“Transcribathon” describes the full range of the Early Modern Studies Working Group’s efforts to teach and develop the skills of paleography. UConn’s Transcribathon convenes bi-weekly and aims to make the experience fun and rewarding by providing participants an opportunity both to collaborate on a community project, and to receive useful research training for projects that require paleography.

The Early Modern Reading Group brings together graduate students and faculty for lively, enriching conversations about texts with cross-disciplinary value. Participants benefit from encountering field-specific approaches and methodologies different from those they know, and from having to articulate their own field’s methodologies to others. In addition to discussing the content and arguments of each given monograph, we attempt to break down how individual texts are constructed so as to keep a running dialogue about conceptualizing, composing, and eventually publishing relevant and persuasive research in the field.

LANDFALL
Documentary Screening and Q&A with Director Cecilia Aldarondo and Collaborator/Associate Producer Lale Namerrow Pastor.

Through shard-like glimpses of everyday life in post-Hurricane María Puerto Rico, LANDFALL is a cautionary tale for our times. Set against the backdrop of protests that
toppled the US colony’s governor in 2019, the film offers a prismatic portrait of collective trauma and resistance. While the devastation of María attracted a great deal
of media coverage, the world has paid far less attention to the storm that preceded it: a 72-billion-dollar debt crisis crippling Puerto Rico well before the winds and waters hit. LANDFALL examines the kinship of these two storms—one environmental, the other economic—juxtaposing competing utopian visions of recovery. Featuring intimate
encounters with Puerto Ricans as well as the newcomers flooding the island, LANDFALL reflects on a question of contemporary global relevance: when the world
falls apart, who do we become?

Exhibition opening at the Hartford Public Library.

Join us to celebrate how pandemic picture-making can spark new ways of claiming our voices, learning from others, and creating meaningful change in the world.

This innovative exhibition—a partnership between the Pandemic Journaling Project (PJP) and Seeing Truth: Art, Science, Museums, and Making Knowledge—will feature images created by people around the globe in telling their pandemic stories. At once devastating, joyful, funny, and tragic, the exhibition asks: What does a pandemic look like? What has COVID-19 helped us, or made us, see? How has it changed our sense of what counts as true—or whose truth counts?
