Description
An account of the resource
The story of HIV/AIDS is likely the most cogent corporeal metaphor for the turn of the 21st century, a story of gender, race, class, identity, access and institutional power. It’s the story of the truths of the soul and the lies of the mind. But where does this story sit on the current digital landscape—an intricate ecosystem of power narratives representing fantasias of egalitarianism, where machine-learning has torqued social meaning into information conduits of Möbius non-orientability? How do we re-locate one of our most defining and ongoing societal struggles in the present?
Avram Finkelstein is an artist, activist and writer living in Brooklyn, and a founding member of the Silence=Death and Gran Fury collectives. His book, After Silence: A History of AIDS Through its Images, is available through University of California Press, and was nominated for an International Center of Photography' 2018 Infinity Award in Critical Writing and Research, and a 30th Annual Lambda Literary Award in LGBT Nonfiction.

3 'Serious' Questions with Catherine D'Ignazio and
Lauren Klein
Neilly Author Series speakers D’Ignazio and Klein talk past
jobs, hidden talents, and making things ‘suck’ less.
March 19, 2021
Author: Cook, Matthew
It’s tax season. Time to dig up those W-2s, 1098s,
and that clip of Seinfeld that talks about write-offs.
The scene’s premise is most non-CPAs don’t
understand how write-offs work. An alternative
version of this scene—perhaps one that occurs in
“bizzaro world”—could have Jerry and Kramer
discussing data science.
Jerry: So, you really think artificial intelligence has
created a fair hiring process?
Kramer: The data scientists make sure it is.
Jerry: How?
Kramer: They plug in all the data.
Jerry: What data?
Kramer: Jerry, all these big companies use data scientists to create the algorithms that make the selections.
Jerry: You don't even know what an algorithm is.
Kramer: Do you?
Jerry: No. I don't.
�Kramer: But the data scientists do, and they are the ones creating them.
In this conversation, Kramer’s “don’t worry; someone is taking care of it” attitude has troubling implications
and raises a lot more questions. Who’s doing the science? Who’s the science for? Whose interests does the
science serve? These questions are explored in Data Feminism.
Data Feminism authors Catherine D’Ignazio, assistant professor of urban science and planning at MIT, and
Lauren Klein, associate professor in English and quantitative theory and methods at Emory University, offer a
look at data science and data ethics through a lens of intersectional feminism. And they’re bringing that
perspective to the University of Rochester next month.
On April 22, the River Campus Libraries, in collaboration with the Women’s Network and Goergen Institute
for Data Science, will host a virtual talk from D’Ignazio and Klein as part of the Neilly Author Series.
Sound good? Register for the talk now.
Before they appear on a screen near you, D’Ignazio and Klein agreed to answer some very serious questions
that have almost nothing to do with data science.
Work histories are rarely simple things. You are both professors now, but you weren't always in
academia. What were you in some of your previous professional lives?
Catherine: Software developer, independent artist, technical project manager, ran a technology and art
gallery, ran educational technology workshops for K-12 teachers, taught adjunct at too many colleges to
mention, and I once worked at Urban Outfitter's for a total of three days.
Lauren: I’ve also taken a long and winding path to academia. My favorite job (not including this one, of
course) was being a bike messenger in New York City in the early 2000s. I also worked at a digital music
production house and an early smart home technology company. After both went out of business in rapid
succession, I decided that the tech industry was not worth my while, so I went back to grad school. You’ll
never believe what happened next! Oh, wait. Yes, you will.
The pandemic has inspired many skill-building endeavors, but we’re interested in skills you already have
that may be surprising. What can you tell us?
Catherine: I am surprisingly good at handstands and have taught handstand workshops. I firmly believe in
the power and health benefits of going upside-down.
Lauren: When I was a kid, I had a business doing magic shows for younger kids’ birthday parties. (My sister is
six years younger than I am, so between her and her friends, I had a built-in market). At the time, I had a
pretty deep repertoire of balloon animals that I could make. I can still make a decent poodle.
�A self-proclaimed “hacker mama,” Catherine has organized several women’s health hackathons,
including “Make the Breast Pump Not Suck.” Is there other technology, a policy, or something else—not
necessarily in the world of women’s health—that you would love to help “suck” less?
Lauren: So many things in the world of women’s health and work and life need to suck less. Childcare, for
one. It’s so incredibly necessary for everything that we do, and yet it’s either incredibly expensive or hard to
access or both. And that’s only from the perspective of the parent. Childcare workers are not paid enough,
let alone valued. It’s a mess all around, and this year has made it pretty clear that something has to change.
Catherine: +1 to Lauren's point! Another thing that could stand to suck less are family leave policies. That's
actually one of the things that surfaced at the breast pump hackathon. If the U.S. had paid parental leave for
birth parents (which, I want to point out, every single other country in the world has), then breastfeeding
parents wouldn't need to use these stupid contraptions to suck milk out of our breasts in server room
closets. ∎

River Campus Libraries
3 ‘Serious’ Questions with Ed Hajim
The Neilly Author Series memoirist talks about his ‘score’ in
2020, golf at Augusta National, and his heroes.
February 26, 2021
Author: Cook, Matthew
Better than good. Better than great. He’s from the
Class of ʼ58. (See, class yells.) He’s financier,
philanthropist, and University of Rochester alumnus
Ed Hajim.
Sound familiar? That’s probably because Hajim’s
service and philanthropy at Rochester have made
“Hajim” a household name at the University. He
served on the University Board of Trustees for
almost three decades, during which he was
chairman for eight years (2008–2016). He is the
Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences namesake, an honor he earned in 2008 when
he made a $30 million commitment to the University. (This is just the tip of the gift-berg. Hajim and his wife,
Barbara, have provided more than 200 scholarships to Rochester students and, at the libraries, support for
the Barbara J. Burger iZone, the River Campus Libraries innovation program and space.) He is also the
namesake of the Hajim School’s quadrangle, where you can find his statue. And he’s won numerous
University awards, including the Eastman Medal (2016), the Arts, Sciences & Engineering Dean’s Medal
(2013), and the Simon Business School’s David T. Kearns Medal of Distinction (2009), among others.
In 2015, Hajim was recognized at the national level by the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished
Americans in part for his “remarkable achievements in the face of adversity.” To say Hajim has faced
“adversity” is saying the least. If you don’t know his personal story, you can now read it because Hajim has
put it to paper in his memoir, On the Road Less Traveled: An Unlikely Journey from the Orphanage to the
Boardroom.
Hajim’s journey starts at age three when he was kidnapped by his father, who told Ed that his mother was
dead and drove him across the country. And as the book’s title suggests, things only got worse.
�Abandoned and on his own, Hajim spent much of his youth learning lessons in self-preservation and selfreliance. The story details his service in the U.S. Navy, college education, and climb up the corporate world’s
ladder. There’s even the discovery of a long-kept family secret.
On March 11, Hajim will bring his story to Rochester’s virtual campus as the River Campus Libraries’ Neilly
Author Series Lecturer. Before joining us on Zoom, he faced the customary three “serious” questions.
It wasn’t easy, but we made it to 2021. In your book, you mention liking to take stock of the previous year
—what you accomplished and what you didn’t—and look ahead. Knowing you don’t “keep score” and
adjusting for the pandemic, how did you do, and what’s the plan for this year?
The biggest thing I accomplished was my book, a project which took nearly seven years. The pandemic and
not having to travel gave me a great deal more free time to work on it. I also got a lot more reading time. I
read books—mostly historical fiction, [Leon] Uris and [Ken] Follett—that have been piling up for years.
Something I did not do is spend enough time with some of my business activities. Not being able to “go to
the office” made it much more difficult to help and kept me from getting quality time with key people. I also
didn’t get to see my children and grandchildren as much as I would have liked. This year will be the “Year of
the Book,” and I’ll have to think about whether I go ahead with two other manuscripts I have produced. I
need to decide if my effort will really help readers better navigate the journey of life or if this is something I’m
doing to satisfy myself. I also need to think about being more of a public figure and if that is something I want
and can handle since it has never been something I have pursued in my life. To live happy is to live hidden.
We’re only a couple of months away from the golf season’s first and most beloved major championship,
The Masters. If you were invited to play a pre-tournament round, at Augusta, with any three people,
whose completing your foursome?
I have already played Augusta once. I played two rounds. During the first round, I was so excited I could
hardly play. It was beautiful. I have memories from almost every hole. Even with caddies, the greens were
impossible. The next day I settled down and shot a 91; I even made par on the famous 16th hole. What I
remember most was the absolute beauty of the course. Also, how it was not as difficult as I thought—except
for the greens, and we obviously did not play from the pro’s tees.
If I could play again with anyone, I would choose Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player because I
think they’re the greatest golfers of all time. I might even substitute Arnold Palmer for Nicklaus. I would ride
with Player or Palmer since they seem easy-going. For the second round, I might invite Phil Mickelson so I
could play with another lefty.
Your success as a businessman and generosity as a philanthropist have made you an aspirational figure
for young people. Who was that person for you growing up, and who is that person for you now?
�My first heroes were those on the silver screen. Between the ages of five and ten years old, the highlight of
the week was a trip to the movies. I saw two for 25 cents. In the westerns and war movies, the good guys
always did the right thing and normally survived. That resonated with me. But throughout my life I collected
the good parts of people who I admired, like the generosity and concern of “the boss” at my last orphanage.
There was also Oscar Minor a [mechanical engineering] Rochester professor, who took me under his wing
and helped me both academically and with my extracurricular activities; a naval commander, who taught me
the rules, their importance, and why they had to be followed to the letter; a [Harvard Business School]
professor who introduced me to the excitement of putting together a strategy; the many business associates
whose input I could not do without. And then there’s the person who has been there all along—my wife,
Barbara. Without her partnership and love I would not be where I am today. ∎

River Campus Libraries
Neilly Author Series: Paul Lauter
He was fired, busted, published, and tenured in the 1960s.
He gives the details in his new book.
October 29, 2020
Come gather ’round people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the
bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimmin’ or you'll sink like a
stone
For the times they are a-changin’
Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changin’” gave a voice to the counterculture that defined the 1960s.
Almost anthemic in its theme, the song speaks to the many protests and demonstrations that included
people fighting for civil rights, a new wave of feminism, and opposition to the Vietnam War. The 60s was a
decade of social and political movements, and Paul Lauter was an active participant.
Lauter, the Allan K. and Gwendolyn Miles Smith Professor Emeritus at Trinity College, worked as Director of
Peace Studies and as Peace Education Secretary in the Chicago region for the American Friends Service
Committee. He was the national director of two activist peace organizations (Resist and the U.S.
Servicemen's Fund), he worked in freedom schools and workshops in Mississippi, and he became director of
the first community-controlled school project in the nation. He was also one of The Feminist Press founders,
and he was active in the faculty and staff union at the State University of New York.
On Twitter, he describes himself as “Fired, busted, published, and tenured in the 1960s.” All of that comes
into play in his new book Our Sixties: An Activist’s History.
Our Sixties examines the unrest and upheaval in the titular period and how Lauter’s participation in social
justice struggles shaped his life. Lately, it could be said that he’s having a bit of déjà vu. His first experience
with Black Lives Matter (BLM) was in Mississippi in 1964.
�In a recent opinion piece for the Bergen Record, Lauter points out that BLM is only new as an organization;
the ideas it’s fighting for are decades old. “Black Lives Matter necessarily leads us to consider, and perhaps
act upon, the many issues effectively named by those three words,” Lauter writes. He then calls attention to
the tax and health systems and funding for police departments and the military. “To solve the social and
economic questions raised by Black Lives Matter, we must address all these issues now before us.”
Lauter is joining the Neilly Author Series to discuss the exploits, victories, implications, and sometimes, the
failings of past and present movements on November 10 at 7:00 p.m., EDT.
The virtual talk is free and open to the public. Register here. ∎

River Campus Libraries
3 'Serious' Questions with Emily Bernard
The Nashville-born author talks about being alone in the
pandemic, Zoom intrigue, and Fisk University.
September 30, 2020
Author: Cook, Matthew
Since early March, Black lives have been at the
forefront of many Rochester minds, grappling with
the deaths of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and
most recently, one of their own community
members, Daniel Prude. These events, and
subsequent demonstrations and protests held
across the country, have been catalysts for new
conversation on and examination of the Black
experience. River Campus Libraries’ next Neilly
Series author, Emily Bernard, explores the subjects
of race and being Black in America in her memoir
Black Is the Body: Stories from My
Grandmother’s Time, My Mother’s Time, and
Mine.
Inspired by a random stabbing in a New Haven café, Black Is the Body covers Bernard’s experience growing
up Black in Nashville, her marriage to a white man, and other topics rooted in race through 12 essays. On
October 14, Bernard will share what she’s learned about American race relations, the difference between a
situation and a story, and the relationship between resilience, writing, and healing in a virtual Neilly Author
Series lecture.
In advance of her talk, Bernard was kind enough to tackle three “serious” questions from Tower Talk Editor
Matt Cook.
To cope with the pandemic, people have picked up new hobbies, baked a year’s worth of bread, invested
in home gyms, and streamed hundreds of hours of television. What have you been doing to help you
weather the current norm?
�This may sound strange, but I am learning how to be alone. Now, I share my house with my husband, two
daughters, as well as our dog and cats. So, I am rarely alone in a literal way, but all of this togetherness has
actually forced me to confront how much my sense of self is bound up in my connections with others. I am
working to cultivate stillness; even though I am trapped in the house as much as anyone else, I still find
myself inclined to fill up my days with lots of activity. Being in a situation in which I am stripped of options and
the large variety of company that I, in ordinary times, seek out, has taught me that what I actually need is less
of everything that anyone else can give me, and more of what I can provide for myself.
Although the University of Vermont has reopened its campus, you, as the Julian Lindsay Green & Gold
Professor of English, have undoubtedly had your share of Zoom meetings and classes. What is your
biggest Zoom pet peeve?
I have done approximately one billion Zoom/Instagram/FaceTime interviews, book groups, readings, and
discussions since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. Even after all of these months, I still find the paradox
of remote intimacy mostly intriguing. When it comes to the classroom, Zoom meetings mean that we are
inches away from each other, much closer than we would ever be in real life (this is particularly true for oneon-one meetings). At the same time, because most of these students I have never seen in real time, I have
no idea how tall they are, or even really what they look like. I mean, I can see their faces, but knowing what
someone looks like requires being able to see something other than their features. But as much as I miss
getting to know my students in real time, I remain interested in this new way of relating. A few weeks ago, I
might have responded to this question by saying, “I hate it when my students keep their cameras off and I
can’t see their faces.” But a few weeks in, I’ve learned to accept this and find myself concentrating much
more on the beauty of the writing I am teaching as opposed to the reactions of my students.
Nashville, Tennessee is perhaps most known for being a sort of Mecca for country music fans. As
someone who grew up there, is there something else it should be known for instead?
Nashville is the site of some of the earliest important lunch-counter sit-ins and protests during the civil rights
movement, spearheaded by Diane Nash and John Lewis, who were both students at Fisk. To me, Fisk
University is the shimmering treasure of Nashville, one of the nation’s oldest HBCUs and the locus of layers
of black political thought and creative innovation. I’m biased, maybe, because my parents both attended
Fisk, and I grew up on their stories about all of the artists, writers, and leaders that it produced. They are my
creative ancestors; all of my writing is just about trying to live up to the example they set. ∎

Dani Shapiro
Date: Monday, October 14, 2019
Time: 6:00p.m.
Location: Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
What makes a person a person? What combination of heredity and environment, nature and
nurture, shapes our lives and forms our identity? After a lifetime spent writing fiction and
memoir about the corrosive power of secrets within families, Dani Shapiro stumbled upon a
massive family secret of her own: her beloved father was not her father. As she writes
in Inheritance: “I always knew there was a secret. What I didn’t know: the secret was me.”
This lecture delves into Shapiro’s own detective story as she discovers a radically different
truth than the one she had known, and shines a spotlight on the complex, ethical
ramifications of this moment in history, during which science and technology have outpaced
the human heart's capacity to contend with what we may discover.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot.
For more information, call 585-275-4461.
Sponsored by Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowments and the River Campus
Libraries.

