An exhibition of contemporary photographic portraits opens the fall exhibition season at the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery on September 11, 2017. WHO ARE WE? IDENTITY AND THE CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT examines how, in our image-saturated world, photographs have increasingly played a primary role in shaping identity.An opening reception will be held on Friday, September 15 from 5 to 7 pm in conjunction with Vanderbilt Parents’ and Family Weekend and Fall for the Arts. The exhibition will be on view through December 7, 2017.

As noted by Joseph Mella, director and curator, “Portraits, in all their diversity, serve not only the needs of the sitter and artist, but also those of the viewer. Portraits give us clues to who we are as humans and the possibilities of what we could become.” Instagram and other forms of social media dominate the cultural landscape while the reliance on photography in our own lives increasingly presents questions about representation and identity that artists continue to navigate in surprising ways. Who are we, indeed, and what do we wish to become, and just how easy can it be to craft our own identities?

The first in a three-part series on portraiture, WHO ARE WE? IDENTITY AND THE CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT is organized by the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery and curated by Joseph S. Mella, director, with support provided by The Ingram Commons and Leslie Cecil and Creighton Michael, MA’76.

Winter often provides Tennesseans with some of the best sky-viewing conditions, and the winter sky obliges with a plethora of bright and interesting objects.  This time of year also brings the holiday season, when we are often asked what telescope would be a great gift for the budding astronomer, especially if on a budget. This talk will tackle both of these topics as we start out with a short discussion of telescope, viewing aid, and accessory recommendations, then some of the prime wintertime objects that one may view with a backyard telescope will be discussed, including how to find the objects and a bit of background information pertaining to each.

After a short Q & A session, we will have additional staff and volunteers at stations so that attendees may familiarize themselves with some of the discussed astronomical equipment.  Weather permitting, we will have viewing through the Dyer Observatory Seyfert Telescope.

This talk will be given by Dr. William (Billy) Teets, the outreach astronomer at Vanderbilt University’s Dyer Observatory.  Billy was born and raised in Clarksville, Tennessee, and received his B.S. in Physics in 2004 from Austin Peay State University.  He was accepted to the Vanderbilt University graduate program in 2005 and received his Ph.D. in (astro)physics in 2012.  He has worked at Dyer Observatory since 2006, starting as a part-time student helper and then getting hired on as the staff astronomer in late 2012.  As Dyer’s outreach astronomer, you may find Billy leading tours around the observatory, giving public lectures, operating myriad telescopes, programming a new exhibit...the list goes on!

This is a rain or shine event. Entry is by guest list--no printed ticket needed. No ticket refunds, but you may transfer your ticket to another individual, just have them check in under your name. Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Caught Up: Girls, Surveillance, and Wraparound Incarceration

Wednesday, November 8 at 4:10 pm

Kissam Multipurpose Room

From home, to school, to juvenile detention center, and back again. Follow the lives of fifty Latina girls living forty miles outside of Los Angeles, California, as they are inadvertently caught up in the school-to-prison pipeline. Their experiences in the connected programs between “El Valle” Juvenile Detention Center and “Legacy” Community School reveal the accelerated fusion of California schools and institutions of confinement. The girls participate in well-intentioned wraparound services designed to provide them with support at home, at school, and in the detention center. But these services may more closely resemble the phenomenon of wraparound incarceration, in which students, despite leaving the actual detention center, cannot escape the surveillance of formal detention, and are thereby slowly pushed away from traditional schooling and a productive life course. 

This event is sponsored by the Latino and Latina Studies Program, the Afro-Hispanic Review, the Department of English, The Cal Turner Program for Moral Leadership, and Women’s and Gender Studies.

