COLBY Vol. 107 Issue 334Debra Spark  (Creative Writing)And Then  Something Happened:  Essays on Fiction WritingEngine Books (2020) Award-winning writer Debra Spark follows up her successful first book on fiction writing with And Then Something Happened, a book of essays that digs into topics such as plot, humor, research, and scope. Designed for upperclass and graduate students—and readers in general—Spark imparts her wit and wisdom using examples, anecdotes, and analysis for anyone wishing to perfect the craft of writing or facing the dreaded blank page. Drawing on 25 years teaching at Colby, the book offers solid advice from someone who knows the joys and challenges of writing: Spark has authored five works of fiction and numerous stories.MEDIAGary Green (Art)When Midnight Comes AroundStanley/Barker (2020)Long before he was associate professor of art at Colby, Gary Green was a photographer’s assistant in New York City, where he spent his nights at Max’s Kansas City and CBGB documenting some of the most iconic musicians and figures. In a collection of photographs taken from 1976 to 1986, Green has captured the spirit of a time that challenged cultural and musical norms, stripping rock music to its rawest roots. His work preserves the spirit of the pioneering punk scene centered in Manhattan’s East Village, including evocative photos of Lou Reed, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith, and Joey Ramone, among others. Bretton White (Spanish)Staging Discomfort: Performance and Queerness in Contemporary Cuba University Press of Florida (2020) Even when governments crack down on citizens, artists find ways to express themselves, leading society to question the official line. The same holds true for Cuba after the 1959 Revolution. Taking readers to the island, White examines how queer bodies are represented in Cuban theater. She analyzes contemporary performances using queer theory and finds that through experimental performances of sexuality, connections occur between those on stage and off, triggering various feelings—discomfort, intimacy, frustration. These performances, she argues, not only challenge the state’s narrative but push the audience to consider Cuban identity in a different light.Ben Fallaw (Latin American Studies) and David Nugent, editorsState Formation in the  Liberal EraThe University of Arizona Press (2020) Focusing on the Latin American postcolonial period of 1850 to 1950, State Formation in the Liberal Era compares and contrasts the lopsided process of nation-making and economic development in Peru and Mexico. Fallaw and Nugent gathered noted historians and anthropologists to explore themes such as foreign banks, road building, and labor relations in the period between the dawn of the era of global liberal capitalism and the start of the Cold War. The United States’ influence in shaping Latin American history is revealed in this nuanced work that crosses geographic and disciplinary boundaries.COLBY |    colby.edu    |    facebook.com/colbycollege    |    twitter.com/colbycollege    |    instagram.com/colbycollege35MEDIAOsman Haneef ’05Blasphemy: The Trial of Danesh Masih Readomania (2020)An Ivy League-trained Pakistani lawyer, Sikander Ghaznavi has been living in Boston and not planning on—or even thinking of—going back to his home country. But after losing Ahbey, the woman who helped raise him, he begins questioning his life choices. And he decides to return to Pakistan.There awaits an unfinished love, and a blasphemy trial. While Sikander begins to find answers about his own past, he also faces a tough question that would shape a young boy’s future. Danesh Masih, a Pakistani Christian boy, is accused of blasphemy, potentially facing a death sentence. He and Sikander meet as Sikander wakes up from a nap. When he opens his eyes, he sees Danesh staring at him. “I’m here to wake you up,” says Danesh. From that point on, Sikander starts to experience an awakening about his past, his family, and his country.“Although all the characters and most events are fictional (or have been fictionalized), it is a deeply personal novel,” said Haneef about his debut, Blasphemy: The Trial of Danesh Masih. “At the same time, it does address broader themes around inclusivity, tolerance, individual responsibility, and the role of religion in society.”Read a Q&A with Haneef about his book at colby.edu/mag.Ellie Tomlinson ’62 Molly’s PalArchway Publishing (2019) Tomlinson continues her career as an artist-teacher-turned-children’s-book-author in this sweet chapter book. The storyline follows Molly, an elementary school girl navigating life in the midst of the confusing, ominous World War II era with the help of her loveable pup, Pal. With inviting images to start every chapter, readers follow Molly and her new dog as they take on the challenges of mean older brothers, making new friends, and crotchety neighbors. Pal’s stint working for the U.S. Army brings a patriotic tone reminiscent of the war years. It is an endearing tale that children can learn from, especially today.Gary Green (Art)The River is Moving/ The Blackbird Must Be FlyingL’Artiere (2020) Photographs made along a stream near Green’s Waterville home explore the reflections, shadows, and refractions on its surface. These meditations on nature also point to the Wallace Stevens poem “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,” from which the collection’s title is excerpted. “The poem evokes, among other themes, the idea that as nature we are all connected: the flora and fauna, the air above and the ground below,” Green writes. Andrew Monroe Rice ’96Ghosts of UrsinoBurnt Hill Publishing (2020) Dis family dat come from me. Sure be a wondur. Not how ya imajin it when ya come in da world a slave girl. So says grandmother Rosa in the opening page of Ghosts of Ursino, a novel based on the true story of Rice’s great-great-grandparents’ interracial marriage in 1872 on Davis Island, Miss. Rice traced his family’s genealogy as far as he could, then let his imagination take over to tell the story of a 20th-century American family searching for identity and contentment amidst a backdrop of a society overwhelmed and obsessed with race and wealth.COLBY Vol. 107 Issue 336FACULTY PUBLICATIONSMarta Ameri (Art), “Who Holds the Keys?

