Learn about image methods used in USC laboratories and identifying possible active groups at the USC for collaboration.

The workshop will be lead by Susan Forsburg, professor of Molecular and Computational Biology and Center for Excellence in Research Fellow.

Diverse imaging methods including confocal and deconvolution light microscopy and electron microscopy are in use in labs at USC to investigate cellular structures and functions. The workshop will describe some of these methods and relevant instrumentation, and help identify possibilities for collaboration with currently active groups or units; it will also inform more experienced investigators of the diversity of approaches already in use. The session will serve as the founding meeting for an imaging super-group at the University Park Campus.

Tickets are £8 to include a glass of wine or fruit juice. Available from Alison Wakefield on 0207 529 1563 or email alison_wakefield@esu.org. Copies of the author's book will be available for signing and purchase. Mike Hulme is Professor of Climate Change at the University of East Anglia and Founding Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. He will present his new book: Why We Disagree About Climate Change: Understanding Controversy, Inaction and Opportunity Drawing upon 25 years of professional work as an international climate change scientist and public commentator, Mike Hulme provides a unique insider’s account of the emergence of this phenomenon and the diverse ways in which it is understood. He uses different standpoints from science, economics, faith, psychology, communication, sociology, politics and development to explain why we disagree about climate change. In this way he shows that climate change, far from being simply an ‘issue’ or a ‘threat’,can act as a catalyst to revise our perception of our place in the world. Why We Disagree About Climate Change is an important contribution to the ongoing debate over climate change and its likely impact on our lives. ‘This is a very rare book. A scientifi c book about climate change, that deals both with the science, and our own personal response to this science. It does all this supremely well, and should be compulsory reading for both sceptics and advocates. However, it does so much more, it is a book of great modesty and humanity. It uses climate change to ask questions more broadly about our own beliefs, assumptions and prejudices, and how we make individual and collective decisions.’ Chris Mottershead, Distinguished Advisor, BP p.l.c.

Opening Reception: November 7, 5:30−7:00 pm Curated by Nancy E. Green Organized by the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University Organized to coincide with the 100-year anniversary of Bloomsbury’s beginnings, A Room of Their Own: The Bloomsbury Artists in American Collections will examine the American reception of the art produced between 1910 and the 1970s by the Bloomsbury artists and their associates and collaborators. The exhibition will include over 190 paintings, watercolors, drawings, books from the Hogarth Press, and decorative works from the Omega Workshops, and will focus on how this small group of artists made its imprint on the cultural thinking of their day. “A hundred years after the Bloomsbury group was established,” says Nancy E. Green, the organizing curator and the Gale and Ira Drukier Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Johnson Museum, “their story still resonates and brings together a variety of interests across many artistic and intellectual pursuits.” The name Bloomsbury conjures up an image of early twentieth-century Bohemia, where a core group of literary friends that included Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, and E. M. Forster were joined by a host of other writers, including D. H. Lawrence; philosophers such as Bertrand Russell; economist John Maynard Keynes; and poets like T. S. Eliot. But Bloomsbury was much more richly patterned and complex than even this eminent list suggests. A group of fine artists, including Virginia Woolf’s sister Vanessa Bell, critic and painter Roger Fry, Lytton Strachey’s talented cousin Duncan Grant, and Dora Carrington, Strachey’s longtime companion, formed the nucleus of visual Bloomsbury. Although of another place and time, the Bloomsbury group confronted issues that are remarkably current: international crises, war, the value of craft in an industrialized world, women’s rights, environmental protection, and the search for the true, the good, and the beautiful in their art and their lives. The exhibition, by examining the group’s responses to these issues, provides a valuable mirror on how people can address similar concerns today. Two important works from the Mills College Art Museum are included in the exhibition. Self-Portrait, ca. 1926, by Vanessa Bell and Self-Portrait, by Duncan Grant are recent acquisitions generously bequeathed by Carolyn G. Heilbrun. A Room of Their Own is accompanied by a complete exhibition catalogue, distributed by Cornell University Press, with essays by leading Bloomsbury scholars: Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina, the Kathe Tappe Vernon Professor in Biography, Dartmouth College; Honorary Visiting Professor, University of Exeter in Devon, England; and author of Carrington: A Life; Benjamin Harvey, Assistant Professor of Art History, Mississippi State University; Mark Hussey, Professor of English and Women’s and Gender Studies, Pace University; and Christopher Reed, Associate Professor of English and Visual Culture, The Pennsylvania State University, who co-edited the catalogue with curator and contributor Nancy Green. Museum is open Tuesday-Sunday 11am-4pm, Wednesday 11am-7:30pm. For more information please contact museum@mills.edu or call 510-430-2164.

Webster University’s Holden Public Policy Forum will hold a series of “Pizza and Politics” events during the fall semester to discuss important issues and topics facing Missouri with key members of the Nixon administration and other state leaders. The third event, which is free and open to the public, and which includes free pizza and beverages for attendees, features Rep. Chris Kelly and Ed Martin in the Term Limit Debate. Hear both sides of the issue surrounding term limits in the Missouri House and Senate. Lawmakers are now allowed to serve eight years each in the House and Senate. Rep. Kelly suggests that 12 years in each chamber might be more appropriate, while Martin, who heads the St. Louis-based Term Limits for Missouri organization, counters this position. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Pizza and Politics” is a town hall-style meeting, moderated by Forum founder and former Mo. Gov. Bob Holden, where public policy makers, members of the community and students discuss the political process and key issues of the day. The Holden Public Policy Forum at Webster University is a bi-partisan speaker series, created by former Mo. Gov. Bob Holden and Webster University, to bring public policy leaders to St. Louis to discuss key national and international issues.

Pablo Vargas Lugo's WorkSpace project, Eclipses for Austin, explores solar eclipses as important collective rituals. Total eclipses of the sun provoke astonishment, anxiety, hope, joy and fear and compel those who witness them to reassess their place in the world. For Lugo's project, 500 people will gather in the university's Derrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium to stage the next ten solar eclipses that will occur in Texas over the course of 340 years. In a carefully choreographed performance, participants will hold up black and white cards to create a picture of each eclipse. The performance will be documented on video and in a newspaper that visitors will be able to keep. Ultimately, the work seeks to address a sense of belonging that a collective activity can inspire in a group - even one made up of diverse members.