Key Lecture Points
·Modality agnostic drug discovery means bringing the best modality to a given biological target
· Peptide, oligonucleotide and bioconjugate modalities realizing increasing clinical success and address complex biology
· Organic and medicinal chemists have an important role to play in the discovery and optimization of these alternative modalities
· The targeted delivery of glucocorticoids to immune cells represents an exciting challenge for chemists to develop novel linker and payload strategies

Linking Pasts with Historical Gazetteers

The “spatial turn” within the social sciences, stimulated in the 1990s by the advent of geographic information systems, has increasingly spread to many fields in the humanities. In order to explore geospatial questions in their research, historians, literary scholars, archaeologists, and philologists are encoding place references found in the historical texts, maps, and tabular records that comprise their sources. In order for spatial patterns to be discovered and visualized in maps, or analyzed in specialized spatial software, those tagged places must be georeferenced—associated with one or more physical locations specified by geographic coordinates or topology. For modern source documents, this set of tasks has become fairly routine, but historical sources present distinctive challenges: place names and administrative boundaries change continually, and within any given time period, names can have numerous language and spelling variants; uncertainty in many forms is endemic.

In this talk, Karl will describe how a global community of historical scholars is collectively meeting those challenges, and leveraging Linked Open Data publication practice to connect and share the historical gazetteer datasets produced in the course of their research. Karl will also introduce the World-Historical Gazetteer, a three-year project just under way at the University of Pittsburgh’s World History Center that will become a significant node in the emerging web of historical gazetteers (http://whgazetteer.org).

An Occupational Health Nurse will be available with the Late Night Cart from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on 11/15/2017 to provide Flu, Hep-B, MMR, TDAP, and TB vaccines to Vanderbilt faculty and staff. They will also provide services to hospital volunteers, as well.

Vanderbilt University Department of Art presents "So all of this is all my fault"? - Elaine Bradford - Space 204 Gallery, E. Bronson Ingram Studio Arts Center, 1204 25th Avenue South, Nashville, TN  37212.  

Opening Reception - October 19. 2017 at 4:00 pm.

An exhibition of contemporary photographic portraits opens the fall exhibition season at the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery on September 11, 2017. WHO ARE WE? IDENTITY AND THE CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT examines how, in our image-saturated world, photographs have increasingly played a primary role in shaping identity.An opening reception will be held on Friday, September 15 from 5 to 7 pm in conjunction with Vanderbilt Parents’ and Family Weekend and Fall for the Arts. The exhibition will be on view through December 7, 2017.

As noted by Joseph Mella, director and curator, “Portraits, in all their diversity, serve not only the needs of the sitter and artist, but also those of the viewer. Portraits give us clues to who we are as humans and the possibilities of what we could become.” Instagram and other forms of social media dominate the cultural landscape while the reliance on photography in our own lives increasingly presents questions about representation and identity that artists continue to navigate in surprising ways. Who are we, indeed, and what do we wish to become, and just how easy can it be to craft our own identities?

The first in a three-part series on portraiture, WHO ARE WE? IDENTITY AND THE CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT is organized by the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery and curated by Joseph S. Mella, director, with support provided by The Ingram Commons and Leslie Cecil and Creighton Michael, MA’76.

An exhibition of contemporary photographic portraits opens the fall exhibition season at the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery on September 11, 2017. WHO ARE WE? IDENTITY AND THE CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT examines how, in our image-saturated world, photographs have increasingly played a primary role in shaping identity.An opening reception will be held on Friday, September 15 from 5 to 7 pm in conjunction with Vanderbilt Parents’ and Family Weekend and Fall for the Arts. The exhibition will be on view through December 7, 2017.

As noted by Joseph Mella, director and curator, “Portraits, in all their diversity, serve not only the needs of the sitter and artist, but also those of the viewer. Portraits give us clues to who we are as humans and the possibilities of what we could become.” Instagram and other forms of social media dominate the cultural landscape while the reliance on photography in our own lives increasingly presents questions about representation and identity that artists continue to navigate in surprising ways. Who are we, indeed, and what do we wish to become, and just how easy can it be to craft our own identities?

The first in a three-part series on portraiture, WHO ARE WE? IDENTITY AND THE CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT is organized by the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery and curated by Joseph S. Mella, director, with support provided by The Ingram Commons and Leslie Cecil and Creighton Michael, MA’76.
