Over the decades, the series has hosted nationally renowned speakers, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, theater and comedy troupes and more on Coe's campus. The series was created by a gift from the estate of Sarah Marquis in honor of her father, Dr. John A. Marquis, who was president of Coe College from 1909-1920.

Dr. Temple Grandin, ''The World Needs All Kinds of Minds'' Sinclair Auditorium
I 7:00 PM
Dr. Temple Grandin is a prominent animal behavior scientist and autism advocate. Well-known as a professor and scholar of animal behavior who made important contributions to the livestock industry, Grandin also has spoken widely about her experiences with autism and her ability to "think in pictures." She notes that while some people are good at art, others at math and still others at writing, she is an extreme visual thinker for whom words narrate the pictures in her imagination. In this presentation, Grandin will discuss varied types of thinking and why the world needs diverse thinkers. She makes the case that the world needs the thinking of those on the autism spectrum, including visual, pattern and verbal thinkers. Different kinds of minds have skills that complement each other, and the world needs all kinds of minds engaged in solving its complex problems. PHOTO CREDIT: ROSALIE WINARD

Mad River Theater Works presents ''Freedom Riders'' Sinclair Auditorium 7:00 PM
I
"Freedom Riders" is the latest addition to the series of American history plays created by Mad River Theater Works. Through original songs and music, the play explores the valiant and courageous personalities behind one of the most critical events in the Civil Rights Movement. Set in 1961, 15 years after the United States Supreme Court had outlawed segregation, bus lines and cities throughout the South still enforced a rigid system of separating Black and white citizens. The Freedom Riders, a group of Black and white Americans from both the North and the South, decided to travel together on buses that crossed state lines, despite the hateful segregation and racism that had a strong hold in so many parts of the United States. "Freedom Riders" depicts the unforgettable heroes behind this event and demonstrates the importance of working together to affect change. PHOTO CREDIT: ALLIANCE ARTIST MANAGE.MENT

Film Music, Concert Music and the Hollywood Connection Alan Lawrence, Instructor and Teaching Artist in Music Kesler Auditorium I 9:15 AM Over the course of this four-week forum, Instructor and Teaching Artist in Music Alan Lawrence will explore significant milestones in the film music of the past century. Through film clips and audio recordings, audience members will learn about important film composers and the connections between • concert and film music. The first week's session will move from the silent film era through the blockbusters of the 1930s and '40s, exploring the influence of Richard Wagner on early film composers such as Max Steiner (who scored "King Kong," "Gone with the Wind" and "Casablanca") and Erich Wolfgang Korngold ("The Adventures of Robin Hood"). Week two will take up the work of other expatriate European composers, including Franz Waxman ("Sunset Boulevard" and "Rear Window") and Miklos Rozsa ("Spellbound" and "Ben Hur"), as well as American-born composers Alfred Newman ("The Hunchback of Notre Dame"), David Raksin ("Laura") and Hugo Friedhofer ("The Best Years of Our Lives"). The third session will highlight the volatile talent of Bernard Herrmann ("Citizen Kane," "Vertigo," "North by Northwest" and "Psycho") as well as Leonard Bernstein ("On the Waterfront") and Elmer Bernstein ("To Kill a Mockingbird"). The final session will emphasize the influence of concert composers like Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst on film music composition, including the work of the versatile John Williams ("Jaws," "Star Wars," "E.T." and more).

Jane Austen, Then and Now Melissa Sodeman, Associate Professor of English Kesler Auditorium I 9:15 AM ,,
This forum will explore the literary and cultural importance of Jane Austen, one of Britain's most celebrated novelists. Through exploration of Austen's ~ life and literary works, the context in which she lived and the pop culture her work has inspired, this four-week series will assess the scope of Austen's achievement and why her works continue to captivate the world. The four-week series will begin with an introduction to Austen's life and works, especially "Pride and Prejudice," which epitomizes what we tend to think of when we think about Austen - the courtship novel with a fairy-tale happy ending. In week two, we will turn to Austen's first published novel, "Sense and Sensibility," and the ways it engaged with debates about women's rights while appearing to conform with notions of proper femininity. During week three, the series will explore Austen's characterizations and critiques of English domestic life in novels like "Northanger Abbey" and "Mansfield Park." The series will conclude by examining Austen's last complete novel, "Persuasion," and the novel fragment, "Sanditon," left at her death. Throughout the series, we will view clips of present-day film and television adaptations of these works, explore the fan culture and tourism that have long surrounded Austen and consider why Austen's novels, unlike those of so many of her contemporaries, continue to inspire us today.

The Science and Politics of Pandemics Maria Dean, Ben Peterson Professor of Chemistry Lynda Barrow, Professor of Political Science Kesler Auditorium I 9:15 AM Amid the present COVID-19 pandemic, it is useful and important to explore how pandemics provide an opportunity to address a variety of compelling scientific and political questions. This special two-week forum, led jointly by Ben Peterson Professor of Chemistry Maria Dean and Professor of Political Science Lynda Barrow, will examine pandemics past and present from the vantage points of a biochemist and a political scientist. From the 14th century plague in Europe to the Ebola outbreaks of the early 21st century to the current COVID-19 moment, epidemics and pandemics offer a unique opportunity to consider a wide variety of significant scientific and political issues that leaders, countries and the international community face during moments of crisis. In the first week's session, the presenters will define what constitutes a pandemic, which organisms and conditions make pandemics possible and why pandemics are a political as well as a scientific issue. The second session will discuss specific pandemics, examining in each case the science of the spread and containment as well as the political and public health responses.

