The Soil and The Story: Free Exhibition at the UMN through April 19
submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu
The Goldstein Museum of Design’s latest exhibition, The Soil and The Story, celebrates Black Soilship in the Black Belt by highlighting 12 farms researched in the last three years across Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Its organizers, bridging the College of Design and the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, invite you to explore the relationships between science, nature, history, and culture–here and wherever you stand.
There is no U.S. agricultural history without the expertise and labor of Black people. Black farmers, horticulturists, scientists, and inventors have revolutionized the way our agricultural system functions. During the Great Migration six million Black people moved north and west to escape racial violence, economic and educational disadvantage, and the oppression of Jim Crow laws.
But many Black farmers remained. They liberate and heal both themselves and the soil by incorporating ancestral African traditions and indigenous land knowledge. The voices of Black farmers are essential to the knowledge and practices of U.S. soil health today and the design of systems and policies for the future.
This exhibition is organized by Tiffany LaShae, MS Land and Atmospheric Science, College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, with Terresa Moses, Assistant Professor, Graphic Design and Director of Design Justice, College of Design.
The exhibit is in the HGA Gallery in Rapson Hall on the East Bank Minneapolis Campus of the University of Minnesota. Primary entrances are open to the public during regular business hours.

Racialized Musical (His)tories Guest Lecture by Dr. Philip Ewell TODAY 2-3:30 p.m.

RACIALIZED MUSICAL (HIS)TORIES Guest Lecture by Dr. Philip Ewell on Thursday, 3/21, 2-3:30pm,

Sateren Auditorium
In certain languages the words for “history” and “story” are the same, as in French (histoire) or Russian (история). “History” usually implies an accurate account of past events, while “story” usually refers to events that may or may not accurately reflect on the past, embellished as necessary by a “storyteller.” But in this distinction, race is rarely mentioned. Anyone, irrespective of race, can write histories or tell stories, yet with remarkable consistency in the academic study of music in the U.S., our histories have been written by white persons, usually men, passing from generation to generation with little divergence from narratives of “great works” of the “western canon.” And when a nonwhite voice challenges the white narrative, efforts to stifle that voice are swift and severe. In this talk I’ll expand on music’s histories and stories, and explain why the common American music curriculum is still segregated along racial lines. I’ll then suggest that we need to desegregate it and foreground race in our discussions so that all racial musics, and musical races, have a seat at the table and a voice in the conversation.

Friday: Biophysics Week Affiliate Seminar Event
submitted by stottrup@augsburg.edu
This week is Biophysics Week, and Augsburg is hosting an Affiliate Event with the Biophysical Society. Anna Gaffney, a University of Chicago graduate student, will share her research in lipid monolayer reorganization, elasticity, and phase transitions with Augsburg University undergraduates. All are welcome! The seminar begins Friday at 11:20 in Oren Gateway 201. The abstract and title are below.
TITLE: Relaxing Under Stress: Developing a Generalized Material Model for Highly Compressed Lipid Monolayers
ABSTRACT: Lipid monolayers are membranes that self-assemble at the air-water interface and are found biologically in the ears, eyes, and lungs. Studying their responses to mechanical forces and stress can supply information to both the lipid and thin sheet fields. Mechanically, highly compressed lipid monolayers can be represented as elastic sheets. In this sense, at some critical stress, these sheets must undergo instabilities. Some do this through out-of-plane collapse, while others relax in-plane. This in-plane relaxation is experimentally observed with fluorescence microscopy (FM) and is characterized as reorganization of condensed domains within a softer matrix. These different modes of instability are accessible by tuning lipid monolayer softness, inspiring our search for a generalized material model with similar tunability. The elastic models that are currently used to describe out-of-plane collapse have been unsuccessful in capturing in-plane relaxation. We hypothesize this is because the matrix is relaxing through strain localization in the form of shear banding. Simulation results from models that incorporate FM-derived condensed domain morphology show that if we trigger shear banding in the matrix around domains, the domains can reorganize and reproduce the experimental in-plane relaxation morphology. Our findings expand understanding of lipid monolayer mechanical response and can be applied to broader research in other thin sheet systems as well.