Date: Wednesday, November 6, 2019
Time: 7:00p.m.
Location: Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
In 1818, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, creating the iconic concept, and incidentally
creating modern science fiction. In 1935, Elsa Lanchester married the monster.
And now, Daniel M. Kimmel ’77 updates the myth, and tells the tale from the point of view
of the most important character: the Father of the Bride of Frankenstein.
This is not Ms. Shelley’s monster, but a dazzling urbanite, literate and thoughtful… and
Jewish?
Film critic and 2018 Skylark Award (formally known as the Edward E. Smith Memorial
Award for Imaginative Fiction) winner Daniel M. Kimmel ‘77 will speak about science fiction,
his
creative process, and his latest work, “Father of the Bride of Frankenstein.”

Time: 6:00p.m.
Location: Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
Lauren Alexandra Haley is a violinist, pedagogy expert, and the author of Kids Aren’t Lazy:
Developing Motivation & Talent Through Music.
In redefining motivation as the learned rush of joy from conquering challenges, and talent as
the sum of current skills that makes learning new ones easier, Haley reframes the way
parents and educators understand the power of music education. With an emphasis on
communication, Kids Aren’t Lazy empowers families and teachers with breakthrough
strategies for fostering musical proficiency and cultivating healthy behavioral patterns in all
areas of study.

Neilly Author Series
About Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly
In a wonderful millennium gift, Life Trustee Andrew H. Neilly and his wife, Janet, established a
named, endowed library position at the University of Rochester with a $1 million gift. The Andrew
H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Dean of River Campus Libraries Endowment is used by the dean to
support library programs designed to contribute to the intellectual life of the University and to
enhance the libraries' collections related to academic initiatives. With this purpose, the Neilly
Series was established in 2001.
The libraries have been the focus of Andy Neilly's interest at the University for many years. During
the University's Campaign for the '90s, Andy and his co-chair and good friend, Jack Keil, raised
several million dollars in support of the libraries.
A graduate of the Class of 1947, Andy had a distinguished career in the field of publishing, serving
as president, CEO, and vice chairman of the board of John Wiley & Sons in New York City before
his retirement in 1995. Both he and Janet grew up in Rochester. Janet attended William Smith
College and Northwestern University. She is a founder of Connecticut Hospice.
Andy has noted on many occasions, "The library is the key to the University. It is the center for
everything else that happens here."

Dani Shapiro
Date: Monday, October 14, 2019
Time: 6:00p.m.
Location: Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
What makes a person a person? What combination of heredity and environment, nature and
nurture, shapes our lives and forms our identity? After a lifetime spent writing fiction and
memoir about the corrosive power of secrets within families, Dani Shapiro stumbled upon a
massive family secret of her own: her beloved father was not her father. As she writes
in Inheritance: “I always knew there was a secret. What I didn’t know: the secret was me.”
This lecture delves into Shapiro’s own detective story as she discovers a radically different
truth than the one she had known, and shines a spotlight on the complex, ethical
ramifications of this moment in history, during which science and technology have outpaced
the human heart's capacity to contend with what we may discover.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot.
For more information, call 585-275-4461.
Sponsored by Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowments and the River Campus
Libraries.
Daniel M. Kimmel
Date: Wednesday, November 6, 2019
Time: 7:00p.m.
Location: Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
In 1818, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, creating the iconic concept, and incidentally
creating modern science fiction. In 1935, Elsa Lanchester married the monster.
And now, Daniel M. Kimmel ’77 updates the myth, and tells the tale from the point of view
of the most important character: the Father of the Bride of Frankenstein.
This is not Ms. Shelley’s monster, but a dazzling urbanite, literate and thoughtful… and
Jewish?
Film critic and 2018 Skylark Award (formally known as the Edward E. Smith Memorial
Award for Imaginative Fiction) winner Daniel M. Kimmel ‘77 will speak about science fiction,
his
creative process, and his latest work, “Father of the Bride of Frankenstein.”
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot.
For more information, call 585-275-4461.

Emily Bernard
Date: Thursday, April 9, 2020
Time: 6:00p.m.
Location: Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
As a graduate student, Emily Bernard was the victim of a random stabbing in a New Haven
café. In this powerful lecture, she shares the story of her journey to ultimately make sense of
this bizarre act of violence, including what it taught her about American race relations, the
difference between a situation and a story, and the relationship between resilience, writing,
and healing. Her latest book, Black is the Body, consists of 13 powerful essays conceived while
Bernard was hospitalized after the stabbing.
Emily Bernard was born and grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and received her PhD in
American studies from Yale University. She has been the recipient of grants from the Ford
Foundation, the NEH, and a W. E. B. Du Bois Resident Fellowship at Harvard University. She is
the Julian Lindsay Green & Good Professor of English at the University of Vermont.

Neilly Series Lecture: Aubrey Anable
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
April 18, 2019 6:00pm to 7:30pm
Aubrey Anable applies affect theory to game studies, arguing that
video games let us “rehearse” feelings, states, and emotions that
give new tones and textures to our everyday lives and
interactions with digital devices. Rather than seeing video games
as an escape from reality, Anable demonstrates how they have
been intimately tied to our emotional landscape since digital
computers emerged.
Her book, Playing with Feelings traces a compelling intellectual
history and uses affect theory to rethink some core game studies
debates. Aubrey Anable’s insights on casual, indie, and art games
are particularly important at this historical moment in game
studies.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is
available in the Library Lot.

(Click to view on the University of Rochester's YouTube.edu channel.)
September 23—Sanford Thatcher
Sanford Thatcher will discuss open access, which is viewed by librarians and their allies in
academic administration as an antidote to the domination of certain sectors of higher education
publishing by a few large internationally active companies. The talk will explore the various
dimensions of the phenomenon, including the relative absence of discussion about open access
as it affects book publishing, and attempt an assessment of its promises and pitfalls as a way
to effect change to a new model, or models.
Thatcher is the former director of Penn State University Press. His most significant
achievement was to forge a working relationship with the Penn State Libraries that resulted in
the joint launching of the Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing in 2005, followed by the merger
of the Press into the Libraries later that year. He has served on many boards, including the Copyright Committee
of the Association of American University Presses, the Association of American Publishers, and the Association for
Copyright Enforcement, overseeing the landmark suit against Texaco. In retirement, he will continue to work
part-time as an acquiring editor in social sciences for Penn State University Press. This lecture celebrates the
20th Anniversary of the University of Rochester Press.

March 4—Abraham Verghese
Abraham Verghese is a renowned physician, best-selling author, and Professor for the Theory
and Practice of Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He lectures widely on
the importance of the doctor-patient relationship, on the samaritan function of physicians, and
on where meaning resides in a medical life
He will discuss his latest work, Cutting for Stone. Much of his life's work is brought to bear in
this debut novel, which has been celebrated by critics around the country. Entertainment
Weekly praised the novel as "a lovely ode to the medical profession…The doctor in [Verghese]
sees the luminous beauty of the physician's calling; the artist recognizes that there remain
wounds no surgeon can mend."
Verghese has also written two nonfiction books: My Own Country, a memoir about treating AIDS patients in rural
Tennessee, and The Tennis Partner, about his close friendship with a drug-addicted physician. The Tennis Partner
was a New York Times Notable Book and a national best seller.
�His writing has appeared in The New Yorker, Sports Illustrated, The Atlantic, Esquire, The New York Times
Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and elsewhere. A moving speaker, he is also acclaimed as a dedicated and
inspiring teacher of medicine at the bedside and is a sought-after clinician and diagnostician. All of Abraham
Verghese's works, fiction and non-fiction, reflect his view of medicine as a passionate pursuit and a priestly
calling. Photo © Joanne Chan.

Gerald Oppenheimer, Friday
HIV/AIDS political and ethical challenges
Hawkins-Carlson Room
December 6, 2013 5:00pm to 7:00pm
Gerald Oppenheimer, guest speaker, is professor of history and
professor in the doctorate in public health program in the CUNY
Graduate Center.
For more than three decades we in the US have lived with an
epidemic that has now become almost invisible. But earlier in the arc
from past to present, HIV/AIDS was a disorder that strained credulity,
engendered panic, and called our medical and scientific systems into
question. Dr. Oppenheimer, in characterizing HIV/AIDS today, will
discuss the political and ethical challenges raised by an epidemic
intimately associated with fundamental changes at home and new
demands globally.
Oppenheimer is a historian, health policy analyst and epidemiologist.
His research has included analysis of health services, the costs of
funding health services for those with HIV/AIDS, and ethical issues
raised by the HIV/AIDS epidemic for private health insurance system.
A reception will immediately follow the presentation in the Hawkins-Carlson Room.

Tonight's Neilly Series Lecture "Streamed"
Anne Stiles, guest speaker
Hawkins-Carlson Room
November 14, 2012 7:30pm to 8:30pm
Anne Stiles, an expert on the intersection between science and
literature during the Victorian era, presents the Neilly Lecture,
“Rewriting the Rest Cure in Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret
Garden.”
Stiles is an assistant professor of English and director of medical
humanities at Saint Louis University. She is the author of Popular
Fiction and Brain Science in the Late Nineteenth Century (Cambridge
UP, 2012) and the editor of Neurology and Literature, 1866-1920
(Palgrave, 2007).
Her current project, Rewriting the Rest Cure: Women Writers and
Alternative Therapies, 1870-1920, explores Silas Weir Mitchell’s rest
cure and women writers’ responses to it, particularly women who
favored alternative healing traditions such as Christian Science,
spiritualism, and homeopathy. Writers like Frances Hodgson Burnett,
L.M. Montgomery, and Elisabeth Stuart Phelps wrote bestselling
fiction that promoted their alternative therapies of choice, and channeled popular discontent surrounding mainstream
treatments for anxiety and depression. Such writings also suggest that the late-Victorian conflict between mainstream and
alternative medicine involved a battle of the sexes, pitting medical men against women steeped in occult traditions.
Stiles’ talk is part of the yearlong Neilly Series, which is supported by the Andrew H. Neilly and Janet Dayton Neilly
Endowment, and the River Campus Libraries.
Streaming access information: The link for watching tonight’s talk is : http://www.rochester.edu/news/live/
The live streaming will begin at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. There is a bar below the image that allows the internet
audience to submit questions for the Q&A session. Time allowing, your questions will be presented to Anne Stiles.

Neilly Series Lecture--February 23
Roger Easton and Keith Knox, speakers
Hawkins-Carlson Room
February 23, 2012 7:30pm to 8:30pm
Roger Easton, Professor at RIT's Chester F. Carlson Center for
Imaging Science, and Keith Knox, UR alumnus and retiree from
Xerox Corporation, will present "Ten Years of Imaging between
(and through) Lines of the Archimedes Palimpsest" on Thursday,
February 23rd.
Dr. Easton and Dr. Knox will discuss the Archimedes Palimpsest, a
circa 10th-century parchment manuscript that includes the oldest
known copies of seven treatises by Archimedes. This talk will
consider the entire restoration project, with emphasis on the
imaging and processing techniques used to clarify and enhance
the texts.
The pages of the text were erased and overwritten early in the
13th century to make a Christian prayer book. The manuscript
was sold at action in 1998 and lent by its new owner to the
Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, which has led the collaboration
of conservators, imaging scientists, and scholars to preserve,
image, transcribe, and translate the original writings.
The Neilly Series Lectures are free and open to the public.

Neilly Series Lecture: Dubravka Ugresic
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
September 20, 2018 6:00pm to 7:00pm
Dubravka Ugresic is an Amsterdam-based author who has
established herself as one of Europe’s most distinctive novelists
and essayists.
Born in the former Yugoslavia, her work often discusses the
collapse of her country, the political turmoil that ensued, and her
experience as an exile.
Her firm anti-war stance and criticism of Croatian and Serbian
nationalism turned her into a target for public ostracism and
persistent media harassment, and eventually made her
leave Croatia in 1993.
Ugresic’s books have been translated into more than twenty
languages. She has taught at a number of American and
European universities, including Harvard, UCLA, Columbia and the
Free University of Berlin. She is the winner of several major
literary prizes, including the 2016 Vilenica Prize and Neustadt
International Prize for Literature.
Her lecture will focus on political resistance and how it affected
her writing and shaped her work.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot. For more information,
call 585-275-4461.
Sponsored by Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowment, Open Letter Press, and the River Campus Libraries.

