Laidlaw Scholars at Cornell will share their summer research and leadership-in-action experiences through posters, oral presentations, and photo essays.

First-year scholars conducted research with faculty mentors on topics ranging from xenophobia to menstrual health to colonialism and the East India Company. Second-year scholars engaged with communities around the world, including Vietnam, Zambia, Fiji, Mexico, the UK, and more, working on community health, resiliency, human rights, and representation in the media.

The Laidlaw Undergraduate Leadership and Research Scholarship Program provides generous funding to first- and second-year undergraduates over two years as they pursue internationally focused research, engage in leadership training and a leadership-in-action experience, and join a global network of like-minded peers.

Learn more about the program, which is administered by the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies with leadership training support from the Einhorn Center for Community Engagement.

Al-An deSouza will present the third Migrations Visiting Artist Talk, “The Culture of Location,” in conjunction with their current exhibition at the Johnson Museum, Al-An deSouza: Elegies for Futures Past. The talk will be preceded by a curator-led walk-through of the exhibition at 4PM, open to all.

DeSouza will discuss the genre of landscape in relation to migration, settlement, and climate change. The title of their talk is a play on The Location of Culture by Homi Bhabha, now a classic of postcolonial theory. DeSouza’s transmedia practice explores the legacies of colonialism through strategies of humor, fabulation, and (mis)translation.

A conceptual photographer, performance artist, and writer, deSouza was born to South Asian parents in Nairobi, Kenya, and raised in England before settling in the United States. They are a professor in the Department of Art Practice at University of California, Berkeley, and hold an MFA from University of California, Los Angeles and a BFA from Bath Academy of Art, England. DeSouza is represented by Talwar Gallery, New York and New Delhi.

This is the third in a series of artist talks with the campus-wide Migrations Global Grand Challenge, part of Global Cornell, with support from the Mellon Foundation’s Just Futures Initiative.

Masks are suggested and social distancing will be encouraged in the Museum's wing lecture room. This event will also be available as a webinar. Please click this link to join (Passcode: 1234).