COLBY Vol. 107 Issue 32My friend Bob Zimmer, facing health challenges, announced he would step down as president of the University of Chicago next spring, concluding 15 years in that demanding role. He will move into a newly created role of chancellor, allowing the university to continue to draw on his deep well of talent and wisdom. I worked with Bob for 12 years (technically, I worked for him for most of those years, but he always made it feel like a partnership). In 2017 Bret Stephens, in his New York Times column, declared Bob Zimmer “America’s Best University President.” That’s a fitting title for someone whose list of accomplishments as president is staggering in scope and impact. His leadership has transformed the University of Chicago, and his contributions will be felt throughout the remainder of this century and beyond. I regularly implore our students to acknowledge and thank the individuals in their lives who made their journey possible—their families and teachers and anyone who lifted them when they stumbled, who put the wind at their back to help them go further. I must do the same. Bob Zimmer taught me lessons that guide me every day and for which I will be forever grateful. I will mention only four, even though the list is much longer still.1. Embody and elevate your institution’s values. It is hard to find a communication from Bob where he doesn’t describe Chicago’s distinctive intellectual culture, its commitment to freedom of expression and inquiry, and the rigor of its programs. Those are Chicago’s calling cards. When this pandemic hit, Colby’s leadership team gathered, and before we talked about what we needed to do, we discussed how

COLBY |    colby.edu    |    facebook.com/colbycollege    |    twitter.com/colbycollege    |    instagram.com/colbycollege11The semester that began like most others ended unlike any in Colby history.An ocean-leaping pandemic caused the abrupt shutdown of campus and scattered students, faculty, and staff. Teaching and learning, normally done face to face, shifted to Zoom and other platforms as faculty and students—displaced from Mayflower Hill by the virus—innovated, adjusted, and, to use a word overused in our time of the unimaginable becoming commonplace, pivoted.And then there was the seismic killing of George Floyd by police—preceded by Breonna Taylor, Stephon Clark, Botham Jean, Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and many other Black men and women. The world took to the streets, and in many cities—from Portland, Ore., to Minneapolis, Minn., to Kenosha, Wis.—the protests continue.Even before this latest tragic killing, we recognized the need to acknowledge our history as it relates to race and to address both systemic racism and progress that has been made through the courage of many.In fact, this issue of Colby Magazine was planned before these reality-shifting events. Staff Writer Kardelen Koldas ’15 had been reporting on her feature on the 50th anniversary of SOBLU (P. 26) for nearly a year, spending months tracking down alumni, visiting their homes, engaging in long conversations about race, Colby, and the world as they knew it. Photographer Edwin Torres ’12 did the same, reversing Koldas’s route as he made his way from New Jersey to Mayflower Hill.We did not expect that this story would be so tragically timely, that the reflections of SOBLU founders and former and present members would resonate in a very different way. Or that the story would underline the need for racial equality, respect, and understanding that has been unfulfilled for, not only the past 50 years, but centuries. In some ways, we’ve come a long way as a society since Black students occupied Lorimer Chapel in 1970, but we have such a long way to go.So this issue of Colby Magazine is in some ways a bridge connecting the reality of six months ago to today. The campus closed and now it has reopened. Students left en masse in a single weekend and now are back. A massive effort is underway to ensure the Class of 2020 gets jobs in the midst of the pandemic. Racial inequity was being studied and discussed, and now those discussions are elevated, with real awareness and progress as the goal. (P. 14)The threat of climate change looms, but alumni and faculty work on solutions. (P. 46) The upcoming election is a target for online interference. (P. 54) The arts are a way to give voice to those who most often are unheard. (P. 50)As this magazine goes to press, we already are considering the next issue. It’s my hope that it will report on progress as the Colby community, from Mayflower Hill to all parts of the globe, does what it always does: faces challenges straight on and continues the search for solutions.

