Harambee
Fri, Jan 27, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Norris Center, Louis Room, 1999 Campus Dr, Evanston
Swahili for ‘pull together’, the term "Harambee" is most often used as a rallying cry
in Kenya for people to come together in community and gather resources. While
Swahili is one of thousands of languages spoken in Africa and throughout the
African diaspora, here at Northwestern, we ‘pull together’ in the spirit of
community, history, and approbation of African, Afro-Carribean, and African
American culture. Bringing together students, staff, faculty and alumni, Harambee
kicks off Black History Month and features a variety of performances, music and
food for everyone to enjoy.

Davis, Sonny Rollins, Elmo Hope, Todd Dameron, Art Taylor, and Mal Waldron, to
name a few. Coltrane’s Prestige recordings as sideman and leader would ultimately

Exhibits, Theatre, and Film
Exhibits
Embracing the Chaos by Erin Elizabeth
Fri, Jan 6 to Sun, Feb 12, free
Dittmar Gallery, 1999 Campus Dr, Evanston
Contact: Debra Blade,
[email protected], 847491-2348
What is the purpose of celebration? Is it
empty, bound to disappoint, or is it ritualistic
punctuation of the mundane? Are routine
experiences less important than celebratory
moments that require preparation and
planning, the anticipation of which is akin to
emotional foreplay? Embracing the Chaos
explores these ideas and calls into question
what is truly important and how meaning is assigned to experience. Each piece is a
case study utilizing carriers of celebration such as cake, sprinkles, and gold leaf in
an attempt to understand the paradoxical hierarchy of experiential value. The
exhibition explores cultural, socioeconomic, and environmental issues such as
waste, consumerism, feminism, and social identity. Unpacking cultural
associations of celebration, the work capitalizes on the role of tactile and olfactory
senses in creating lasting memories and solidifying interpersonal bonds. Homage
is paid to monotony, banality is exalted, and celebration is subjugated with chaos.
The work teeters in an ambiguous chasm between expectation and reality,
desperately attempting to capture fleeting moments while simultaneously
surrendering to the inevitability of change.
Kader Attia
Sat, Jan 21 to Sun, Apr 16
Block Museum of Art, 40 Arts Circle Dr,
Evanston
Contact: Lindsay Bosch,
[email protected], 847-4674602
Kader Attia grew up moving between Algeria
and the suburbs of Paris, and uses this
experience of living as a part of two cultures as
a starting point to develop a dynamic practice
that reflects on cultural differences. He takes a
poetic and symbolic approach to exploring the
wide-ranging repercussions of Western cultural hegemony and colonialism on nonWestern cultures, investigating identity politics of historical and colonial eras, as
well as in our modern, globalized world. His debut solo exhibition was held in 1996
in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and since then his artistic career has gained
major international recognition with his inclusion in exhibitions such as the 50th
Venice Biennale (2003), 8th Lyon Biennial (2005), and solo exhibitions at BALTIC
Centre for Contemporary Art, Newcastle, UK (2007), the Institute of Contemporary
Art, Boston, MA (2007), Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Huarte, Spain (2008),
Savannah College of Art, Savannah, GA (2008), and the Henry Art Gallery,
University of Washington, Seattle, WA (2008). The artist lives and works in Berlin,
Germany.

