Indiana University is pleased to announce the hire of Eunice Lee, currently a doctoral candidate in Literature at the University of California at San Diego. Lee’s research exists at the convergences of U.S. empire, militarism, and global environmental degradation. She follows transnational circuits of goods, capital, and culture to show how diasporic and and Indigenous communities make sense of and resist the harms of slow death brought on by the meatpacking industries and radioactive materials. Lee will begin a position as an assistant professor jointly appointed by the Department of American Studies and the Program in Asian American Studies this fall. Welcome, Professor Lee!

Faculty profile for Eunice Lee, Assistant Professor of American Studies in the IU College of Arts + Sciences.

Professor Liza Black is presenting from new research this Friday.

We have lots of exciting seminars scheduled for the last two weeks of the semester. It's aggravating, but two of them are at exactly the same time this Friday, Dec. 3rd. So, at noon on Friday, you can either join a discussion of Professor Liza Black's new work on missing and murdered indigenous women in the U.S. History Workshop or Professor Mark Roseman's "The Holocaust, Jews, and Modernity" in the European History Workshop (joint meeting with Jewish Studies). In the future, we will try to make sure the continents have their seminars on different days and times! Details below.

For a copy of Professor Black's paper and access to the zoom link, please contact PhD candidate Lizzie Spaeth at espaeth AT iu DOT edu.

Professor Roseman's paper is accessible on the European History Workshop site on Canvas. The seminar will meet in person in GISB 4067. Arrangements have also been made for Zoom attendance; see link in the comments.
