Events

Intellectual collaborations thrive in environments where ideas are shared, freely and respectfully, among people representing different backgrounds and perspectives. Many of society’s most urgent challenges can only be addressed by enlisting the public as partners. This is why the Neubauer Collegium regularly opens its inquiries and conversations to the public.

Linguistic Futures: Paris Workshop

Scholars at this workshop will share recent findings about "endangered" languages and collaborate on a forthcoming volume of essays.

At this intensive workshop, an international group of scholars will gather to review current research, drafts of case studies, and new theoretical insights about "endangered" languages. Papers developed through this collaborative process will be published in a forthcoming volume of essays that will put shifting languages at the center of sociolinguistic theory.

Future of the Humanities Info Session (2)

Discussion

Future of the Humanities Info Session (2)

This virtual session will answer questions about the application process for the Future of the Humanities initiative.

The Neubauer Collegium’s Future of the Humanities initiative, supported by the MacArthur Foundation, invites applications for a small number (4-5) of one-year, experimental, collaborative research projects that explore potential futures for humanistic and/or artistic research, production, and dissemination. Grant awards will be up to $50,000.

We seek proposals for dynamic, ambitious, and innovative projects that model especially promising forms for the future of humanistic research. Projects should enact potential futures for humanistic research rather than simply discuss them. We are particularly interested in projects that propose promising modes of:

– Research and/or
– Collaboration and/or
– Dissemination to the public

We welcome proposals for projects that emphasize “epistemic pluralism,” meaning they embrace a variety of approaches to knowledge. This might include research that entails embodied, relational, or spatial forms of inquiry, alongside verbal and analytic thinking.

Opening Reception for Pierre Bismuth: Love Bless America

Exhibition Opening

Opening Reception for Pierre Bismuth: Love Bless America

This exhibition features new works by the Brussels-based French conceptual artist and filmmaker Pierre Bismuth.

This exhibition features new works by the Brussels-based French conceptual artist and filmmaker Pierre Bismuth. The centerpiece is a long-form meditative film documenting a creative collaboration between Joshua Abrams and Sharon Udoh, two leading figures from Chicago’s jazz and improvised music scene. Bismuth tasked them with composing a 21st-century spiritual based on a lyrical hymn he wrote for the project. The film traces the magic and workaday practice of “inspiration,” taking the traditions of religious music as a point of departure for a multi-layered reflection on love, music, and the divine. In addition to this new film, Bismuth will present a series of digital images resembling American flags emblazoned with lyrics from the hymn.

The opening reception, presented as part of the twentieth annual Hyde Park Jazz Festival, will include a live performance by Abrams and Udoh of the piece they composed together.