Visiting Artist Lecture: Jill Magid
Tues, Jan 24, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Kresge Hall, Forum Room, 1880 Campus Dr, Evanston
Contact: Matthew Martin, [email protected], 847-491-7346
American artist Jill Magid’s work is deeply ingrained in her lived experience,
exploring and blurring the boundaries between art and life. Through her
performance-based practice, Magid has initiated intimate relations with a number
of organizations and structures of authority. She explores the emotional,
philosophical and legal tensions between the individual and ‘protective’
institutions, such as intelligence agencies or the police. To work alongside or within
large organizations, Magid makes use of institutional quirks, systemic loopholes
that allow her to make contact with people ‘on the inside’. Her work tends to be
characterized by the dynamics of seduction, the resulting narratives often taking
the form of a love story. It is typical of Magid’s practice that she follows the rules of
engagement with an institution to the letter – sometimes to the point of absurdity.
With solo exhibitions at institutions around the world including Tate Modern,
London; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Berkeley Museum of Art,
California; Tate Liverpool; the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam; Yvon
Lambert, Paris and New York; Gagosian Gallery, New York; and the Security and
Intelligence Agency of the Netherlands, Magid has received awards from the Fonds
Voor Beeldende Kunsten and the Netherland-American Foundation Fellowship
Fulbright Grant. Magid has participated in the Liverpool, Bucharest, Singapore,
Incheon, Gothenburg, and Performa Biennials. She is an Associate of the Art,
Design and the Public Domain program at the Graduate School of Design at
Harvard University, and a 2013-15 fellow at the Vera List Center for Art and
Politics. An adjunct teacher at Cooper Union, Magid is the author of four novellas.
Her work are included the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art,
Fundacion Jumex, and the Walker Art Center, among others.

Queen Clytemnestra, has been patiently awaiting her
husband’s return while planning her vengeance for their daughter’s murder. When
the King arrives, an unexpected surprise accompanies his fateful return to a warweary city and a house savagely torn apart by sorrow. M.F.A. Directing candidate
Sonny Das directs the premiere stage production of the BBC Radio 3 adaptation by
Simon Scardifield that examines war, justice, responsibility and revenge through
Aeschylus’ millennia-old classic Greek legend.
Stage Russia HD: Anna Karenina
Sat, Jan 28, 2:00 PM – 4:45 PM, $20 public/$16 NU
employee/$10 full-time student
Josephine Louis Theatre, 10 Arts Circle Dr, Evanston
This Vakhtangov Theatre production of Anna Karenina
is a modern dance interpretation of Leo Tolstoy's classic
novel, originally published in serial installments from
1875 to 1877 in the periodical The Russian Messenger.
Telling the life story of the titular Anna, a St. Petersburg
aristocrat, against the backdrop of late 19th century
Russian society, Tolstoy's novel is widely considered a pinnacle in realist fiction.
Cholina strives to find the equivalent of Tolstoy's words in harmony and movement,
as every gesture holds as much meaning as a word. The music of Alfred Schnittke
helps to reveal the characters of the drama and their depth, together with elegance
and mood corresponding to the amplitude of the novel.

One Book,
One Northwestern
We think we want information when we really want knowledge.
The signal is the truth. The noise is what distracts us from the truth.
Nate Silver, The Signal and the Noise (2015)
One Book, One Northwestern is a community-wide reading program hosted by the
Office of the President to engage the campus in a common conversation on a
carefully chosen, thought-provoking book.
The 2016-17 One Book One Northwestern choice is Nate Silver’s The Signal and the
Noise. Silver, the founder and editor-in-chief of FiveThirtyEight.com, will deliver a
keynote address at Northwestern on Thurs, October 6, shortly before the 2016
presidential election. It is a natural choice for Northwestern given the school’s
investments in interdisciplinary work, data
science, and quantitative analysis.
This entertaining, elegant book on statistics and
forecasting makes the world of data science
accessible and it is a reminder that statistics are
only as good as the people who wield them. Silver
breezily investigates how predictions are made in
a wide range of fields, including chess, baseball,
and politics. He offers hopeful examples but
weighs the process against a series of predicable
catastrophes, such as the September 11 attacks or
the earthquake in Fukushima, Japan.
Events related to The Signal and the Noise will
occur throughout the academic year.
People of Northwestern Photo Contest
Submit pictures and captions to [email protected]
People of Northwestern is a project based on the popular blog Humans of New
York. The project will document NU students' perceptions and experiences with big
data and predictions, just like Nate Silver’s predictions. If you would like to
participate in the People of NU project, please take a picture of yourself and submit
a brief caption responding to the question: "What impact has predictions using data
had on your life?" to [email protected]. Photos with their captions will
be displayed on the One Book Facebook page and in a NU Galleria exhibit on the
lower level of Norris University Center during the spring quarter.