Neilly Series: Jeffrey Allen Tucker
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
February 6, 2019 5:30pm
One of the most prolific African American authors of his time, John
A. Williams (1925–2015) made his mark as a journalist, educator,
and writer. Conversations with John A. Williams collects
twenty-three interviews with the three-time winner of the
American Book Award, beginning with a discussion in 1969 of his
early works and ending with a previously unpublished interview
from 2005. Gathered from print periodicals as well as radio and
television programs, these interviews address a range of topics,
including anti-black violence, Williams’s WWII naval service, race
and publishing, Martin Luther King Jr., growing up in Syracuse,
traveling in Africa and Europe, and his reputation as an angry
black writer.
Associate Professor in the Department of English Jeffrey Allen
Tucker will discuss the process of editing this volume, which
included conducting face-to-face interviews with the author and
archival research in the River Campus Libraries’ Department of
Rare Books Special Collections and Preservation.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot. For more information,
call 585-275-4461.

Neilly Series Lecture: Walter Stahr
"Seward: Lincoln's Indispensable Man"
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
February 26, 2014 7:00pm to 8:00pm
The first Neilly Series Lecture in 2014 will be presented by Walter
Stahr, a highly acclaimed biographer whose latest book, Seward:
Lincoln's Indispensable Man, is the first full biography of Seward's
life to be published in more than 40 years.
As Secretary of State under President Abraham Lincoln, William
Henry Seward served as Lincoln’s closest advisor and friend. He
was an early advocate for the rights of African Americans and
women, and is considered one of the most influential Americans of
the Civil War era.
This lecture is especially relevant for the University of Rochester,
as the River Campus Libraries’ Rare Books and Special Collections
Department owns an extensive collection of materials related to
Seward and his family.
Mr. Stahr will be introduced by Dr. Thomas Slaughter, Arthur R.
Miller Professor of History. Dr. Slaughter is collaborating with the
River Campus Libraries to teach a course in which students transcribe and digitize the William Henry Seward
archival collection, with a focus on family papers.
The Neilly Series is supported by the Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowment and the River Campus
Libraries at the University of Rochester. The series is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in
the Library Lot.

<div class="normalFont">
<p class="p2">In a wonderful millennium gift, Life Trustee Andrew H. Neilly and his wife, Janet, established a named, endowed library position at the University of Rochester with a $1 million gift. The Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Dean of River Campus Libraries Endowment is used by the dean to support library programs designed to contribute to the intellectual life of the University and to enhance the libraries' collections related to academic initiatives. With this purpose, the Neilly Series was established in 2001.</p>
</div>
<div class="normalFont">
<p class="p2">The libraries have been the focus of Andy Neilly's interest at the University for many years. <span>During the University's Campaign for the '90s, Andy and his co-chair and good friend, Jack Keil, raised several million dollars in support of the libraries. </span></p>
</div>
<div class="normalFont">
<p class="p1">A graduate of the Class of 1947, Andy had a distinguished career in the field of publishing, serving as president, CEO, and vice chairman of the board of John Wiley & Sons in New York City before his retirement in 1995. Both he and Janet grew up in Rochester. Janet attended William Smith College and Northwestern University. She is a founder of Connecticut Hospice.</p>
<p class="p1"><em> </em>Andy has noted on many occasions, "The library is the key to the University. It is the center for everything else that happens here."</p>

Neilly Series, 2005-2006
September 22 - Caraid O'Brien
The Influence of the Yiddish Theater on American Pop Culture. In its heyday in the 20's, the
Yiddish theater had over 11 Broadway style houses in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, the
oldest artists Union in America and a roster of unforgettable talent including Molly Picon,
Ludwig Satz and skat singing pioneer Aaron Lebedev. This lecture will investigate the myriad of
ways the Yiddish theater influenced mainstream American Culture. The first musical version of
George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion starred Menashe Skulnick at the Lyric Theater in Brooklyn in
1932. Rex Harrison learned his style of talk singing from Yiddish actor Joseph Buloff's
unforgettable turn as Ali Hakim in Oklahoma. The Yiddish theater was influenced by German
expressionism, symbolism and the avant garde from the early 1920's which was reflected in
their large scale commercial productions. Ground breaking designers who began their work on
the Yiddish stage include - Lighting Designer Abe Feder, Set Designers Boris Aaronson and Sam Leve and many
others. The lecture will include projected images from the Yiddish stage as well as several musical selections.
Question and Answers to follow with Caraid and the founder of the New York Fringe Festival and the Obie award
winning director of several Yiddish plays in translation, Aaron Beall. Introduction by Rabbi Shamai Kanter. 7 p.m.
Hoyt Auditorium.
October 21 - Ha Jin
Acclaimed novelist and poet Ha Jin will discuss his work, including his latest novel, War Trash,
winner of the 2005 Pen/Faulkner Award. His earlier work, Waiting, won a National Book Award
and the 1999 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.
War Trash is based heavily on actual historical accounts and is written in homage to the littleknown stories of the many Chinese POWs who were held captive by Americans during the
Korean War. Set in 1951, War Trash is told in the form of a memoir. The protagonist is a
young Chinese army volunteer, fighting unofficially in Korea when he is captured. His fluency in
English thrusts him into the role of unofficial interpreter in the psychological warfare-- between
the prisoners and teri captors and between rival groups of prisoners-- that defines the oftenvicious world of the POW camp.
Ha Jin is known for his ethical quandaries and personal revelations. The New York Times Book Review stated, "Ha
Jin produces work of extraordinary moral and aesthetic lucidity." Russell Banks, in his review, wrote that War
Trash "is not a large novel, but it is a nearly perfect one."
Ha Jin came to the United States in 1986 as a doctoral student at Brandeis University. Upon completing his
doctorate, he planned to return to China, but changed plans after the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. He
began learning English in his early 20s and writing fiction in his early 30s.Ha Jin is the author of two volumes of
poetry, three volumes of short stories, and several novels. Ha Jin also teaches at Boston University. Introduction
by Greta Niu. 5 p.m. Hubbell Auditorium.
November 10 - William H. Calvin
William H. Calvin will discuss his book, A Brief History of the Mind: From Apes to Intellect and
Beyond. A theoretical neurobiologist with an appointment to Psychiatry and Behavioral
Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Calvin will analyze what led to the
"Mind's Big Bang" about 50,000 years ago; it was a creative explosion in comparison with the
trends of the previous 2.5 million years, in which there was little progress. He will also
examine another Homo Sapiens puzzle; whether a big brain is necessary for higher intellectual
functions such as creative structured thought. One reviewer wrote that Calvin "provides a
sensible and accessible reflection on the cognitive roots of many of our confusions and
�failings."
Calvin writes "I talk a lot about ape-to-human evolution and all those abrupt climate changes along the way,
even about civilization's vulnerabilities to abrupt shocks. But mostly I try to extend Darwin's intellectual
revolution to brain mechanisms. What sort of Darwinian brain wiring allows us, in just a split second, to shape up
a better thought? To create quality from mere incoherence?… Ethics, morals, a sense of "what's right" are
possible only because of a human level of ability to speculate about the future and modify our possible actions
accordingly." Introduction by Dr. Robert Joynt. 5 p.m. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library.
February 23 - Rachel Cohen
"Rachel Cohen has created a masterpiece of variety and balance in her first book" are the
words used to describe A Chance Meeting: Intertwined Lives of American Writers and Artists,
1854-1967. Cohen, who teaches at Sarah Lawrence, selected 30 American artists, mostly
writers, and describes portraits of friendships in a way that is both entertaining and accessible.
The book has been described as "an innovative hybrid of biography, cultural history, [and]
'imaginative' nonfiction" that provides an engrossing read, deftly evoking characters and
bringing them to life. Beginning in 1854 with Henry James and ending in 1967 with Norman
Mailer, she includes artists Edward Steichen and Marcel Duchamp and writers such as Gertrude
Stein and Nora Zeale Hurston. Introduction by Grant Holcomb. 5 p.m. Hawkins-Carlson Room,
Rush Rhees Library.
March 23 - David Rosner
Deceit and Denial: The Deadly Politics of Industrial Pollution, which chronicles the history of
environmental and industrial illness, is authored by David Rosner, Professor of History and
Public Health at Columbia University and Director of the Center for the History of Ethics of
Public Health at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, and Gerald Markowitz. Rosner will
discuss attempts by the chemical and lead industries to deceive Americans about the dangers
their products pose to workers, consumers, and the public. Journalist Bill Moyers described the
book as "The best detective story I've read in years." In the face of other perceived threats,
industrial pollution may well be overlooked, but it is holds great consequences for public
health.
A February 7, 2005 article in The Nation cites Deceit and Denial as being at the center of a controversy involving
twenty of the biggest chemical companies in the United States. The companies are attempting to discredit Rosner
and Markowitz, and five other academics who recommended that the University of California Press publish the
book as part of a high stakes court case scheduled for September, in which the companies face potentially
massive liability claims. Introduction by Ted Brown. 5 p.m. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library.
April 20 - Kevin Kling
Humorist and playwright Kevin Kling has expressed himself in many different arenas: theatre,
television, radio, recording, and literature. His plays, such as The Ice Fishing Play and Gravity
vs. Levity, have been seen in national and international festivals, including the Sundance
Institute. Kling has also adapted two favorite books, Lyle, Lyle Crocodile and Lilly's Plastic
Purse for children's theatre. He is a frequent storyteller on National Public Radio's All Things
Considered. Kling's NPR commentary's can be heard on www.npr.com (try Minnesota Bus Ride
or 'Hockey Hair' and Other Buried Memories). Kling's monologues are compelling, poignant and
hilarious, sublimely drawing the listener into his own quirky worldview.
His publicist writes: Kevin Kling grew up in Osseo, Minnesota and graduated from Gustavus
Adolphus College in 1979 with a B. A. in Theatre. He built his reputation in the Twin Cities during the 1990's with
his groundbreaking plays "21A" and "Fear and Loving in Minneapolis," and toured a one man show of "Home and
Away" across the US in the early 1990's. While his writing and performing continue unabated, he has also
become well know for his regular storytelling contributions to NPR's "All Things Considered, " and has three (soon
four) CD collection of his commentaries, "Home and Away," "Stories off the Shallow End," "Wonderlure," and the
forthcoming "Fool's Paradise."
�He has hopped freight trains, joined a circus, been to Mardi Gras and eaten things before knowing what they
were. He loves Mary Ludington, their dogs and motorcycles, in that order. Kling has performed his one-person
play "21A" (based on a South Minneapolis bus route) in Sweden, Louisville, KY, Off Broadway in NYC, Sydney
and Perth, Australia, Edinburgh Scotland, and the Czech Republic. "Lloyd's Prayer" was work-shopped at the

Goodman Theater, Jungle Theater, and the HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado among other venues.
His adaptation of "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse" continues to be produced in theaters across the US and abroad.
Kling's one-man show "From the Charred Underbelly of the Yule Log" continues to play each December at the
Guthrie Theatre.
Kevin Kling's newest play "At Your Service" based on ancient Japanese Kyogen tales, opened with Ten Thousand
Things Theater Company in March of 2004, and played at a variety of theaters, correctional facilities and
shelters. In Spring of 2004 Minnesota Public Radio produced a live variety show by Kevin Kling and Friends, "A

November 10 - William H. Calvin
William H. Calvin will discuss his book, A Brief History of the Mind: From Apes to Intellect and
Beyond. A theoretical neurobiologist with an appointment to Psychiatry and Behavioral
Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Calvin will analyze what led to the
"Mind's Big Bang" about 50,000 years ago; it was a creative explosion in comparison with the
trends of the previous 2.5 million years, in which there was little progress. He will also
examine another Homo Sapiens puzzle; whether a big brain is necessary for higher intellectual
functions such as creative structured thought. One reviewer wrote that Calvin "provides a
sensible and accessible reflection on the cognitive roots of many of our confusions and
�failings."
Calvin writes "I talk a lot about ape-to-human evolution and all those abrupt climate changes along the way,
even about civilization's vulnerabilities to abrupt shocks. But mostly I try to extend Darwin's intellectual
revolution to brain mechanisms. What sort of Darwinian brain wiring allows us, in just a split second, to shape up
a better thought? To create quality from mere incoherence?… Ethics, morals, a sense of "what's right" are
possible only because of a human level of ability to speculate about the future and modify our possible actions
accordingly." Introduction by Dr. Robert Joynt. 5 p.m. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library.
February 23 - Rachel Cohen
"Rachel Cohen has created a masterpiece of variety and balance in her first book" are the
words used to describe A Chance Meeting: Intertwined Lives of American Writers and Artists,
1854-1967. Cohen, who teaches at Sarah Lawrence, selected 30 American artists, mostly
writers, and describes portraits of friendships in a way that is both entertaining and accessible.
The book has been described as "an innovative hybrid of biography, cultural history, [and]
'imaginative' nonfiction" that provides an engrossing read, deftly evoking characters and
bringing them to life. Beginning in 1854 with Henry James and ending in 1967 with Norman
Mailer, she includes artists Edward Steichen and Marcel Duchamp and writers such as Gertrude
Stein and Nora Zeale Hurston. Introduction by Grant Holcomb. 5 p.m. Hawkins-Carlson Room,
Rush Rhees Library.
March 23 - David Rosner
Deceit and Denial: The Deadly Politics of Industrial Pollution, which chronicles the history of
environmental and industrial illness, is authored by David Rosner, Professor of History and
Public Health at Columbia University and Director of the Center for the History of Ethics of
Public Health at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, and Gerald Markowitz. Rosner will
discuss attempts by the chemical and lead industries to deceive Americans about the dangers
their products pose to workers, consumers, and the public. Journalist Bill Moyers described the
book as "The best detective story I've read in years." In the face of other perceived threats,
industrial pollution may well be overlooked, but it is holds great consequences for public
health.
A February 7, 2005 article in The Nation cites Deceit and Denial as being at the center of a controversy involving
twenty of the biggest chemical companies in the United States. The companies are attempting to discredit Rosner
and Markowitz, and five other academics who recommended that the University of California Press publish the
book as part of a high stakes court case scheduled for September, in which the companies face potentially
massive liability claims. Introduction by Ted Brown. 5 p.m. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library.

