SUMMARY:Community Service:Gift of Life Drive
DESCRIPTION:Stop by for a Gift of Life registry drive! It takes just a quick cheek swab and under five minutes of your time to join the registry\, giving patients battling blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma a shot at a life-saving match. Many patients never find a donor\, and young\, diverse registrants are especially needed to fill gaps in the registry. Come swab\, get free stuff\, and help us keep building Michigan's #1 Gift of Life chapter in the country.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 Heberle Award and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join the English Department for the 2026 Annual Lora Hutchins Heberle Award and Lecture with Professor Amanda Anderson of Brown University:\n\nSome of the most influential frameworks for understanding human thought -- in psychology\, in moral and political philosophy\, and in cognitive science -- have failed to recognize the quality\, form\, and significance of slow\, persistent ruminative processes oriented toward experiences of moral shock or disturbance. Such experiences include but are not limited to profound loss\, grief\, regret\, or injury\, including those fundamental assaults on dignity we might designate as status-injury. Drawing on examples from the literary tradition\, I demonstrate that rumination is a productive moral process and not merely a psychological symptom of oversensitivity or trauma endured. \n\nAbout the speaker:\nAmanda Anderson joined the Brown faculty in 2012 as the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities and English. She served as Director of the Cogut Institute for the Humanities from 2015-2026. Her research focuses on broad questions of intellectual history\, disciplinary formation\, and the relations among literature\, moral life\, and politics. She served as host of the podcast Meeting Street from 2020-2023. \n\nHer books include Rumination in Life and Literature: A Vindication (forthcoming University of Chicago Press\, 2027)\, Humanities Theory (with Simon During\, Oxford\, 2025)\, Character: Three Inquiries in Literary Study (with Rita Felski and Toril Moi\, Chicago\, 2019)\, Psyche and Ethos: Moral Life After Psychology (Clarendon Lectures in English Literature) (Oxford\, 2018)\, Bleak Liberalism (Chicago\, 2016)\, The Way We Argue Now: A Study in the Cultures of Theory (Princeton\, 2006)\, The Powers of Distance: Cosmopolitanism and the Cultivation of Detachment (Princeton\, 2001)\, and Tainted Souls and Painted Faces: The Rhetoric of Fallenness in Victorian Culture (Cornell\, 1993).  She is co-editor of George Eliot: A Companion (Wiley-Blackwell\, 2013) and Disciplinarity at the Fin de Siècle (Princeton\, 2002). \n\nFrom 2008-2014\, she served as the director of the School of Criticism and Theory\, an interdisciplinary summer institute hosted by Cornell University. She serves on the boards of the School of Criticism and Theory (as a Honorary Senior Fellow) and the international Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes. Prior to joining the Brown faculty\, she was Caroline Donovan Professor of English Literature at Johns Hopkins University.
