Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight An Evening with Alexandra Fuller A Visions and Voices Signature Event
Tue, Mar 11, 2014 @ 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM

University Calendar

Join us for a powerful and intimate exploration of war, family, love and death with acclaimed author Alexandra Fuller, who has documented her childhood in Rhodesia during a time of intense struggle for independence. Her debut book, Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood, which is featured on President Nikias's 2013 summer reading list, was a New York Times Notable Book, a finalist for the Guardian's First Book Award and winner of a Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize. "War was like an episode of awful, non-stop weather to us" Fuller has said. Her four non-fiction books, at once anti-war stories and love stories, are rooted in the belief that "everything we do is political, from the decision we make to wake up in the morning, to the clothes we put on our bodies, to the words we have the courage to speak."Â Fuller's other books include Scribbling the Cat: Travels with an African Soldier, winner of the Lettre Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage; The Legend of Colton H. Bryant; and Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness.Location: Town & Gown (TGF) -

Truth Values: One Girl's Romp Through M.I.T’s Male Math Maze Written and Performed by Gioia De Cari, Directed by Miriam Eusebio

Nonbinary algorithms and sexism collide in Truth Values: One Girl’s Romp Through M.I.T.’s Male Math Maze, a painfully funny show about navigating the elite boys’ club of higher mathematics. In 2005, Lawrence Summers, then president of Harvard University, suggested that women are less represented than men in the sciences because of innate gender differences. Truth Values is one woman’s brilliantâand entertainingâresponse. Writer/performer and “recovering mathematician” Gioia De Cari brings to life more than 30 characters in a true tale that offers a humorous, scathing, insightful and ultimately uplifting look at the challenges of being a professional woman in a male-dominated field. Truth Values won the award for Outstanding Solo Show at the New York International Fringe Festival.Location: Ronald Tutor Campus Center (TCC) - Grand Ballroom
