A Gift In Motion loosely draws from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book The Serviceberry which uplifts Indigenous frameworks of the natural world to advance the possibilities in collectivity, reciprocity, and the mindset of abundance. These are anti-capitalist models and theories that provide insight into the systems of power we negotiate, but also offer a lens on how we individually move through our daily lives—together—through historically fraught landscapes. A keen reminder that working with, for, and because of each other remains the most human motivation, even while we are inundated with narratives that suggest otherwise.

Within the walls of the academy, frameworks of artistic and creative knowledge are often dismissed, as are Indigenous methodologies and community-focused perspectives that center human engagement, oral and craft-based practices, and unquantifiable research. A personal experience. A feeling. Abstraction. And yet, for centuries, within the walls of art schools exist myriad economies of imagination that are anchored in the sharing of diverse creative knowledge and articulated in what we make, write, perform, dance, build, conserve, collect, display, speak, and think. We do this all—in small and grand gestures, every day— in service of learning with and for each other in the crafting of the world we wish to see. Perhaps we are articulating the world we already see, even if no one else will.

This showcase brings together the creative, academic, and applied research of the full- and part-time faculty and staff from all seven programs that make up the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design. We—students, staff, and faculty—thrive in the abundance nurtured here, despite the outside world. In a moment when delight and despair are offered in the same breath, we continue to serve as each other’s audiences, toughest critics, and loudest cheerleaders. We ask difficult and sometimes scary questions about our lived experiences, and by default of each other, turning our questions into form and voice and movement again, and again.

This place is a harbor for the gift of imagination and critical thinking that is the act of creating the world we wish to see, together. To give. To live—in motion.

Contributors are faculty and staff of the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design: Elise Adamson, Clement Akpang, Isaiah Aladejobi, Suse Anderson, Stephen Arnold, Becca Balton, Kara Braciale, Joe Bradley, Travis Xavier Brown, Malik Burnett, Michele Carlson, Mary Coughlin, Douglas Crawford, Andrea Dietz, Alex Donahue, Brendan Drake, Alessandra Echeverri, Joey Enriquez, Ben Harvey, Maren Henson, Wes Holloway, James Huckenpahler, Kamille Jackson, Kaitlin Jencso, Daniel Jonas, Scott Jones, Sharmila Karamchandani, Dean Kessmann, Anna Jayne Kimmel, Taylor Knight, Kirk Kristlibas, Kevin Kwon, Alma Laprida, Jung-Sil Lee, Kerry McAleer-Keeler, Melina Misri, Eugene Montague, Dumisani Ndlovu, Bibiana Obler, Em Petro, Davide Prete, Ryan Rakhshan, Nidhi Singh Rathore, Astrid Riecken, Siobhan Rigg, Kiara Rivera, Laura Schiavo, Sam Shelton, Alexandra Silverthorne, Jihyun Song, Heather Stebbins, Susan Sterner, Benjamin C Tankersley, Anna Thompson, John Traub, Maurice Tyree, Bella Varela, Paloma Vianey, Jamille Wallick, and Ning Yu.

Children, Trauma, and the Work of Recovery

From the Holocaust to October 7

New scholarship. New perspectives. Three conversations.

Join us for the first program:

From the Holocaust to October 7: Exploring child rehabilitation across historical contexts

Sunday, October 11, 2026

2 PM EST

Opening Remarks:
Yigal Cohen, CEO, Ghetto Fighters’ House

Guest Editors:
Dr. Verena Buser
Associate Researcher Holocaust Studies Program/Western Galilee College
Dr. Boaz Cohen
Head, Holocaust Studies Program, Western Galilee College

Guest Speaker:
Rotem Semo Bareket, B.Arch
Architect and Head of Planning, Kindergartens for Life
Brothers and Sisters for Israel

The first program in this Talking Memory series will mark the anniversary of the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel through a scholarly discussion of child rehabilitation, trauma, and recovery in the aftermath of mass violence. The publication of Child Rehabilitation from the Holocaust to October 7 provides the point of departure for the conversation, but the event is not intended as a traditional book launch. Instead, it will use the volume as a framework for examining broader questions about the care, rehabilitation, and resilience of children across different historical contexts.

Dr. Verena Buser will examine what the rehabilitation of children after the Holocaust can teach us about understanding the impact of war, genocide, and mass violence on children today, including those affected by October 7.

Dr. Boaz Cohen will turn to the experience of approximately 8,000 Holocaust-survivor children detained in the Cyprus camps in 1946–48, exploring the efforts of educators and fellow survivors to help them rebuild trust, resilience, and hope under difficult conditions.

