This workshop is part of ISA's Teaching Difficult or Controversial Topics in the International Affairs Classroom Series. Teaching international affairs involves navigating sensitive and complex political landscapes. This workshop focuses on using LEGO as an innovative pedagogical tool to address topics like civil war and peacebuilding. It will present key principles and methodology behind using LEGO, and its applicability to teaching civil war and peacebuilding through hands-on engagement, critical discussion, case studies, and reflections from Professor Fontana's own experiences of using LEGO in the classroom. Participants will need to have a suggested 500 pieces of their own LEGO bricks (simple bricks, no figures or special shapes) to use during the workshop. INSTRUCTOR: Giuditta Fontana.

CCAM Seminar Series Speaker: Dr. John Hickey, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, Duke University Title:  "Transforming pixels to pathways: spatial-omics across biological scales" Abstract:  Advancements in single-cell multiplexed imaging such as spatial-omics coupled with sophisticated computational algorithms have greatly augmented our views into complex tissue microenvironments at the single cell level. In this seminar, I will present the approaches we have developed to deconstruct intricate tissue datasets and connect them across scales from molecular to multicell modules. Particularly, I will share three vignettes of cell organizational rules we found within 1] the healthy human intestine, 2] progression from metaplasia to cancer in Barrett's esophagus, and 3] melanomas treated with effective and ineffective T cell therapies.

Settler colonialism, slavery, migration, and imperial war have been integral to the emergence of the U.S. nation, state, and economy, and the consequences of these histories continue today. In this lecture Lowe examines colonial formations, their durability and the persistence of anti-colonial struggles against them. She asks: In what ways does a reckoning with colonial histories unsettle and transform the way we understand modernity, capitalism, and the political present? Lisa Lowe is Samuel Knight Professor of American Studies at Yale University. She is an interdisciplinary scholar whose work is concerned with the analysis of race, immigration, capitalism, and colonialism, and the author of Critical Terrains: French and British Orientalisms (Cornell University Press, 1991), Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics (Duke University Press, 1996), and The Intimacies of Four Continents (Duke University Press, 2015).
