theme 2013: Animal: What Makes Us Human
Tickets go on sale September 3 to CHF members, and September 16 to the general public. The full schedule and ticket details can be found at www.chicagohumanities.org. IPRH is honored to partner with the Chicago Humanities Festival to co-sponsor the following presentation by Illinois professor Deke Weaver.
Deke WeAVeR and HoLLy HUgHeS
the Unreliable bestiary and the Dog and pony Show Monday, november 4
7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Lookingglass Theatre Company (821 N. Michigan Ave, Chicago).
The Chicago Humanities Festival presents two consequential artists of our time in a special double-bill evening. The program features Holly Hughes in the first half and Deke Weaver after an intermission, and concludes with a moderated question-and-answer session.
THE unrELIABLE BESTIAry
A series of performances, website, and set of books, The Unreliable Bestiary is an ark of stories about animals, our relationships with them, and the precarious worlds they inhabit. Deke Weaver’s audacious, ambitious goal for the project is to present a full-length performance for each letter of the alphabet, representing a particular endangered animal with an overlay of economy, environment, and history as context. To date, Weaver has created three startling pieces—Monkey, Elephant, and Wolf—and in a performance specially crafted for CHF, a combination of monologue and cinematic video, he presents selections from all three of them.
Deke Weaver is an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with appointments in the Department of Theatre and the School of Art + Design’s New Media Program. Professor Weaver is a writer-performer, designer, and media artist. His interdisciplinary performances and videos have been presented in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Russia, and the United States in experimental theater, film/ video, dance, solo performance, and broadcast venues such as PBS, Channel 4/U.K., the Sundance Film Festival, the New York Video Festival at Lincoln Center, The Berlin Video Festival, MoMA/NY, the Museum of Contemporary Art/LA, Dixon Place, HERE, PS 122, The Moth, Judson Memorial Church, the Chicago Cultural Center, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and many others including livestock pavilions, national parks, night clubs, bars, backyard sheds and living rooms.
A resident artist at Yaddo, Isle Royale National Park, and HERE, a two-time resident at Ucross, a four-time fellow at the MacDowell Colony, and a three-time recipient of NEA regional film/video grants, Professor Weaver has been awarded commissions, fellowships, and grants from the city of San Francisco, the states of Illinois and New York, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and other public and private foundations.
THE DoG AnD Pony SHoW
The Village Voice once said that Holly Hughes is "hell on heels"—one of the cleverer summaries of her signature blend of theater and provocation. A "professional lesbian" who drove Jesse Helms apoplectic as one of the NEA Four, her work includes Let Them Eat Cake and Preaching to the Perverted, among others. In addition to writing, performing, and touring her work, she is also a professor at the University of Michigan, where she leads the university’s BFA program in interarts performance. Hughes’s newest solo performance work, The Dog and Pony Show (Bring Your Own Pony), offers a poetic and comic meditation on midlife crises in the key of canine.

IPRH is pleased to introduce Kelly Delahanty as the newest member of the IPRH staff. Kelly is the new Communications Coordinator for both IPRH and I-CHASS, the Institute for Computing in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Prior to joining IPRH, Kelly worked in the National Center for Supercomputing Applications public affairs office, the Illini Union marketing department, and the digital marketing department of Wilton, Inc. She recently graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a BFA in New Media and a minor in Informatics. Kelly’s strengths lie in storytelling and making complex ideas more accessible and understandable. When not working, Kelly is busy creating art and stories in a variety of media, ranging from traditional comics to more experimental formats.
We are delighted to have Kelly and her talents on board, and hope you will take the opportunity to meet her the next time you are in the IPRH building, or at one of our upcoming events.
"i’ve participated in numerous ipRH events over the years—as a presenter, performer, responder, moderator, panelist, ongoing colloquium member, vested audience member, and outright novice student—and i’ve learned countless lessons ranging far beyond my own field. the topics covered by these events have spanned a map as large as human endeavor. A great deal of what i’ve learned from these interactions has made its way into my books."

resentment’s Conflicts Symposium
In October, IPRH was pleased to organize the Resentment’s conflicts symposium in partnership with the Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese and in collaboration with co-organizer L. Elena Delgado. Presenters from the diverse realms of philosophy, religion, ethnic studies, and languages and literatures gathered to explore the symposium’s theme of resentment and its conflicts. IPRH wishes to thank Silvina Montrul, head of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, and L. Elena Delgado for their partnership in this endeavor, as well as the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the School of Literatures, Languages, and Linguistics, and the Department of Philosophy for their support of the event.

