University Theatre Auditions:
Phantom Tollbooth November 3, 4, 10, 11, 12*, 16, 17, 18, 19* Play adaptation by Susan Nanus, based on the book The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. Directed by Tricia Rodley
Milo travels to Lands Beyond after he finds a tollbooth and map in his room one day. The journey defies expectations and doldrums to reveal adventures in Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. It even inspires a quest to bring back Rhyme and Reason so that balance may be restored in the use of words and numbers. This stage version of the book by Norton Juster encourages us to imagine what we don’t know and risk new answers, even when faced with the same “boring” questions. Ages 10+ recommended.
Phantom Tollbooth Auditions – Saturday, September 30 from 1:00-5:00 pm at the Hope Theatre. Sign up here: University Theatre – Audition Basics: The Phantom Tollbooth

Please join us for the Knight Campus 2023 fall Entrepreneurship Speaker Series, featuring Jorge Cham.
In his lecture, Jorge Cham will recount his experiences bringing humor into the lives of millions of stressed out academics and tells stories from his travels to over 300 universities and research centers in the US and across the world. Thought-provoking yet humorous, Jorge Cham's talk will examine the source of academics' anxieties, explore the myth of procrastination, and help academics figure out how to convey what they've learned to the outside world.
Jorge Cham is the best-selling and Emmy-nominated creator of PHD Comics, the popular ongoing comic strip about life (or the lack thereof) in academia. He is the co-creator and co-executive producer of the celebrated animated series Elinor Wonders Why, which airs on PBS Kids and in 78 countries around the world. He is the co-author of the award-winning book We Have No Idea (and its follow-up FAQ-U), and the co-host of the iHeart Radio show Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe. He is also the co-founder of PHDtv, a video science and discovery outreach collaborative, and the author of the upcoming books Oliver's Great Big Universe and Out of Your Mind. Jorge earned his PhD in robotics from Stanford University and was an instructor and research associate at Caltech from 2003-2005. He is originally from Panama.

Lecture by Jackson Smith (University of Oregon)
During the 1980s Philadelphia police officers dubbed the Black and Latinx neighborhoods of North Philadelphia where the illicit narcotics trade concentrated “The Badlands.” This geologic term naturalized the decline of these neighborhoods, obscuring the political-economic forces that gave rise to the drug economy. In this talk I interrogate the making of the Badlands, both through decades of racialized disinvestment in these neighborhoods and through a popular discourse that sought to make sense of the consequences. I show how the Badlands discourse shaped municipal approaches to the problem of disinvestment, legitimizing police interventions that increasingly focused on the specter of the “crack house” and culminated with the demolition of entire blocks of rowhouses during the early 1990s.
The Department of History’s Seminar Series runs throughout the academic year and features guest speakers from the nation’s top universities who share their perspectives on history. Visit history.uoregon.edu for more information about this event and others in the series.
