There is limited space, RSVP today!   2nd Event: "Humility in Practices of Transitional Justice: the case of Campo Algodonero, Mexico," by Dr. Robin Adèle Greeley    In 2009, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ordered the Mexican state to carry out a comprehensive program of reparations in the landmark case of Campo Algodonero. The Court found the Mexican state had failed to prevent the murders in 2001 of three young women in Ciudad Juárez. Part of a wave of femicides that continue to afflict women in Mexico, the Campo Algodonero murders sparked a pivotal turn in the Court's rulings in cases of gender violence. As part of the reparations, the Court ordered the Mexican state to apologize and to build a memorial. Yet since its inauguration in 2011, the Campo Algodonero memorial has been a site not of public commemoration, but of vociferous contestation by the principal audience for which it was intended: the families of the murdered women. This talk explores why the seemingly humble State apology, delivered at the memorial site, was vehemently rejected by the victims' families, and what this can tell us about the role of humility in practices of transitional justice.

Dr. Michael Blower Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Chobanian and Avedesian School of Medicine.  Boston University Host: Stacey HanlonInvestigating chromatin:RNA interactions during the cell cycle Control of gene expression is critical for normal cell growth and organismal development. Recent work has found that RNA is an important component of chromatin and is a critical regulator of gene expression. However, little is known about how RNA interacts with chromatin and how RNA:chromatin interactions are regulated during the cell cycle. I will speak about our recent work investigating the molecular mechanisms controlling chromatin: RNA interactions during the cell cycle and show that these interactions are critical for cell proliferation.Bio: Mike Blower received a Bachelors in Microbiology from Miami University (Ohio) and completed his PhD. thesis in thelab of Dr. Gary Karpen at the University of California San Diego, where he studied centromere formation in Drosophila.He then completed postdoctoral training in the labs of Dr. Rebecca Heald and Karsten Weis at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley studying mitotic spindle formation in Xenopus. In 2006 he started an independent lab atMassachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