Inside Scoop Series
IPRH launched its inside Scoop series for undergraduates this past academic year. Designed to give undergraduates the opportunity to experience the excitement of humanities research through up close and personal contact with professors in an informal setting, the Inside Scoop events featured Jane Desmond (Anthropology), Jonathan Ebel (Religion), and Tara McGovern (Anthropology B.A. 2013) in conversation with students who met in the Honors Commons Lounge in October 2012. A guided insider’s tour of the Latin American Gallery at the Spurlock museum, led by curator Norman Desmond (Anthropology, Emeritus) took place in April 2013. IPRH extends its appreciation to LAS Campus Honors Program, to Penny Soskin, Assistant Dean of LAS, and Wayne Pitard, Director of the Spurlock Museum, for providing the venues and helping to publicize the events.

k AR o L ine cook
In 2012–13, Cook continued the productive momentum of her first-year as a second-year IPRH-Mellon PostDoctoral Fellow. Cook finished revisions of her book manuscript,"Forbidden Crossings: Muslims and Moriscos in Colonial Spanish America," in summer 2012 and submitted it to the University of Pennsylvania Press, with which she had an advance contract. Readers’ reports came back in November, and Cook has been hard at work on revisions since.
In fall 2012, Cook taught the Latin America to Independence History survey course for the second time, and in spring 2013 she designed and taught a course on the History of Mexico from 1519, both for the History Department. Throughout Cook’s time at the University of Illinois, several faculty members in the History Department have acted as mentors, displaying a rare generosity in meeting with her to talk about teaching, research, and introducing her work to colleagues in other departments. As a result, Cook had the opportunity to continue to present her work on campus this past academic year. She continued to attend meetings of the Premodern World Group organized by Craig Koslofsky, and in the spring, Cook presented a paper at the Medieval Studies Colloquium. Her presentations have also extended to venues off campus: In April 2013, Cook presented a paper at Northwestern University, at a symposium on The Early Modern Atlantic World: Slavery, Race, Governance.
This fall 2013, Cook will be joining the History Department at Washington State University, as a visiting instructor in a new program with an innovative approach to teaching World History: The Roots of Contemporary Issues.

In 2012–13, Hustak taught two courses in the Department of History, and conducted substantial new archival research for her second book project, entitled, "Planting Rhythms: Plant Eugenics, Organic Farming, and Experimental Gardens, 1890–1930." Hustak presented the initial draft of an article entitled, "Manly Birthings: Botany and the 'Art of Breeding' in Creating Bio-Utopias, 1900–1930," to the IPRH Fellows seminar. The valuable interdisciplinary feedback she received in seminar has helped her to revise this piece, which will soon be ready to be submitted to an academic journal for publication.
For her "Planting Rhythms" research, Hustak drew on archival resources at the University of Illinois, making extensive use of the Carnation and Snap Dragon Records, the Experiment Records, the Joseph Blair Papers, and the Floriculture Publications, and has currently begun to peruse the Botanists’ Correspondence and the Crop Production collections. The rich archival sources on plant-breeding at the university archives have yielded some surprising research findings that have helped Hustak to trace out new trajectories for her second book.
In addition to participating in the Fellows Seminar and beginning new research, Hustak also revised articles for publication. Two of her articles have been accepted for publication: The first article, "Inventing the Female Self in Greenwich Village, 1900-1930: Mabel Dodge’s Encounter with Science and Spirituality" is a forthcoming publication in the journal Subjectivity. The second article, "Stories Rocks Can Tell: Marie Stopes’s Evolutionary Narratives of Plant Sex in the 'Fern Ledges,'" is a forthcoming publication in Gender, Place and Culture: a feminist geography journal. Hustak also has a book review of Chris Renwick’s British Sociology’s Lost Biological Roots pending publication in the Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences. In addition to these pending publications, Hustak is completing a book manuscript, "Radical Intimacies: Affective Potential and the Politics of Love in the Transatlantic Sex Reform Movement, 1900-1930," which will be submitted for consideration for publication in August 2013.
In 2013–14, Hustak will teach two courses at Illinois, one on U.S. Gender History to 1877 (HIST 285), and one on the Cultural History of Emotions in the U.S. (HIST 200D), and will be co-organizing the IPRH spring symposium on "Ecological Bodies" (May 1–2, 2014).

