Art, History
Description : Titian was a master of Renaissance painting and a genius at attracting powerful clients. Among these was Andrea deï¾ Franceschi (1473-1552)- the Grand Chancellor of the Venetian Republic. De' Franceschi was an elite government official at the top of his game who is also notable for his several portraits. One of theseï¾attributed to the workshop of Titianï¾is now at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. Using state of the art technology- Rebecca Norris- Ph.D.- and a collaborative team delved beneath the surface of the Andrea de' Franceschi portrait. X-rays- infrared reflectography- and pigment sampling revealed layers of evidence that align with Titianï¾s workshop practices. Some of the evidence may even point to Titian himself.

Topics:
Inclusion, Diversity & Equity, Gender Equality, Theatre and Cinema
Description : In the late 16th century, London women were not permitted to act in theatrical works. Shakespeare’s focus was, therefore, restricted to male-dominated casts and masculine-centric plots (only 16% of all the lines written in his plays are delivered by female characters). https://www.unomaha.edu/community-engagement-center/news/events/2019/03/coupled-and-inseparable.php Now, even though women make up over 70% of the total Shakespeare viewing audience, less than one-fourth of professional directors and designers are women. In performance, the opportunities for men outnumber those available to women 8 to 1. In response to the imbalance of female artistic representation in Shakespeare’s productions, Nebraska Shakespeare launched Juno’s Swans in 2016, a program producing Shakespeare works that explores his characters and text through the female experience and perspective. In this lecture, featuring exciting live performances by Nebraska Shakespeare actors, Sarah Brown, Artistic Director of Nebraska Shakespeare, will explore Shakespeare’s relationship with women, the history of crossed-gendered theatre, and will engage in free-form discussion about how producing Shakespeare with a feminine perspective can illuminate the universal humanity of his plays in a new and surprising way.

He studies the molecular pathogenesis of the human parasite Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) and other closely related parasites including those responsible for causing malaria.
