This talk explores how racism influences the formation of community organizations in racialized groups. Drawing on DuBois's concepts of double consciousness and racialization, it presents a model to explain how 19th and early 20th century Chinese communities in the U.S. built complex, politically active organizational networks. The case highlights key stages in the development of organizational life under systemic racism. This is an Honors Event. See tags below for categories. #UHLevent11169

Harmony of Nature II: Waves is an international and experimental collaboration that connects audiences with nature by transforming environmental data into classical music. The exhibition is a multimedia experience of musical compositions, video, and documentary objects. Musical compositions of wavelike gestures were derived from tide gauge observations of sea level rise along the coast of the Long Island Sound, buoy measurements of the propagation of a tsunami across the Pacific Ocean, and mathematical expressions. The specific datasets chosen are direct observations, rather than model projections, and the music expresses the nuances of the flow of nature. Harmony of Nature II: Waves emphasizes the portrayal of physical phenomenon as a generative force, to create music that is both artistically and scientifically communicative.   The works were created by the project's trio of members, acclaimed South Korean pianist Sophy Chung, oceanographer Molly M. James, and composer, computer scientist Max Lu.Harmony of Nature II: Waves received support from Connecticut Sea Grant Arts Support Awards Program.

Our intention is to engage in practices that support mental wellbeing and help build community and connection. Gentle Therapeutic Yoga classes will be held right after this class.
