Can We Realize the Promise of All Children Reading? A Conceptual Framework for Literacy Intervention in Action

2012-02-07T21:00:00Z

CGIS Knafel Building, Bowie-Vernon Room (K262), 1737 Cambridge St.
Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 4 – 5:30pm

Presenter:
Amy Jo Dowd
Senior Advisor for Education Research,
Save the Children, Department of Education and Child Development

A graduate of Stanford and HGSE, Amy Jo Dowd is passionate about using rigorous research to improve practice in international education and development. She heads the Save-University Partnership for Education Research (SUPER), a program that brings university-based researchers together with Save the Children and partner NGO field staff to collaborate on research projects of mutual interest. Over six years, this initiative has produced more than 50 studies whose evidence has strengthened advocacy and/or practice in 22 countries. In this presentation, Dr. Dowd will review both evidence that ignited the development of Literacy Boost and that which contributed to its shape. She will also show results that extend what we know about children’s reading development and pose new questions that this evidence-based system is raising.

Wednesday, February 8, 2012, 6 – 8:30pm

A discussion with Director Kevin McKiernan moderated by Anthony Saich will follow the screening. Refreshments provided.

"Bringing King to China" is about a young American woman struggling to bring Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of nonviolence to China, and then back to the United States. Believing in the universality of King's ideals, Caitrin McKiernan decides to produce a play in China about King, in collaboration with the National Theater of China. With the U.S. deeply embroiled in wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan, she not only wants to show that there is a different side to America, but also to use King's ideas on nonviolence to build a bridge between the U.S. and China.

Thursday, February 9, 2012, 4:15 – 5:45pm

Shanghai during the early years of the PRC underwent a socialist transformation at the directive of the Chinese Communist Party. Shanghai was faced with a rural-based revolutionary force that vowed to purge the city’s popular culture of all its bourgeois elements. Professor Jiang will reveal some of the implications of this clash by tracing the conflicts surrounding the production and consumption of the best-selling movies and plays of the period.

Is it possible to create a 'knowosphere' that enhances public communication about the global environment and fosters more constructive discussion about the future of this finite planet?

Writing the First Rough Draft of History: A Decade of Reporting from Inside Iran

2012-02-10T00:30:00Z

Science Center Hall A
Thursday, February 9, 2012, 7:30 – 8:30pm

Nazila Fathi is a journalist, translator and commentator on Iran. She reported out of Iran for nearly two decades until 2009 when she was forced to leave the country because of government threats against her. She has written for the New York Times, Time magazine, Agence FrancePresse, the New York Review of Books, Foreign Policy, Nieman Reports, and the online publication, openDemocracy. She has been a guest speaker on CNN, BBC, CBC, and NPR. A Nieman Fellow in 2010–11, she is currently a Shorenstein Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School.

Fathi will discuss covering Iran (her home country) for the outside world in The New York Times, which she did for ten years. She stayed through the elections and the protests, but in the end, targeted by police, under surveillance, and threatened with assassination if she continued reporting, she fled the country. She'll also address writing on deadline about events of global importance, writing cross-culturally, constructing news stories under personal and political pressure (what kind of stories became most important, how she chose to tell them, etc.), and working in her new role as a writer in exile.

Wild Swans is a world premiere stage adaptation of Jung Chang’s astonishing personal memoir and international bestseller. It takes us on a journey from the early days of Communist hope and struggle, through the chaos and confusion of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, to the birth of a superpower. The epic production uses original music, film, puppetry, and dynamic video design. The ensemble of British and American actors of Asian descent includes actress Katie Leung, best known as Harry Potter’s girlfriend Cho Chang in the film series, playing Er-Hong, the character based on Jung Chang. This gut-wrenching story of one family's struggle through ever changing political and social conditions raises questions about how far we are willing to go to protect our family and our principles. heck website for specific performance dates and times.

Acoustica Electronica

2012-02-12T02:00:00Z

OBERON
2 Arrow Street, Cambridge
Saturday, February 11, 2012, 9pm – 12am

AcousticaElectronica blends the virtuosity found in the classical concert hall with the infectious energy of the late-night dance club. The best of both worlds: artistic depth and irresistible appeal. It is sexy and classy, sensuous and stoic, irreverent and reverential. Bach meets a dance club back-beat, Chopin meets trance, Carmen’s habanera and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata are blended with house music for a listening experience unlike anything you have ever heard before. Live musicians perform with The WIG, a classically trained, New York based DJ. Professional dancers reinvent the typical "go-go" dancer, blending ballet, jazz, modern and improvised movement. Aerialists fly above the audience as if Cirque du Soleil met a rave. A classical world becomes the technicolor world of the dance club as the audience escapes from their real lives to experience a night of dream, abandon, and ecstasy...
