Wasserman Piano Series Presents: Sergei Babayan
Arts/Entertainment
The meditative focus and rare stillness of Armenian-American pianist Sergei Babayan's keyboard artistry prompted the Hamburger Abendblatt to liken him to "one of those Japanese calligraphers who contemplate the white page before them in silence until, at the exact right moment, their brush makes its instinctive, perfect sweep across the paper". Babayan himself has observed that making music should be open to surprises and spontaneous insights, allowing unexpected emotions to emerge and subtle shadings to evolve naturally. His program will include the following: *Franz Liszt | Ballade No.2 in B minor *Vladimir Ryabov | Fantasia in memory of Maria Yudina *Sergei Rachmaninov | Etude-Tableau in E-flat minor Op.39 No. 5, Etude-Tableau in C minor Op.39 No.1, Moment Musical in E-flat minor Op.16 No. 2, Moment Musical in C Major Op.16 No.6 *Schubert-Liszt | Der Muller und der Bach and Erlkonig *Franz Schubert | Sonata in G Major Op.78 D.894 or Schubert B-flat Sonata
History of Punctuation Poster Exhibition Celebrating National Punctuation Day

Sexism takes many forms, from blatant and aggressive to unintentional and subtle. Learning more about how it manifests can help each of us learn to respond in more productive ways whether we experienced it personally or are a bystander. Speaking up against sexism can be a powerful force for reducing gender inequity. By raising awareness of the widespread occurrence and damaging effects of sexist language, comments, beliefs, and behaviors, we can reduce the frequency of sexism in our workplaces, neighborhoods, communities, and the state.

Music Scholars Series: Dr. Trevor Reed
Arts/Entertainment
What is "our music"? As an institution in the intermountain West, USU is located in a
place associated with many different kinds of music. The decisions we make about
which of these we foreground have profound implications. What do our students
deserve to learn? Which faculty have the responsibility—or the right—to teach each
repertoire? And how, as a university, do we define the collective “us” we seek to serve?
Dr. Trevor Reed (Arizona Sate University Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law) is the
first visiting scholar on the series. Dr. Reed’s research broadly explores the social
impacts of intellectual property law on individuals and their communities. His current
scholarship focuses on the linkages between creative production and Native American
sovereignty. Dr. Reed is currently advancing community-partnered projects to assist
Indigenous peoples as they protect and promote their cultural heritage, traditional
knowledge, traditional cultural expressions, and other intellectual properties by
strategically drawing on tribal, federal, and international law.
