Join us for a biweekly Coffee Break in the Student Union RM 103 at the Storrs campus where you can find some time away from the office to enjoy your coffee alone or in conversation with your colleagues.A virtual option is available here: https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=m4c0b5c177a1e825f40652ddda2e8e887

11/6 UCHI Fellow’s Talk: Daniel Hershenzon on the Enslavement of Muslims in Early Modern Spain
UCHI Fellow’s Talk: Daniel Hershenzon on the Enslavement of Muslims in Early Modern Spain
Wednesday, November 6th, 20243:30 PM - 4:45 PM Homer Babbidge LibraryThis talk focuses on a barely perceptible local custom practiced by enslaved and enslavers in the port city of Malaga (Spain) during much of the 17th century—the right pregnant cortada slaves had to free their child in utero, and in so doing to free them of their enslavers’ dominium. Hershenzon argues that the practice, alongside labor and residence, was one of the foundations of the local enslavement regime. In this system, enslaved Maghrebis negotiated a cortado (literally ‘cut’) agreement with their enslavers as part of which they were allowed to labor and reside outside their enslavers’ household in return for a daily or weekly payments until they paid the ransom fee upon which the parties agreed. Ransom in utero entailed protection from forced conversion, breaking the chain of status inheritability, that slavery lasted one generation, no more, and that these children ransomed in utero were allowed to return to the Maghrib, right which converted Muslims did not possess.
Daniel Hershenzon is an associate professor in the Department of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages at the University of Connecticut. His awards-winning book, The Captive Sea: Slavery, Commerce, and Communication in Early Modern Spain and the Mediterranean (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018), explores the 17th century entangled histories of Spain, Morocco, and Ottoman Algiers. Hershenzon has published articles in Past and Present, Annales-HSS, Journal of Early Modern History, African Economic History, History Compass, Philological Encounters, and in edited volumes. His research has been supported by the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, the ACLS, NEH, and other grant foundations. While at UCHI, he will work on “The Maghrib in Spain: Enslavement, Citizenship, and Belonging in the Early Modern Spanish Mediterranean.” Revising the dominant historiographic narratives about early modern Spain, “The Maghrib in Spain” offers the first comprehensive account of North Africans in post-expulsion Spain..
Fumilayo Showers is an assistant professor with a joint appointment in the Sociology department, where she directs the Health Professions, Health Care, and Social Inequality Lab, and the Africana Studies Institute. Her research centers on race, gender, and US immigration; the social organization of health and long-term care; health professions; care work; and immigrant workers. Her book, Migrants Who Care: West Africans Working and Building Lives in US Health Care (Rutgers University Press, 2023) is the first book to document the experiences of recent West African immigrants in a range of health care occupations in the US (nursing, disability support, elderly care). Her current research projects focus on tracing changes to US health care systems and the experiences of frontline health care workers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; the study and practice of biomedicine in non-western contexts; and the global migration of health professionals.

11/7 From Salvage to Survivance: Vibrations of Memory in Refugee Literature
From Salvage to Survivance: Vibrations of Memory in Refugee Literature
Thursday, November 7th, 20243:35 PM - 4:45 PMAs global displacement continues to rise, so too will the field of refugee literature continue to expand into new directions. Literature serves as a consistently powerful medium for capturing the intricacies of refugee experiences and transcending the often reductive rhetoric of mainstream discourse that tends to reduce refugees to stereotypes of victim or criminal. For decades, the field of refugee literature has embraced narratives that highlight the multifaceted nature of the refugee figure while providing a means for refugees to explore and reclaim their own histories. This lecture will investigate these possibilities by analyzing the political and aesthetic intersections within refugee literature. We will look at narrative examples that demonstrate the complexities of refugee memory work and how writers and artists can go beyond the limits of language to create resonant connections between reader and text. Together, we will examine these connections and their creative potential for combating identity erasure, bearing historical witness, and serving as alternative forms of archive for survival migrants.

