Hagey Hall of the Humanities 200 University Avenue West Room 117 Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada SUMMARY:History Speakers Series presents: Sashar Zarif CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:SASHAR ZARIF\n\nFROM STORY TO STATE: EMBODIED LISTENING IN AN A GE OF NOISE\n\nThis talk explores story as a lived condition rather than a narrative\nform\, and artistic practice as a way of remaining aligned wit h life\nitself. Drawing inspiration from ancestral and traditional ways of \nknowing—where listening\, attention\, and continuity are central—it\ nreflects on how stories are encountered\, embodied\, and lived\,\nparticu larly in contexts shaped by movement\, transition\, and\nmigration. The ta lk considers listening as a foundational condition\nfor understanding expe rience\, meaning\, and action in an age of\nconstant noise.\n\nSHORT BIO\n \nSashar Zarif is a transdisciplinary artist–scholar originally from\nAz erbaijan whose practice explores embodied listening\, movement\, and\nlive d experience. He is the founder of Living Stories\, an approach\nthat brin gs together movement\, sound\, and attentive presence as ways\nof staying close to life as it unfolds. His work spans creation\,\nperformance\, rese arch\, education\, and mentorship\, shaped by more than\nthree decades of practice across more than forty countries. He is the\nrecipient of the 202 5 Selma Jeanne Cohen Dance Lecture Award presented\nby the Fulbright Assoc iation.

Doors open at 5 PM with opening remarks starting\nat 5:45 PM. Dr. Rebecca MacAlpine\, a History D epartment alumna\, will\nbe this year’s guest speaker. Dr. Rebecca MacAl pine's talk is\ntitled: Shaming and Blaming: The Process of Proving Patern ity in\nSeventeenth Century Somerset.\n\nOver the course of the seventeent h century\, 1298 women came before the\nSomerset Quarter Sessions to secur e financial resources for the upkeep\nof their unborn children. In these r ecords\, we find marginalized\nvoices of women silenced first by their exp eriences with the alleged\nfathers of their children and then by the court s whose objective was\nto avoid economic responsibility under the new Poor Laws of 1576. As a\nresult\, this process ensured that women’s voices w ere present but\nultimately silenced. This talk will explore how we can us e Quarter\nSession records to uncover the lived experiences of unwed mothe rs in\nearly modern Somerset. It will highlight how the procedural mechani sms\nembedded in the Sessions further victimized unwed mothers and\nrepres ents a form of institutionalized gender-based violence.\n\nTickets for stu dents are priced at $25 and non-student tickets are\n$35.

Hagey Hall of the Humanities 200 University Avenue West Room 117 Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada SUMMARY:HIV/AIDS Activism in Africa: Historical Perspectives and Current\nC hallenges CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Idah Mukuka Nambeya – an internationally-recog nized\nHIV/AIDS activist from Zambia – reflects on the history of Africa n\nHIV/AIDS activism and the current challenges facing community\norganiza tions due to the recent USAID freeze. During the 2000s\, many\ngrassroots organizations relied heavily on USAID to fund their\nprograms and initiati ves aimed at combating the AIDS epidemic. The\nPresident's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)\, launched in 2004\,\nwas a major source of fundi ng and support for these organizations.\n\nHowever\, the recent freeze on USAID has created a challenging\nenvironment for these organizations. Many have had to halt their\nactivities and programs due to a lack of funding. This has had a\ndirect impact on the communities they serve\, as access t o essential\nservices such as HIV testing\, treatment\, and prevention has been\ndisrupted.\n\nIn Zambia\, grassroots organizations have played a cr ucial role in\nraising awareness about HIV/AIDS\, providing education and support to\naffected individuals\, and advocating for policy changes. The USAID\nfreeze has put these efforts at risk\, making it more difficult for \nthese organizations to continue their work and support the communities\n that rely on them.