September 22 - Caraid O'Brien
The Influence of the Yiddish Theater on American Pop Culture. In its heyday in the 20's, the
Yiddish theater had over 11 Broadway style houses in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, the
oldest artists Union in America and a roster of unforgettable talent including Molly Picon,
Ludwig Satz and skat singing pioneer Aaron Lebedev. This lecture will investigate the myriad of
ways the Yiddish theater influenced mainstream American Culture. The first musical version of
George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion starred Menashe Skulnick at the Lyric Theater in Brooklyn in
1932. Rex Harrison learned his style of talk singing from Yiddish actor Joseph Buloff's
unforgettable turn as Ali Hakim in Oklahoma. The Yiddish theater was influenced by German
expressionism, symbolism and the avant garde from the early 1920's which was reflected in
their large scale commercial productions. Ground breaking designers who began their work on
the Yiddish stage include - Lighting Designer Abe Feder, Set Designers Boris Aaronson and Sam Leve and many
others. The lecture will include projected images from the Yiddish stage as well as several musical selections.
Question and Answers to follow with Caraid and the founder of the New York Fringe Festival and the Obie award
winning director of several Yiddish plays in translation, Aaron Beall. Introduction by Rabbi Shamai Kanter. 7 p.m.

October 21 - Ha Jin
Acclaimed novelist and poet Ha Jin will discuss his work, including his latest novel, War Trash,
winner of the 2005 Pen/Faulkner Award. His earlier work, Waiting, won a National Book Award
and the 1999 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.
War Trash is based heavily on actual historical accounts and is written in homage to the littleknown stories of the many Chinese POWs who were held captive by Americans during the
Korean War. Set in 1951, War Trash is told in the form of a memoir. The protagonist is a
young Chinese army volunteer, fighting unofficially in Korea when he is captured. His fluency in
English thrusts him into the role of unofficial interpreter in the psychological warfare-- between
the prisoners and teri captors and between rival groups of prisoners-- that defines the oftenvicious world of the POW camp.
Ha Jin is known for his ethical quandaries and personal revelations. The New York Times Book Review stated, "Ha
Jin produces work of extraordinary moral and aesthetic lucidity." Russell Banks, in his review, wrote that War
Trash "is not a large novel, but it is a nearly perfect one."
Ha Jin came to the United States in 1986 as a doctoral student at Brandeis University. Upon completing his
doctorate, he planned to return to China, but changed plans after the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. He
began learning English in his early 20s and writing fiction in his early 30s.Ha Jin is the author of two volumes of
poetry, three volumes of short stories, and several novels. Ha Jin also teaches at Boston University. Introduction
by Greta Niu. 5 p.m. Hubbell Auditorium.

<p>Acclaimed novelist and poet Ha Jin will discuss his work, including his latest novel, <em>War Trash</em>, winner of the 2005 Pen/Faulkner Award. His earlier work, <em>Waiting</em>, won a National Book Award and the 1999 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.</p>
<p><em>War Trash</em> is based heavily on actual historical accounts and is written in homage to the little-known stories of the many Chinese POWs who were held captive by Americans during the Korean War. Set in 1951, <em>War Trash</em> is told in the form of a memoir. The protagonist is a young Chinese army volunteer, fighting unofficially in Korea when he is captured. His fluency in English thrusts him into the role of unofficial interpreter in the psychological warfare-- between the prisoners and teri captors and between rival groups of prisoners-- that defines the often-vicious world of the POW camp.</p>
<p>Ha Jin is known for his ethical quandaries and personal revelations. <em>The New York Times Book Review</em> stated, "Ha Jin produces work of extraordinary moral and aesthetic lucidity." Russell Banks, in his review, wrote that <em>War Trash</em> "is not a large novel, but it is a nearly perfect one."</p>
<p>Ha Jin came to the United States in 1986 as a doctoral student at Brandeis University. Upon completing his doctorate, he planned to return to China, but changed plans after the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.

September 22 - Caraid O'Brien
The Influence of the Yiddish Theater on American Pop Culture. In its heyday in the 20's, the
Yiddish theater had over 11 Broadway style houses in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, the
oldest artists Union in America and a roster of unforgettable talent including Molly Picon,
Ludwig Satz and skat singing pioneer Aaron Lebedev. This lecture will investigate the myriad of
ways the Yiddish theater influenced mainstream American Culture. The first musical version of
George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion starred Menashe Skulnick at the Lyric Theater in Brooklyn in
1932. Rex Harrison learned his style of talk singing from Yiddish actor Joseph Buloff's
unforgettable turn as Ali Hakim in Oklahoma. The Yiddish theater was influenced by German
expressionism, symbolism and the avant garde from the early 1920's which was reflected in
their large scale commercial productions. Ground breaking designers who began their work on
the Yiddish stage include - Lighting Designer Abe Feder, Set Designers Boris Aaronson and Sam Leve and many
others. The lecture will include projected images from the Yiddish stage as well as several musical selections.
Question and Answers to follow with Caraid and the founder of the New York Fringe Festival and the Obie award
winning director of several Yiddish plays in translation, Aaron Beall. Introduction by Rabbi Shamai Kanter. 7 p.m.
Hoyt Auditorium.
October 21 - Ha Jin
Acclaimed novelist and poet Ha Jin will discuss his work, including his latest novel, War Trash,
winner of the 2005 Pen/Faulkner Award. His earlier work, Waiting, won a National Book Award
and the 1999 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.
War Trash is based heavily on actual historical accounts and is written in homage to the littleknown stories of the many Chinese POWs who were held captive by Americans during the
Korean War. Set in 1951, War Trash is told in the form of a memoir. The protagonist is a
young Chinese army volunteer, fighting unofficially in Korea when he is captured. His fluency in
English thrusts him into the role of unofficial interpreter in the psychological warfare-- between
the prisoners and teri captors and between rival groups of prisoners-- that defines the oftenvicious world of the POW camp.
Ha Jin is known for his ethical quandaries and personal revelations. The New York Times Book Review stated, "Ha
Jin produces work of extraordinary moral and aesthetic lucidity." Russell Banks, in his review, wrote that War
Trash "is not a large novel, but it is a nearly perfect one."
Ha Jin came to the United States in 1986 as a doctoral student at Brandeis University. Upon completing his
doctorate, he planned to return to China, but changed plans after the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. He
began learning English in his early 20s and writing fiction in his early 30s.Ha Jin is the author of two volumes of
poetry, three volumes of short stories, and several novels. Ha Jin also teaches at Boston University. Introduction
by Greta Niu. 5 p.m. Hubbell Auditorium.
November 10 - William H. Calvin
William H. Calvin will discuss his book, A Brief History of the Mind: From Apes to Intellect and
Beyond. A theoretical neurobiologist with an appointment to Psychiatry and Behavioral
Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Calvin will analyze what led to the
"Mind's Big Bang" about 50,000 years ago; it was a creative explosion in comparison with the
trends of the previous 2.5 million years, in which there was little progress. He will also
examine another Homo Sapiens puzzle; whether a big brain is necessary for higher intellectual
functions such as creative structured thought. One reviewer wrote that Calvin "provides a
sensible and accessible reflection on the cognitive roots of many of our confusions and
�failings."
Calvin writes "I talk a lot about ape-to-human evolution and all those abrupt climate changes along the way,
even about civilization's vulnerabilities to abrupt shocks. But mostly I try to extend Darwin's intellectual
revolution to brain mechanisms. What sort of Darwinian brain wiring allows us, in just a split second, to shape up
a better thought? To create quality from mere incoherence?… Ethics, morals, a sense of "what's right" are
possible only because of a human level of ability to speculate about the future and modify our possible actions
accordingly." Introduction by Dr. Robert Joynt. 5 p.m. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library.
February 23 - Rachel Cohen
"Rachel Cohen has created a masterpiece of variety and balance in her first book" are the
words used to describe A Chance Meeting: Intertwined Lives of American Writers and Artists,
1854-1967. Cohen, who teaches at Sarah Lawrence, selected 30 American artists, mostly
writers, and describes portraits of friendships in a way that is both entertaining and accessible.
The book has been described as "an innovative hybrid of biography, cultural history, [and]
'imaginative' nonfiction" that provides an engrossing read, deftly evoking characters and
bringing them to life. Beginning in 1854 with Henry James and ending in 1967 with Norman
Mailer, she includes artists Edward Steichen and Marcel Duchamp and writers such as Gertrude
Stein and Nora Zeale Hurston. Introduction by Grant Holcomb. 5 p.m. Hawkins-Carlson Room,
Rush Rhees Library.
March 23 - David Rosner
Deceit and Denial: The Deadly Politics of Industrial Pollution, which chronicles the history of
environmental and industrial illness, is authored by David Rosner, Professor of History and
Public Health at Columbia University and Director of the Center for the History of Ethics of
Public Health at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, and Gerald Markowitz. Rosner will
discuss attempts by the chemical and lead industries to deceive Americans about the dangers
their products pose to workers, consumers, and the public. Journalist Bill Moyers described the
book as "The best detective story I've read in years." In the face of other perceived threats,
industrial pollution may well be overlooked, but it is holds great consequences for public
health.
A February 7, 2005 article in The Nation cites Deceit and Denial as being at the center of a controversy involving
twenty of the biggest chemical companies in the United States. The companies are attempting to discredit Rosner
and Markowitz, and five other academics who recommended that the University of California Press publish the
book as part of a high stakes court case scheduled for September, in which the companies face potentially
massive liability claims. Introduction by Ted Brown. 5 p.m. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library.
April 20 - Kevin Kling

television, radio, recording, and literature. His plays, such as The Ice Fishing Play and Gravity

Mark Pachter, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, will discuss "The Making of an American
Icon: George Washington and Gilbert Stuart." There is only one American visual document that
might be said to rank in importance with the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights.
That is Gilbert Stuart's full-length portrait of George Washington painted during Washington's
last year in office. It provided the new nation with a summary of what we would come to
expect of the invented office of the Presidency. Pachter will discuss how the President and the
portraitist came together, why it spent most of its existence in Great Britain, and how a major
national campaign in 2001 saved it for the nation. Introduction by Grant Holcomb. Hoyt Hall. 5
p.m.
April 22 - David Ropeik
David Ropeik, Director of Risk Communication at the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis, will talk
about "Risk Perception. Why Our Fears Don't Match the Facts." Ropeik will discuss how humans
subconsciously "decide," based more on emotional than factual bases, what to be afraid of and
how afraid to be. The talk offers insights into the specific characteristics of risks that evoke
more or less fear, and describes the dangers of risk misperception, either being too afraid of a
lesser risk or not afraid enough of the bigger ones. Introduction by Richard Dollinger. WellesBrown Room, 5 p.m.

Neilly Series, 2003-2004
September 25 - John Noble Wilford
John Noble Wilford is a senior science writer at The New York Times who, for over three
decades, covered many major missions of the US space program. Not limited to reporting on
space, he flew through the eye of a hurricane, submerged in research submarines, and
endured wilderness survival school in search of material for his stories. He is the author of The
Riddle of the Dinosaur, The Mapmakers, and The Mysterious History of Columbus, as well as
several books on space exploration. Introduction by Laura Fuller. Welles-Brown Room, 5 p.m.
October 10 - Oscar Hijuelos
Oscar Hijuelos, acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winning author of the international bestseller The
Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, will present "From Anecdote to Speculation: The Small and
Larger Details of Life that Inspire One's Fiction." Hijuelos will recount how his tió Pedro, who
played bass with Xavier Cugat in the 1930s, was inspiration for the Mambo Kings and how a
little known Cuban composer became Israel Levis of A Simple Habana Melody. He will tell how
he is inspired by the simplest of images or imagined moments and how you can be too.
Introduction by Raul Rodriguez-Hernandez. Hubbell Auditorium, 5 p.m.
November 3 - Ann-Marie MacDonald
NOTE CHANGE OF DATE AND TIME. Ann-Marie MacDonald will begin her North American
tour at the River Campus Libraries! MacDonald, author of the best-selling Fall on Your Knees,
will discuss her eagerly awaited new novel The Way The Crow Flies. Fall on Your Knees was an
Oprah book choice and the winner of the Orange Prize as well as the Commonwealth Prize. Her
writing has been described as “mythic” and “profoundly and refreshingly different.” A book
signing will follow the event. Introduction by Annette Weld. Hoyt Hall, 7 p.m.
January 29 - Robert Bakos, MD
Robert Bakos will discuss "Dead German Composers and How They Got That Way," including
the medical histories of some of our best-known composers. He will investigate how their
medical conditions affected their creativity and contributed to their deaths. As a youth, Bakos
studied at the Cleveland Music Settlement for nine years where he became proficient on violin
and clarinet, while he studied music theory and composition. He is now an Associate Professor
of Neurosurgery at the University of Rochester. Accompanied by recorded music. Introduction
by Stephanie Brown-Clark. Welles-Brown Room, 5 p.m.
February 26 - Linda Sue Park
Linda Sue Park, author of A Single Shard, won the 2002 Newbery Medal just two years after
her first book was published. But her 'overnight' success actually took nearly three decades to
achieve. She will discuss her reading, writing, and publication journey, from the slushpile to
the Newbery award, in a talk titled "Slushpile Cinderella." Introduction by Barbara Billingsley.
Welles-Brown Room. 5 p.m.
�March 24 - Mark Pachter
Mark Pachter, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, will discuss "The Making of an American
Icon: George Washington and Gilbert Stuart." There is only one American visual document that
might be said to rank in importance with the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights.
That is Gilbert Stuart's full-length portrait of George Washington painted during Washington's
last year in office. It provided the new nation with a summary of what we would come to
expect of the invented office of the Presidency. Pachter will discuss how the President and the
portraitist came together, why it spent most of its existence in Great Britain, and how a major
national campaign in 2001 saved it for the nation. Introduction by Grant Holcomb. Hoyt Hall. 5
p.m.
April 22 - David Ropeik
David Ropeik, Director of Risk Communication at the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis, will talk
about "Risk Perception. Why Our Fears Don't Match the Facts." Ropeik will discuss how humans
subconsciously "decide," based more on emotional than factual bases, what to be afraid of and
how afraid to be. The talk offers insights into the specific characteristics of risks that evoke
more or less fear, and describes the dangers of risk misperception, either being too afraid of a
lesser risk or not afraid enough of the bigger ones. Introduction by Richard Dollinger. WellesBrown Room, 5 p.m.

Harper's lecture, "The Life of Minik," describes an Inuit boy's life after being taken by explorer

describes Minik's life in NY, his discovery that his father's skeleton was in the American
Museum of Natural History and not buried in 1898 as he had thought, and his eventual return
to Greenland. Harper describes how he first heard of Minik from the Polar Eskimos of
Greenland, and discusses the role of the museum in the Minik affair, and the symbol that Minik
has become for the Inuit. Harper is the author of Give Me My Father's Body: The Life of Minik,
the New York Eskimo. He has lived in the Canadian Arctic and Greenland for the past 36 years
and served on an advisory commission to the federal and territorial governments on the
formation of the Government of Nunavut in Canada.

