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.

Bringing King to China

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.

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.

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...

Theater
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.

How To Do Precisely the Right Thing at All Possible Times
Social Sciences
Most experts tell us what to decide but they don’t tell us how. So the moment we face a novel decision—should I move to Cleveland or Anchorage? Marry Jennifer or Joanne? Become an architect or a pastry chef?—we’re lost. Is it possible to do the right thing at all possible times? In fact, there is a simple method for making decisions that most people find easy to understand but impossible to follow. New research in psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics explains why.

Social Sciences
Asian politics has been driven by the “Asian economic miracles,” which resulted from the use of mobilization systems. These systems work only in relatively cohesive societies motivated by a high level of fear. When successful, they either decay into stagnant domination by bloated bureaucracies and reactionary interest groups or evolve into more competitive economies and polities. China faces a decisive choice between a milder version of Japanese decay and a reignition of reforms that could yield global leadership. These evolutions will determine power relations in Asia and much of the future of global politics.

Environmental Sciences
Followed by a reception.
Global change in the form of climate, land use and biodiversity change is underway in the Himalayas at an unprecedented rapid rate. The Himalayas are the most spectacular of the 34 global hotspots of biodiversity. With about 15 000 glaciers—the highest concentration in the world— these mountains are also the source of Asia’s eight largest rivers. More than 2.0 billion people inhabit the basins of these rivers. Thus global change in the Himalayas is likely to have serious consequences for almost one third of the humanity. In the first part of his talk, Kamal will present recent data from his group on climate and land use change in the Himalayas. In the second part, he will outline the constraints in maintaining multi-functional landscapes that could conserve ecosystem services and foster human wellbeing. In the third and final part, he will comment on the knowledge and institutions required to promote landscape resilience.

The Life of Super-Earths
Science
In 1543 Copernicus showed that our planet isn't the center of the universe. Centuries later, we know that just as Earth is not the center of things, the life on it is probably not unique either. Or is it? Tonight, learn how the search for "super-Earths" - rocky planets larger than our own that orbit other stars - may provide the key to answering essential questions about the origins of life here and elsewhere. You'll also hear how we face a moment of unprecedented potential - a convergence of pioneering efforts in astronomy and biology to peer into the unknown and determine how unique Earth life truly is.

Social Sciences
The death of Kim Jong Il and the ascension of Kim Jong Un to power in Pyongyang give the U.S. the best chance it probably will ever have to start afresh with North Korea. 2012 is a transitional year for every country involved in the Six-Party Talks. It provides an opportunity to prepare for 2013, when with a new president in Seoul, and, if President Obama is re-elected, progress can be made in establishing a real dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang, and re-establishing the Six Party Talks.