In 2012–3, Keenan-Jones has had a review accepted for publication, made numerous presentations at conferences and other venues, and taught two classes in the Department of Classics—one fall undergraduate lecture course and a spring graduate Latin seminar. He also gave a guest lecture entitled "Geoarchaeological Analysis of Travertine" for a graduate Anthropology seminar (ANTH 499SA Archaeometry–Scientific Methods in Archaeology).
Keenan-Jones’ review of Brian Campbell’s Rivers and the Power of Ancient Rome was accepted for publication in early 2014 by The Classical Review. A further article, on the use of limestone (or travertine) deposits for the reconstruction of the history and functioning of the aqueducts of ancient Rome, entitled "The Hierarchical Nature of Travertine Deposition in Ancient Roman Aqueducts" is being prepared in collaboration with geologists and civil engineers from the Universities of Illinois and Fribourg, Switzerland. This has arisen from Keenan-Jones’ IPRH research project: "Water, Society and Environment in Ancient Rome and its Hinterland." Keenan-Jones has also been converting his PhD thesis into a monograph. An article from Keenan-Jones’ dissertation, provisionally entitled "The Water Supply of Pompeii, the AD 79 Eruption of Vesuvius and the Aqua Augusta" is also being prepared.
Keenan-Jones was invited to give lectures on "Reconstructing the History of Ancient Rome’s Greatest Aqueduct," as part of the Central Illinois Chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America public lecture series on the 7th March 2013; and on "Roman Reshaping of the Hydrologic Landscape: Prefiguring Modernism?" at Wabash College, on the 20th September 2012. He also presented papers at two conferences: "Ancient Roman Aqueducts as a Geoarchaeological Laboratory to Understand Travertine Formation", at the Cold Water Carbonate Mounds in Shallow and Deep Time (COCARDE) European Research Network Workshop and Field Seminar 2012, Nördlingen, Germany, October, 15–19, 2012; and "Hierarchical Stratigraphy of Travertine Deposition in Ancient Roman Aqueducts," at the Archaeological Institute of America annual meeting in Seattle in January 2013. This research was also presented in a poster, of which Keenan-Jones was lead author, at the School of Earth, Society and the Environment (SESE) research review and the Institute for Genomic Biology Fellows Symposium.
This fall 2013, Keenan-Jones will be continuing his research at the University of Illinois as a postdoctoral research associate in the Fouke lab group, Institute for Genomic Biology/Department of Geology, until May 2014.

In 2012–2013, Satkunaratnam published her first article, "Staging War: Practicing Bharata Natyam in Colombo, Sri Lanka" in Dance Research Journal. She also received an American Institute for Sri Lankan Studies Research Fellowship, which permitted her to visit Sri Lanka to conduct new research. This research was presented in two papers during the academic year: "Dancing as a Demonstration of Peace: The role of Bharata Natyam Dance in "Peace Concerts" in Post-War Sri Lanka" at the Annual Conference on South Asia at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in October 2012, and "Performing Peace: Dance Practice & Reconciliation in Post-War Sri Lanka" at the IPRH Symposium on Performance and Globalization in April 2013.
Satkunaratnam also served on the organizing committee for the IPRH Symposium on Performance and Globalization, the committee for the Congress on Research in Dance (CORD) Conference in November 2012 (where she also presented at a plenary panel), and the Post-Doctoral Advisory Committee at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is also completing her book manuscript, "Moving Bodies, Navigating Conflict: Practicing Bharata Natyam Amidst Sri Lanka’s Civil War." In 2013–2014 Satkunaratnam will teach two courses at Illinois, a Graduate Seminar in Dance and an undergraduate Studio, Lab & Practicum course in Gender and Women’s Studies.

| the oDyssey projeCt |
The Odyssey Project completed its seventh year in spring 2013. Since fall 2006, the Odyssey Project has offered a free, college-accredited course in the humanities to members of the Champaign-Urbana community who fall at or near the poverty level. The yearlong course offers students intensive study in philosophy, art history, literature, U.S. history, and critical thinking and writing. Classes taught by University of Illinois faculty and graduate students takes place every Tuesday from September to May in the seminar room at IPRH. Tuition is free, as are books, transportation, and childcare.
The Odyssey Project is made possible by the generous financial and institutional support of the Office of the Chancellor, the College of Education, and the Illinois Humanities Council. This past year we’ve moved into the College of Education and are creating connections with other community-based educational programs, Education Justice Project (directed by Professor Rebecca Ginsburg) and Saving Our Lives Hear Our Truth (SOLHOT, directed by Professor Ruth Nicole Brown), as well as drawing on the instructional talents of a number of our graduate students there.
We continue to be grateful for the support of IPRH, where the Odyssey Project was initiated at Illinois and was incubated for its first five years. The IPRH continues to provide some funding as well as space and support for our graduate student coordinator and our weekly classes. Through its programs, Odyssey helps keep alive the public service mission of the Morrill Act that founded the University of Illinois.
We are pleased to announce that thirteen students graduated this past May. Students who complete the course receive six

credits of transferable humanities credit from Bard College and have used that credit to complete degrees already in progress or begin their higher education studies. Several students have continued their education beyond Odyssey at the University of Illinois and Parkland College, as well as the University of Denver, Stanford, and Eastern Illinois University.
Instructors for 2012–13 were Odyssey Faculty Director Cris Mayo (Education Policy, Organization and Leadership/Gender and Women’s Studies), philosophy; Graduate student Adrienne Johnson-Pickett (Education Policy, Organization and Leadership), art history; Spencer Schaffner (English/Writing Studies), literature; Graduate student Samuel Byndom (Education Policy, Organization and Leadership), U.S. history; and Odyssey Graduate Student Coordinator Carmen Ocón (Education Policy, Organization and Leadership), critical thinking and writing.