Description
An account of the resource
<span>Harper's lecture, "The Life of Minik," describes an Inuit boy's life after being taken by explorer Robert Peary from Greenland to New York City in 1897. The lecture, accompanied by slides, describes Minik's life in NY, his discovery that his father's skeleton was in the American Museum of Natural History and not buried in 1898 as he had thought, and his eventual return to Greenland. Harper describes how he first heard of Minik from the Polar Eskimos of Greenland, and discusses the role of the museum in the Minik affair, and the symbol that Minik has become for the Inuit. Harper is the author of </span><em>Give Me My Father's Body: The Life of Minik, the New York Eskimo</em><span>. He has lived in the Canadian Arctic and Greenland for the past 36 years and served on an advisory commission to the federal and territorial governments on the formation of the Government of Nunavut in Canada.</span>

Neilly Series, 2001-2002
September 19 - The Critic, The Reader, and The Poet: Literary Authority in Postwar America Belligerent
readers and a beleaguered critic are the topic of the first presenter of the Neilly Series, Joan
Shelly Rubin, professor of history at the University of Rochester. Ms. Rubin will discuss the
controversy that ensued in the later 1950s when poetry editor John Giardi attacked the work of
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of Charles Lindbergh, in the Saturday Review of Literature. This
lecture stems from Ms. Rubin's larger research project on the practices and values governing
Americans' uses of poetry, for which she received a Guggenheim Fellowship. She is co-editor of
a collaborative History of the Book in America, a project supported, in part, by the National
Endowment for the Humanities.
September 28 - Among the Gently Mad, Redux Nicholas Basbanes is the author of A
Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books, a New York
Times Notable Book of the Year, and Patience and Fortitude: A Roving Chronicle of Book
People, Book Places and Book Culture, to be published in early fall. Mr. Basbanes was an
essayist, reviewer, and reporter before turning his own passion for books into a remarkable
"magnum opus" that investigates book collectors and their stories and which recounts 2,500
years of the preservation of knowledge through print. Mr. Basbanes is a fascinating and
articulate speaker who is himself a virtual library of knowledge about book collections and
collectors.
October 12 - The Hero's Life: Its Worth and Its Costs Meliora Weekend 2001 will feature
Richard Ben Cramer. Mr. Cramer, who often writes about baseball and politics, is a best
selling biographer. His latest book is Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life; he is also the author of
What It Takes: The Way to the White House. He has written innumerable essays, television
scripts, and documentaries. A former reporter, Mr. Cramer won a Pulitzer Prize for foreign
reporting while at the Philadelphia Inquirer. At the Library, Mr. Cramer will discuss how he uses
his writing to analyze the impact of American political and sports heroes on everyday life and
their legacy in history.
November 7 - An Editor's Quest: Finding Books to Publish Lawrence Ashmead '54, vice
president and executive editor at HarperCollins, will be at the Libraries to discuss how he
selects the books he publishes and what types of sources provide potential "finds." Mr.
Ashmead is the editor for Simon Winchester, Tony Hillerman, Susan Isaacs, Sister Wendy
Beckett, Michael Korda, Anne Rivers Siddons, and a host of other authors. As always, his focus
is on conceiving and acquiring new books and overseeing their publication. Mr. Ashmead's
presentation is a must for fledgling authors!
January 24 - Blues to Rock: Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page Discover Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters
Academia and pop culture will collide and Rush Rhees will be hip hopping when Eastman
School music theorist David Headlam examines the British discovery of the roots of rock 'n'
roll in African American music. He will discuss how the British rock scene reinterpreted country
blues, jump blues, and rhythm and blues. One of the most fascinating stories in the history of
music and culture is how this little known American music became the basis of a worldwide
rock phenomenon in the 1960s. Mr. Headlam will compare the original versions of songs with
their rock reworking using recorded music and live guitars - this is an event guaranteed to
�keep the audience awake!
February 26 - A Beautiful Mind: Genius, Madness, Reawakening Sylvia Nasar, author
and professor of journalism at Columbia University, will recount the story of mathematical
genius and inventor of game theory John Nash. Nash woke from decades of devastating mental
illness to win a Nobel Prize and world acclaim. Ms. Nasar will describe how this drama about
the mystery of the human mind evolved from a New York Times story into an award-winning
biography and a Ron Howard movie starring Russell Crowe. A Beautiful Mind was the winner of
the 1998 National Book Critics Circle Award.
March 13 - Women's Rights: What's Not in the History Books March is Women's History
Month and Miriam Grace Monfredo will speak about the women's rights movement and its
portrayal in the history books. A former librarian and historian, she is the author of seven
novels that comprise her Seneca Falls Historical Mystery series, which make use of her
research concerning the women's rights movement. All of Ms. Monfredo's books are based on
historical events or social movements. During her lectures on the evolution of women's rights,
she stresses the importance of the past on the future of the women's movement.
April 3 - Developing New Plays and Musicals A fitting "wrap" for the season is Mark
Cuddy, artistic director of GEVA Theatre. Mr. Cuddy made his acting debut last season, but he
is more widely known for his many directing achievements. Mr. Cuddy will describe how, in the
last twenty years, regional theatres have usurped Broadway in the development and
production of new plays and musicals. He will discuss the creative effort that is required to
produce new pieces of theatrical art. Mr. Cuddy will use slides and recorded music to illustrate
his presentation.

<strong>Blues to Rock: Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page Discover Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters</strong>: Academia and pop culture will collide and Rush Rhees will be hip hopping when Eastman School music theorist <span>David Headlam</span><span> examines the British discovery of the roots of rock 'n' roll in African American music. He will discuss how the British rock scene reinterpreted country blues, jump blues, and rhythm and blues. One of the most fascinating stories in the history of music and culture is how this little known American music became the basis of a worldwide rock phenomenon in the 1960s. Mr. Headlam will compare the original versions of songs with their rock reworking using recorded music and live guitars - this is an event guaranteed to keep the audience awake!</span>

Neilly Series, 2001-2002
September 19 - The Critic, The Reader, and The Poet: Literary Authority in Postwar America Belligerent
readers and a beleaguered critic are the topic of the first presenter of the Neilly Series, Joan
Shelly Rubin, professor of history at the University of Rochester. Ms. Rubin will discuss the
controversy that ensued in the later 1950s when poetry editor John Giardi attacked the work of
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of Charles Lindbergh, in the Saturday Review of Literature. This
lecture stems from Ms. Rubin's larger research project on the practices and values governing
Americans' uses of poetry, for which she received a Guggenheim Fellowship. She is co-editor of
a collaborative History of the Book in America, a project supported, in part, by the National
Endowment for the Humanities.
September 28 - Among the Gently Mad, Redux Nicholas Basbanes is the author of A
Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books, a New York
Times Notable Book of the Year, and Patience and Fortitude: A Roving Chronicle of Book
People, Book Places and Book Culture, to be published in early fall. Mr. Basbanes was an
essayist, reviewer, and reporter before turning his own passion for books into a remarkable
"magnum opus" that investigates book collectors and their stories and which recounts 2,500
years of the preservation of knowledge through print. Mr. Basbanes is a fascinating and
articulate speaker who is himself a virtual library of knowledge about book collections and
collectors.
October 12 - The Hero's Life: Its Worth and Its Costs Meliora Weekend 2001 will feature
Richard Ben Cramer. Mr. Cramer, who often writes about baseball and politics, is a best
selling biographer. His latest book is Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life; he is also the author of
What It Takes: The Way to the White House. He has written innumerable essays, television
scripts, and documentaries. A former reporter, Mr. Cramer won a Pulitzer Prize for foreign
reporting while at the Philadelphia Inquirer. At the Library, Mr. Cramer will discuss how he uses
his writing to analyze the impact of American political and sports heroes on everyday life and
their legacy in history.
November 7 - An Editor's Quest: Finding Books to Publish Lawrence Ashmead '54, vice
president and executive editor at HarperCollins, will be at the Libraries to discuss how he
selects the books he publishes and what types of sources provide potential "finds." Mr.
Ashmead is the editor for Simon Winchester, Tony Hillerman, Susan Isaacs, Sister Wendy
Beckett, Michael Korda, Anne Rivers Siddons, and a host of other authors. As always, his focus
is on conceiving and acquiring new books and overseeing their publication. Mr. Ashmead's
presentation is a must for fledgling authors!
January 24 - Blues to Rock: Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page Discover Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters
Academia and pop culture will collide and Rush Rhees will be hip hopping when Eastman

rock phenomenon in the 1960s. Mr. Headlam will compare the original versions of songs with
their rock reworking using recorded music and live guitars - this is an event guaranteed to
�keep the audience awake!
February 26 - A Beautiful Mind: Genius, Madness, Reawakening Sylvia Nasar, author
and professor of journalism at Columbia University, will recount the story of mathematical
genius and inventor of game theory John Nash. Nash woke from decades of devastating mental
illness to win a Nobel Prize and world acclaim. Ms. Nasar will describe how this drama about
the mystery of the human mind evolved from a New York Times story into an award-winning
biography and a Ron Howard movie starring Russell Crowe. A Beautiful Mind was the winner of
the 1998 National Book Critics Circle Award.
March 13 - Women's Rights: What's Not in the History Books March is Women's History
Month and Miriam Grace Monfredo will speak about the women's rights movement and its
portrayal in the history books. A former librarian and historian, she is the author of seven
novels that comprise her Seneca Falls Historical Mystery series, which make use of her
research concerning the women's rights movement. All of Ms. Monfredo's books are based on
historical events or social movements. During her lectures on the evolution of women's rights,
she stresses the importance of the past on the future of the women's movement.

portrayal in the history books. A former librarian and historian, she is the author of seven
novels that comprise her Seneca Falls Historical Mystery series, which make use of her
research concerning the women's rights movement. All of Ms. Monfredo's books are based on
historical events or social movements. During her lectures on the evolution of women's rights,
she stresses the importance of the past on the future of the women's movement.
April 3 - Developing New Plays and Musicals A fitting "wrap" for the season is Mark
Cuddy, artistic director of GEVA Theatre. Mr. Cuddy made his acting debut last season, but he
is more widely known for his many directing achievements. Mr. Cuddy will describe how, in the
last twenty years, regional theatres have usurped Broadway in the development and
production of new plays and musicals. He will discuss the creative effort that is required to
produce new pieces of theatrical art. Mr. Cuddy will use slides and recorded music to illustrate
his presentation.

Neilly Series, 2006-2007
October 6 - Alan Burdick
Author of Out of Eden: An Odyssey of Ecological Invasion, Alan Burdick will discuss his latest
book. Burdick writes for numerous publications including The New York Times Magazine,
Natural History and Discover, where he is senior editor. One of his essays was featured in The
Best American Science and Nature Writing 2003. He was awarded the 1995 AAAS Science
Journalism Award for magazine feature writing and the 1992 Society of National Association
Publications for magazine features. Out of Eden is the winner of the 2005 Overseas Press
Club’s Whitman Bassow Award for best reporting in any medium on international
environmental issues, and a 2005 National Book Award finalist. Hawkins-Carlson Room,
Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
October 31 - Patch Adams, MD
The real person behind the hit movie starring Robin Williams, Patch Adams is both a healthcare
physician and a professional clown. He is founder of the Gesundheit! Institute, a holistic health
facility emphasizing laughter and humor as an essential part of the healing process. During one
pilot project, over 15,000 people were provided with free medical care at the Institute, which
integrated medicine with performing arts, arts and crafts, agriculture, nature, education,
recreation and social service. Patch Adams travels all over the world spreading his humor and
therapy, including visits to prisons and war zones. Patch Adams believes that being happy is
“the most important health factor in your life.” Co-sponsored with Wilson Commons Student
Activities and the Campus Activities Board (CAB). Hubbell Auditorium at 7 p.m.
February 15 - John Harris
Noted editor at the Washington Post, John Harris will talk about his new book about
presidential politics, The Way to Win. Its thesis is that the two people with the greatest
understanding about how to win modern presidential campaigns are Bill Clinton and Karl Rove.
Though vastly different men, with radically divergent ideas about where they would lead the
country, in fact many of Clinton's and Rove's Trade Secrets for winning elections are similar.
The person who intends to borrow from the experience and strategic lessons of both men for
her likely presidential run in 2008 is none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
John Harris was the Post's White House reporter during the Clinton presidency, and is now the
National Politics Editor. His history of Clinton's presidency, THE SURIVOR: Bill Clinton in the
White House, was a New York Times bestseller and Times notable book of the year. His second book, The Way to
Win, was written with co-author Mark Halperin, the political director of ABC News. Hawkins-Carlson Room,
Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
March 22 - Laura Nash
Senior lecturer at Harvard Business School in the Entrepreneurial Management unit, Laura
Nash will explore critical problems with dominant models of success today and how they
impact performance, leadership, and commitment in a talk titled “Just Enough—Foundation for
Lasting Success.” Nash is co- author of Just Enough: Tools for Creating Success in Your Work
and Life. Drawing on her extensive research, she presents a different model, based on the
metaphor of a kaleidoscope, which captures the chief ingredients of lasting success, i.e.,
accomplishments that “last” in satisfaction because they are worth it to you and others. Nash
explores the critical dimensions of lasting success and ways to use the model to check in,
rebalance, and set the next goals in ways that align with these deep aspirations. She explores
�what constitutes the core ingredients of real success; how to strategize productively about
your own needs and opportunities over a lifetime—not to mention the needs of others whom you care about;
how to anticipate the key reasons why high achievers can pursue a form of success that they and others around
them do not want; and how to foster a reasoned sense of Just Enough. Nash has a PhD in classical philosophy
from Harvard University and has written and taught on business ethics and leadership for twenty-five years.
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
April 19 - Lynn Freed
Author of Reading, Writing and Leaving Home, Lynn Freed will discuss her writing, including
some works not yet published. The New York Times described Reading, Writing and Leaving
Home as a wry lively series of essays that were a welcome exception from the usual writer’s
memoir, and in which “over the course of this book, she proves wonderful company,
entertaining and astute, ruthless in her willingness to sacrifice even the people she loves for
the sake of a story.” Freed displays relentless candor about the “sloughs of not writing, the
false starts, the frustration and despair.” Five of her books have appeared on The New York
Times Notable Books of the Year list: Home Ground, The Bungalow, The Mirror, House of
Women, and The Curse of the Appropriate Man. Freed is Professor of English at the University
of California at Davis. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
May 1- John Pickstone
John Pickstone on “Describing, Analysing and Controlling Life: The Past and Present of Biomedical (& other) Sciences.” Pickstone is the author of Ways of Knowing: a New History of
Modern Science, Technology and Medicine. He leads the ongoing Wellcome (England) project
on the history of cancer in Britain, beginning from the Second World War. He is also part of a
group examining the recent history of mental health services and looking at recent changes in
the NHS more generally. He is particularly interested in the uses of history in determining
health policy. His work on Ways of Knowing grew from a conviction that through some of the
hundreds of papers produced on the history of science, technology and medicine since the
1960s, we might develop new and better frames for understanding long-term history; and that
such frames might allow more ‘fertilisation’ between case studies, across time and across
disciplines.
Pickstone is the founding Director of the Centre for the History of Science, Technology & Medicine at the
University of Manchester, and Professor of the History of Science at the Centre and at the Wellcome Unit for the
History of Medicine. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.