Sara enjoyed keeping up to date on all things Colby: professors, programs, students, and alumni. True to her adventurous spirit, Sara wanted to go to college out of state and left the tropical climate of Hawaii to explore the far northeast corner of the United States. Without ever visiting the campus, she chose Colby based solely on its reputation as an excellent liberal arts college.Majoring in English literature, Sara had a lifelong passion for the written word, starting her career as an editor for Good Housekeeping and later as a much beloved teacher of English, journalism, and photography in high schools in Eureka, Calif., Bend, Ore., and Kamuela, Hawaii. During summer breaks, she wrote feature articles for the Bend Bulletin newspaper, often including her original photographs. In retirement, Sara’s passion for language expanded to include learning Italian and traveling to small towns in Italy. Sara also expressed her love of life through art: she became a juried watercolor artist, volunteered with the local art association, and helped restore the Rademacher House in Bend into an art gallery.Neither Parkinson’s nor Lewy Body Dementia could extinguish her love of the written word, and she continued to enjoy reading Colby Magazine as a resident of Windsong Memory Care community in Salem, Ore. As the dementia compromised her short-term memory, Sara’s long-term memory was still preserved, and she would tell stories of her classmates and adventures in Waterville and the surrounding areas. Colby classmates became lifelong friends, and she enjoyed learning about their lives by reading the magazine. Often highlighting and making notes in the margins, Sara would read the entire magazine cover to cover to ensure that she didn’t miss any tiny detail. Each issue gave her great joy. Our mother passed away May 8, 2020, at 84.Anne Bynon, Scottsdale, Ariz., and  Kate Speckman, Salem, Ore.One Plague Year Recalls Another Like most in my Colby Class of 1968, I graduated from high school in June 1964 and, to say the very least, was very apprehensive about what awaited me in Waterville.But before arriving on campus, Colby required us to read Hiroshima by John Hersey, Walden by Henry David Thoreau, and Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe. Undoubtedly, my classmates remember. All of these books and their teachings have stayed with me through all of these years, and through my varied careers, successes, and failures. However, over these many years, the Plague Year has remained in the forefront of my mind. As has been said many times, past is prescient, and I hope that Colby will be brave enough and smart enough to make the Plague Year required reading again as the past should never be allowed to outrun us. Thanks to my friend Thom Rippon ’68 for re-kindling these thoughts of very long ago and for helping me to reassemble them for this remembrance.Ted Sasso ’68 Saddle River, N.J.Depth and BreadthLike good French wine, Colby Magazine gets better and better with age.

COLBY Vol. 108 Issue 154Q&AIProvost Margaret McFadden discusses the new Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence and how the liberal arts can shape the future of AI.Following the announcement in January of a $30-million gift from the Davis family and trustee of its charitable foundation Andrew Davis ’85, LL.D. ’15 to establish the Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence, the first of its kind at a liberal arts college, Provost and Dean of Faculty Margaret McFadden sat down with Colby Magazine’s Laura Meader to better explain the institute and its developing academic program.   What do you hope the Davis Institute will accomplish at Colby?One of my colleagues said something that I thought was spot-on, which is that we want this institute to bring AI (artificial intelligence) to other fields across the curriculum and also want to bring other fields to AI.We’re thinking about how AI tools can advance faculty teaching and scholarship in really beneficial ways. We can help people build or learn to use these new tools that may allow them to ask and answer new kinds of research questions or teach in new ways. We want to make sure students have a strong grounding in this field that is transforming our society, as they work with faculty. And we’re thinking about the ways that access to AI tools, and understanding of all the social and ethical impacts of these tools, will enable students to be prepared to go out into the world to solve problems, to raise essential ethical and social questions, and to envision ways to use these tools to bring a more just and equitable world into being. And we hope that as we figure 55“all this out, we will be able to share our knowledge with faculty and students from other liberal arts colleges. How, then, do the liberal arts fit into this technology?What we have at Colby is expertise in all the different disciplines, in the breadth of the liberal arts. AI raises so many questions about what it means to be human. It also raises enormous social and ethical and philosophical questions, and many fields have a lot to say about the issues that surround the use of AI technologies. We want to be sure our students have the technological skills they need, but also that they are learning to think about technology in varied contexts, using the interdisciplinary critical thinking skills that come from a broad and deep liberal arts education.  So not only computer  scientists have a vested interest  in the institute?I just came off a call with the search committee for the founding director, and we had faculty committee members from English and philosophy and sociology and psychology and biology there with computer scientists. I think that’s really what’s exciting about this model—the diversity of places where AI could really be beneficial to research, teaching, and students’ education.  