Bringing the discussion into the present, Rotem Bareket will describe the development of Kindergartens for Life, from an emergency response providing safe spaces for children displaced after October 7 to a long-term initiative using architecture, education, and community to restore safety, continuity, belonging, and hope.

Register here:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/2bWcYuW2T4yUP9ri7MNqMQ

This series is in partnership with Brothers and Sisters for Israel, Edut 710, Remember the Women Institute, Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University, and Classrooms Without Borders.

The Allied invasion of occupied Normandy, France in June 1944 constituted a decisive turning point in the Second World War. Unprecedented levels of planning and international cooperation, along with the considerable sacrifices of countless numbers of soldiers, made an uncertain success possible. At stake, many rightly believed, were the freedoms of the Allied nations and the fate of the non-fascist world. This course will use the “Great Crusade” to explore two interrelated issues. The first is Operation Overlord itself – how the Allies planned and executed the greatest amphibious operation in history. Please note: The course is not strictly one centered on military history, although that is clearly one of its subjects. The second and equally dominant issue is the concept of “the price of freedom” that many, if not all, officers and soldiers fought for in Normandy in particular and in Europe in general. What, precisely, did freedom mean?

Among the subjects to be explored are the origins and character of World War II in Europe; the wartime French experience; the challenges of opening an Allied “second front” in Europe; the planning process of the invasion; the D-Day invasion itself; the “collateral damage” inflicted on civilian populations; race and the U.S. military; the American home front experience; and the “meanings of freedom” advanced by different sectors of the American population, among other things.

You can learn more about Professor Eric Arnesen's program by joining an info session and bookmarking the application today! Applications are due by 10/18. Students are encouraged to sign up to receive a calendar invitation and virtual link.

As part of the For Freedoms residency with the National Gallery of Art and the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design, visiting artist Cannupa Hanska Luger invites the D.C. community to make beads representing over 500,000 living bison in the form of 36 life-size sculptures. The Bison Bead Project stems from Luger’s Counting Coup social engagement series, which engages collective making to build large-scale collaborations that lend humanity to abstract data and connect us in the process. Corcoran students are hosting bead making workshops to help contribute to this massive project.

Instead of the expected convergence of interests, what emerged was a series of surprising disagreements. In this talk, Professor Aviv will present some of the recent findings on meditative attainments, explain concerns raised by Buddhist Studies scholars, and suggest possible paths forward.

Doors will open no sooner than 15 minutes before the event start time. Free lunch will be provided to people that RSVP.

Speakers

Amanda Elyse is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Legal Analysis, Research, and Writing program at the University of Washington School of Law. She previously taught legal writing and lawyering skills courses at Seattle University School of Law and Elon University School of Law, as well as courses on media skills, movement lawyering, and animal law. While in practice, Elyse represented grassroots activists in both civil and criminal cases and provided on-the-ground legal support to frontline communities. She has also organized grassroots campaigns and engaged in policy work for animal protection issues and been invited to present about grassroots advocacy at events throughout the U.S. and Europe. Elyse now regularly presents at conferences and writes articles about reimagining aspects of teaching lawyering skills to create inclusive, dynamic classrooms and further social justice lawyering.

A Gift In Motion loosely draws from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book The Serviceberry which uplifts Indigenous frameworks of the natural world to advance the possibilities in collectivity, reciprocity, and the mindset of abundance. These are anti-capitalist models and theories that provide insight into the systems of power we negotiate, but also offer a lens on how we individually move through our daily lives—together—through historically fraught landscapes. A keen reminder that working with, for, and because of each other remains the most human motivation, even while we are inundated with narratives that suggest otherwise.

Within the walls of the academy, frameworks of artistic and creative knowledge are often dismissed, as are Indigenous methodologies and community-focused perspectives that center human engagement, oral and craft-based practices, and unquantifiable research. A personal experience. A feeling. Abstraction. And yet, for centuries, within the walls of art schools exist myriad economies of imagination that are anchored in the sharing of diverse creative knowledge and articulated in what we make, write, perform, dance, build, conserve, collect, display, speak, and think. We do this all—in small and grand gestures, every day— in service of learning with and for each other in the crafting of the world we wish to see. Perhaps we are articulating the world we already see, even if no one else will.

This showcase brings together the creative, academic, and applied research of the full- and part-time faculty and staff from all seven programs that make up the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design. We—students, staff, and faculty—thrive in the abundance nurtured here, despite the outside world. In a moment when delight and despair are offered in the same breath, we continue to serve as each other’s audiences, toughest critics, and loudest cheerleaders. We ask difficult and sometimes scary questions about our lived experiences, and by default of each other, turning our questions into form and voice and movement again, and again.