Neilly Series, 2006-2007
October 6 - Alan Burdick
Author of Out of Eden: An Odyssey of Ecological Invasion, Alan Burdick will discuss his latest
book. Burdick writes for numerous publications including The New York Times Magazine,
Natural History and Discover, where he is senior editor. One of his essays was featured in The
Best American Science and Nature Writing 2003. He was awarded the 1995 AAAS Science
Journalism Award for magazine feature writing and the 1992 Society of National Association
Publications for magazine features. Out of Eden is the winner of the 2005 Overseas Press
Club’s Whitman Bassow Award for best reporting in any medium on international
environmental issues, and a 2005 National Book Award finalist. Hawkins-Carlson Room,
Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
October 31 - Patch Adams, MD
The real person behind the hit movie starring Robin Williams, Patch Adams is both a healthcare
physician and a professional clown. He is founder of the Gesundheit! Institute, a holistic health
facility emphasizing laughter and humor as an essential part of the healing process. During one
pilot project, over 15,000 people were provided with free medical care at the Institute, which
integrated medicine with performing arts, arts and crafts, agriculture, nature, education,
recreation and social service. Patch Adams travels all over the world spreading his humor and
therapy, including visits to prisons and war zones. Patch Adams believes that being happy is
“the most important health factor in your life.” Co-sponsored with Wilson Commons Student
Activities and the Campus Activities Board (CAB). Hubbell Auditorium at 7 p.m.
February 15 - John Harris
Noted editor at the Washington Post, John Harris will talk about his new book about
presidential politics, The Way to Win. Its thesis is that the two people with the greatest
understanding about how to win modern presidential campaigns are Bill Clinton and Karl Rove.
Though vastly different men, with radically divergent ideas about where they would lead the
country, in fact many of Clinton's and Rove's Trade Secrets for winning elections are similar.
The person who intends to borrow from the experience and strategic lessons of both men for
her likely presidential run in 2008 is none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
John Harris was the Post's White House reporter during the Clinton presidency, and is now the
National Politics Editor. His history of Clinton's presidency, THE SURIVOR: Bill Clinton in the
White House, was a New York Times bestseller and Times notable book of the year. His second book, The Way to
Win, was written with co-author Mark Halperin, the political director of ABC News. Hawkins-Carlson Room,
Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
March 22 - Laura Nash
Senior lecturer at Harvard Business School in the Entrepreneurial Management unit, Laura
Nash will explore critical problems with dominant models of success today and how they
impact performance, leadership, and commitment in a talk titled “Just Enough—Foundation for
Lasting Success.” Nash is co- author of Just Enough: Tools for Creating Success in Your Work
and Life. Drawing on her extensive research, she presents a different model, based on the
metaphor of a kaleidoscope, which captures the chief ingredients of lasting success, i.e.,
accomplishments that “last” in satisfaction because they are worth it to you and others. Nash
explores the critical dimensions of lasting success and ways to use the model to check in,
rebalance, and set the next goals in ways that align with these deep aspirations. She explores
�what constitutes the core ingredients of real success; how to strategize productively about
your own needs and opportunities over a lifetime—not to mention the needs of others whom you care about;
how to anticipate the key reasons why high achievers can pursue a form of success that they and others around
them do not want; and how to foster a reasoned sense of Just Enough. Nash has a PhD in classical philosophy
from Harvard University and has written and taught on business ethics and leadership for twenty-five years.
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
April 19 - Lynn Freed
Author of Reading, Writing and Leaving Home, Lynn Freed will discuss her writing, including
some works not yet published. The New York Times described Reading, Writing and Leaving
Home as a wry lively series of essays that were a welcome exception from the usual writer’s
memoir, and in which “over the course of this book, she proves wonderful company,
entertaining and astute, ruthless in her willingness to sacrifice even the people she loves for
the sake of a story.” Freed displays relentless candor about the “sloughs of not writing, the
false starts, the frustration and despair.” Five of her books have appeared on The New York
Times Notable Books of the Year list: Home Ground, The Bungalow, The Mirror, House of
Women, and The Curse of the Appropriate Man. Freed is Professor of English at the University
of California at Davis. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.
May 1- John Pickstone
John Pickstone on “Describing, Analysing and Controlling Life: The Past and Present of Biomedical (& other) Sciences.” Pickstone is the author of Ways of Knowing: a New History of
Modern Science, Technology and Medicine. He leads the ongoing Wellcome (England) project
on the history of cancer in Britain, beginning from the Second World War. He is also part of a
group examining the recent history of mental health services and looking at recent changes in
the NHS more generally. He is particularly interested in the uses of history in determining
health policy. His work on Ways of Knowing grew from a conviction that through some of the
hundreds of papers produced on the history of science, technology and medicine since the
1960s, we might develop new and better frames for understanding long-term history; and that
such frames might allow more ‘fertilisation’ between case studies, across time and across
disciplines.
Pickstone is the founding Director of the Centre for the History of Science, Technology & Medicine at the
University of Manchester, and Professor of the History of Science at the Centre and at the Wellcome Unit for the
History of Medicine. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5 p.m.

Neilly Series, 2007-2008
September 25 - Craig Wolff '79
The author will discuss his forthcoming biography of Willie Mays, tracing the life of the great
baseball player from segregated Birmingham to the Major Leagues. Wolff will also discuss his
last book, My Heart Will Cross This Ocean. Written with the mother of Amadou Diallo, an
African man who died in a hail of 41 bullets fired by New York City police officers, My Heart
won a 2004 Christopher Award, honoring work that "lifts the human spirit."
Wolff is an award-winning author, a former reporter for The New York Times, a Pulitzer Prize
winner and an innovator in the way journalists approach their work. Through his writing and
teaching, he has focused on lifting the people who inhabit stories and books out of the
caricature that plagues so much of modern journalism.
A former sports, news, and feature writer for The New York Times, Wolff was part of the team awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. He is an Associate Professor in
journalism at New York University and a UR graduate. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5
p.m.
October 19 - Barbara Olshansky '82
She went before the Supreme Court and won. In 2004, she successfully argued that detainees
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, should be able to challenge their detention in US federal court. This
case, The New York Times wrote, was "the most important civil liberties case in half a century."
Olshansky recently left the Center for Constitutional Rights for the Stanford Law School's
International Law Clinic Program, where she helped to create an International Human Rights
Program. She is engaged in the International Justice Network. Olshansky is the author of
Democracy Detained; Secret Unconstitutional Practices in the US War on Terror and Secret
Trials and Executions: Military Tribunals and the Threat to Democracy and co-author of
America's Disappeared: Secret Imprisonment, Detainees, and the "War on Terror." HawkinsCarlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 3 p.m.
November 8 - Theresa Thanjan '94
Thajan is an award winning filmmaker and activist. Her documentary Whose Children Are
These? provides a gripping view into the lives of three Muslim teenagers negatively impacted
by domestic national security measures. One such program, "Special Registration," required
male non-citizens, as young as 16, from twenty-five countries to register with the Department
of Justice; a program that resulted in the deportation of nearly 14,000 men. The film
introduces Navila, an honors student who fought to have her father released from detention;
Sarfaraz, a popular basketball player who confronts pending deportation; and Hager, a young
woman who faces bias and is spurred to activism as a result.
Thanjan received her film training from NYU and Film/Video Arts. She is a 2006 Fellow in Video
at the New York Foundation for the Arts. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5
p.m.
February 21 - Tom Lewis
Lewis will discuss his latest book The Hudson: A History. He is also author of Empire of the Air:
The Men Who Made Radio and Divided Highways: The Interstate Highway System and the
Transformation of American Life. Mr. Lewis has also consulted on, written, and produced a
number of documentary films for public television, including four documentaries with Ken
Burns. His films have won numerous awards including a George Foster Peabody Award for
Broadcasting Excellence, an Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and
�Sciences for Outstanding Historical Programming, and first place from the New England Film
Festival. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5 p.m.
March 26 - Ronald Calinger
Professor of history at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, Calinger will
discuss the mathematician Leonhard Euler. The Swiss-born genius is one of the four greatest
mathematicians in history. This synopsis of his life, research, and influence set within the
framework of the European Enlightenment begins with a review of his education in Basel.
Euler's Berlin period includes his invention of the calculus of variations, his relations with
Frederick the Great, his pulse theory in optics, and his rivalry with Alexis Clairaut and Jean
d'Alembert over lunar theory. His second period in St. Petersburg includes his third lunar
theory and his contributions to integral calculus and magic squares.

April 16 - Paul R. Bowser
Bowser, professor of Aquatic and Animal Medicine at Cornell, will discuss "Viral Hemorrhagic
Septicemia in Fish in the Great Lakes Basin." Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) is an
emerging viral disease of fish in the Great Lakes ecosystem. In 2006, the virus was
documented for the first time in New York State in round gobies in the St. Lawrence River. As
a World Animal Health Organization Reportable Pathogen, the documentation of this virus has
interstate and international trade implications for fish and fish products. In response to the
finding, the USDA issued an Emergency Order that restricts the interstate movement of 37
species of fish within the 8 states bordering the Great Lakes and restricts the movement of the
same 37 species of fish from Ontario and Quebec into the US. While VHS has a relatively long
history in Europe, the disease found in the Great Lakes is behaving differently, having the
capability to infect a large number of different fish species.
While most cases of VHS have been in fish originating from the Great Lakes, cases in fish from Conesus and
Skaneateles Lakes have been found recently. A big concern is whether the virus will find its way into other bodies
of water that are not part of the contiguous Great Lakes. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5
p.m.

Neilly Series, 2007-2008
September 25 - Craig Wolff '79
The author will discuss his forthcoming biography of Willie Mays, tracing the life of the great
baseball player from segregated Birmingham to the Major Leagues. Wolff will also discuss his
last book, My Heart Will Cross This Ocean. Written with the mother of Amadou Diallo, an
African man who died in a hail of 41 bullets fired by New York City police officers, My Heart
won a 2004 Christopher Award, honoring work that "lifts the human spirit."
Wolff is an award-winning author, a former reporter for The New York Times, a Pulitzer Prize
winner and an innovator in the way journalists approach their work. Through his writing and
teaching, he has focused on lifting the people who inhabit stories and books out of the
caricature that plagues so much of modern journalism.
A former sports, news, and feature writer for The New York Times, Wolff was part of the team awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. He is an Associate Professor in
journalism at New York University and a UR graduate. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5
p.m.
October 19 - Barbara Olshansky '82
She went before the Supreme Court and won. In 2004, she successfully argued that detainees
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, should be able to challenge their detention in US federal court. This
case, The New York Times wrote, was "the most important civil liberties case in half a century."
Olshansky recently left the Center for Constitutional Rights for the Stanford Law School's
International Law Clinic Program, where she helped to create an International Human Rights
Program. She is engaged in the International Justice Network. Olshansky is the author of
Democracy Detained; Secret Unconstitutional Practices in the US War on Terror and Secret
Trials and Executions: Military Tribunals and the Threat to Democracy and co-author of
America's Disappeared: Secret Imprisonment, Detainees, and the "War on Terror." HawkinsCarlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 3 p.m.
November 8 - Theresa Thanjan '94
Thajan is an award winning filmmaker and activist. Her documentary Whose Children Are
These? provides a gripping view into the lives of three Muslim teenagers negatively impacted
by domestic national security measures. One such program, "Special Registration," required
male non-citizens, as young as 16, from twenty-five countries to register with the Department
of Justice; a program that resulted in the deportation of nearly 14,000 men. The film
introduces Navila, an honors student who fought to have her father released from detention;
Sarfaraz, a popular basketball player who confronts pending deportation; and Hager, a young
woman who faces bias and is spurred to activism as a result.
Thanjan received her film training from NYU and Film/Video Arts. She is a 2006 Fellow in Video
at the New York Foundation for the Arts. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5
p.m.
February 21 - Tom Lewis
Lewis will discuss his latest book The Hudson: A History. He is also author of Empire of the Air:
The Men Who Made Radio and Divided Highways: The Interstate Highway System and the
Transformation of American Life. Mr. Lewis has also consulted on, written, and produced a
number of documentary films for public television, including four documentaries with Ken
Burns. His films have won numerous awards including a George Foster Peabody Award for
Broadcasting Excellence, an Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and
�Sciences for Outstanding Historical Programming, and first place from the New England Film
Festival. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5 p.m.
March 26 - Ronald Calinger
Professor of history at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, Calinger will
discuss the mathematician Leonhard Euler. The Swiss-born genius is one of the four greatest
mathematicians in history. This synopsis of his life, research, and influence set within the
framework of the European Enlightenment begins with a review of his education in Basel.
Euler's Berlin period includes his invention of the calculus of variations, his relations with
Frederick the Great, his pulse theory in optics, and his rivalry with Alexis Clairaut and Jean
d'Alembert over lunar theory. His second period in St. Petersburg includes his third lunar
theory and his contributions to integral calculus and magic squares.
Calinger is the author of A Contextual History of Mathematics,1999, the editor of Classics of
Mathematics, 1995, Vita Mathematica, 1996, and the History of Mathematics Series of Johns
Hopkins University Press. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5 p.m.

