- Oct 910:00 AMDiscussion: "For Peace and Democracy, Turning Protest Into Policy"History shows that social movements are able to shape policy if they employ wise strategies, attract mass support, build broadly-based coalitions, articulate compelling narratives, and are persistent in applying pressure for change. Using the Vietnam peace movement, Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign, and Iraq antiwar movement as examples, David Cortright, Keough School of Global Affairs professor emeritus of the practice, will identify lessons for contemporary campaigns to prevent a new arms race and protest movements to oppose authoritarianism and social injustice, including the historic Hands Off, No Kings and Good Trouble mobilizations of recent months. David Griffith, assistant advising professor with the College of Arts and Letters and a concurrent teaching professor with the Reilly Center for Science, Technology, and Values, will serve as the respondent, with Lisa Schirch, Richard G. Starmann, Sr. professor of the practice of peace studies, moderating the discussion. The session will be held in person in Jenkins Nanovic Halls, Rm. 1050, as well as being held live on Zoom.

- Oct 1012:00 PMSouth Asia Group Lecture: “In the Midst of Geopolitics and Bioethics: Stem Cell Research and Therapy in India”Amit Prasad is an associate professor in the School of History & Sociology at Georgia Institute of Technology. He specializes in global, transnational, and postcolonial sociology and history of science, technology, and medicine. His research focuses on the history of the present — in particular, how history of colonialism continues to impact present day norms, values, and practices. His goal has been to excavate the complex and often contradictory entanglements of colonial tropes, ideologies, etc. with emergent knowledges and practices of science, technology, and medicine. Prasad also explores the visual culture of medicine, in particular its shift with the emergence of technologies such as MRI, issues of priority and invention, and scientific misinformation . He has also published on biopolitics of overseas drug trials and medical transcription and engaged with the role of history of science in films. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, American Institute of Indian Studies, among others and he has published in a number of journals, including Social Studies of Science, Science, Technology & Human Values, Theory, Culture, and Society, Cultural Geographies, Technology & Culture. His first book, Imperial Technoscience: Entangled Histories of MRI in the United States, Britain, and India (MIT Press, 2014), through a study of connected histories of MRI in the US, the UK, and India, investigated how the invention, industrial production, as well as cultures of MRI were entangled within colonial, West-centric, and Orientalist discourses. His second book, Science Studies Meets Colonialism (Polity, 2022), investigates how colonial tropes, norms, ideologies, etc. continue to animate the present, including in the fields of history of science and science and technology studies (STS). Drawing on an ethnographic study of a stem cell clinic, he is writing his third book that is tentatively titled Miracle or Science: Scientific Uncertainty, Contested Ethics, and Global Melange in a Stem Cell Laboratory. He is an editor of the journal Science, Technology and Society (Sage). He is also an avid collector of Indian art - medieval miniatures and modern and contemporary paintings and etchings. He is particularly interested in postcolonial cosmopolitanism of Indian art/artists. Prasad's lecture is sponsored by the Liu Institute's South Asia Group and Health, Humanities and Society, Reilly Center for Science Technology and Values.Lunch Provided — Please Bring Beverages In support of the Liu Institute’s growing commitment to sustainability, we will no longer be offering drinks at our public lectures and panels.

Each event features an A&L professor leading a class session pulled directly from some of the most popular and riveting courses on campus."A History of Art in 25 Objects" with Rachel Patt, assistant professor of art historyArt History "A History of Art in 25 Objects" takes a radically different approach to introducing art history, as survey courses typically move methodically from cave paintings to cathedrals, then from Renaissance frescoes to contemporary phenomena. Instead, this class probes from Day One the questions of “What is a work of art? And how can we use art to illuminate themes vital to the complex, messy, and profoundly joyful experience of being human?” In this session attendees will see how the class examines 25 key artworks spanning the breadth of the globe’s cultures as prisms to explore the fullness of the human experience in worlds past and present. Students learn to apply art in exploring themes like power and social justice, cross-cultural encounters and exchanges, and the nature of identity. Alumni, friends, prospective students and their parents, and anyone else on campus are welcome. Visit Crash Course for a complete listing of courses this season.Originally published at al.nd.edu.
- Oct 103:30 PMLuke Morgan Poetry Reading: Blood AtlasPlease join the Keough-Naughton Institute for a poetry reading by Luke Morgan, recipient of the 2025 Lawrence O'Shaughnessy Award for Poetry. Luke Morgan will be reading from his new collection Blood Atlas (Arlen House, 2025). Copies of his books will be available for sale after the reading. About Blood Atlas Familial connection is at the heart of Luke Morgan’s eagerly-awaited third collection, Blood Atlas. More structured than his previous works, he navigates his lineage in the form of the villanelle, sonnet, ghazal and pantoum, seeking to make sense of his personal history. These stories are mapped with a cartographer’s eye, finding connections with ancestors such as Field Marshal Montgomery and the English physicist, James Prescott Joule. Full of striking images and timeless truths, each finely-wrought poem is ‘... an open wound’. The collection culminates in a sequence of ten sonnets which explore the lesser-known senses, whether detecting the passing of time in ‘Chronoception’ or the awareness of the body in space in ‘Proprioception’. Blood Atlas demonstrates the mature reach of a poet whose skill and memory work synergistically, creating a body of work that, like his family legacy, will endure. About Luke Morgan Luke Morgan is the recipient of the O'Shaughnessy Award 2025. Blood Atlas, his eagerly awaited third collection, from Arlen House, was completed with the assistance of a bursary from The Arts Council | An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Morgan is also the author of the poetry collections Beast (Arlen House, 2022) and Honest Walls (Arlen House, 2016). In addition to his work as a poet, Luke is also part of an award-winning filmmaker duo Morgan Brothers with the composer Jake Morgan. He lives and works in Galway, Ireland.
