SUMMARY:The Language of Color: Private and Public Eudemonia
DESCRIPTION:In a new Future of the Humanities Project event series — A Bent but Beautiful World: Literature\, Art\, and the Environment — we delve into the topical area of our environment. In recent years\, we have rightly heard much about the world’s environmental problems\, dangers\, and disasters. However\, in this series\, we will invite speakers to explore the ways in which art and literature have foregrounded the inspirational beauty\, delicacy\, and strength of the natural world. \nEstelle Thompson is a British abstract painter who lives and works in London and Barbados. In this talk\, she will look at her use of light and color in painting and built environment public commissions. As an artist\, curator\, educator\, and designer\, Thompson has always considered color as fundamental to all aspects of our lives. She celebrates its environmental function and positive power for humanity. She passionately explores color\, form\, space\, and geography to extend the history of abstraction\, optics\, and contemporary aesthetics. She will also consider the overlap of studio practice research\, so key to her large-scale public commissions\, such as Milton Keynes Theatre\, Quaglino’s restaurant in London\, and various hospital and university buildings across the United Kingdom. Thompson will touch on artistic freedom and social responsibility\, the nuts and bolts of commissioning\, and the ethics of working as an artist both in the private or public sphere. She will also share how she spent two years living and working in Barbados during the COVID-19 pandemic\, where the island’s location and environment further influenced her practice and philosophy. \nOnline. Open to all. \n  \nParticipants: \nEstelle Thompson is a British abstract painter who lives and works in London and Barbados. She has exhibited internationally\, curated exhibitions in Europe and the Caribbean\, and received commissions to incorporate color in the built environment of buildings across the United Kingdom. She is currently professor at the Slade School of Fine Art\, University College London. Thompson’s studio practice centers on color\, light\, form\, pictorial space\, and geometry. Her works are held in major public collections including the Arts Council of Great Britain\, the British Council\, and the British Museum. \nKathryn Temple (moderator) is a professor in the Department of English at Georgetown University where she has taught since 1994. She specializes in the study of law and the humanities. Among her publications are Loving Justice: Legal Emotions in William Blackstone’s England (2019) and the co-edited Research Handbook on Law and Emotions (2021). Her humanities outreach activities include work with military veterans and the incarcerated. \nMichael Scott is senior dean\, fellow of Blackfriars Hall\, Oxford\, college adviser for postgraduate students\, and a member of the Las Casas Institute. He also serves as senior adviser to the president at Georgetown University. Scott was on the editorial board which relaunched Critical Survey from Oxford University Press.

SUMMARY:Sing the World: How Classical Music Inspires Artists and Audiences
DESCRIPTION:In a new Future of the Humanities Project event series — A Bent but Beautiful World: Literature\, Art\, and the Environment — we delve into the topical area of our environment. In recent years\, we have rightly heard much about the world’s environmental problems\, dangers\, and disasters. However\, in this series\, we will invite speakers to explore the ways in which art and literature have foregrounded the inspirational beauty\, delicacy\, and strength of the natural world. \nIn this talk\, international viola player and music educator Graham Oppenheimer will look at how his art of classical chamber music can communicate\, educate\, challenge\, and inspire young people and audiences. Using musical examples\, he will show how great composers make their music “sound” like their national identity and find inspiration from their natural world\, be it nature\, emotional turmoil\, or the human-made environment of objects\, machines\, and cities. Educational initiatives can feed off these elements and be used to create both the artists and audiences of the future. The tools of a musician’s trade are also works of art themselves\, being used every day to “sing the world.” \nMichael Scott\, director of the Future of the Humanities Project\, will provide opening and closing remarks\, and Kathryn Temple\, a Future of the Humanities Project senior fellow\, will moderate a Q&A session following the presentation. \nOnline. Open to all. \n  \nParticipants: \nGraham Oppenheimer is one of the United Kingdom’s most respected violists. He is senior chamber music tutor at Chetham’s School of Music and gives masterclasses internationally. He studied with Atar Arad at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and the Eastman School of Music in Rochester\, New York. He was a founding member and principal viola of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. He has appeared in chamber music collaborations with Yehudi Menuhin\, Paul Tortellier\, Murray Perahia\, Imogen Cooper\, James Galway\, and more. Oppenheimer was also a founding member of the Schidlof Quartet. \nKathryn Temple (moderator) is a professor in the Department of English at Georgetown University where she has taught since 1994. She specializes in the study of law and the humanities. Among her publications are Loving Justice: Legal Emotions in William Blackstone’s England (2019) and the co-edited Research Handbook on Law and Emotions (2021). Her humanities outreach activities include work with military veterans and the incarcerated. \nMichael Scott is senior dean\, fellow of Blackfriars Hall\, Oxford\, college adviser for postgraduate students\, and a member of the Las Casas Institute.

