- 3:30 PM1h 30mMapping Militancy: Geospatial Analysis of Post-Dictatorship Memorialization Projects in ArgentinaAbout this EventCredit: Jennifer Schaefer Between 1966 and 1983, Argentina's military dictatorships used violence to control the population, including clandestine detention and forced disappearance. After the return to democracy, human rights groups established memorial projects and databases documenting both the disappearances and the lives of victims, including left-wing militants. Using ArcGIS, this presentation traces the movements of these militants across cities, provinces, and countries. It asks two central questions: what does geospatial analysis reveal about Cold War militancy, and what are the political and ethical stakes of analyzing memorialization projects in this way? About the SpeakerJennifer L. Schaefer is the Research Services Librarian for Latina/o, Caribbean, & Latin American Studies and Spanish Studies at the UConn Library. Before joining the UConn Library, Jennifer was a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Carleton College, a Roots of Contemporary Issues Teaching Postdoctoral Fellow at Washington State University Vancouver, and a Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan. Jennifer is deeply committed to supporting undergraduate and graduate research and writing, especially drawing on her previous experiences working as the Education and Outreach Fellow in both the Emory Writing Center and the Woodruff Library and then as Interim Director of the Emory Writing Center.

- 4:00 PM1hInsurance Law Workshop: Understanding Insurance Law (7th ed. 2025) and the Arc of Insurance Law's EvolutionRobert H. Jerry, Floyd R. Gibson Missouri Endowed Professor Emeritus of Law, University of Missouri School of Law Douglas Richmond, Senior Vice President at Lockton Companies, LLC Forty years ago, Robert Jerry, a young law professor at the University of Kansas, began writing what Matthew Bender, Inc. would publish in 1987 as the first edition of Understanding Insurance Law. One of his students at the time was Doug Richmond, who would later specialize in insurance law, manage the insurance coverage and extracontractual liability practice of a large regional law firm, become Managing Director at Aon, and today Senior Vice President with the Lockton companies in Kansas City. In 2007, Richmond became Jerry's co-author for the 4th edition of UIL, and the two of them have now collaborated on the last four editions, the most recent of which was published in the spring of 2025. Thus, for four decades, UIL has been a key resource for lawyers, judges, insurance students, and scholars seeking an understanding of various aspects of insurance law. Currently, the 800+ citations to the treatise in secondary literature include citations in approximately 575 law review articles, and it is cited in nearly 80 reported judicial opinions. In this program, Jerry and Richmond will discuss how Understanding Insurance Law came to be, with particular emphasis on how the field of insurance law has evolved in the last 40 years and how UIL has adapted to our changing field.
