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).

Faculty Speaker Series
2023-03-28 12:30 - 13:30 | Online
Join Dana M. Polanichka , Associate Professor of History, for the upcoming lunch talk, Writing in Exile: A Medieval’s Mother Manifesto.
In 841 CE, an aristocratic woman in southern France was in desperate straits. As civil war raged in the empire, her husband betrayed the king, her teenage son became a political hostage, her unbaptized infant was taken from her arms, and her husband forced her to remain alone in Uzès. Lonely and ailing, she picked up a quill and began to write. This talk explores Dhuoda, the handbook she penned for her sons, and her rebellious ideas about daring ideas about gender and power.
Presenters will start by discussing their topic then will end with question and answer. All presentations are virtual and free. The Zoom link will be sent the day before this discussion.

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.

All events are open to the public.
Presented by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program.