SUMMARY:Administration\, Poetry\, Theology: Marguerite de Navarre's Unusual Trinity
DESCRIPTION:Human Dignity and Bureaucracy series\nA talk by Dr Jonathan Patterson\, Departmental Lecturer in French\, St Edmund Hall\, Oxford. \nMarguerite de Navarre (1492-1549) was a woman of many talents. By marriage she became Duchess of Alençon\, then queen of Navarre; by birth she was sister of the French King François I. Her status and intersecting official positions enabled her to build a vast network of ambassadors\, magistrates\, clergy\, poets\, and administrators. As early as 1521\, an ecclesiastical correspondent\, Bishop Guillaume Briçonnet\, urged Marguerite to remain united to her brother and mother – the ‘trinity’ that would determine the course of French politics and diplomacy throughout the 1520s. In this paper Dr Patterson will argue that Marguerite’s role within this trinity is superseded by her wider engagement in another trinity: administration\, poetry\, and theological reflection. This makes Marguerite not a ‘bureaucratic’ author\, but one whose correspondence suggests a nuanced administrative habitus. Marguerite’s practice of diplomacy is oriented towards Christ the ‘Heavenly Administrator of the soul’\, and it relies on earthly proxies of feeling: the letter bearer\, and sometimes the very letter\, or poem\, itself.  \nOnline. Free and open for all. \n

SUMMARY:Democracy Endangered: The Case of Brazil
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the ongoing event series Free Speech at the Crossroads: International Dialogues. These events are sponsored by the Free Speech Project (Georgetown University)\, the Las Casas Institute and Campion Hall\, hosted by Georgetown University on Zoom. \nThe recent armed attack on the three main centers of political power in Brazil reflected a story the West is getting to know all too well. An abrasive incumbent\, Jair Bolsonaro\, incited outrage amongst thousands of supporters with baseless claims of election fraud. What was supposed to be a peaceful transfer of power descended into bedlam. As security officials allegedly had a hand in fueling the insurrection\, it is clear that anti-democratic sentiment is alive and well in Brazil\, and is likely backed by powerful people. What can the West and Latin America do to stop authoritarian actors who seek to undermine fair elections and democracy? Is this trend contagious? \nFree and open to all. Registration is not required. Click on the link to watch the event. \nFeaturing\nAna Ionova is a multimedia journalist based in Brazil\, who reports on human rights\, the environment\, health\, politics\, and women’s rights. Her work has been published by Reuters\, The Los Angeles Times\, The Guardian\, BBC News\, The New York Times\, and Foreign Policy. She also contributes to BBC’s World Service and CBC Radio in Canada. Ionova has covered deforestation\, climate change\, and the impact of commodity supply chains on people and the environment. Ionova previously reported from Argentina as an International Women’s Media Foundation fellow. \nAndreza De Souza Santos is a lecturer and senior fellow at the Latin American Centre of St. Antony’s College at Oxford. Director of the Brazilian Studies Programme\, she lectures on contemporary politics in Brazil\, as well as rural-urban migration\, informal housing\, and urban violence. Her research concerns the dynamics between formal and informal political and economic systems. De Souza Santos was previously a post-doctoral researcher at the School of Anthropology in Oxford. \nIshaan Tharoor is a columnist on the foreign desk of The Washington Post\, where he authors the Today’s WorldView newsletter and column. He was previously a senior editor and correspondent at Time magazine\, based first in Hong Kong and later in New York. He has also taught an undergraduate seminar at Georgetown University on digital affairs and the global age. Tharoor holds a bachelor’s degree from Yale University in history and ethnicity\, race\, and migration. \nMichael Scott (moderator) is senior dean and a fellow of Blackfriars Hall\, Oxford\, college adviser for postgraduate students\, and a member of the Las Casas Institute. He also serves as senior adviser to the president of Georgetown University.