| eDucAtion Justice projeCt |
The Tempest, performed April, 2013 at Danville Prison The Education Justice Project (EJP) offers education programs to men incarcerated at Danville Correctional Center, a state prison about 35 miles east of the Urbana-Champaign campus. In spring 2013, EJP completed its fifth year of serving Danville students.
The mission of the Education Justice Project is to build a model college-in-prison program that demonstrates the positive impacts of higher education upon incarcerated people, their family members, the neighborhoods from which they come, the host institution, and society as a whole. EJP is supported in its work by the Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities, which provides EJP with an office and multiple meeting spaces, administrative assistance and support, and financial assistance.
The core of EJP’s program is upper-division U of I courses, which are taught at the prison by University faculty and advanced graduate students, currently numbering about seventy. EJP also offers a range of extracurricular activities, including a Theatre Initiative; writing, computer, science, and math workshops; guest lecture series; reading groups; and tutoring. With the assistance of faculty and graduate students in the College of Education, EJP continues to engage in a multi-stage evaluation, with the aim of producing data that will support prison higher-education programs efforts nationwide.
One of the highlights of last year was sharing first place in the Arcus Award for Collaborative Social Justice Leadership. EJP’s English as a Second Language program, Language Partners, competed with 188 programs from around the world to receive the distinction, which honored its efforts to give incarcerated men shared voice in the design, implementation, and evaluation of the Language Partners program (see recipients below). The 2012–13 year also saw the installation of a model prison computer lab, funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

BonnIE MAK
The IPRH Fellows Seminar enabled me to forge research connections with a diverse group of colleagues who have affiliations that range from History to English to Urban Planning to Music Education, in LAS, GSLIS, ACES, and FAA. In this way, the IPRH serves as a collaborative research lab that brings together humanities scholars who—in 21st-century academia—are found in tenure-track positions in different departments and in different colleges, as well as in "alt-ac" jobs across campus. The IPRH provides the network through which our distributed community of scholars actively fashions and transforms the humanities, and furthermore helps to broadcast the unique contributions of the University of Illinois to a global society. As the discussions in the Fellows Seminar revealed, humanistic enquiry is valuable and relevant in grappling with enduring problems associated with the production and dissemination of knowledge, whether medieval or modern, and may now be key in illuminating our relationship with data and information.
DIAnA GEorGESCu
The IPRH award was truly one of the most rewarding experiences I had as a graduate student. Not only did I benefit from a generous amount of time that allowed me to make my dissertation writing a priority, but I was also engaged in a wider intellectual community through bimonthly seminars as well as lectures by renowned scholars such as David Harvey and conferences on our shared theme of Revolution. The friendly atmosphere and interdisciplinary makeup of our group helped me develop a dissertation chapter on the politics of generational memory in post-socialist Romania that lies at the juncture of history, anthropology, and literary studies. I am grateful to my colleagues for pointing out comparative contexts and relevant scholarship, for helping me envision various strategies of structuring my chapter or reworking it into an article, and for encouraging me to think more boldly about the implications of my research on memories of late socialism for the global economy of capitalism.
Reading and discussing the work of other IPRH fellows was also tremendously helpful and inspiring. As a junior scholar contemplating the prospect of completing a dissertation and turning it into a book, I found it particularly helpful to work through a diversity of research and writing projects by fellow graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors. I had a lot to learn from the different ways in which my colleagues conducted their research and mapped out their dissertations, articles, or book projects.

The award includes an unrestricted grant of $250,000 over three to five years, $25,000 toward a retirement account, plus the possibility of additional funds for outreach and audience engagement. The ten-year Doris Duke Artist Award program is designed to "recognize the potential of individual artists and insure their future viability."

zine’s Visionaries Award for his role as a "debunker of
African stereotypes." For 15 years, Şaul has taught a course on African film and society, emphasizing their vast intellectual and cultural accomplishments. Last winter, he introduced the first African film series to Instanbul Museum of Modern Art audiences.
Jennifer Monson (Dance and IPRH Fellow 2013–14) was
honored at the Movement Research gala on May 13, 2013.
