Works from the Caribbean, West Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands feature shared themes of trans-oceanic communication, diasporas, transnationalism, colonialism, and resistance. This exhibition aims to provide space for multiple perspectives through public label submissions (ask a staff member!).

War, Revolution, and the Heart of China, 1937–1948: The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese WoodcutsThis exhibition, an in-depth examination of the modern woodcut movement in the decades leading up to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, will be the first time that one of Picker Art Gallery’s most singular and important collections will be shown in its entirety.The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese Woodcuts contains over 200 works made in China between 1937 and 1948. They were given to The Picker Art Gallery by Professor Emeritus Theodore Herman, who lived in the country during this period, and his wife, Evelyn Mary Chen Shiying Herman. Professor Herman taught at Colgate from 1954 to 1981 in the Geography Department and was the founding director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program.Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the exhibition of the Herman collection is an extraordinary resource for the study of Chinese art and of pre-Liberation history. The prints in the exhibition can be seen as direct links to the historical events taking place in China in the years leading up to Liberation. Images made between 1937 and 1945 in areas controlled by the Chinese Nationalist forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War chronicle the progress of the war and promoted good relations between the army and the people; others, produced in the areas controlled by the Communist Red Army, encourage resistance against the Japanese but also illustrate how Chinese society could be transformed through socialism; those prints produced during the Civil War expose many injustices amid the post-war social and political upheavals. Finally, many of the images in the exhibition explore wide-ranging subjects and a variety of techniques that offer glimpses into quotidian Chinese life during this period.This exhibition is curated by Leslie Ann Eliet. - 10:00 AM7hWar, Revolution, and the Heart of China, 1937-1948Today's Events | Picker Art Gallery, Dana Arts Center, 2nd floor

The Division of Social Sciences Fall 2024 Luncheon Seminar Series (Brown Bags) Presents:September 26th- 12-1pm in 27 Persson Hall AuditoriumJeremy Fortier (POSC)Visiting Assistant Professor of Political ScienceTitle: Why to Be a Civic ConstitutionalistDescription: This paper argues that "civic constitutionalism" constitutes a cohesive and challenging new body of scholarship that can contribute to a range of debates in public policy, political theory, and civic education. In particular, the paper argues that the civic constitutionalist framework can show scholars how to balance competing approaches to civic engagement. The first approach prioritizes working to improve policy outcomes (showing that democratic politics can produce concrete solutions to public policy problems, with benefits that are recognized by everyone impacted by those policies, irrespective of partisan affiliation). The second approach is focused on addressing cultural background conditions (cultivating a common world of shared habits and sensibilities, where unavoidable disagreements can be managed – but not definitely resolved – through meditating institutions, especially political parties). The paper contends that civic constitutionalism balances these imperatives in a way that draws on strengths of research from the social sciences (where disciplines such as Economics tend to focus on policy outcomes) with virtues of scholarship in the humanities (where disciplines such as Philosophy tend to focus on cultural background conditions). The paper also uses civic constitutionalism to assess recent proposals for civic education in post-secondary institutions, ranging from the Stanford Civics Initiative (a general education course requirement on citizenship, with a common syllabus for all first-year students at Stanford) to the new civics centers at public universities in several red states (e.g., the School of Civic Life and Leadership at UNC Chapel Hill).Lunch provided, while supplies last.The next talk in this series is on October 10th with Graham Hodges, George Dorland Langdon Jr. Professor of History. - 12:00 PM1hWhy to Be a Civic ConstitutionalistAcademics | Persson Hall, 27 Auditorium- Ground Floor
