Smart Energy Building -- SN 1001A (Fountain Room)
All are welcome to this MSE Colloquium called "Can Nanotechnology be Fashionable? Exploring the intersection between science and design by merging 200 years of innovation history."   The common thread of our scientific journey is made of cotton: a natural fiber, made from cellulose, nature’s most abundant polymer, and a material that has been used in close proximity to our bodies for over 6,000 years. We have created cotton fabrics that are chemically permselective, electrically conductive, capable of changing colors, capable of sensing biomarkers from sweat, and of serving as substrates for other functionalities. These discoveries not only have generated numerous publications, patents, and start-up companies but also have allowed us to use fashion and design as a vehicle to better communicate science to youth, and to generate awareness of our research work in the general public and the media. We have explored the interaction of cotton substrates with a myriad of materials including nanolayers, nanorods, nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, and reactive conformal coatings – always exploring the synergies between natural and synthetic materials. There are no textiles without design, so in in this seminar, as I discuss details of our research work, I will also narrate some stories about our journey navigating the interface between science and design. I received formal education in chemical engineering, materials science, and polymer rheology. However, I do work in an academic field called Fiber Science & Apparel Design in which the majority of our undergraduate students are inclined towards the fashion design business. This unusual environment has allowed us the opportunity to understand materials and chemical processes with the optics of design. I will discuss how being exposed to a completely different ecosystem, such as that of design, has not only made us better material chemists and better engineers, but also has empowered our students to explore new dimensions of design.

Mario and Antoinette Romano Lecture: April 2

Milette Gaifman, the Andrew Downey Orrick Professor of Classics and History of Art at Yale University, will give this year’s Mario and Antoinette Romano Lecture at 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, in Admissions Center Room 189.

Her lecture, “Dionysos in the City Square: From Ancient Athens to the United States,” will explore the history of a landmark erected in democratic Athens after a victory in a choral competition and how it became a model for architectural structures across the United States.

A scholar of ancient art and archaeology, Gaifman’s work focuses primarily on Greek art of the Archaic and Classical periods. She is the author of "Aniconism in Greek Antiquity and The Art of Libation in Classical Athens." Her current book project, "A Landmark Through Time: On Classifying Greek Art and Architecture" (forthcoming with Chicago University Press), is the revised and expanded version of the Louise Smith Bross Lectures she delivered at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Department of Art History at the University of Chicago in 2018.

The lecture is sponsored by the Mario and Antoinette Romano Endowment, the Art History Department and Harpur College of Arts and Sciences.

4/4-4/6/25- Evil Does Not Exist, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Japan,2023, 106 min.

In the rural alpine hamlet of Mizubiki, not far from Tokyo,Takumi and his daughter, Hana, lead a modest life gathering water, wood, andwild wasabi for the local udon restaurant. Increasingly, the townsfolk becomeaware of a talent agency’s plan to build an opulent glamping site nearby,offering city residents a comfortable “escape” to the snowy wilderness. Whentwo company representatives arrive and ask for local guidance, Takumi becomesconflicted in his involvement, as it becomes clear that the project will have apernicious impact on the community. Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s follow up to hisAcademy Award-winning DRIVE MY CAR is a foreboding fable on humanity'smysterious, mystical relationship with nature. As sinister gunshots echo fromthe forest, both the locals and representatives confront their life choices andthe haunting consequences they have.

Academic A G008
Join us for a discussion of The Youngest Yugoslavs: An Oral History of Post-Socialist Memory, a collection of interviews with the last generation of Yugoslavs, those born between 1971 and 1991. The volume showcases how these individuals remembered their childhoods during the final decades of socialism and how they conceptualized the lasting impact Yugoslavia has had on their lives. In her talk, Dr. Babović explores why Yugoslavia resonated so prominently in the memories of this generation thirty years since the state collapsed amidst war, genocide, and dislocation. It also offers insights into how these individuals reconciled with the loss of homeland and navigated the world after Yugoslavia.

Dr. Jovana Babović is an Associate Professor of History at SUNY Geneseo. She holds a PhD in modern European history from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign as well as MA degrees from New York University and Central European University. Dr. Babović new book The Youngest Yugoslavs: An Oral History of Post-Socialist Memory will be published by the Indiana University Press in 2025. She is also the author of Metropolitan Belgrade: Class and Culture in Interwar Yugoslavia (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2018) and Sleater-Kinney’s Dig Me Out (Bloomsbury Academic Press, 2016).

4/25-4/27/25- Sarraounia, Med Hondo, 1986, 122min.

Director Med Hondo unflinchingly depicts the horrors ofcolonial occupation and conflict with a realistic, epic style, to adaptAbdoulaye Mamani’s Sarraounia, a historical novel about the West African Battleof Lougou. With an incisive eye toward the psychology of warfare, Hondo chartsthe brutal arrogance of French commanders Captain Paul Voulet and LieutenantJulien Chanoine, as well as the fierce determination of Sarraounia, the titularAzna queen, a revered leader who inspires her people to fight the French armywhen most of the surrounding tribes have made deals with the invaders or joinedtheir forces. Ready to meet her adversaries on the battlefield to defend hertribe and its way of life, native oral history claims she was a witch who couldhurl fire at the invaders and any crops that were blazed to ash regrewovernight with more than enough food to keep the warriors going. Rarelyscreened today, Sarraounia remains one of the greatest experiments inhistorical-surrealism to come from Africa.
