Media artist, John G. Rives, to present at Clarkson
SPECTRUM
Rives designs interactive narratives for grown-ups. Part poet, part storyteller, Rives offers audiences uniquely intelligent and creative entertainment—too impossible to categorize.
For his avid use of technology, he’s been called "the first 2.0 poet," incorporating images, video, and text—often of audience members or the venue itself—with tremendous ease and effect.
Flat pages can't contain Rives' storytelling, even when paper is his medium. He's a paper engineer and designer. The pop-up books he creates for children unfold with surprise: The Christmas Pop-Up Present expands to reveal moving parts, hidden areas and miniature booklets inside.
He has made multiple appearances at the TED Conference and has published several pop-up books for children. He co-hosted the television special 'Ironic Iconic America' with Tommy Hilfiger, discussing how pop culture has influenced American tastes and styles.
While English is his native language, he is also fluent in American Sign Language, Latin, Ancien…

SPECTRUM
John G. Rives is a performance poet, storyteller, and author and the 2004 National Poetry Slam winner. He has appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and on multiple seasons of HBO's Def Poetry Jam and was a member of the Def Poetry international tour group.
On stage, his poems burst in many directions, too, exposing multiple layers and unexpected treats: childhood memories, grown-up humor, notions of love and lust, of what is lost forever and of what's still out there waiting to unfold.
Some of his most well-known performances on Def Poetry Jam include a story about poetry in the deaf community, a description of his post-coital bliss, and the performance "Dirty Talk" about what people say during sex.
For information about the Poetry Jam contest where CU students can win cash prizes, contact spectrum@clarkson.edu.

“Polymers incorporating N-alkyl urea peptoids: Self-assembled aggregates, step-growth polymers and polymer conjugates”
Seminars
Professor Neil Ayres
Department of Chemistry
The University of Cincinnati
will speak on
“Polymers incorporating N-alkyl urea peptoids: Self-assembled aggregates, step-growth polymers and polymer conjugates.”
Abstract: N-alkyl urea peptoids are oligomeric biomimetic molecules that can be thought of as hybrids between oligoureas, N-acyl glycines (peptoids) and 2-γ peptides. By virtue of their iterative synthesis strategy a wide variety of functional side chains can be incorporated and the urea functionality facilitates hydrogen bonding leading to self-assembly properties. This presentation will detail the use of N-alkyl urea peptoids as functional oligomers for conjugation to controlled molecular weight polymers, as monomers for step growth polymerization leading to molecular brushes, and their ability to form self-assembled fibers. The controlled polymers are prepared using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, allowing the formation of block copolymers comprising…

Join Susan Stebbins, SUNY Potsdam Professor of Anthropology, as she discusses archaeological and ethnographic information about the Iroquois in the area, Ontario, and Quebec, their cultural traditions, and the impact of the Confederacy on the relations between the Iroquois and the establishment of the United States.

"American Uprising," author Dan Rasmussen to speak at Clarkson
SPECTRUM
American Uprising is the untold story of America’s largest slave revolt. American Uprising is the riveting and long-neglected story of this elaborate plot, the rebel army’s dramatic march on the city and its shocking conclusion. No North American slave revolt—not Gabriel Prosser, not Denmark Vesey, not Nat Turner—has rivaled the scale of this rebellion either in terms of the number of the slaves involved or in terms of the number who were killed.
Through groundbreaking original research, Daniel Rasmussen offers a window into the young expansionist country, illuminating the early history of New Orleans and providing new insight into the path to the Civil War, and the slave revolutionaries who fought and died while standing up against injustice. This book represents a significant contribution to African American history and the struggle for civil rights in this country.
At Harvard, Rasmussen focused on studying slavery and the American South. He won the History and Literature sophomore essay prize for hi…

For centuries, myths about left-handedness have abounded. Left-handers have often been viewed with suspicion, faced prejudice and discrimination -- the very word "left" in English derives from the
Anglo-Saxon "lyft" meaning "broken" or "weak".
