Edgar’s son George is charting his own course in the musical world and represents the next generation of artists expressing their unique voices and perspective. He certainly has strong roots!

      5:30 pmBarnard Observatory, Gammill Gallery

      Lectures: The artwork of Nadia Alexis: photographer, poet, and creative-writing-concentration doctoral student at UM.

      On Feb. 10 at 5:30 p.m. in Barnard Observatory’s Gammill Gallery, Nadia Alexis presents “What Endures.”  The artwork of Nadia Alexis—photographer, poet, and creative-writing-concentration doctoral student at the University of Mississippi—will be shown in the Gammill Gallery in Barnard Observatory this spring. The photographs in her series “What Endures” focus on the enduring spirit of Black women and contribute to the conversation on how Black women exist in photography.

      The photographs in this series began as an independent study course that Alexis took in the UM Department of Art and Art History, where she was inspired to make photographs informed by her personal experiences and those of other Black women survivors of trauma. The images in her exhibi­tion are of Alexis and her mother, all of which were taken outdoors in Oxford. The images explore themes of survival, freedom, and transcendence.

      “What Endures” will exhibit in Gammill Gallery from Jan. 10 to Feb. 18. During this Gamill Gallery walk and reception, Alexis will speak briefly about her exhibition and take questions.

      Dr. Maria Weber from the Department of Math and Sciences at Delta State University will present "Magnetic Furnaces: The Secret Lives of Middle-Aged Stars."

      We live with a star – the Sun! Stars have a secret life beyond what we can see with the naked eye. Some slowly fizzle out over billions of years, and some go out with a bang. Join astrophysicist Dr. Maria Weber as she discusses the lifecycle and magnetism of stars like the Sun, which are living out their middle-aged years between birth and death building intense magnetism in their deep interiors – magnetism which may impact their orbiting worlds. Find out how well we can predict the Sun’s magnetic behavior, if we should be concerned, and how our work to understand the Sun helps us better understand habitable worlds throughout the galaxy

      Lectures:  Berkley Hudson presents 'Listening to the Mississippi Pictures of O.N. Pruitt.'

        At noon on Feb. 16, Berkley Hudson presents “Listening to the Mississippi Pictures of O.N. Pruitt.” Originating in the Jim Crow era from Columbus, Mississippi, the photographs of O.N. Pruitt (1891–1967) offer a vehicle to consider the vexing interrelations of photography, community, culture, race, and historical memory. During this SouthTalk, Columbus, Mississippi-native and author of “O.N. Pruitt’s Possum Town: Photographing Trouble and Resilience in the American South,” Hudson will share some of Pruitt’s photography and reflect on some of the images and themes captured.

        Hudson is an associate professor emeritus of the Missouri School of Journalism. For 25 years he worked as a journalist, part of which at the Los Angeles Times. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Mississippi, where he majored in history and journalism. Later, he received a master’s from Columbia University and a doctorate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was born in Columbus, Mississippi, and lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

        Lectures: Castel Sweet presents ''Does My Message Define My Role?' Hip-Hop Artists' Interpretation of Having a Role in Their Community.'

          At noon on Feb. 23, Castel Sweet presents “‘Does My Message Define My Role?’ Hip-Hop Artists’ Interpretation of Having a Role in Their Community.” Using data from interviews with hip-hop artists, Castel Sweet will discuss how artists’ emphasis on their music’s message influences their interpretation of having a role, or identifiable place, in their local community. Considering the significance of space and place within hip-hop music, Sweet examines how respondents’ identities as artists are shaped by their local communities and how artists’ identities influence their production of hip-hop music. Sweet explores if and how hip-hop artists maintain connections to their local communities and construct localized identities within a global market that encourages the deterritorialization of music.

          Sweet is the director of the University of Mississippi’s Center for Community Engagement in the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, and assistant professor of practice in community engagement. In addition to her work as a community engagement professional, Sweet’s qualitative research explores the ways in which hip-hop artists use their art to pursue social change and community engagement.

