Filmlandia Screening Series presents: Coraline (2009). Free and open to the public.
Directed by Henry Selick | 100 min. | Rated PG
Synopsis: Wandering her rambling old house in her boring new town, a young girl discovers a hidden door to a strangely idealized version of her life that seems too good to be true.
The Department of Cinema Studies and the University Film Society celebrate Oregon’s rich film heritage with a new screening series showcasing movies with a unique Oregon connection—from locally shot features to stories written or directed by Oregon filmmakers. Discover Oregon’s reel legacy on the big screen while connecting with the university film community.
Cosponsored by: Harlan J. Strauss Visiting Filmmaker Endowment; Department of Comparative Literature; Department of English; Department of Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies; Native American and Indigenous Studies; Folklore and Public Culture Program; Art House Theater; DUX Present; and Oregon Humanities Center’s Endowment for Public Outreach in the Arts, Sciences, and Humanities.
6:00 p.m.
Join the Department of History and Marc Carpenter, historian and UO alumnus, for a talk on "Finding Accidental Archives of Atrocity."
Prof. Carpenter describes how an undergraduate research project slowly led him into uncovering new troves of evidence proving broad norms and knowledge of often-genocidal pioneer violence in the 1800s Pacific Northwest. Archives assembled to honor the invaders accidentally preserved proof from the perpetrators—and from the historians who loved them and lied for them.
3:30–5:00 p.m.
The Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) is pleased to host a research colloquium featuring two CLLAS-funded scholars whose work examines how institutions shape Latiné experiences of equity, belonging, and representation across educational and workplace settings.
- Janette Avelar is a PhD candidate in Quantitative Research Methods in Education at the UO. Her research examines how innovative K–12 schools serving predominantly Latinx student populations design learning environments that center equity, cultural identity, and student belonging, particularly in the context of growing political pressures shaping educational policy and practice.
- Dr. Chanel Meyers is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the UO whose research explores how Latiné individuals evaluate corporate workplaces. Her work investigates how diversity signals, demographic representation, and organizational messaging influence perceptions of belonging, trust, and interest in potential workplaces.
Together, these scholars explore how institutional design choices in schools and organizations shape Latiné experiences of inclusion, representation, and opportunity. Please join us for this engaging discussion on equity across educational and workplace environments.
This event is presented by the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) with support from UO’s Division of Equity and Inclusion.

The Department Geography Colloquium Series Presents:
Justin S. Mankin, Associate Professor of Geography at Dartmouth College, "Documenting and Projecting the Human Costs of Climate Change"
"How does climate change affect people and the things they value? Drawing on examples from violent conflict, economic growth, and water resources, I highlight my group’s research to inform society’s management of climate risks, with implications for everything from drought monitoring to climate liability. Our work looks retrospectively, documenting and attributing the impacts that have already unfolded, and prospectively, helping to anticipate the ones to come. Across all of this work, I discuss our efforts to (1) meaningfully connect geophysical changes with human consequences, (2) quantify, attribute, and constrain uncertainty, especially given structural data inequities, and (3) inform model design and analysis choices to ensure that scientific answers about our present and future are sound, transparent, reproducible, useful, and just. Collectively, my research and that of my group demonstrates the importance of science that spans both fundamental and applied questions of climate impacts to inform adaptations and prepare society for a warmer world."
Mankin is an associate professor of geography at Dartmouth where he directs the Climate Modeling and Impacts Group. His previous career was as an intelligence officer working in South Asia and the Middle East. He holds degrees from Columbia (BA, MPA), the London School of Economics (MSc), and Stanford (PhD). He completed his training at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies as an Earth Institute Postdoctoral Fellow.

The Oregon Humanities Center presents poet Ada Limón.
At a time when social media and our societal structures demand our constant attention to the rigged algorithm, we’ve stopped paying attention to what really matters, the world around us. Using poetic examples and stories from real life, this talk is designed to allow us to remember that we are alive and to help us reconnect to what matters.
Ada Limón is the author of seven books of poetry, including Startlement: New & Selected Poems; The Hurting Kind, which was a finalist for the Griffin Prize; The Carrying, which won the National Books Critics Circle Award and was a finalist for the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award; and Bright Dead Things, which was named a finalist for the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Kingsley Tufts Award. Limón is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and was named a 2024 Time Magazine Woman of the Year. She is the author of two picture books, In Praise of Mystery as well as And, Too, The Fox, and was the editor of the anthology You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World. She served as the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States.