How Should I Invest? What the Efficient Market Hypothesis Does and

Nate Silver re-articulates “It is hard to tell how many investors beat the stock
market over the long run... but we know that most cannot relative to their level of
risk...so unless you have inside information, you are probably better off investing
in an index fund.” Robert A. Korajczyk, Professor of Finance at Kellogg, will discuss.

Many people, including most pollsters and pundits, were surprised by the election
of Donald J. Trump as the next president of the United States. The question
of what comes next is hard to answer. With few specifics to scrutinize and much
uncertainty, we can’t be sure what will happen in relation to China, the Middle East,
and Latin America, or how the US will deal with important issues like global climate
change, immigration, or human rights. We will convene a panel of experts to
discuss global issues awaiting the Trump administration, and whether and how
campaign rhetoric might be translated into policy. Q&A to follow.

Contact: Jeff Cernucan, [email protected], 847-467-2770
The biblical story of Noah’s Flood served as a template for some of the very first
theories of global climate change in the Scientific Revolution, and it is once again
being used as a means of imagining and representing anthropogenic global climate
change in the 21st century in popular media. This talk considers the historical
origins of the use of flooding imagery and metaphors in contemporary climate
discourse and the consequences and implications of this recycling for climate
action. Lydia Barnett (PhD, Stanford University) is a historian of early modern
Europe whose work explores the intersections of science, religion, and the
environment in transnational contexts. Her current book project explores the
scientific imagination of global natural disasters at the turn of the 18th century.

Join us in for food and discussion on issues and implications related to the growing
number of global problems for which traditional analysis and “solutions” just don’t
seem to work. Sometimes termed “wicked” because they are so complex, messy,

problems have deep underlying political, social, economic, technological and
business considerations. Expanding on activity this past year by Buffett’s wicked
innovation working group, following a brief presentation, these sessions will stress
open discussion to stimulate and inform planning and action.
Steve Howard (Ohio University): Why “Modern” Muslims? Talking
about Modern Muslims: A Sudan Memoir
Wed, Jan 18, 12:00 PM – 1:15 PM
620 Library Place, Evanston
Contact: [email protected], 847-491-7323
Steve Howard wrote his book, Modern Muslims: A Sudan Memoir, in order to
contribute to the conversation from within progressive, democratic Islamic reform
movements, in this case, the Republican Brotherhood of Sudan. The movement had
its origins as a small political party promoting Sudan’s independence from Egypt
in the 1940s, founded by Mahmoud Mohammed Taha, an engineer. When his party
did not succeed in the pre-independence period, Taha sought a Sufi retreat in his
home town, and emerged with an understanding of the Qur’an that formed the
basis of a social reform movement which in turn generated much controversy in
Sudan. The movement remained small throughout its history, but it tried to make
an impact on the role of Sudan’s women in Islamic society, on education, and on
human rights issues. Taha was executed for the arcane crime of apostasy in 1985.
Howard will discuss this movement and his experience living with the Republican

brothers and sisters. He explains why he felt “memoir” was the appropriate genre
to capture his experience, and the role of memoir in the social science study of
Africa. Steve Howard is Director of the Center for International Studies at Ohio
University and Professor in the School of Media Studies. He has a PhD in sociology
and African Studies from Michigan State University and directed Ohio University’s
African Studies Program for 25 years. His academic work includes several
published articles on the Republican Brotherhood, as well as on children and
childhood in Africa.

Obscene poetry in medieval Arabic and US hip-hop is both extremely popular and
routinely condemned. It gets called "pornographic filth" by people who condemn
the attitudes they believe it promotes. But what if their naive reading (and implicit
bias) cause them to overlook the radical critique embedded in the genre itself?

