Where government is located is a big part of how government operates, and Professor Fontana will talk about the many reasons that is the case.

Lunch and discussion with Prof. Holly Dugan
Friday, December 6th 2013 @ 12pm
714 21st Street, UHP Club Room at the Foggy Bottom campus
My title comes from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, which cryptically references a “famous ape” about which we know very little. My research focuses on this absence in the historical record about animal performers, particularly simian “actors” in the sixteenth century that were trained to mimic and perform human behavior. Here, I’ll present some of my archival research on these animals in order to open up broader questions about performance and animal/human boundaries, especially in relationship to more contemporary versions of Hamlet’s “famous ape,” (such as Crystal the capuchin, star of the Hangover: Part II and Night at the Museum).
We’ll provide lunch, you bring your questions! Seats are limited to 20 so sign up now.

My current research aims to bring the seemingly missing “religion” into the study of women, gender, and the Communist revolution in China. It explores the gendered representations of both traditional Chinese religions and the Communist Party’s rise of power in the Chinese revolutionary propaganda.
We’ll provide lunch, you bring your questions!
Can you make jump from Californian sea urchin genetics to east coast science teaching and learning practices in the US educational system? Find out how Prof. Hammond did just that (and we’ll provide lunch!)
Professor Hammond talks about how she made the leap from investigating larval sea urchin gene expression in response to the environment in California, to investigating science learning and teaching practices in middle, high school, and undergraduate science classes on the east coast. Are there links between the two seemingly different arenas?
We’ll provide lunch, you bring your questions! Seats are limited to 15.