This place is a harbor for the gift of imagination and critical thinking that is the act of creating the world we wish to see, together. To give. To live—in motion.

Contributors are faculty and staff of the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design: Elise Adamson, Clement Akpang, Isaiah Aladejobi, Suse Anderson, Stephen Arnold, Becca Balton, Kara Braciale, Joe Bradley, Travis Xavier Brown, Malik Burnett, Michele Carlson, Mary Coughlin, Douglas Crawford, Andrea Dietz, Alex Donahue, Brendan Drake, Alessandra Echeverri, Joey Enriquez, Ben Harvey, Maren Henson, Wes Holloway, James Huckenpahler, Kamille Jackson, Kaitlin Jencso, Daniel Jonas, Scott Jones, Sharmila Karamchandani, Dean Kessmann, Anna Jayne Kimmel, Taylor Knight, Kirk Kristlibas, Kevin Kwon, Alma Laprida, Jung-Sil Lee, Kerry McAleer-Keeler, Melina Misri, Eugene Montague, Dumisani Ndlovu, Bibiana Obler, Em Petro, Davide Prete, Ryan Rakhshan, Nidhi Singh Rathore, Astrid Riecken, Siobhan Rigg, Kiara Rivera, Laura Schiavo, Sam Shelton, Alexandra Silverthorne, Jihyun Song, Heather Stebbins, Susan Sterner, Benjamin C Tankersley, Anna Thompson, John Traub, Maurice Tyree, Bella Varela, Paloma Vianey, Jamille Wallick, and Ning Yu.

In 1975, Kuwaiti workers orchestrated arguably the most powerful citizen-led movement for noncitizen rights in the history of the Persian Gulf. Their efforts built on decades of wide-ranging struggle over the meanings and outlines of citizenship. During the twentieth century, anti-colonial nationalists, pro-democracy reformers, feminists, and labor organizers joined forces to fight for a more equitable citizenship regime. In so doing, they won a remarkable series of victories: political independence, constitutional rights, and oil nationalization, reshaping not just Kuwait, but the global petroleum order.

Comrades Estranged reframes the history of labor activism, citizenship, and decolonization in Persian Gulf by centering the history of social movements—especially organized labor. Alex Boodrookas traces how workers and their allies shaped the world-historic transformations witnessed across the region: the consolidation of British sovereignty, formation of autocratic states, inrush of hydrocarbon wealth, onset of decolonization, and rise of both mass migration and mass politics. But unions failed to incorporate noncitizens into their movement, and as Boodrookas argues, this fatally undermined the movements' strength. The contradictions of nationalist and internationalist visions proved insurmountable. Comrades Estranged thus sheds light on both the power, and the limits, of citizenship and the nation-state as the framework for political action.

We hope you will join the Institute for Middle East Studies, Professor Alex Boodrookas, and discussant Professor Attiya Ahmad, for this conversation about labor relations and citizenship in the twentieth century Persian Gulf region. All are welcome to attend this event in-person or online.

Speakers:

Alex Boodrookas, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of History at Metropolitan State University of Denver. He teaches World History since 1500, Modern Middle East and History of Islam. His areas of expertise are in labor, migration, politics and the Persian Gulf. Boodrookas’ teaching interest involve how ordinary people and mass popular movements have transformed global politics, the economy, everyday life and ideas of justice, equality and morality. He has had the opportunity to present at numerous conferences such as the Middle Eastern Studies Association Conference, the Eurasian Connections Conference and the Gulf Studies Symposium. Additionally, he is currently working on a book that compasses citizenship and political protest in the Persian Gulf, with a focus on Kuwait. Boodrookas received his Ph.D. in History and Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and his master’s in Near Eastern Studies from New York University. He received his bachelor’s in History and American Studies from George Washington University.

Dr. Attiya Ahmad is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs. Broadly conceived, her research focuses on the gendered interrelation of Islamic reform movements and political economic processes spanning the Middle East and South Asia, in particular the greater Arabian Peninsula/Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean regions. Dr. Ahmad is currently examining the development of global halal tourism networks.

Join the Department of Statistics for a seminar featuring Debashis Mondal, associate professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Washington University in St. Louis.

