Bringing Back the American Chestnut
Sunday, October 3, 2021
2:00PM to 3:00PM
Zoom (Virtual)
This talk will touch on the importance and recent tragic history of this iconic tree, which once dominated Eastern forests but was virtually wiped out by an imported blight that appeared in the early 1900s. The talk will describe the challenges and describe the several varied strategies underway that are part of the effort to help propel the tree over what researchers have called "the cusp of extinction" and to re-establish it in the North American forest. These strategies include traditional breeding, biological control of the blight fungus, genetic engineering, and finding and propagating surviving American chestnuts. The talk will include a simplified description of the genetics involved in developing a blight-resistant tree that can thrive in the forest environment.

The Contest of the Fruits - Red-Black Thread Lecture-Performance with Slavs and Tatars and Professor Zain Abdullah
Wednesday, October 27, 2021
4:30PM to 6:30PM
Online Event
Red-Black Thread explores the construction of black identity not from the traditional Anglophone and Francophone worlds of the Atlantic but rather from the Russophone idiom of imperial Russia and the Soviet Union. Commissioned by the Walker and Metropolitan Museums on the occasion of the Siah Armajani retrospective “Follow This Line”, Red-Black Thread looks at the experience of labor, race, and sexuality from a shared Russian/Soviet and African-American perspective to better understand failed promises of conviviality and co-existence. Free with RSVP.