Can you give me an example?Megan Cook (associate professor of English) was talking about English professors and their interest in natural language processing, the ways computers work with language. But she also talked about the ways that people in many humanities disciplines, including English, are somewhere between wanting to adopt these tools … and being very concerned about the way AI has rolled out thus far. So it’s remarkable that in literary studies you can train a machine to read thousands of books that you couldn’t possibly ever read yourself. Imagine what we might learn from that. And then imagine doing that work at the same time you’re analyzing and critiquing those tools and making sure that your students understand both the uses and potential misuses of the tools in context. How would such a dataset be acquired?Yes, it’s a great question, and I think the institute is exactly the place to enable this kind of work. So maybe you’re a faculty member and what you need to do is come to the institute and learn how to use these tools of textual analysis. Or maybe what you need is the institute to help you acquire a dataset of all the texts you want to analyze with machine learning. Or maybe the institute is the place where you can come together with colleagues with similar or related  interests.  Together in what way?I will say the thing that was most remarkable to me, and it’s one of the things I love most about Colby, is every single person from the faculty who is talking about this initiative was excited about the possibilities of collaboration across disciplines. For example, Veronica Romero (assistant professor of psychology) works with children with Questions of ethics have got to be at the heart of this institute, in a really fundamental way. And I think if we build that at the center, we will build something spectacular. Because computer scientists care about that just as much as philosophers or  American studies professors or sociologists or biologists. Everybody has that in mind.COLBY Vol. 108 Issue 156autism. And she’s interested in the way children with autism speak. Could you use an AI tool to understand whether somebody had autism on the basis of the way they speak, as compared to other people who don’t have autism? So is there a place where Megan Cook’s interest in language and Vera Romero’s interest in language could come together in some productive and exciting way? Colby is known for collaborative work, but does this have potential as we’ve never seen before?Absolutely. It’s so exciting to think about the possibilities here because we’re building something completely new. We do have this culture of cross-disciplinary work and strong interdisciplinary programs that have built up over decades—it’s pretty much in the DNA of the place. But I also think we’re starting to imagine whole new ways that people can collaborate. What about students? I think we all understand that artificial intelligence is transforming every aspect of society, and often in ways that are completely invisible to us. So, I think it’s essential, if we’re going to provide an exceptional liberal arts education, that we make sure that our students understand this incredibly powerful and potent set of tools. And understand the field. Because they’re going to be people who are using these tools. They’re going to be people who are in leadership roles. They’re going to be people who are making decisions about how to solve problems.Does everybody need to be an engineer? No. But does everybody need to understand conceptually what’s going on and what its implications are? I think absolutely. So how and where will students encounter AI in their classes?My view is it will grow up organically, and it will emerge in the curriculum in ways that make sense. And it doesn’t necessarily need to be part of every single department or program. But we want to make sure that students, as they sample through the curriculum, encounter these topics, whether it’s an ethical or social or philosophical question, or making art with AI, or analyzing financial data with AI, or doing medical research with AI, or doing research on warming oceans with AI.  What will be clear is AI won’t just be in the places where it will be obvious—computer science and data science, statistics, mathematics, some of the more quantitative fields. I think AI will emerge as important in fields that are much more humanistic and qualitative as well.   As an American studies professor, how might you bring  AI into your classroom?My area of study is popular culture and media studies. My work has always had a focus on the impact of mass media on our culture. I think a lot, for example, about the ways that social media algorithms can have enormously powerful and terribly unjust impacts on different groups of people. Think of the obvious examples of racially biased algorithms, or the misuse of facial recognition software to surveil or police people, or deep fake videos that 57“misrepresent reality very convincingly. And there are important questions about privacy, about who owns or has access to data about us and what they are doing with it. I would want to engage students on all these questions and help them imagine how we might create alternative uses for these technologies that would help bring a more just, inclusive, and equitable world into being. Is there any unifying thread that ties all of these ideas, these scholars, together?Questions of ethics have got to be at the heart of this institute, in a really fundamental way. I’m so pleased to see that, in the conversations that I’ve been a part of with faculty, that is very much on people’s minds. And