baseball player from segregated Birmingham to the Major Leagues. Wolff will also discuss his
last book, My Heart Will Cross This Ocean. Written with the mother of Amadou Diallo, an
African man who died in a hail of 41 bullets fired by New York City police officers, My Heart
won a 2004 Christopher Award, honoring work that "lifts the human spirit."
Wolff is an award-winning author, a former reporter for The New York Times, a Pulitzer Prize
winner and an innovator in the way journalists approach their work. Through his writing and
teaching, he has focused on lifting the people who inhabit stories and books out of the
caricature that plagues so much of modern journalism.
A former sports, news, and feature writer for The New York Times, Wolff was part of the team awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. He is an Associate Professor in
journalism at New York University and a UR graduate. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5
p.m.
October 19 - Barbara Olshansky '82
She went before the Supreme Court and won. In 2004, she successfully argued that detainees
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, should be able to challenge their detention in US federal court. This
case, The New York Times wrote, was "the most important civil liberties case in half a century."
Olshansky recently left the Center for Constitutional Rights for the Stanford Law School's
International Law Clinic Program, where she helped to create an International Human Rights
Program. She is engaged in the International Justice Network. Olshansky is the author of
Democracy Detained; Secret Unconstitutional Practices in the US War on Terror and Secret
Trials and Executions: Military Tribunals and the Threat to Democracy and co-author of

November 8 - Theresa Thanjan '94
Thajan is an award winning filmmaker and activist. Her documentary Whose Children Are
These? provides a gripping view into the lives of three Muslim teenagers negatively impacted
by domestic national security measures. One such program, "Special Registration," required
male non-citizens, as young as 16, from twenty-five countries to register with the Department
of Justice; a program that resulted in the deportation of nearly 14,000 men. The film
introduces Navila, an honors student who fought to have her father released from detention;
Sarfaraz, a popular basketball player who confronts pending deportation; and Hager, a young
woman who faces bias and is spurred to activism as a result.
Thanjan received her film training from NYU and Film/Video Arts. She is a 2006 Fellow in Video
at the New York Foundation for the Arts. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library at 5
p.m.
February 21 - Tom Lewis
Lewis will discuss his latest book The Hudson: A History. He is also author of Empire of the Air:
The Men Who Made Radio and Divided Highways: The Interstate Highway System and the
Transformation of American Life. Mr. Lewis has also consulted on, written, and produced a
number of documentary films for public television, including four documentaries with Ken
Burns. His films have won numerous awards including a George Foster Peabody Award for
Broadcasting Excellence, an Emmy Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and
�Sciences for Outstanding Historical Programming, and first place from the New England Film
Festival. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5 p.m.
March 26 - Ronald Calinger
Professor of history at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, Calinger will
discuss the mathematician Leonhard Euler. The Swiss-born genius is one of the four greatest
mathematicians in history. This synopsis of his life, research, and influence set within the
framework of the European Enlightenment begins with a review of his education in Basel.
Euler's Berlin period includes his invention of the calculus of variations, his relations with
Frederick the Great, his pulse theory in optics, and his rivalry with Alexis Clairaut and Jean
d'Alembert over lunar theory. His second period in St. Petersburg includes his third lunar
theory and his contributions to integral calculus and magic squares.
Calinger is the author of A Contextual History of Mathematics,1999, the editor of Classics of
Mathematics, 1995, Vita Mathematica, 1996, and the History of Mathematics Series of Johns
Hopkins University Press. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5 p.m.
April 16 - Paul R. Bowser
Bowser, professor of Aquatic and Animal Medicine at Cornell, will discuss "Viral Hemorrhagic
Septicemia in Fish in the Great Lakes Basin." Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS) is an
emerging viral disease of fish in the Great Lakes ecosystem. In 2006, the virus was
documented for the first time in New York State in round gobies in the St. Lawrence River. As
a World Animal Health Organization Reportable Pathogen, the documentation of this virus has
interstate and international trade implications for fish and fish products. In response to the
finding, the USDA issued an Emergency Order that restricts the interstate movement of 37
species of fish within the 8 states bordering the Great Lakes and restricts the movement of the
same 37 species of fish from Ontario and Quebec into the US. While VHS has a relatively long
history in Europe, the disease found in the Great Lakes is behaving differently, having the
capability to infect a large number of different fish species.
While most cases of VHS have been in fish originating from the Great Lakes, cases in fish from Conesus and
Skaneateles Lakes have been found recently. A big concern is whether the virus will find its way into other bodies
of water that are not part of the contiguous Great Lakes. Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library, at 5
p.m.

September 23—Sanford Thatcher
Sanford Thatcher will discuss open access, which is viewed by librarians and their allies in
academic administration as an antidote to the domination of certain sectors of higher education
publishing by a few large internationally active companies. The talk will explore the various
dimensions of the phenomenon, including the relative absence of discussion about open access
as it affects book publishing, and attempt an assessment of its promises and pitfalls as a way
to effect change to a new model, or models.
Thatcher is the former director of Penn State University Press. His most significant
achievement was to forge a working relationship with the Penn State Libraries that resulted in
the joint launching of the Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing in 2005, followed by the merger
of the Press into the Libraries later that year. He has served on many boards, including the Copyright Committee
of the Association of American University Presses, the Association of American Publishers, and the Association for
Copyright Enforcement, overseeing the landmark suit against Texaco. In retirement, he will continue to work
part-time as an acquiring editor in social sciences for Penn State University Press. This lecture celebrates the

September 23—Sanford Thatcher
Sanford Thatcher will discuss open access, which is viewed by librarians and their allies in
academic administration as an antidote to the domination of certain sectors of higher education
publishing by a few large internationally active companies. The talk will explore the various
dimensions of the phenomenon, including the relative absence of discussion about open access
as it affects book publishing, and attempt an assessment of its promises and pitfalls as a way
to effect change to a new model, or models.
Thatcher is the former director of Penn State University Press. His most significant
achievement was to forge a working relationship with the Penn State Libraries that resulted in
the joint launching of the Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing in 2005, followed by the merger
of the Press into the Libraries later that year. He has served on many boards, including the Copyright Committee
of the Association of American University Presses, the Association of American Publishers, and the Association for
Copyright Enforcement, overseeing the landmark suit against Texaco. In retirement, he will continue to work
part-time as an acquiring editor in social sciences for Penn State University Press. This lecture celebrates the
20th Anniversary of the University of Rochester Press.

Neilly Series Lecture: Lily Koppel
All Systems Go: "The Astronaut Wives Club" and
Redemptive Non-Fiction Female Literature
Rush Rhees Library, Hawkins-Carlson Room
April 8, 2015 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Lily Koppel is the New York Times bestselling author of The
Astronaut Wives Club, in which she gives readers a behind-thescenes look at the lives of a group of women that helped to define
an era and usher in a new age of women. As America's Mercury
Seven astronauts were launched on death-defying missions,
television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their young
wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from military
spouses into American royalty. They had tea with Jackie Kennedy,
appeared on the cover of Life magazine, and quickly grew into
fashion icons.
Annie Glenn, with her picture-perfect marriage, was the envy of
the other wives; platinum-blonde Rene Carpenter was proclaimed
JFK's favorite; and licensed pilot Trudy Cooper arrived on base
with a secret. Together with the other wives they formed the
Astronaut Wives Club, meeting regularly to provide support and
friendship. Many became next-door neighbors and helped to raise each other's children by day, while going to
glam parties at night as the country raced to land a man on the Moon.
As their celebrity rose — and as divorce and tragic death began to touch their lives — they continued to rally
together, and the wives have now been friends for more than fifty years. The Astronaut Wives Club tells the real
story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in American history.
The Astronaut Wives Club is being made into a television series on ABC, with head writer Stephanie Savage,
creator of Gossip Girl.
Koppel was born and raised in Chicago. After graduating from Barnard College with a degree in English and
creative writing, she worked at the New York Times reporting on celebrities. Gawker called her "The Bravest
Gossip Reporter Ever." She has written for the New York Times, the New York Times Magazine, the Daily Beast,
the Huffington Post, and Glamour, and has appeared on TODAY, Morning Joe, and National Public Radio. Koppel's
first book, The Red Leather Diary, introduced readers to her one-of-a-kind journalistic adventures - recovering a
young woman's diary from a trunk found in a dumpster outside of her Manhattan apartment and embarking on a
treasure hunt to find its owner decades later. She lives in New York City with her husband and their two spacey
rescue dogs, Ozzy and Lucky.
Koppel will be introduced by Nora Rubel, director of the Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender and Women's
Studies, and associate professor in the Department of Religion and Classics.
A special exhibition curated by staff members in the Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and
Preservation will be on view during the event. The display shares the story of how the Rochester community
contributed to the space race of the 1960s. Materials highlight Kodak’s development of the photography equipment
that captured some of the first images of the moon from the Apollo 11 lunar orbiter. The exhibition also includes
photographs of Edward G. Gibson’s experience as an astronaut in the Skylab mission of 1973. Gibson is a 1959
graduate of the University of Rochester.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot.

Neilly Series Lecture: Sarah Rodriguez
"The Medical Use of Female Circumcision and Cultural
Ideas (and Ideals) of Female Sexuality in the United
States, 1860s-Present"
Rush Rhees Library, Hawkins-Carlson Room
March 5, 2015 7:00pm to 8:00pm
From the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth
century, American physicians treated women and girls for
masturbation by removing the clitoris (clitoridectomy) or clitoral
hood (female circumcision). During this same time, and
continuing to today, physicians also performed female
circumcision to enable women to reach orgasm. Though used as
treatment, paradoxically, for both a perceived excessive sexuality
and a perceived lack of sexual responsiveness, these surgeries
reflect a consistent medical conception of the clitoris as a sexual
organ. In recent years the popular media and academics have
commented on the rising popularity in the United States of female
genital cosmetic surgeries, including female circumcision, yet
these discussions often assume such procedures are new.
In Female Circumcision and Clitoridectomy in the United States: A
History of a Medical Treatment, Sarah Rodriguez presents an
engaging and surprising history of surgeries on the clitoris, revealing how medical views of the female body and
female sexuality have changed -- and in some cases not changed -- throughout the last century and a half.
During her talk, Rodriguez will trace the medical use of female circumcision in the United States as therapy for
adult women who either masturbated or who failed to have an orgasm with their husband. Though seemingly
paradoxical, with one use meant to curb sexual expression, the other to enhance, the use of female circumcision
as therapy for each condition reveals both a medical understanding of the clitoris as an important sexual organ as
well as cultural understanding of what constituted normal sexual expression for women.
Sarah Rodriguez is a lecturer in the Medical Humanities and Bioethics Program, Feinberg School of Medicine, and a
lecturer in the Global Health Studies, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, at Northwestern University. She is a
medical historian interested in women’s health in the 20th century, in particular women’s reproductive and sexual
health. Female Circumcision and Clitoridectomy in the United States: A History of a Medical Treatment, is her first
book.
She will be introduced by Theodore M. Brown, PhD, professor of history and medical humanities, and the Charles
E. and Dale L. Phelps Professor of Public Health and Policy at the University of Rochester.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot.

<div class="normalFont">
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">From the late nineteenth </span>century through the mid-twentieth century, American physicians treated women and girls for masturbation by removing the clitoris (clitoridectomy) or clitoral hood (female circumcision). During this same time, and continuing to today, physicians also performed female circumcision to enable women to reach orgasm. Though used as treatment, paradoxically, for both a perceived excessive sexuality and a perceived lack of sexual responsiveness, these surgeries reflect a consistent medical conception of the clitoris as a sexual organ. In recent years the popular media and academics have commented on the rising popularity in the United States of female genital cosmetic surgeries, including female circumcision, yet these discussions often assume such procedures are new. In <em><span><a href="http://bit.ly/femalecircumcisionbook" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Female Circumcision and Clitoridectomy in the United States: A History of a Medical Treatment</a></span></em>, Sarah Rodriguez, Ph.D., presents an engaging and surprising history of surgeries on the clitoris, revealing how medical views of the female body and female sexuality have changed -- and in some cases not changed -- throughout the last century and a half.</p>
</div>
<div class="normalFont">
<p class="p2">During her talk, Rodriguez traced the medical use of female circumcision in the United States as therapy for adult women who either masturbated or who failed to have an orgasm with their husband. Though seemingly paradoxical, with one use meant to curb sexual expression, the other to enhance, the use of female circumcision as therapy for each condition reveals both a medical understanding of the clitoris as an important sexual organ as well as cultural understanding of what constituted normal sexual expression for women.</p>
<p class="p2">Rodriguez is a lecturer in the Medical Humanities and Bioethics Program, Feinberg School of Medicine, and a lecturer in the Global Health Studies, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, at Northwestern University. She is a medical historian interested in women’s health in the 20th century, in particular women’s reproductive and sexual health. <em>Female Circumcision and Clitoridectomy in the United States: A History of a Medical Treatment</em>, is her first book. </p>
<p class="p1">She was introduced by <a href="http://bit.ly/tedbrown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span>Theodore M. Brown</span></a>, Ph.D., professor of history and medical humanities, and the Charles E. and Dale L. Phelps Professor of Public Health and Policy at the University of Rochester.</p>

Neilly Series Lecture: Fred Guterl '81
"The Fate of the Species: Why the Human Race May
Cause Its Own Extinction and How We Can Stop It"
Rush Rhees Library, Hawkins-Carlson Room
February 25, 2015 7:00pm to 8:00pm
“The sixth ‘mass extinction event’ in the history of planet Earth is
currently under way, with over two hundred species dying off
every day. Will Homo sapiens be next—a victim of its own
success? Humans dominate the Earth, and as our population
approaches nine billion, we are more densely packed, more
interconnected–and more vulnerable to disease, natural disaster,
or technological crisis–than ever before.”
In The Fate of the Species, Fred Guterl offers “a riveting and
necessary thought experiment–not merely a scary story, but a
fresh perspective on the world we have reshaped through our
ingenuity, for better and worse.”
Guterl is the executive editor of Scientific American and has been
writing about science for more than 25 years. His narrative
in Discover, "Riddles in the Sand,” won the Journalism Award from
the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The
Overseas Press Club honored his Newsweek article, "The Wasteland," for environmental writing. Guterl
led Scientific American to a General Excellence Award from the National Society of Magazine Editors in 2011 for
the first time in its 169-year history. Formerly deputy editor at Newsweek International and an editor
of Discover and IEEE Spectrum, he has also worked as a foreign correspondent based in London, England. He has
appeared on CNN, Charlie Rose, The Today Show, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to discuss popular issues
in science.
Guterl holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Rochester, and has taught science
writing at Princeton University. He lives in the New York City area.
He will be introduced by Adam Frank, professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot.

