2023 Scheidel Lecture: How We Create Time Through Communication

Tuesday, Apr. 25, 2023

6 p.m.

Kane Hall, Room 225

In this talk, Dr. Ballard will illuminate how we create time through communication design, a process of intervening in human activity to enable certain forms of communication and avoid others. Using the case of the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Texas, an interagency model that leverages multidisciplinary teams to prevent, treat, and prosecute child abuse, Dawna identifies two underlying communication design logics—fast and slow—which reflect contrasting beliefs about how communication works to support urgent, time-sensitive work demands.

Miss Chief in the Museum

Wednesday, Apr. 19, 2023

History is subjective. The dominant version of history upheld in museums on this continent is told from the perspective of the colonial settler cultures who projected their values and ideals onto the Indigenous people and landscape of North America. Cree artist Kent Monkman discusses his interventions in museums that have taken form as commissioned paintings, curated exhibitions, videos, and site specific performances. Monkman will also discuss his 2019 commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York – a diptych of two monumental history paintings for the Great Hall and the creation of a new performance piece.