Visiting Artist Lecture: Jill Magid

Kresge Hall, Forum Room, 1880 Campus Dr, Evanston
Contact: Matthew Martin, [email protected], 847-491-7346
American artist Jill Magid’s work is deeply ingrained in her lived experience,
exploring and blurring the boundaries between art and life. Through her
performance-based practice, Magid has initiated intimate relations with a number
of organizations and structures of authority. She explores the emotional,
philosophical and legal tensions between the individual and ‘protective’
institutions, such as intelligence agencies or the police. To work alongside or within
large organizations, Magid makes use of institutional quirks, systemic loopholes
that allow her to make contact with people ‘on the inside’. Her work tends to be
characterized by the dynamics of seduction, the resulting narratives often taking
the form of a love story. It is typical of Magid’s practice that she follows the rules of
engagement with an institution to the letter – sometimes to the point of absurdity.
With solo exhibitions at institutions around the world including Tate Modern,
London; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Berkeley Museum of Art,
California; Tate Liverpool; the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam; Yvon
Lambert, Paris and New York; Gagosian Gallery, New York; and the Security and
Intelligence Agency of the Netherlands, Magid has received awards from the Fonds
Voor Beeldende Kunsten and the Netherland-American Foundation Fellowship
Fulbright Grant. Magid has participated in the Liverpool, Bucharest, Singapore,
Incheon, Gothenburg, and Performa Biennials. She is an Associate of the Art,
Design and the Public Domain program at the Graduate School of Design at
Harvard University, and a 2013-15 fellow at the Vera List Center for Art and
Politics. An adjunct teacher at Cooper Union, Magid is the author of four novellas.
Her work are included the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art,
Fundacion Jumex, and the Walker Art Center, among others.
Esra Sarioglu (Ankara University, Turkey): New Women and Gender
Politics in Turkey
Wed, Jan 25, 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM, free
1902 Sheridan Rd, Evanston
Contact: Ayca Alemdaroglu, [email protected], 847-467-6148
This talk examines uncharted dynamics of women’s employment in Turkey in the
context of globalization. The recent rise of the urban economy dominated by
services rather than industrial production has prompted a change in women’s labor
force participation rates in Turkey towards more women working. However, the
transition to service economy has altered not only women’s employment trends,
but also their gender identities and the work culture in Turkey. Drawing upon
ethnographic fieldwork on saleswomen in Istanbul, I explore how gendered
dynamics of immaterial labor in Turkey has transformed working class
subjectivities as well as gendered organization of the workplace. To better identify
these changes, I employ the concept of the cultural politics of aesthetics and
sexuality at work. The cultural politics of aesthetics builds on and extends the
January 2017
23
notion of aesthetic labor, which brings worker habitus and immaterial labor
together. Cultural politics of sexuality, on the other hand, refers to the gendered
organization of work which is embedded with particular meanings and norms of
sexualized behavior, gendered interactions, and even language forms emerging
from the workplace. The concept of the cultural politics of aesthetics and sexuality
allow us to examine not only the feminine working class subjectivities and work
culture, emerging with the expansion of the service economy, but also gender
relations in the context of globalization, shaped to a certain extent by the AKP
government's conservative gender politics.

Contact: Yassaman Shemirani, [email protected]
Exo-planets are common, and they span a large range of compositions. The origins
of this compositional diversity are largely unconstrained. Among planets that are
Earth-like, a second question is how often such planets form hospitable to life. A
fraction of exo-planets are observed to be ‘physically habitable’, i.e. of the right
temperature and bulk composition to sustain a water-based prebiotic chemistry.
This does not automatically imply, however, that they are rich in the building blocks
of life, in organic molecules of different sizes and kinds, i.e. that they are chemically
habitable. In this talk I will argue that characterizing the chemistry of
protoplanetary disks, the formation sites of planets, is key to address both the
origins of planetary bulk compositions and the likelihood of finding organic matter
on planets.

Simple molecules at ultracold temperatures can now be manipulated with quantum