          Written by Anne Marie Cammarato
          Directed by Peter Wood

          Hazel is about a family struggling to survive a climate that has collapsed, bringing continual storms and emptying out their hometown. Even as the storms rage and food becomes scarce, they also struggle with their mother’s increasing dementia and confusion. When one of the two sisters becomes pregnant, the decision to stay in the land they still consider home becomes a point of contention and disagreement.

          Dr. Donald Cole, an emeritus upper administrator and faculty
          member in Mathematics recently charged the campus, at the
          ceremony dedicating the renaming of the Martindale-Cole
          building, to follow what he called the “Cole-Martindale Principle”
          which “embraces inclusion, values diversity and demands equity”.
          In pursuit of further discussing this principle, special guests Dr. Donald Cole,
          Dr. Carla Cotwright-Williams, and Dr. Richard Doss will provide a window into the history
          of some of the most impactful equity-focused initiatives for African American students in
          STEM and beyond at the University of Mississippi. The goal of this conversation is to
          support increased understanding and awareness of the importanceof McNair, IMAGE,
          AGEM, and similar initiatives, to inspire equity-minded change by members of our
          College of Liberal Arts community and all and to better support student success inside
          and outside the classroom keeping in mind the importance of building a sense of
          mattering and inclusion for students of color at the University of Mississippi.

          Lectures: The Art in Barnard Lecture complements our yearlong theme of 'Mississippi Voices' by featuring Greenwood artist Yolande Van Heerden

          At noon on Wednesday, March 9, Yolande van Heerden will give the Art in Barnard Lecture in the Courtyard behind Barnard Observatory. This semester, the Art in Barnard Lecture will complement the Center’s yearlong theme of “Mississippi Voices” by featuring fiber artist and art instructor Yolande van Heerden of Greenwood, Mississippi. Van Heerden teaches a wide range of art classes, including sewing, quilting, and garment/fiber art projects. A native of South Africa, van Heerden celebrates her homeland’s cultural diversity through her community outreach work, and she draws up the richness of its fabric tradition in her own creations. She works as an art teacher for groups of small children, conducts courses in sewing at ArtPlace Mississippi, and has coordinated multiple community-wide quilting projects for organizations including the Museum of the Mississippi Delta.

          In her SouthTalk, van Heerden will discuss some of the projects she has led in partnership with the nonprofit ArtPlace Mississippi. Projects have included community fashion shows, featuring clothing sewn by young Greenwood students, several community quilt creations sewn by both children and adults that reflect different social or natural themes, and public art programs, including “silent wind chimes” included in the Katrina Cottage project in Greenwood’s Baptist Town neighborhood and in the Keep Greenwood Strong campaign early in the pandemic.

          At noon on Friday, March 11, there will be a virtual SouthTalk with Stephen Fafulas and Matt Van Hoose titled “Voces Sureñas: Case Studies of Spanish in Northern Mississippi and Eastern North Carolina.” Although the U.S. South has experienced a significant Latinx demographic shift in recent decades, we still know little about the sociolinguistic implications of these changes. In their talk, Fafulas and Van Hoose consider how Spanish speakers’ language practices and patterns—such as code-switching and discourse markers—can be said to constitute the voice of Spanish-speaking communities in both north Mississippi and in eastern North Carolina.

          Fafulas is assistant professor of Spanish at the University of Mississippi. Van Hoose is executive director of academic engagement at Howard Community College in Columbia, Maryland.

          Interiority listens to an outside through itself, as itself, and upon recognition of this forms a looped experiential substrate in which there isn't definitively a separate self that listens, but only listening. The sounds we hear, along with the awareness that forms an image of them, are made of (and move within) the same substances; they are both in consciousness- one as the representation/ translation of some supposed external object, the other as the awareness of that object. Nature persists as an appearance to an interiority, but that same interiority is merely the frame which houses the perception of all outer things. In this talk I will ask how the above relates to a music-theoretical practice and the construction of aesthetic ideas that reconfigure the perceptual situation as the diagrammatic condition for a mode of possible listening (where listening, in turn, is the process of hearing).

