The first event is a screening of the documentary Why We Dance on Monday, March 18th at Wexner Center at 4 pm. Engaging a range of scientists, artists and scholars ? including LaMothe ? this film explores the role that dancing plays in the evolution of the human species and the ongoing creation of human culture. A Q+A session will follow. This event is free, but tickets are required- follow this link for tickets. Dr. LaMothe?s research talk, ??Hard Times Require Furious Dancing?: Decolonizing the Study of Religion and Dance" is on Tuesday, March 19 at 4 pm in 198 Hagerty. Over five centuries, as representatives from European countries invaded Indigenous lands across five continents, the practice of Indigenous dancing emerged as a privileged site of both colonial repression and Indigenous resistance. Kimerer will outline this historical conflict and assess the implications for the study of religion, arguing that the task of overcoming the legacy of Euro-American colonialism will not be complete until scholars embrace ?dance" as a distinctive agent of religious experience and expression. For more information on these and other events, go to our webpage. Kimerer LaMothe, dancer, philosopher and scholar of religion, is keen on advancing the field of religion and dance. She is the author of six books, including Why We Dance (Columbia University Press), as well as numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. LaMothe earned her PhD in Christian Theology of the Modern West from Harvard University before teaching at Brown and then Harvard for six years. Recently, Kimerer wrote the book, lyrics and music for Nietzsche, a full-length musical based on the life and legacy of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and his sister Elisabeth.

With my very best wishes, Mirjam Mencej, on behalf of the EC of the ISFNR Abstract: ?Multispecies Fairy-Tale Library,? which I have started recently, is a project whose aim is to rethink human beings? relationship with other species through a reclassification of tale types. Instead of separating Animal Tales from the rest of the folktales as the ATU index does, this project proposes to create a new category Multispecies Tales in which more than two species, including humans, play important roles in the development of narrative and to classify them into six groups according to the kinds of relations between characters belonging to different species. This new classification is only tentative, and I intend to develop this idea by using different methods. One of them is to organise a series of Multispecies Fairy-Tale Library exhibitions and workshops to discuss multispecies fairy tales with people with various social and cultural backgrounds. In this talk, I will give an outline of my plan to hold a picturebook exhibition and a workshop at a public library in rural Japan in March 2024. It will be my first attempt at holding such an exhibition, and I would very much appreciate your comments and suggestions for this project! Bio: Mayako Murai is professor of English and comparative literature at Kanagawa University, Japan. She is the author of From Dog Bridegroom to Wolf Girl: Contemporary Japanese Fairy-Tale Adaptations in Conversation with the West and co-editor of Re-Orienting the Fairy Tale: Contemporary Adaptations across Cultures, both published by Wayne State University Press. She curated the exhibitions Fur Story at Leeds Arts University and Storymakers in Contemporary Japanese Art at Japan Foundation Sydney Gallery. She is currently writing a book on fairy-tale animals in contemporary art and picturebook illustration.

Lowthorp?s talk will address the rise of direct-to-consumer genetic ancestry testing and the genetic ancestry ?reveal? on YouTube. Lowthorp?s study seeks to understand such performances in relation to [1] the authority performers grant test results to inform racial and/or ethnic identities, [2] how performers establish hierarchies of knowledge when family folklore and genetic test results collide, and [3] what these performances reveal about conceptions of genetic determinism today. This truly interdisciplinary panel will also feature discussion from two experts in genetics: biological anthropologist Jonathan Marks (UNC Charlotte), who is author of the book Is Science Racist? (Polity, 2017) and molecular anthropologist Theodore Schurr (University of Pennsylvania), whose forthcoming book is titled, The Peopling of the Caucasus: Early Human Settlement at the Crossroads of Continents (Cambridge, forthcoming 2024).