Abstract:

In this talk I develop a mathematical and statistical framework for analyzing spatial systems on irregularly distributed point locations. Using conditional formulations, this framework constructs Gaussian systems on spatial networks with symmetric weights for both stationary and non-stationary point processes. The framework associates these systems with reversible Markov chains and, through Kipnis--Varadhan invariance principles, establishes geostatistical scaling limits that recover the de Wijs process or Gaussian free field under stationary sampling and generalize to more complex limits under inhomogeneous sampling. The framework further studies convergence through Beurling--Deny decomposition, the effects of non-uniform sampling on limiting fields, and normalization procedures based on Hungarian embeddings, Sinkhorn normalization, and density correction for restoring canonical limits. It also enables scalable matrix-free computation, REML estimation, conditional simulation, spatial prediction, and sampling-invariant inference on large irregular spatial networks, for which there is currently little parallel in the geostatistical literature. The talk concludes with applications to mapping soil organic carbon in Tanzania, reconstructing global seawater oxygen isotope fields, and analyzing leukemia survival data from northwest England.

This seminar presents joint work with postdoctoral scholar Subhrajyoty Roy.

About the Speaker:

Debashis Mondal is an associate professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Washington University in St. Louis. Previously, he was a faculty member at Oregon State University and the University of Chicago. He earned his Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Washington. His research spans spatial statistics, computational science, and machine learning, with applications in agronomy, ecology, biodiversity, environmental and climate sciences, sports analytics, crime and police response, and digital humanities. He has received the NSF CAREER Award and the Young Researcher and a Service Awards from the International Indian Statistical Association and is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute.

This year’s HMS Colloquium will examine two components: first, K-beauty as setting new standards of beauty that prioritize skin health, innovative skincare products, holistic beauty philosophies, personalization, and inclusivity, challenging traditional Western ideals; and second, K-beauty as affecting global consumption patterns such as economic factors through trade policies, marketing strategies, and social media trends. K-Beauty has rapidly transformed the global beauty landscape–from consumer behavior, cosmetic surgery, to a multi-billion dollar global industry. K-beauty serves as a pivotal case study of how cultural exports can redefine beauty norms and drive economic growth in the competitive global marketplace.

A Gift In Motion loosely draws from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book The Serviceberry which uplifts Indigenous frameworks of the natural world to advance the possibilities in collectivity, reciprocity, and the mindset of abundance. These are anti-capitalist models and theories that provide insight into the systems of power we negotiate, but also offer a lens on how we individually move through our daily lives—together—through historically fraught landscapes. A keen reminder that working with, for, and because of each other remains the most human motivation, even while we are inundated with narratives that suggest otherwise.

Within the walls of the academy, frameworks of artistic and creative knowledge are often dismissed, as are Indigenous methodologies and community-focused perspectives that center human engagement, oral and craft-based practices, and unquantifiable research. A personal experience. A feeling. Abstraction. And yet, for centuries, within the walls of art schools exist myriad economies of imagination that are anchored in the sharing of diverse creative knowledge and articulated in what we make, write, perform, dance, build, conserve, collect, display, speak, and think. We do this all—in small and grand gestures, every day— in service of learning with and for each other in the crafting of the world we wish to see. Perhaps we are articulating the world we already see, even if no one else will.

This showcase brings together the creative, academic, and applied research of the full- and part-time faculty and staff from all seven programs that make up the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design. We—students, staff, and faculty—thrive in the abundance nurtured here, despite the outside world. In a moment when delight and despair are offered in the same breath, we continue to serve as each other’s audiences, toughest critics, and loudest cheerleaders. We ask difficult and sometimes scary questions about our lived experiences, and by default of each other, turning our questions into form and voice and movement again, and again.

This place is a harbor for the gift of imagination and critical thinking that is the act of creating the world we wish to see, together. To give. To live—in motion.

Contributors are faculty and staff of the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design: Elise Adamson, Clement Akpang, Isaiah Aladejobi, Suse Anderson, Stephen Arnold, Becca Balton, Kara Braciale, Joe Bradley, Travis Xavier Brown, Malik Burnett, Michele Carlson, Mary Coughlin, Douglas Crawford, Andrea Dietz, Alex Donahue, Brendan Drake, Alessandra Echeverri, Joey Enriquez, Ben Harvey, Maren Henson, Wes Holloway, James Huckenpahler, Kamille Jackson, Kaitlin Jencso, Daniel Jonas, Scott Jones, Sharmila Karamchandani, Dean Kessmann, Anna Jayne Kimmel, Taylor Knight, Kirk Kristlibas, Kevin Kwon, Alma Laprida, Jung-Sil Lee, Kerry McAleer-Keeler, Melina Misri, Eugene Montague, Dumisani Ndlovu, Bibiana Obler, Em Petro, Davide Prete, Ryan Rakhshan, Nidhi Singh Rathore, Astrid Riecken, Siobhan Rigg, Kiara Rivera, Laura Schiavo, Sam Shelton, Alexandra Silverthorne, Jihyun Song, Heather Stebbins, Susan Sterner, Benjamin C Tankersley, Anna Thompson, John Traub, Maurice Tyree, Bella Varela, Paloma Vianey, Jamille Wallick, and Ning Yu.