          Dr. Kwame Anthony Appiah is an American philosopher, novelist, and scholar of African and African American studies, best known for his contributions to political philosophy, moral psychology, and the philosophy of culture. Named one of Foreign Policy's Top 100 public intellectuals and awarded a National Humanities Medal by the White House, Appiah currently teaches at NYU.

          About the Dunbar Lectures: We often come across discussions of policy-related issues in law, and frequently hear about particular laws being passed by congress or considered by courts. But we rarely take the time to ask basic questions, such as "What is law?" Established in 1987 by Jack and Wylene Dunbar, the Dunbar Lectures in Philosophy and Law invites nationally renowned public intellectuals to the University of Mississippi campus to explore philosophical themes in law, and to stimulate creative and analytical thinking concerning the law's role in society.

          Science is fun at the Oxford Science Café! Join us for an exciting presentation by Dr. Jason Hoeksema (University of Mississippi)

          Dr. Jason Hoeksema, Professor of Biology at the University of Mississippi, will present: "Science and conservation for birds and humans on working lands in the Mississippi Delta."

          The Mississippi Delta was historically a vast wetland, covered with flooded woodlands, swamps, and oxbow lakes. These wetland habitats provided essential ecosystem services, including flood control and wildlife habitat. Today, most of these wetlands have been drained or diverted for agriculture, which supplies food and represents a key economic base in our region. Is there a way we can conserve and restore the ecosystem services of wetlands, while maintaining sustainable agricultural production? Delta Wind Birds (DWB) is a conservation non-profit based in Oxford, working to conserve existing wetlands and especially to create temporary wetlands on private lands in the Delta, including crop farms. Scientists from the University of Mississippi, the USDA-ARS, and Mississippi State University are partnering with DWB to study how these temporary wetlands may benefit migratory water birds, conserve soil, reduce downstream nutrient pollution, and improve crop yields

          The Warren Debate Union (WDU) at the University of Mississippi would like to cordially invite you to a public debate event.

          The event is open to the public and free of charge. We encourage anyone interested to attend.

          The debate will be between 4 student members of the WDU and will cover the topic of transportation.


          The city of Oxford recently passed a rule that shifts all taxi and rideshare application traffic to three designated pickup locations around the iconic Oxford square. The change has been supported by many students but faced criticism from taxi drivers. We believe the new rule creates an opportunity to debate transit issues facing Oxford and the entire nation. The rapid rise of rideshare applications such as Uber has revolutionized transportation in the United States and opened up a debate about the role of traditional public transportation options in an era where getting a ride is as easy as clicking a button on your phone.


          We hope that the debate provides a unique educational opportunity to learn more about an important issue facing our community in Oxford, and that the debate can contribute to a conversation on campus about transportation policy.

          Please feel free to spread the word about this event.

          If you have any questions, please contact Director of Forensics Jacob Justice at jwjustic@olemiss.edu.

            “Race Land: The Ecology of Segregation”

            Maarten Zwiers

            “Race Land: The Ecology of Segregation” is a global and environmental history of the Jim Crow South during the Cold War era. Segregationists not only exploited (and destroyed) human beings, but also the environment—human and natural resources were systematically mined to uphold the social ecosystem of the South. In this SouthTalk, Maarten Zwiers will discuss the multifaceted and transnational nature of US segregationist thought and practice and the global networks its proponents formed in the years after World War II to sustain their White-supremacist worldview.

            Zwiers is a senior lecturer in contemporary history and American studies at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. He is the author of Senator James Eastland: Mississippi’s Jim Crow Democrat. He is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow at the Center for the Study of Southern Culture.

            I Am from Here: Stories and Recipes from a Southern Chef

            Vishwesh Bhatt and Sara Camp Milam

            Vishwesh Bhatt has been the chef at Snackbar in Oxford since its opening in 2009. A native of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, Bhatt is a graduate of the University of Kentucky. He moved to Oxford after college to begin a graduate program in political science but soon abandoned academia for restaurant kitchens. When folks in Mississippi ask him the loaded question, “But where are you really from?” his response is, “I am from here.” That’s the title of Bhatt’s cookbook. Throughout the book Bhatt tells stories of understandings forged over shared meals and explores the common ingredients that connect global cuisines, particularly those of India and the American South.