Neilly Series Lecture: Len Joy
"American Past Time"
Rush Rhees Library, Hawkins-Carlson Room
January 21, 2015 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Published in April 2014, American Past Time tells the story of
the disintegration and redemption of a family after a minor league
baseball player fails to make it to the major leagues. It touches on
events in American history from the early 50s to the end of the
Vietnam War.
During his talk, Joy will trace his life’s journey from high school
jock to serious college student; from little fish in a big company
pond to the grand poobah and supposed master of his destiny as
the owner of a small manufacturing company; and then finally,
late in life, to changing course again and deciding to pursue a
career as a writer. He will speak about his writing journey and
how he used his experiences with sports and with running a
factory to inform American Past Time.
Joy is a 1973 graduate of the University of Rochester and a 1974
graduate of the Graduate School of Management (now the Simon
School). He has been married for forty-one years to Suzanne
Sawada ’73, whom he met during his first year at Rochester.
For thirteen years, Joy worked for USG Corporation in Chicago in a variety of financial and strategic planning
positions. During his tenure at USG, he became a CPA. In 1989, he acquired a small engine remanufacturing
company in Phoenix. For the next fifteen years, he and his brother-in-law built Engine Supply, Inc. into the major
supplier of remanufactured engines to large retail chain stores such as Auto Zone, NAPA, and Advance Auto Parts.
In 2003, Joy enrolled in an evening writing class at the University of Chicago. Over the next ten years, he took
several more writing courses and attended numerous writer workshops including the Iowa Festival, Tin House,
Squaw Valley Community of Writers, Norman Mailer, Skidmore, Sewanee, and Bread Loaf.
His short fiction has appeared in FWRICTION: Review, The Journal of Compressed Creative Arts,Johnny
America, Specter Magazine, Washington Pastime, Hobart, Annalemma, and Pindeldyboz. In April 2014, his
novel, American Past Time, was published by Hark! New Era Publishing.
Joy is a competitive age-group triathlete. In June 2012 he completed his first (and probably only) Ironman at
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. He lives in Evanston, Illinois with his wife Suzanne and his two artist daughters who plan to
leave home soon. He has a son who is completing his Ph.D. in Chemistry from NYU.
Joy will be introduced by Curt Smith, senior lecturer in the Department of English.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot.

Neilly Series Lecture: Ayad Akhtar
"American Dervish:" Muslim American Culture and
Family Life
Rush Rhees Library, Hawkins-Carlson Room
November 10, 2014 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Ayad Akhtar is the author of the critically acclaimed, poignant,
coming-of-age novel, American Dervish. Since its debut, the book
has been embraced around the world for the richness of its
characters and illuminating the everyday lives of Muslim
Americans, earning Akhtar a rightful place alongside today's most
compelling storytellers.
In all of his writing, Akhtar attempts to open a window on the
vibrant and complex reality of the Muslim American experience. In
American Dervish, he has blown the door open on this world,
demonstrating a deft understanding of faith and our complex
relationship with it and of pubescent love and caprice.
The novel centers on one family's struggle to identify both as
Muslim and American, one boy's devotion to his faith, and the
sometimes tragic implications of extremism. As an American-born,
first-generation Pakistani-American, Akhtar wanted to recount the
rarely told coming-of-age story of a Muslim-American boy. The Shah family copes with faith and belonging in pre9/11 suburbia, and through them the reader understands the struggles, challenges, value, and cost of being
Muslim in America.
Published in 25 languages worldwide, American Dervish was voted a 2012 Best Book of the Year at Kirkus
Reviews, Toronto's Globe and Mail, Shelf-Awareness, and O (Oprah) Magazine.
Akhtar is also a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and screenwriter. His stage play Disgraced won the 2013 Pulitzer
Prize for Drama as well as the Jeff Equity Award for Best New Play in 2012. Disgraced is the story of a successful
Pakistani-American lawyer whose dinner party spins out of control amid a heated discussion of identity and
religion.
As a screenwriter, he was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Screenplay for The War Within. He
has received commissions from Lincoln Center and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
Akhtar was born in New York City and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is a graduate of Brown and Columbia
Universities with degrees in Theater and Film Directing. He was briefly enrolled at the University of Rochester,
where his talent for creative writing was recognized in a fiction class. Since the 1990s he has been a resident of
New York City, where he has taught acting on his own and alongside Andre Gregory (My Dinner with Andre, Vanya
on 42nd Street).
Akhtar will be introduced by one of his former Rochester instructors, Dr. Th. Emil Homerin, professor of religion
and chair of the Department of Religion and Classics.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot.
The Neilly Series is supported by the Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowment and the River Campus
Libraries at the University of Rochester.

Neilly Series Lecture: Allen Kurzweil
"Whipping Boy"
Rush Rhees Library, Hawkins-Carlson Room
October 28, 2015 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Without time, we cannot learn. Without time, we cannot heal.
-Allen Kurzweil
Novelist, journalist, teacher, and inventor, Allen Kurzweil shares
his unusual story of trauma and transcendence in his nonfiction
chronicle, Whipping Boy. In the book, Kurzweil records his
decades-long search for the boarding school bully who tormented
him when he was just 10-years-old, and confronts the emotional
and personal toll that resulted from that youthful encounter by
facing down his ancient demon. An “investigative memoir” born of
trauma and nourished by obsession, Whipping Boy provides a lens
through which audiences young and not-so-young can reflect
upon and overcome their own experiences of childhood injustice.
Kurzweil has earned high praise for his talks on writing, financial
fraud, creativity, the dividends of procrastination, and the central
place of libraries in American society. He regularly speaks before
schools, religious organizations, and in corporate settings large and small.
Educated at Yale and the University of Rome, Kurzweil has written for numerous publications, including the New
Yorker, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Vanity Fair. He has received fellowships from the
Guggenheim Foundation, the Fulbright Commission, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Center
for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library. In addition to his investigative work, Kurzweil is the
author of literary fiction (A Case of Curiosities, The Grand Complication), children’s books (the
bestselling Leon series), and experiment kits (Potato Chip Science).
The lecture is free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the Library Lot.
The Neilly Series is supported by the Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowment and the River Campus

Neilly Series Lecture: Cristina Henríquez
"The Book of Unknown Americans"
Rush Rhees Library, Hawkins-Carlson Room
November 18, 2015 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Cristina Henríquez is the author of Come Together, Fall Apart: A
Novella and Stories, The World in Half, and most recently, The
Book of Unknown Americans—a dazzling page-turner about
a family’s hopes for its new life in America.
The hardships and legal battles of immigration are in the
headlines every day, yet the nitty-gritty, humor, and heart behind
them have rarely been brought to the page. In writing The Book
of Unknown Americans, Henríquez was inspired by her father’s
Panamà-to-U.S. immigration story and other experiences of real
people in Delaware, where she grew up. The novel has been
called “a flawlessly written book about immigration.” It is one of
the New York Times’ Notable Books of 2014 and made it onto
many other Best of 2014 book lists, including those of
the Washington Post and NPR.
Henríquez grew up half-American, half-Panamanian. In her
lectures, she speaks about identity and addresses common
narratives about immigration. A gifted writer with a great talent for creating intimate and authentic character
portraits, Henríquez also speaks to aspiring writers about the writer’s creative and technical process. Her work has
appeared in the New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal, and she has been a guest on National Public Radio. She
earned her M.F.A. from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and currently teaches at Northwestern University.
Henríquez will be a guest on WXXI's Connections with Evan Dawson on November 17 at 12 p.m.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the Library Lot.
The Neilly Series is supported by the Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowment and the River Campus
Libraries at the University of Rochester. For more information, click here or call 585-275-4461.

Neilly Series Lecture: Carol J. Adams '72
"The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian
Critical Theory"
Rush Rhees Library, Hawkins-Carlson Room
March 16, 2016 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Carol J. Adams is the author of The Sexual Politics of Meat: A
Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory. First published in 1990, the
book has been translated into many languages, and will soon
have editions in Spanish, Italian, Croatian, and French.
Bloomsbury Publishing recognized the 25th anniversary of its
publication by selecting it for the Bloomsbury Revelations “Series
of Books that Change Consciousness.”
The Sexual Politics of Meat explores a relationship between
patriarchal values and meat-eating by interweaving the insights of
feminism, vegetarianism, animal defense, and literary theory. The
book describes how a process of objectification, fragmentation,
and consumption enables the oppression of animals so they are
rendered being-less through technology, language, and cultural
representation. This cycle links butchering with both the
representation and reality of sexual violence in Western cultures
that have a tendency to normalize sexual consumption.
Adams is the author and editor of more than 20 other books, including The Bedside, Bathtub, and Armchair
Guide to Jane Austen. She has written a pastoral care guide on woman-battering, books of prayers for animals,
and most recently co-authored Never Too Late to Go Vegan: The Over-50 Guide to Adopting and Thriving on a
Plant-Based Diet. She also co-edited the anthology, Ecofeminism: Feminist Intersections with Other Animals and
the Earth.
Adams graduated from the University of Rochester in 1972 with degrees in English and history. While an
undergraduate, she advocated for the first women’s studies classes that were taught at the University, and was
one of the organizers of the 1971 feminist protest of the all-male Boars Head dinner that restricted women to the
role of playing barmaid. She received a Master of Divinity degree from Yale University in 1976.
For a decade after graduation, Adams served as the director of the Chautauqua County (NY) Rural Ministry, a notfor-profit organization that works with resettled migrant workers and other dislocated and at-risk individuals. Since
1987, she has lived in Dallas, Texas with her spouse, the Rev. Bruce A. Buchanan.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the Library Lot.
The Neilly Series is supported by the Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowment and the River Campus
Libraries at the University of Rochester.

Neilly Series Lecture:Lauren Holmes
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
November 10, 2016 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Lauren Holmes received her BA from Wellesley College and MFA
from Hunter College. Her first book, Barbara the Slut and Other
People, was named a Best Book of 2015 by NPR and Publisher's
Weekly among other publications.

the millennial experience and its unique challenges. Her
characters are teenagers and young adults trying to navigate a
world that is becoming increasingly more complicated and
unpredictable as childish expectations face grown-up realities.
Holmes' choice of topics makes her a subtle commentator on
twenty-first-century issues. Her book touches upon immigration,
sexual identity, urban alienation, bullying, online dating, and slutshaming with nuance, humor, and compassion.
She currently lives in upstate New York.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is
available in the Library Lot. The Neilly Series is supported by the
Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowment and the River
Campus Libraries at the University of Rochester.For more information, call 585-275-4461.

Neilly Series Lecture: Jenny Nordberg
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Libraries
February 28, 2017 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Jenny Nordberg is an award-winning journalist, columnist, and
television producer. She has worked around the globe reporting
on nuclear proliferation, foreign aid, human trafficking, the global
financial crisis, as well as many human rights issues. She is
currently a foreign correspondent for Swedish newspaper Svenska
Dagblade.
Nordberg was part of a New York Times team that investigated
the United States' efforts to export democracy to Haiti, and that
won the Pulitzer Prize for its work on the American freight railroad
system. She has also produced and written several documentaries
for American television.
Her book, The Underground Girls of Kabul, explored the "bacha
posh" phenomenon - girls who are raised disguised as boys in
gender-segregated Afghanistan. Translated into more than ten
languages, the book raises new questions about gender in
children and adolescents, nature versus nurture, religion,
sexuality, and the roles of women in war.
Nordberg holds a B.A. in Law and Journalism from Stockholm University, and a M.A. from Columbia University's
Graduate School of Journalism.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in the Library Lot.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>As a young man, Garrard Conley, the son of a Baptist pastor in a small Arkansas town, was terrified and conflicted about his sexuality. When he was a nineteen-year-old college student, he was forced to make a life-changing decision: attend a church-supported conversion therapy program that promised to cure him of homosexuality; or risk losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his life.</p>
<p>Through an institutionalized Twelve-Step Program heavy on Bible study, he was supposed to emerge heterosexual and be cleansed of impure urges, stronger in his faith in God for his brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with such a harrowing and brutal journey, Conley found the strength to break out in search of his true self and find the power to forgive himself and his environment. In <i>Boy Erased: A Memoir</i>, he confronts his buried past and the burden of a life lived in shadow, and traces his complex relationships with his family, faith, and community.</p>

An account of the resource
<p>Set within a contemporary black community in Southern California, Brit Bennett’s mesmerizing first novel, <i>The Mothers</i>, is an emotionally perceptive story about community, love, and ambition.</p>
<p>By employing entrancing, lyrical prose, <i>The Mothers</i> asks whether a “what if” can be more powerful than an experience itself. If, as time passes, we must always live in servitude to the decisions of our younger selves, to the communities that have parented us, and to the decisions we make that shape our lives forever.</p>
<p>Bennett graduated from Stanford University and later earned her MFA in fiction at the University of Michigan, where she won a Hopwood Award in Graduate Short Fiction as well as the 2014 Hurston/Wright Award for College Writers. Her work was featured in <i>The New Yorker</i>, the <i>New York Times Magazine</i>, the <i>Paris Review</i>, and <i>Jezebel</i>. She is one of the National Book Foundation’s 2016-5 Under 35 honorees.</p>

An account of the resource
<p>Our brains are the foundation for who were are—they store our memories, give rise to our emotions, and enable us to look to the future. But our brains remain a <i>terra incognita</i>, an inner continent that remains barely explored. Only recently have scientists begun to map the brain in its full complexity, some 80 billion neurons and their trillions of connections with each other.</p>
<p>The results, while early, are mind-blowing. Already, brain-mapping has improved people’s lives, enabling scientists to implant electrodes in the brain to help people with Parkinson’s regain their ability to walk, and also to give paralyzed people the power to control computers. Zimmer will discuss the manner in which brain mapping may point to better ways of treating disorders such as autism, depression, and Alzheimer’s disease, and, perhaps, help us gain an insight into human nature itself.</p>
<p>Carl Zimmer, in the words of the <i>New York Times Book Review</i>, “is as fine a science essayist as we have.” He was awarded the National Academies Communication Award, and is a three-time winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science Journalism Award. Zimmer is a columnist for the <i>New York Times</i>, and writes regularly for magazines such as <i>National Geographic</i> and <i>Wired</i>. He is also the author of thirteen widely praised books. </p>
