SUMMARY:The Sweet Science of Bruising
DESCRIPTION:London\, 1869. Four very different Victorian women are drawn into the dark underground world of female boxing by the eccentric Professor Sharp.

SUMMARY:Faculty Artist Series: Luther College Piano Quartet with Dawn Wohn\, violin
DESCRIPTION:The Luther College Piano Quartet will perform with violinist Dawn Wohn at 4:00 p.m. in the Noble Recital Hall. \nPraised as having “a joyful sense of freedom\, and a pure\, unencumbered tone” by BBC Music Magazine\, violinist Dawn Dongeun Wohn has performed in concert halls across five continents including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. She has appeared as a soloist for live-broadcast performances with orchestras such as the Korean Broadcasting Symphony and the Aspen Conducting Orchestra\, The New York Sinfonietta\, and Japan’s Telemann Ensemble. In addition\, she has performed recitals across the world including Carnegie Weill Hall\, Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center\, Merkin Hall\, and Jordan Hall. \nHer debut solo album Perspectives\, featuring works by female composers was featured by the New York Times\, Spotify and Apple Music and was chosen as one of WQXR’s best albums of the year. Her recent release\, Unbounded by Delos Music explores music by American women. Both albums have been featured on radio programs all over the world and have been noted for its “elegant and impassioned playing” (Classical Magazine)\, “warm\, crystal-clear tone” (Whole note Magazine)\, “stunning and panache” (IAWN) and “committed\, caring and lovely playing” (Fanfare). \nAs a musician with a wide range of styles and interests\, Dawn often performs with new music ensembles and as guest concertmaster for orchestras in venues as diverse as Carnegie Hall to Radio City Music Hall. Recent activities include a new commission by Jungsun Kang\, performances of Mark Phillip’s Violin Power for violin and interactive electronics\, and international tours with DJ Kid Koala and the Afiara Quartet as part of an interdisciplinary live show “Nufonia Must Fall”. As an active chamber musician\, Dawn has been invited to perform at festivals such as International Musician’s Seminar Prussia Cove in England\, The Banff Centre\, Music@Menlo\, and Aspen Music Festival. Notable collaborations include members of the Emerson\, Miami and Tokyo String Quartets\, as well as Colin Carr\, Jason Vieaux and Roberto Plano. \nDawn began her violin studies at age 4 and trained at The Juilliard School’s Pre-College Division as a full scholarship student of the renowned pedagogue Dorothy DeLay. Further studies include an undergraduate degree from The Juilliard School\, a Master of Music and Artist Diploma from Yale University\, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Stony Brook University where she studied with Philip Setzer of the Emerson Quartet\, Soovin Kim and Gilbert Kalish. \nCommitted to teaching the next generation of violinists\, she is currently on faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Mead Witter School of Music and teaches at Rocky Ridge Music Festival during the summers. Previously\, she held the position of Associate Professor of Violin at Ohio University’s School of Music as well as Associate Concertmaster of Harrisburg Symphony. As a guest artist she has presented and performed recitals at over 50 schools such as Oberlin\, New England Conservatory\, NYU\, Ithaca College\, Bowling Green State University and Kansas University. She has also been on faculty of festivals such as the Académie Anglicorde in France\, International Music Festival of the Adriatic in Italy\, and Festival de Febrero in Mexico. \nDawn performs on a 1732 Nicolo Gagliano violin and enjoys reading or spending time outdoors with her husband Jay\, son Jasper and dog Wolfie (named after Mozart) when she is not performing or teaching.

SUMMARY:Price Lecture: Leadership Institute for Indigenous and Afro-descendent Women from Latin America
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona hosts two highly select groups of Indigenous and Afro-descendent women between the ages of 18 and 24 from different Latin American countries for the Study of the United States Institute (SUSI)\, funded by the US Department of State. In this talk\, the director of the Institute\, Dr. Marcela Vásquez-León\, will reflect on her decade long experience mentoring these students. She will focus on how the program is a transformational site in which the participants envision and build a sense of intersectional feminism along the lines of what feminist Lelia Gonzalez has called amefricanidade (amefricanity)\, creating networks of solidarity that go beyond the program. At the same time\, challenges and contradictions arise given the ways in which the institute itself is situated in the larger geopolitics of U.S./Latin American relations.

SUMMARY:Senior Presentation: Crossing Borders: From Timor-Leste to a Post-Brexit World
DESCRIPTION:This presentation follows a personal and global journey from Timor-Leste to the United Kingdom\, exploring how one of the world’s youngest nations connects to one of Europe’s most defining political moments — Brexit. Through stories\, observations\, and research on immigration\, economics\, and identity\, Jose Eliano reflects on how Brexit affected Timorese communities living and working in the UK through Portuguese citizenship. The talk invites audiences to consider how global decisions can shape opportunities\, belonging\, and the movement of people — even in places as distant as Timor-Leste. \nOpen to students\, faculty\, and community members interested in global affairs\, migration\, and the experiences of Timorese people abroad. Sponsored by the International Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Guest Talk: Building Community and Spotting Chameleons - Experiencing rural Madagascar as a Peace Corps Volunteer
DESCRIPTION:Join Returned Peace Corps Volunteer and Luther alum Becca Buse ’19 for a talk encapsulating their experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Madagascar 2023-25\, followed by lunch in the Luther Cafeteria. \nMadagascar is the fourth largest island on earth and extremely biodiverse—famous for lemurs\, chameleons\, and baobab trees. Madagascar also faces poverty\, lack of infrastructure (11% paved roads)\, and inconsistent access to water and electricity. As a Peace Corps Volunteer\, Becca focused on three areas of community building: training local farmers to increase sustainable agriculture practices\, co-teaching mothers to improve nutrition\, and educating community members to protect the local Tapia forest environment. While all Peace Corps experiences abroad are unique to each volunteer\, Becca will also have time to answer general questions about applying to the peace corps\, different types of service\, and living abroad. Additionally\, Becca has been selected as a Rotary Peace Fellow and will begin a master’s in Peace and Conflict Studies (MPaC) at the University of Queensland\, Brisbane Australia in February of 2026. At the end of the talk you will get a chance to spot a chameleon. It isn’t as easy as you’d think! \n*People joining for lunch will need to pay for their own cafeteria entry.
