13th and 14th centuries, medieval Italian culture witnessed the emergence of regional and local territorial representations more prominently than in the rest of Europe. This detailed chorography, which developed both in the visual language of cartography and the verbal language of writing, evidently corresponds to the new practices of urban society, playing a central role in the conquest of rural areas and the increase in mobility, thereby engaging in a process of conceptual appropriation of space. Despite the diversity of expressive tools, the graphic and verbal chorography of the early 14th century reflect similar forms of territorial knowledge, based on an odological perspective and the need to reproduce the actual spatial and proportional relationships between the geographical objects represented. Moreover, Dante’s Comedy contains important chorography, composed in the formalized language of poetry. The analysis of these passages reveals construction methods perfectly integrated into the knowledge practices and the culture of territorial representation characteristic of his time. Giovanna Corazza è Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow presso il Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia con il progetto GEODETIC – Geography and Cartography in Dante’s Comedy (GA 101110048), che coinvolge il Dipartimento di Scienze Storiche, Geografiche e dell’Antichità dell’Università di Padova e il Center for Italian Studies della University of Notre Dame. Si interessa principalmente del rapporto tra geografia e letteratura nell’opera di Dante e nella produzione letteraria del XIV secolo, di cultura topografica e cartografica medievale, di interpretazione e ricezione dantesca.

- Oct 59:00 AMDolan Seminar/Book Talk: Emily Conroy-Krutz’s "Missionary Diplomacy"Emily Conroy-Krutz (Michigan State University) will discuss her book Missionary Diplomacy: Religion and Nineteenth-Century American Foreign Relations (Cornell, 2024) at the Cushwa Center's fall 2024 Jay P. Dolan Seminar in American Religion. Commentators for this seminar are Heather Curtis (Tufts University) and Amy S. Greenberg (Penn State). From the publisher Missionary Diplomacy illuminates the crucial place of religion in 19th-century American diplomacy. From the 1810s through the 1920s, Protestant missionaries positioned themselves as key experts in the development of American relations in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Middle East. Missionaries served as consuls, translators, and occasional trouble-makers who forced the State Department to take actions it otherwise would have avoided. Yet as decades passed, more Americans began to question the propriety of missionaries' power. Were missionaries serving the interests of American diplomacy? Or were they creating unnecessary problems? As Emily Conroy-Krutz demonstrates, they were doing both. Across the century, missionaries forced the government to articulate new conceptions of the rights of U.S. citizens abroad and of the role of the United States as an engine of humanitarianism and religious freedom. By the time the United States entered the First World War, missionary diplomacy had for nearly a century created the conditions for some Americans to embrace a vision of their country as an internationally engaged world power. Missionary Diplomacy exposes the longstanding influence of evangelical missions on the shape of American foreign relations.Inaugurated in 1980 and named in 2023 to honor the Cushwa Center’s founding director, the Jay P. Dolan Seminar in American Religion convenes each semester at the University of Notre Dame to discuss a notable book recently published in the field. Along with faculty and graduate students from Notre Dame, scholars from throughout the Midwest travel to campus to attend as invited guests of the Cushwa Center. The featured author engages with two invited commentators as well as the larger group. The Saturday morning seminar is free and open to all. Originally published at cushwa.nd.edu.