            Bhatt will be in conversation with Sara Camp Milam, managing editor of the Southern Foodways Alliance. Milam has a BA in Spanish from Princeton University and an MA in folklore from UNC-Chapel Hill.

            “Coming Full Circle: My Journey through the University of Mississippi, to Many Points Beyond and Back”

            Dorothye Quaye Chapman Reed

            Author, columnist, academic, businesswoman, and 1974 UM alumna, Dorothye Quaye Chapman Reed said that she was “only three years old when Emmett Till was killed in neighboring Tallahatchie County, I was ten when James Meredith attempted to enroll at the University of Mississippi. Stores in my hometown would not allow us to sit on the stools to enjoy an ice cream cone or have a cold drink. Fortunately, Black men and women in my community taught us how to cope in this environment and strive for equality.”

            As a part of the sixtieth anniversary of integration on the University of Mississippi’s campus, Chapman Reed’s presentation will not only focus on her early life in Water Valley, Mississippi, but her time at the University of Mississippi after its integration.  She will also discuss her work on the “Black Families of Yalobusha County” oral history project with the University’s Center for the Study of Southern Culture.

            The event is hosted by the University of Mississippi Libraries and the Center for the Study of Southern Culture. Following the program all attendees are invited to join a University of Mississippi Slavery Guided Tour by history PhD candidate Don Guillory at 2:00 p.m. Attendees should meet on the steps of the Lyceum (304 University Circle). The tour will last forty-five to sixty minutes.

            The Department of Classics is hosting a traveling photographic and historical exhibit called, “14 Black Classicists”. The exhibit, conceived and curated by Dr. Michele Valerie Ronnick of Wayne State University, reflects on the role of advanced education (and especially of the study of Classics) in building a free and prosperous Black community in the United States. Dr. Ronnick has collected the stories of nineteenth-century Black Americans who chose to pursue advanced education in Greek and Latin language and ancient history, literature and art, and went on to teach in the field. The exhibit is open until November 18th, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 7 pm in the Farrington Gallery on the first floor of Bryant Hall.

            In addition to the exhibit, we will be hosting Dr. Ronnick for a talk on Thursday, November 3 at 5:30 in Bryant 209, with a reception and exhibit event preceding the talk, beginning at 4:00 in Farrington Gallery. Dr. Ronnick will provide “A Brief History of Black Classicism”. Monica Granderson-Little, who teaches in English at Jackson State University, will be delivering preliminary remarks that will help connect Dr. Ronnick’s talk and the exhibit to the broader history of Black education, with a particular focus on the history and the future of JSU.

            Visitor and handicap parking for both events is available on the Lyceum Circle. ADA-compliant access to Bryant Hall is through the Fulton Chapel side door.

            “Region, Race, and History: Racial Palimpsests in the Southern US”

            Angel Parham

            The racial history of the US is too often defined monolithically in terms of a Black/White color line which has consistently dominated the country. But careful attention to particular regional histories, particularly in the US South with its connections to Latin America and the Caribbean, make clear that there have always been regional nuances that complicate the Black/White dualism often assumed to shape understandings of race across the United States.

            Dr. Jan Strube, Institute for Fundamental Science at the University of Oregon and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)

            The field of particle physics started with the study of charged particles from cosmic radiation that originate high up in the Earth's atmosphere and reach the surface, where they can be detected. Curiosity about these particles led to the development of instruments and facilities that allowed us to produce them in the laboratory and study them in detail. While these experiments increased our understanding of nature, of the cosmological evolution, and of the origin of matter, they kept growing, leading to today's large international collaborations that steward investments of billions of dollars. What are the questions still left unanswered for today's particle physicists? What kind of questions are we looking to answer with the next generation of big science, and what are the facilities proposed to study them? Can we not get the same results with smaller investments? The author will present arguments that big scientific collaborations benefit fundamental physics, applied research, and society and the general public and looks forward to an interesting question and answer session after the presentation.

