This history of hormones (endocrinology) is filled with daring medical sleuths, desperate parents and also, swindlers. There are doctors who have tinkered with hormones to devise life-saving therapies and shed light on the inner workings of our bodies. And yet, along the way, there have been hucksters exploiting the seeds of these discoveries to peddle quack cures touting all sorts of promises, including libido-boosters and anti-aging remedies. Randi Hutter Epstein, MD, MPH will separate the hype from hope and spotlight how discoveries and mishaps in the past shape our perceptions, our hopes, and our fears about hormones and hormone therapies today.

This event is sponsored by the Laura Kirchman Manuelidis '63 Science and Literary Arts Endowment Fund.

Social media is often portrayed as the enemy of writers-it steals our time, it loosens our thoughts, it clips our sentences. However, like any good enemy, we might benefit from bringing it closer, borrowing the very elements that make it so time-consuming in the first place. In this craft intensive, writers will study excerpts from recent fictions that explore how social media might appear in a variety of texts: as character development, defamiliarization, a formal experiment, a gateway to genre, and more. Generative craft exercises will show writers how to employ these same writing strategies in their prose. For better or worse, social media doesn’t appear to be going anywhere, and authors looking to capture the hectic nature of contemporary life can benefit from using elements of social media to texture and intensify their fiction.

The work of Linc Ross '87 revolves around the liminal spaces in which history, culture and abstraction meet. Their immersive photographs and videos explore the skin of the land, revealing textures of intimacy and spirituality. Over time, political realities emerge, inextricably bound to place. Ross made numerous bodies of work in the Uyghur region of far western China, creating an extensive portrait of handmade markers and earthen architecture at Sufi Holy sites in and around the Taklamakan desert. Due to a recent and extreme crackdown on religious and cultural practices, over a million Uyghurs disappeared and much of the vernacular and lived landscape that Ross’s work focused on was razed. As a result the artist has placed more attention on art and advocacy.

Ross has worked in China, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Europe, and North Africa, and their work has been exhibited internationally in museums and galleries. The artist has been a grantee of the Trust for Mutual Understanding and Asian Cultural Council; an Artist-in-Residence at The View Art Gallery, Gansu, the Watermill Center, New York, and the CICRP in Marseilles, France; a Fellow of the Bronx Museum AIM Program; and a recipient of the Hayward Prize through the American Austrian Foundation. Ross has also taught at Parsons School of Design, Columbia University, and The Harvey Milk School, where they developed a photography and video program for LGBTQ youth. Ross holds an MFA from Columbia University and a BA from Sarah Lawrence College.
