The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.  Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects.  Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan. 

In this meeting, we will discuss the first two chapters of the book Understanding Academic Freedom.

Iran has entered one of the most consequential crises in its recent history when the United States and Israel launched coordinated and unprovoked air strikes across the country on February 28. These strikes killed hundreds, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who ruled Iran since 1989. The country has retaliated with missile and drone attacks on U.S. bases, Israel, and other targets in the Gulf countries, raising the risk of a full-scale regional war.  How did we get here?

The Rohatyn Center on Global Affairs program on Global Economics, Development and Political Economy presents “The Little Things (0-3 Year Olds) that Can Have Big Impacts on China’s Human Capital and Economic Development” with Scott Rozelle.

Talk description:

Join us every Thursday at 5:30pm in Chellis House for a community-building meeting of students committed to sexual-violence prevention and supporting survivors. We will also use this time to plan the annual It Happens Here event, taking place on Friday, April 24th.

It Happens Here (IHH) is an annual anti-sexual violence tradition founded in 2012. The event aims to honor survivors by promoting awareness, solidarity, and healing through the sharing of stories. 

In this 2025 Tunisian film directed by Kaouther Ben Hania, Red Crescent volunteers receive an emergency call. A 6-year old girl is trapped in a car under IDF fire in Gaza, pleading for rescue. While trying to keep her on the line, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her.

Arrive early at 6:30pm for free pizza, popcorn, and snacks!

This will be a wide-ranging talk exploring the insights and challenges of practicing applied science and utilizing decision theory to aid natural resource management. I’ll begin with an overview of my career, an explanation of structured decision making, and the flavors of applied science I practice. From there, based on audience interest, I will provide greater detail on some selected applications and case studies of interest.
