SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Woll Family Speaker Series Presents:  Dr. Rick Hodes as guest speaker
DESCRIPTION:Medicine wrestles with a persistent question: What does it mean to care for the vulnerable when resources are scarce and suffering is relentless? In an era when global health is often reduced to short-term interventions and metrics\, the deeper moral demands of accompaniment can fade from view. Dr. Rick Hodes challenges this narrowing of vision. In his upcoming talk for the Woll Family Speaker Series\, he invites us to consider medicine not as a transaction\, but as a sustained moral commitment.\nDrawing on more than three decades of work in Ethiopia\, Dr. Hodes will share stories of children with complex cardiac and spinal conditions and of a physician who chose to stay. He explores the ethical tensions of caring for patients whose needs far exceed available resources\, and asks what obligations endure when the usual boundaries of training\, geography\, and time fall away.\nDr. Hodes is an internist who has lived and worked in Ethiopia since the mid-1980s. His work brings children to the United States for life-saving care while strengthening local medical capacity. We are honored to welcome Dr. Hodes to the Woll Family Speaker Series for a conversation that will challenge\, inspire\, and reframe how we think about moral responsibility in medicine.\n\nWe are grateful to co-sponsor this talk with Global Reach.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Afterlives of Revolution: Political Passions in Post-revolutionary Nicaragua
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nThe Sandinista National Liberation Front\, which once led a Marxist-inspired popular revolution in Nicaragua (1979-1990)\, returned to power sixteen years later\, now in alliance with former foes in the business sector and the Catholic Church. Based on ethnographic research with contemporary Sandinistas\, this talk examines what appears to be the uncanny transformation of Nicaragua’s revolutionary left tradition during times of neoliberal hegemony and the contradictions that have arisen for grassroots organizers committed to creating lasting structural change.\n\n*Luciana Chamorro is a 2025-26 Hunting Family Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assisstant Professor of Anthropology.*
