Compassionate Flexibility: An Open Conversation About Syllabi Design
2023-02-20 17:00 - 18:00 | Mary Lyon Hall – May Room, Norton, MA, 02766
Mental and physical health, for both students and faculty, are connected to the workload and intellectual labors we carry as a learning community. Syllabi are ideally designed to provide faculty and students with a roadmap and a clear set of guidelines to foster a productive, transparent working relationship. As we begin a new semester, student leaders and WIIH Fellows invite you to an open conversation reflecting on what is fair and equitable when it comes to expectations surrounding coursework. Are there ways we can think past the “either-or” fallacy of compassionate flexibility vs. intellectual rigor? Or of respect for difference vs. respect for the time and labor of others? Can we find more space in our demanding lives to calmly articulate the individual priorities and values that inform all faculty-student conversations throughout the semester?
All are welcome.
Presented by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program.

Cyborg Arms and Robot Caregivers: Design For an Interdependent Future
2023-03-02 17:30 - 18:30 | Watson Fine Arts – Ellison Lecture Hall, Norton, MA, 02766
Join us as we kick off the WIIIH’s Designing for Difference series, by welcoming our keynote speaker Sara Hendren. Sara is a humanist in tech—an artist, design researcher, writer, and professor at Olin College of Engineering.
Most people think about prosthetics in a posthuman future: novel tools and materials to augment the body and overcome its limitations. Or we think of inclusive or barrier-free design, efforts to make the built world accessible to people whose bodies fall outside the range of normal. But what if there’s a deeper invitation hidden in the built environment, clues that lie in all its shapes and sizes? Sara Hendren walks us through products, furniture, buildings, and city streets to locate the desirable forms of assistance that beckon all of us.
Sara’s book, What Can A Body Do? How We Meet the Built World explores the places where disability shows up in design at all scales: assistive technology, furniture, architecture, urban planning, and more. It was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by NPR and won the 2021 Science in Society Journalism book prize. Her art and design works have been exhibited in museums worldwide and are held in the permanent collections at MoMA and the Cooper Hewitt. In 2021-22, she was Lecturer in Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a fellow in Education Policy at the New America think tank, where she was researching the future of work for adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities.

Designing for Difference brings innovative design leaders, thinkers and humanists to campus, to celebrate the inauguration of Wheaton’s new Design program. Anchored in the History and Theory of Design course, this spring the WIIH asks students, staff, and faculty to challenge the concept of “normal” and reconsider what makes design inclusive. All events are open to the public.

Prospects for South Korea-Japan Cooperation for the International Order
2023-03-20 17:00 - 19:00 | Mary Lyon Hall – Woolley Room, Norton, MA, 02766, United States
Prospects for South Korea-Japan Cooperation for the International Order
Leif-Eric Easley, Associate Professor of International Studies, Ewha Womans University (Seoul, South Korea)

Monday, March 20, 5:00 PM
Woolley Room, Mary Lyon Hall

North Korea’s nuclear missile threats and China’s regional assertiveness make coordination between South Korea and Japan more critical than ever. Although relations between South Korea and Japan have often been strained over history, they are better managed than either side is given credit. How are South Korea and Japan working to calibrate their policies toward China while coordinating with one another and the United States to preserve the rules-based international order?
This event is made possible by the Department of Political Science and the Diana Davis Spencer Chair of Social Entrepreneurship.

Leif-Eric Easley is Associate Professor of International Studies at Ewha Womans University (Seoul, South Korea). His research interests include contested national identities and changing levels of trust in the bilateral security relationships of Northeast Asia. He is actively involved in U.S.-Asia Track II diplomacy, including with the Asan Institute for Policy Studies. His research has appeared in a variety of academic and policy journals, supplemented by frequent analysis in major newspapers.
