ASMSA announces Café series lineup
The Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts’ Science and Arts Café lecture series lineup has been set for the 2016-17 academic year.
This year’s series will feature members of ASMSA’s faculty leading discussions on a range of topics. The lectures will be held at 7 p.m. the second Thursday of each month in October through December and February through April.
The lectures are free and open to the public. Kollective Coffee+Tea at 110 Central Ave. in downtown will serve as the series’ host for the second year in a row.
Liz Miller will present “The Hours of Catherine Cleves Illuminated” on Oct. 13. “The Hours of Catherine Cleves” is an illuminated manuscript commissioned in the mid-15th century. Miller, ASMSA’s head librarian, will discuss the manuscript filled with 157 full-page illuminations wrapped in thematic borders and how the book presents an intriguing tale of 15th century life that goes beyond the biblical narrative.
“Country Talk” by Bryan Adams will be offered Nov. 10. Adams, a French instructor at ASMSA, will explore antiquated speech patterns and idiomatic expressions in Appalachian English that persist to today.
Daniel Moix will present “How Did Amazon Know That I Want Those Boots, and Why Did They Start Following Me Around on the Internet” on Dec. 8. Moix, ASMSA’s computer science education specialist, will discuss interesting ways businesses collect, store and use information to target advertising to individuals.
Jack Waddell will lead the Feb. 9 program, “How We Know What We Know — Quantum Mechanics.” Waddell, an ASMSA physics instructor, will discuss the results of a century of brain-bending experiments that led us to where we are today.
Humanities instructor Mary Leigh will lead the program, “From ‘Sherlock Holmes’ to ‘Bones’: How a Nineteenth-Century Detective Inspires New Genres,” on March 9. Leigh will lead a discussion to attempt to discover what is culturally satisfying about Holmes by examining crime fiction as it merges with the medical drama, criminal psychology, searches for justice through scientific analysis and returns full circle in the BBC’s “Sherlock.”
“The Way of Thinking: West vs East,” will be offered by Tingting Tian on April 13. Tian, an ASMSA Mandarin Chinese instructor and Chinese native, will give participants a better understanding about the differences between Eastern and Western ways of thinking.
