UMIH announces upcoming screening of Sardanapalus, moderated by Dr. Michelle Faubert + upcoming events
by U Of M Institute For The Humanities 15 Oct '24

15 Oct '24

Dear Friends of UMIH, You’re invited to a screening of an upcoming stage performance of Byron’s SARDANAPALUS! Moderated by Dr. Michelle Faubert (ETFM) and supported by the Byron Society of America and the Keats-Shelley Association of America, this screening brings an innovative NYC live staging of Sardanapalus to Winnipeg. Our watch party will take place on Monday Oct. 28 at 3:45 PM in Tier 408. Parallel watch parties will be happening in Messolonghi, Thessaloniki, Buenos Aires, Malta, London, Oxford, Tokyo, Namibia, Pretoria, Nigeria, Hong Kong, Santiago, Warsaw, and Shanghai! We will be serving popcorn, admission is free, and all are welcome. Read on for more details about this exciting theatrical event! In other news, please note that tomorrow (Wednesday Oct. 16) is our first UMIH CRAFTERNOON. Drop by Tier 409 any time between 2:30 and 4:00 to try weaving on a mini-loom or bring your own craft to work on. All are welcome; we’ll have supplies and instructions ready and waiting. Craft has a central and arguably understudied role in many humanities disciplines. Whether you want to deepen your knowledge of the role of handmade things in the stories humans tell, engage in an afternoon of craftivism, or just take a break, we look forward to welcoming you. And, as we noted in last week’s message, on Thursday Oct. 24 at 2:30, UMIH will host an online workshop on “MANAGING CHALLENGES AS AN ABD HUMANITIES STUDENT.” Led by Dr. Emily Maggiacomo (U of Toronto), this workshop provides advice for ABD students in the humanities as they work toward the final step of their graduate degree. Participants can expect to learn about the writing process, time management, and helpful resources, as well as coping strategies for the hardships that often accompany writing a dissertation. While this workshop is intended for ABD students in the humanities, all are welcome to attend. Attendees can email umih(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:umih@umanitoba.ca> for the link. And, looking ahead to November, with thanks to the Department of English, Theatre, Film & Media, UMIH looks forward to welcoming representatives from Editors Canada for a career-themed event: “SO YOU WANT TO BE A PROFESSIONAL EDITOR? A Discussion with Lisa Hislop and Michelle Waitzman from Editors Canada.” This event will take place on Zoom on Friday Nov.1 at 2:30. Again, all are welcome to attend. Please email umih(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:umih@umanitoba.ca> for the link. And now, as promised, some information about Lord Byron’s SARDANAPALUS—courtesy of the Byron Society of America: Sardanapalus, set in ancient Assyria, is a testament to Byron’s fascination with history and his ability to weave complex themes into compelling drama. The play explores power, love, and cultural identity through the story of the last Assyrian king— a ruler more interested in pleasure than politics, whose reign faces a dramatic upheaval. Director Raz Golden, known for his innovative approach to classical texts, leads a stellar cast including Amir Arison, Amir Malaklou, and Sanjit De Silva. This production promises to breathe new life into Byron’s verse, making it resonate with modern audiences while preserving its Byronic essence. Thank you! We hope to see you at a UMIH event soon! Ekene Maduka Assistant to the Director Institute for the Humanities University of Manitoba 407 Tier Building 204 474 9599 umih(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:umih@ad.umanitoba.ca> umanitoba.ca/institutes/humanities<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/departments/humanities>

Reminder: Dr. Tom Hooper speaking this Friday on "Resisting Anti-Queer and Anti-Trans Hate"
by U Of M Institute For The Humanities 08 Oct '24

08 Oct '24

Dear Friends of UMIH, We write today to remind you that Dr. Tom Hooper (Department of Equity Studies, York University) will be speaking on "Resisting Anti-Queer and Anti-Trans Hate: Lessons from 1970s Toronto" this Friday (11 October, 2024) at 2:30pm in 108 St. John’s College. Everyone is welcome to attend this event, which is presented by the 2SLGBTQ+ Histories Series. Some details, shared by Dr. Hooper, follow. We hope to see you there! In January 1978 anti-Queer and anti-Trans activist Anita Bryant brought her "Save Our Children" campaign to Toronto. The previous year Bryant had organized against a Miami-Dade, Florida ordinance that protected against discrimination based on sexual orientation. Bryant's central argument was that this ordinance protected Queer and Trans people from discrimination in employment, including teachers and others who worked with children. The campaign to define Queer and Trans people as a threat to children worked, the Miami-Dade ordinance was repealed. Bryant was emboldened and embarked on a cross-continent campaign that also included a brief time Canada. Queer and Trans communities resisted these campaigns with various tactics. In this presentation I argue that studying our communities' resistance to Anita Bryant could be useful as our communities rally to resist anti-Queer and anti-Trans hate today. The 2SLGBTQ+ Histories Series is thankful to the following units at the University of Manitoba for their support of Dr. Hooper's lecture: Office of the Vice-Provost (Equity) Faculty of Arts Faculty of Education Faculty of Graduate Studies Department of English, Film, Theatre, and Media Department of History Women's and Gender Studies Program Institute for the Humanities The Centre for Human Rights Research UM Queer Best wishes, Ekene Maduka Assistant to the Director Institute for the Humanities University of Manitoba 407 Tier Building 204 474 9599 umih(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:umih@ad.umanitoba.ca> umanitoba.ca/institutes/humanities<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/departments/humanities>

UMIH’s Upcoming Crafternoon PLUS Student PD Events
by U Of M Institute For The Humanities 07 Oct '24

07 Oct '24

Dear Friends of UMIH, Please mark your calendars to join us in Tier 409 on Wednesday October 16 for our first Crafternoon. We’ll be sharing supplies, tools, and instructions for you to try your hand at weaving: a practice with a very long history and many points of connection to the humanities. You’re also welcome to bring a craft of your own to work on. Stop by anytime on Wed Oct 16 between 2:30 and 4:00 to take a break from your regular workday and connect with material culture. All are welcome. And ... we are pleased to announce two exciting upcoming events for students in the humanities. Please help us spread the word by sharing news of these events with students, especially graduate students. On Thursday October 24 at 2:30, UMIH will host a Zoom event on “Managing Challenges as an ABD Humanities Student.” Here is a description: Writing a dissertation poses unique challenges for graduate students. Without the camaraderie that can come with coursework or the clear timelines of candidacy exams, the writing stage can feel isolating and disorienting. Led by Dr. Emily Maggiacomo (U of Toronto), a recent PhD graduate from the University of Manitoba, this workshop provides advice for ABD students in the humanities as they work toward the final step of their graduate degree. Participants can expect to learn about the writing process, time management, and helpful resources, as well as coping strategies for the hardships that often accompany writing a dissertation. While this workshop is intended for ABD students in the humanities, all are welcome to attend. And, with thanks to our co-host, the Department of English, Theatre, Film & Media, UMIH looks forward to welcoming two representatives from Editors Canada for a career-themed event: “So you want to be a professional editor? A Discussion with Lisa Hislop and Michelle Waitzman from Editors Canada.” This event will take place on Zoom on Friday November 1 at 2:30. Please let your students know about this exciting opportunity. Participants can email umih(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:umih@umanitoba.ca> to receive the Zoom links for these events. You can use the same email address to let us know about any questions or suggestions you have for us. You can also stay informed about UMIH events by following us on Instagram @umih___ or by checking out our notice board on the fourth floor of Tier Building. We hope to see you soon!
