Arts/Entertainment

Recent and new collaborative works in drawing, printmaking, photography, and video by Angela Bartram and Lee Deigaard The animal and being animal is a proposition and position that invites observational and critical debate. To observe the non-human animal is too often tense and politicized; to take on an understated what-it-is-to-be-animal is a sensitized and sensitive means to understand differing perspectives. Artists Lee Deigaard (USA) and Angela Bartram (UK) critically approach the animal as the animal. Using diverse methods and materials and curious to potentialities, they explore working as humans from an animal-centric perspective. They bring sensitivities to their handling of the animal as both artistic subject and collaborator, of behaving as animal, in order to observe and engage with empathy and openness to the unexpected, to animal insight and revelation. Iterative long term projects in drawing and printmaking foreground proximity and proprioceptive, nearly devotional studio and caretaking practices centering on respiration and companionate movement within a global pandemic. This exhibition explores the socialized and familiar in close observation, directly and indirectly, in their individual yet companion practices and additionally features the artists in conversation and active collaboration on site in the gallery.

Patrick will be joined by authors of two recent and important books on these subjects. Blaire Ostler is a philosopher who works at the intersection of queer, Mormon, and transhumanist thought. She is the author of Queer Mormon Theology: An Introduction (By Common Consent Press, 2021). Taylor Petrey is an associate professor of religion and chair of the Religion Department at Kalamazoo College. The editor of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Petrey’s most recent book is Tabernacles of Clay: Sexuality and Gender in Modern Mormonism (University of North Carolina Press, 2020).

Best Practices in Anti-Racist Scholarly Review

Workshop/Training

Most articles in academic journals go through a process of scholarly review, where peers in the field give feedback on the article and recommend it to be accepted, revised, or rejected by the publisher. While this review process is considered a pillar of academic scholarship, it is also a potential gatekeeping mechanism that can re-inscribe racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of oppression. In this workshop, participants will engage in the most recent scholarship on best practices in peer review, which emphasizes the need for reviewers to explicitly reject oppressive publication practices and advocate for historically marginalized authors and audiences. Participants can expect to learn about approaches to anti-racist reviewing, practice implementing those approaches, and create a community of inquiry with other graduate students. This workshop is recommended for graduate students who want a better understanding of the peer review process and what the role of a reviewer entails. Previous experience reviewing is not required.

LAEP Speaker Series: Brent Chamberlain

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Time and again, I am struck by the significance of knowledge, how it was obtained, why it is inspired and how much more there is to know. In this presentation, I offer a glimpse into how statistical and inferential models can be used to help designers create more functional and aesthetic designs. To do this, we will journey through distinct research endeavors that can guide us toward creating places to improve memory, engage the affective senses, relay complex information and most importantly think about how we design and plan our future. Be ready to be immersed in visuals from the 2D mundane to the symphonic of bizarre VR. Whether you are aware of how (the lack of) inference does or does not influence your creative process, I hope this will inspire an approach toward generating and using knowledge in design.