I think if we build that at the center, we will build something spectacular. Because computer scientists care about that just as much as philosophers or American studies professors or sociologists or biologists. Everybody has that in mind. That’s one common denominator of being human,  isn’t it?Yes. And here we are with an institute that’s going to be asking all these questions. What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to think? What is the difference between us and animals, the human and the artificial, the natural and the artificial? Those kinds of questions are going to be raised by the work done in this institute. By a lot of different people.With a lot of different perspectives. That gets to the question of who’s doing this work. Diverse teams are documented to be more effective than homogeneous teams. What I love about the way this is unfolding, is that the real collaborative spirit that I think animates so much of the work at Colby is at the heart of this, and that collaborative spirit is partly about getting a lot of different perspectives and voices in the room.  What’s it like being a nexus at such a transformative time for the College?It’s incredibly wonderful and exciting. The initiatives at the College right now that have huge energy—the arts, the Davis Institute, the Colby Labs, environmental humanities, and many others that are developing—are really transforming the experience of our students in profoundly important ways, and so much for the better. The faculty are doing such incredible work to build these programs, these structures. We already had an exceptional faculty providing an exceptional education. And so, these new initiatives are just building on areas of strength or opening up new areas of study that enable our faculty to keep growing, that enable our students to have opportunities that I think are going to be unmatched in many of our peer institutions.I’m just so proud to be part of that and so proud of our faculty for their creativity and brilliance and willingness to build something new. It’s really inspiring to see. For me, just to be able to be part of helping to create the conditions for that is actually a huge honor and privilege. And I just love doing it.What we have at Colby is expertise in all the different disciplines, in the breadth of the liberal arts. AI raises so many questions about what it means to be human.

COLBY |    colby.edu    |    facebook.com/colbycollege    |    twitter.com/colbycollege    |    instagram.com/colbycollege3FROM THE PRESIDENT David A. Greenewe wanted to approach the challenges—what Colby values we would draw upon to create a road map that would always direct us in ways that are true to our mission and culture. We started with a simple idea: do the right thing. By that we meant we would act with empathy, compassion, and a recognition that this crisis would affect people in a variety of ways. We wanted our decisions to reflect a clear sense of justice, integrity, and a commitment to our people and the common good. Carrying out our mission of excellence in undergraduate education begins with an acknowledgement of our interconnectedness and the ways in which that can support or detract from learning, growth, and discovery. 2. Believe in the possibility. Bob’s aspirations for his university know no bounds. He always imagines what’s possible—not what simply appears achievable—and he is not satisfied until he accomplishes it. He is demanding, creative, and tireless. The freedom that comes from releasing unnecessary constraints creates a culture of innovation and high expectations. As I have toured our new Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center and our downtown arts and hotel projects, and begun implementing our comprehensive plan for reopening this fall, it is apparent that Colby’s aspirations are also boundless. 3. Excellence is not desired, it is required. Bob has always been flexible and adaptable, but there are bright lines for him. The line that separates true excellence from simply being good enough is one of them. Excellence in academic institutions begins with people. Colby’s hallmark has long been a truly remarkable faculty—scholars of the first rank who are also teachers of unparalleled skill and commitment. That is more true today than ever. Our staff is dedicated, experienced, and with increasing frequency coming to Colby from the world’s great institutions. And our students, by any measure, are among the most qualified and deserving of any students in higher education. 4. Give talented people room to create and grow. I will be forever grateful to Bob for so many things, and one will be his ability to see things in me that I hadn’t recognized in myself. He pushed and challenged me, and when I met the challenge, he opened new opportunities for me to learn, take risks, and, ultimately, to achieve. One of my great privileges at Colby is working every day with enormously talented, driven individuals. As I push and challenge them, I hope they know it is because I see their greatness and I want it to shine even brighter. When it does, they will recognize in themselves what I see—that their leadership makes a difference and that their growth will lift Colby even higher. Bob Zimmer will always be known as the president who lifted the University of Chicago to new heights in the 21st century, but I find special pleasure in knowing that he will always be associated with Colby as well. One of my treasured honors was awarding him an honorary degree at my inauguration in 2014. Yet an even greater honor for me is having had the opportunity to learn from him and to have grown through our friendship. I am indebted to many people in my life, and Bob will always be right at the top of that list.