            “Race in The Secret Lives of Church Ladies

            Deesha Philyaw and Ethel Scurlock

            Readers and critics alike embraced Deesha Philyaw’s The Secret Lives of Church Ladies, a collection of nine short stories focused on Black women, sex, and the Black church. Yet the collection is rarely discussed as being “about race,” with emphasis placed instead on issues related to gender, sexuality, and religion. In this conversation between Ethel Scurlock and Philyaw, they will explore the significance of race in the book’s stories.

            Philyaw’s short story collection won the 2021 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the 2020/2021 Story Prize, the 2020 Los Angeles Times’ Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction, and was a finalist for the 2020 National Book Award for fiction. Philyaw is also a Kimbilio Fiction Fellow and will be the 2022–23 John and Renée Grisham Writer in Residence at the University of Mississippi.

            Scurlock is dean of the University of Mississippi’s Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College, associate professor of English and African American studies, and senior fellow of the Luckyday Residential College. Scurlock became a faculty member at the University of Mississippi in 1996 and has taught honors courses for more than sixteen years. Prior to being named dean, Scurlock was also the director of African American studies.

            The annual Halloween-themed open house at the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

            Bring your kids and friends to learn about energy, electricity, magnetism, sound and waves, the physics of ultracold temperatures and more. But beware! Expect a hair-raising experience -- literally: we'll shoot enough electricity through your body to make your hair stand up -- and other ‘nefarious’ experiments involving a bed of nails, lasers, superconductors and electromagnets. All harmless activities, of course! The night will also include food and fun, a Halloween costume contest for children, and liquid nitrogen ice cream for everybody, ‘freshly’ made at -320 F degrees.

            Demo shows full of fun and excitement will be held at 6:15 and 7:30 pm in Lewis Hall 101 and 109. Additional demos will be presented by students, staff, and faculty throughout the evening in and outside of Lewis Hall.

            Spooky Physics Night visitors may park in the University Circle, surrounding areas alongside or behind Turner Complex and the Intensive English building (just west of Turner), in the Pavilion garage or in the Tad Smith coliseum parking lot.

            We are pleased to invite you to the 89th Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Section of the American Physical Society (SESAPS). SESAPS 2022 will be held November 3-5, 2022 at The Inn at Ole Miss on the University of Mississippi campus. Established in 1937, SESAPS exists for the advancement and diffusion of knowledge of physics within the southeastern region of the United States, including the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia; the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; and the US Virgin Islands. We especially encourage undergraduate and graduate students to attend and submit abstracts for oral and/or poster presentations. Limited travel support is available for students. We will also have numerous exciting special sessions, including a session to promote discussion on diversity issues in physics.

            SESAPS 2022 will include sessions covering a broad range of current topics in physics research, a student poster session, a graduate program fair, and the presentation of the annual SESAPS awards in teaching (Pegram), research (Beams), and service (Slack). Undergraduate students will have the chance to compete for prizes for best oral and poster presentations. The meeting banquet will feature a keynote address aimed towards a general audience.

            Please reach out to the SESAPS 2022 local organizing committee at sesaps22@phy.olemiss.edu if you have any questions about the meeting.

            Please visit the SESAPS 2022 website for more information and see the SESAPS Program for a full list of events.

            The Fall Documentary Showcase is a celebration of the work by our documentary students. Each artist will present their work, followed by a Q&A session.

            SouthTalks is a series of events (including lectures, performances, film screenings, and panel discussions) that explores the interdisciplinary nature of Southern Studies. This series is free and open to the public, and typically takes place in the Tupelo Room of Barnard Observatory unless otherwise noted. There are quite a few interesting virtual offerings this semester. Virtual events allow us to connect to larger audiences unable to attend programming in person and allow speakers to participate in the series no matter their location. Visit the Center’s website for up-to-date-information about all Center events.
