Russian Art And Russian Studies In America, 1917-1945 (2:00PM)

Russian Art Conference, October 2-4, 2008, Dartmouth College
A Symposium

The Symposium explores the rich cultural (as well as political and economic)dialogue between Soviet Russia and the United States during the two decades after the Russian Revolution. The Symposium will also highlight the historic role of Dartmouth alumni, Curators, and faculty in fostering an appreciation of foreign cultures broadly, and of Russian culture in particular. In a series of case studies, speakers will address ways in which the decorative and visual arts served to stimulate both an interest in Russia and its culture, and to establish the notion of Russian artistic achievement.

From September 30 through November 1, Baker Library will present "Bringing Russia to Dartmouth: The Legacy of Ralph Sylvester Bartlett" curated by John C. DeSantis, Dartmouth College.

From October 1 through 7, the Rauner Special Collections Library will present "An Imperial Provenance: Four Books from the Romanov Libraries Now at Dartmouth," an exhibit curated by Eric Esau, Dartmouth College.

 Individual oral presentations of prepared text will be NO MORE THEN 25 minutes
in length.

All sessions and tea times are open to the public.

Climate Change, Culture Change And Human Rights: Making The Case For Viliui Sakha Of NE Siberia (4:00PM)

Susan A. Crate
Assistant Professor of Human Ecology
Department of Environmental Science and Policy
George Mason University
http://esp.gmu.edu/people/facultybios/crate.html

October 22 4:00-5:00 PM
Room 041 Haldeman

Description: The Sakha of northeastern Siberia, Russia, are most northern contemporary
agropastoralists practicing horse and cattle husbandry. This talk first documents
Viliui Sakha elders' testimonies about how their climate, environment, and daily
and seasonal rhythms are changing, explores how those testimonies build a case
for the human rights offenses of global climate change for these communities,
then contemplates anthropologists' role in witnessing, acting and communicating
the local realities and the human rights offenses to advocate for change.
