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.

Designing Motherhood: Curating Inside and Outside of Institutions
2023-03-29 18:00 - 19:00 | Watson Fine Arts – Weber Theatre, Norton, MA, 02766, United States
Join Michelle Millar Fisher, co-founder of Designing Motherhood, to learn about a unique constellation of contemporary artists and designers whose work helps us ponder the political, economic, and social implications of how we all relate to reproduction. The project juxtaposes photography with product design, portraiture with maternity fashion, and much more, to create a rich consideration of activism and policy change, as well as reclaimed joy, body literacy, and reproductive agency.
The Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births project explores the arc of human reproduction through the lens of art and design. The exhibition, book, and associated programs demonstrate the evolution of rights and societal norms pertaining to con(tra)ception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences over the last 150 years, highlighting that birth—and the material culture that surrounds it—impacts every living person

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.
Presented by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program.

Critical Access Studies
2023-04-18 17:30 - 18:30 | Online
Much of the literature about accessibility seeks to convince architects of the significance of inclusion. However, the field of Critical Access Studies has emerged in the last 10-15 years to raise additional questions of what counts as access, who benefits, and how designers can know. Aimi Hamraie will discuss some of the insights of Critical Access Studies that can better inform the theory and practice of accessible design.
Aimi Hamraie is Associate Professor of Medicine, Health, & Society and American Studies at Vanderbilt University, and director of the Critical Design Lab, a collaborative of disabled designers, artists, and researchers working within a disability culture framework. Hamraie is also the author of Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability. They are a recent appointee to the United States Access Board.
