90 Minutes of Performances about 6 Minutes of Music: The Music of Arnold Schoenberg (details)
Highlights from our co-sponsorship collaborations:
Incarcerated in Iowa
Organized by two alumna of the Obermann Graduate Institute, Kathrina Litchfield (Language, Literature, and Culture) and Gemma Goodale-Sussen (English), and Professor Carolyn Colvin (Teaching & Learning, College of Education), this day-long event focused on Iowa’s prison-community partnerships and on designing roadmaps for current and future collaborations. Watch Litchfield and Goodale-Sussen describe their collaboration.
Carol Tilley lecture, Intellectual Freedom Festival
As part of the Iowa City Public Library’s 20th Carol Spaziani Intellectual Freedom Festival, Carol Tilley, professor of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, spoke about comic culture and censorship. The Obermann Center was excited for an opportunity to support such an important event in our local community on a topic important to the vast array of research taking place on our campus.
90 Minutes of Performances about 6 Minutes of Music: The Music of Arnold Schoenberg
Matthew Arndt, a 2014–15 Obermann Fellow-in-Residence, organized and coordinated a musical performance as an exemplar of his research on the music of Arnold Schoenberg, a modernist composer and artist.
Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life
Sponsored by the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies: Heather Draxl and Kathrina Litchfield (both from Language, Literacy, & Culture, College of Education) attended the conference as P.A.G.E. Fellows to share their publicly engaged and civically minded scholarship.