11 & 18 The Past, Present and Future of Biodiversity Daniel Hughes, Assistant Professor of Biology Kesler Auditorium I 9:15 AM
From molecules to biomes, biodiversity represents the cumulative biological diversity that has evolved during Earth's 4.6-billion-year history. It has been estimated 100 million species call Earth home, but less than 2 million have been named so far. Biodiversity provides the raw material for sustaining life through various ecosystem services, including providing clean water, regulating climate and cycling nutrients. Biodiversity is vital to sustaining ecosystems and human well-being through crop pollination, medicine and recreation. Yet it is declining at a rate faster than any time in history, prompting scientists to work more rapidly to address the consequences of such changes. In this two-week forum, Assistant Professor of Biology Daniel Hughes will offer an overview of biodiversity research, from the origins of conservation biology to the contemporary climate and extinction crises. In the first session, we will define biodiversity, discuss what we know about past changes in biodiversity and examine the current state of global biodiversity. The second presentation will explore case studies from around the globe about how biodiversity changes and the conservation efforts that are rescuing species from the brink. Integrating his own research on biodiversity in Central Africa and eastern Iowa, Dr. Hughes will provide a variety of examples and perspectives about the range of threats to biodiversity and the actions that can be taken to conserve species for future generations.

I 9:15 AM
The United Nations declared 2022 the International Year of Glass to celebrate "the essential role glass has and will continue to have in society," including its tremendous technological, scientific, economic, historical and artistic importance. This four-week forum will showcase the myriad cultural and practical forms of glass and the glass research of the Coe Physics Department. In week one, Assistant Professor of Physics Caio Bragatto will explain what defines a glass, why it is a special material suited to particular applications, how it is variously prepared for artistic, scientific or industrial purposes and how glass plays an important role in countless aspects of our daily lives. During the second session, Assistant Professor of Physics Firdevs Duru and Associate Professor of Physics Ugur Akgun will offer an overview of the history of glass, which dates back to 3400 BC. Week three will focus on the use of glass in art, with Fran Allison and Francis Halpin Professor of Physics Mario Affatigato exploring how glass was originally a medium for artistic expression as well as a functional material. This presentation will highlight examples of glass art from across time and place and discuss how light interacts with glass to create the wonder that inspires great art. In the final session, B.D. Silliman Professor
of Physics Steve Feller will provide a live glassmaking demonstration and discuss modern glass research, including work at Coe that has innovated new aspects and applications of glass research.

Teaching and Learning Inside: The Transformative Potential of College-in-Prison Programs Gina Hausknecht, John William King Professor of Literature & Creative Writing Kesler Auditorium I 9:15 AM What are prisons for? What should happen to people when they are incarcerated? Since most incarcerated individuals in the U.S. eventually are released, vocational training, GED and higher-education programs were long seen as a way to help them work toward lives that would keep them out of jail. However, tough-on-crime policies have resulted in more punitive sentences and the dismantling of many rehabilitative programs. This four-week forum will explore national and local programs that promote education and the arts in prisons. The first session will introduce college in-prison programs, including the pioneering Bard Prison Initiative, and the debate about prison education. In week two, we will take a closer look at the Liberal Arts Beyond Bars college-in-prison program at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center (IMCC) in Coralville and hear from incarcerated students and those who work with them. Week three's session will focus on Shakespeare prison programs; we will view excerpts from the documentary "Shakespeare Behind Bars" and learn about the presenter's experiences teaching a linked Coe and IMCC Shakespeare course. The final session will examine other kinds of prison arts programs. We will view and discuss artwork by incarcerated individuals and consider the potential and pitfalls of arts, college and other rehabilitative programs in prisons. As we consider the challenges and opportunities of teaching and learning in prison, this forum will work to come to a better understanding of what college-in-prison programs offer incarcerated individuals and the society of which they are a part. * THERE IS NO FORUM MARCH 17.

28 BREXIT: Why, How and What Now Kimberly Lanegran, Joan and Abbott Lipsky Professor of Political Science Kesler Auditorium I 9:15 AM
In 2016, the British public voted in a referendum to withdraw the United Kingdom (U.K.) from the European Union (EU). This shocking development launched the beginning of the end of the U.K.'s contentious membership in that powerful body and touched off life-altering consequences for the British people. While the "Leave the EU" directive was clear, the path toward BREXIT was not. The fallout has destroyed political careers, strained international relations and triggered constitutional crises, snap-elections, last-minute deals and acrimonious public and Parliamentary debates. This series will explore what BREXIT is and why it matters to the world. We will begin by discussing how the EU works; the economic, social and political arguments for EU membership; and the U.K.'s shifting relationship with the EU. In week two, we will turn to the 2016 referendum, exploring its prelude under Prime Minister David Cameron as well as who voted for BREXIT and why. We then shift attention to Prime Minister Teresa May's efforts to negotiate a BREXIT agreement with the EU and to get it passed by the British Parliament. The final session will discuss the BREXIT agreement negotiated by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the future of the relationship between the U.K. and EU. Throughout the series, we will examine the challenges of political negotiation, why BREXIT has inspired such passion and rancor within the U.K. and abroad and the impact of these stunning political developments on ordinary people across the U.K., Europe and beyond.

The Revolutionists Dows Theatre "A Comedy. A Quartet. A Revolutionary
Dream Fugue. A True Story."
Written by Lauren Gunderson, one of the most produced playwrights in America in the past five years, "The Revolutionists" follows four women fighting for freedom and feminism in France during the Reign of Terror. The playwright Olympe de Gouge, Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle, assassin Charlotte Corday and infamous former queen Marie-Antoinette take the audience on a wild ride, grappling with everything from art to activism. With a script written in the modern vernacular, themes of extremism and insanity resonate through the ages and leave the audience inspired, entertained ...and maybe even a little terrified! Liberte, egalite, sororite!
