SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feminist 250: Gender and Freedom at the Founding
DESCRIPTION:Join the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) for a lecture by historian Vanessa Holden\, Associate Professor of History at the University of Kentucky and Director of the African American and Africana Studies Program. Holden's research examines slave insurrections and their impact on our understanding of the nation's founding\, with particular attention to the experiences of women and children whose stories are often absent from traditional narratives of early American democracy.\n\nHolden is also co-creator of the Freedom on the Run public humanities project\, which preserves and makes accessible historical newspaper advertisements documenting the efforts of enslaved people to self-emancipate. Drawing from her scholarship and public humanities work\, Holden will explore how expanding our understanding of who was present at the founding can deepen conversations about democracy\, citizenship\, and belonging in the United States.\n\nHeld in conjunction with programming surrounding the nation's 250th anniversary and Constitution Day\, the event invites students\, faculty\, staff\, and community members to engage with the complex histories that continue to shape American democracy today.\n\nCopies of Holden's work and the Summer 2026 special issue of Ms. Magazine\, Feminism and the Founding\, will be available while supplies last.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sixth Annual Luis Gomez Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Learning to Read from Mahāyāna Sūtras\n\nWhy read Mahāyāna sūtras? These seemingly fantastical\, overtly manipulative\, frankly baffling ancient texts might seem to have little to attract contemporary readers. I will argue\, however\, that they have much to teach us about the act of reading. Because they assume a sacrificial cosmology in which reading is a ritual for transforming self and world\, they help us to recognize and question the features of our own technologically informed cosmology of reading. In our time\, when reading is often reduced to information transfer or an optional leisure activity\, Mahāyāna sūtras show us how word-born worlds enter and alter our bodyminds. In the process\, they challenge us to rethink\, and experience\, literature differently. Learning to read Mahāyāna sūtras—and learning to read from Mahāyāna sūtras—demands that we recognize the ritual aspects of literature\, Buddhist and beyond.\n\nBiography\n\nNatalie Gummer is Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies and holds the Edwin F. Wilde\, Jr. Distinguished Service Chair at Beloit College\, where she also directs the Center for Integrative Learning. Her research examines textual and ritual practices in premodern Mahāyāna Buddhist literary cultures\, with particular interests in performance\, translation\, and the contemporary ethical possibilities of Buddhist literature. She received her Ph.D. from Harvard University.