11/8 COGS, ECOM & SLHS Talk: Dr. Viorica Marian
COGS, ECOM & SLHS Talk: Dr. Viorica Marian
Friday, November 8th, 20244:00 PM - 5:30 PM McHugh HallBio: Viorica Marian is a cognitive scientist at Northwestern University, where she is the Sundin Endowed Professor and Director of the Bilingualism Lab. She studies the relationship between language and mind, with a focus on the psycholinguistics of bilingualism and multilingualism. Dr. Marian received her PhD in Psychology from Cornell University and previously served as Chair of the National Institutes of Health Study Section on Language and Communication and as Chair of the Northwestern Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. She is the recipient of the American Association for the Advancement of Science John McGovern Award, The Psychonomic Society Mid-Career Award, the Clarence Simon Award for Outstanding Teaching and Mentoring, and the Editor’s Award for best paper from JSLHR. Marian’s new popular science book “The Power of Language” is being translated into 12 languages and counting.
Talk Title: The Power of Language: How the Codes We Use to Think, Speak, and Live Transform Our Minds
Abstract: Bilingualism and multilingualism have profound consequences for individuals and societies. Learning multiple languages changes not only how we use language, but also how we perceive the world, what we remember, how we learn, our creativity, decision making, and identity. I will present eye-tracking, mouse-tracking, and neuroimaging evidence showing that multiple languages continuously interact in the mind. I will conclude with a call for placing the study of language-mind interaction and multilingualism among the core areas of scientific investigation if we are to gain an accurate understanding of humanity’s potential.

11/12 Of Displacement and Resilience: The Emergence of Rohingya Rickshaw Art in Bangladesh
Of Displacement and Resilience: The Emergence of Rohingya Rickshaw Art in Bangladesh
Tuesday, November 12th, 20243:35 PM - 4:45 PM Hartford Times Building (Hartford)The paper explores the emergence of rickshaw art and artisan practices by the Rohingya people in the refugee camp of Bangladesh. It also investigates how the encounter between Bangladeshi and Rohingya identities allows these refugees to seek resilience in the state of displacement through the reorientation of their Rohingya knowledge and skills. The mass exodus of the Rohingya people has resulted in an unprecedented reformulation of cultural identities. From the Rakhine state of Myanmar to Bangladesh, the displacement has often attracted a narrative of loss, never a story of creation. Despite the countless international efforts to preserve the cultural memory of the Rohingya community, the mushrooming of a diverse set of unrestricted and unregulated economic, mechanical, and cultural ventures through jugaad in the camps underscores their true resilience and willingness to sustain. As a case study, the paper examines the newly formed rickshaw art and artisan practice in the recently built, controversial Rohingya camp located in Bhasan Char, Bangladesh. I argue this practice is born out of the encounter between numerous Rohingya art and artisan practices and Bangladeshi rickshaw art, allowing the Rohingya people to incorporate their knowledge and skills in conjunction with what they have attained from the rickshaw art of Bangladesh. The paper analyzes a series of newly manufactured rickshaws in the camp and the aesthetics of their decorations to demonstrate how the foundation and fabric of these endeavors reflect not only the state of displacement but also the reformulation of belongingness. These rickshaws, with their colorful decorations, function like an archive in motion for this vulnerable community, where their stories will be written and rewritten indefinitely.

Film Screening: Brief Tender Light (2023)
Monday, November 18th, 20245:00 PM - The Dodd Center for Human RightsInternational Education Week 2024 kicks off with a screening of Brief Tender Light, a 2023 documentary by Arthur Musah. English. 93 minutes.
As undergraduate students at America’s premier technological university, a group of ambitious African students come of age, learning lessons in and beyond the classroom. They embarked on their MIT education with individual ambitions – to run a civil engineering company and be a shining example for girls in Tanzania; to secure a better life for family in northern Nigeria; to contribute to postgenocide reconstruction in Rwanda; to enter into politics and the fight for democracy in Zimbabwe. Their missions are distinct, but fueled by a common goal: to become agents of positive change back home.
Even as their dreams are anchored in the societies they have left, their daily realities are defined by America – by the immediate challenges in their MIT classrooms and the larger social issues confronting the world outside of those classrooms. Their new environment demands they adapt. Each is forced to refine their ideas about the world and about themselves, ultimately deciding how much of America to absorb, how much of Africa to hold on to, and how to transform youthful ideals into adult action.

Wednesday, November 20th, 202411:30 AM - 12:30 PM Student UnionThe Office for Diversity and Inclusion would like to invite faculty and staff to pause and be in community with us as they are able.
Many in our community are impacted by events happening on a global scale including atrocities in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, as well as natural disasters. Often those impacted find themselves working so hard to support their loved ones and communities they forget to pause to support themselves, to take a moment to reflect, mourn, or set aside time to be in community with each other.
Join us for a biweekly Coffee Break in the Student Union RM 103 at the Storrs campus where you can find some time away from the office to enjoy your coffee alone or in conversation with your colleagues.A virtual option is available here: https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=m4c0b5c177a1e825f40652ddda2e8e887