A Gift in Motion was organized by Michele Carlson, Program Head, Studio Arts and Associate Professor, Printmaking.

Special thanks to: Em Petro, Joey Enríquez, James Huckenpahler, Laura Schiavo, Natasha Bailey, and Sam Shelton.

Unfossilizing African Art recontextualizes African material culture objects that have been held in the GW Collection for nearly 50 years. Led by Assistant Professor Clement Akpang, 59 students across four seminar courses conducted original research to deepen understanding of the collection and reconsider how these objects are interpreted and exhibited.

Cracks & Reforms: The 1920s Through the GW Collection examines a decade shaped by political upheaval, social transformation, migration, modernization, and cultural redefinition. This exhibition, developed as part of an art history class taught by Associate Professor Bibi Obler, is accompanied by a catalog designed by graphic design students.

A Gift In Motion loosely draws from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book The Serviceberry which uplifts Indigenous frameworks of the natural world to advance the possibilities in collectivity, reciprocity, and the mindset of abundance. These are anti-capitalist models and theories that provide insight into the systems of power we negotiate, but also offer a lens on how we individually move through our daily lives—together—through historically fraught landscapes. A keen reminder that working with, for, and because of each other remains the most human motivation, even while we are inundated with narratives that suggest otherwise.

Within the walls of the academy, frameworks of artistic and creative knowledge are often dismissed, as are Indigenous methodologies and community-focused perspectives that center human engagement, oral and craft-based practices, and unquantifiable research. A personal experience. A feeling. Abstraction. And yet, for centuries, within the walls of art schools exist myriad economies of imagination that are anchored in the sharing of diverse creative knowledge and articulated in what we make, write, perform, dance, build, conserve, collect, display, speak, and think. We do this all—in small and grand gestures, every day— in service of learning with and for each other in the crafting of the world we wish to see. Perhaps we are articulating the world we already see, even if no one else will.

This showcase brings together the creative, academic, and applied research of the full- and part-time faculty and staff from all seven programs that make up the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design. We—students, staff, and faculty—thrive in the abundance nurtured here, despite the outside world. In a moment when delight and despair are offered in the same breath, we continue to serve as each other’s audiences, toughest critics, and loudest cheerleaders. We ask difficult and sometimes scary questions about our lived experiences, and by default of each other, turning our questions into form and voice and movement again, and again.

This place is a harbor for the gift of imagination and critical thinking that is the act of creating the world we wish to see, together. To give. To live—in motion.

Contributors are faculty and staff of the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design: Elise Adamson, Clement Akpang, Isaiah Aladejobi, Suse Anderson, Stephen Arnold, Becca Balton, Kara Braciale, Joe Bradley, Travis Xavier Brown, Malik Burnett, Michele Carlson, Mary Coughlin, Douglas Crawford, Andrea Dietz, Alex Donahue, Brendan Drake, Alessandra Echeverri, Joey Enriquez, Ben Harvey, Maren Henson, Wes Holloway, James Huckenpahler, Kamille Jackson, Kaitlin Jencso, Daniel Jonas, Scott Jones, Sharmila Karamchandani, Dean Kessmann, Anna Jayne Kimmel, Taylor Knight, Kirk Kristlibas, Kevin Kwon, Alma Laprida, Jung-Sil Lee, Kerry McAleer-Keeler, Melina Misri, Eugene Montague, Dumisani Ndlovu, Bibiana Obler, Em Petro, Davide Prete, Ryan Rakhshan, Nidhi Singh Rathore, Astrid Riecken, Siobhan Rigg, Kiara Rivera, Laura Schiavo, Sam Shelton, Alexandra Silverthorne, Jihyun Song, Heather Stebbins, Susan Sterner, Benjamin C Tankersley, Anna Thompson, John Traub, Maurice Tyree, Bella Varela, Paloma Vianey, Jamille Wallick, and Ning Yu.

This talk, drawing on a forthcoming Stanford University Press book that blends scholarly research with insider political experience, proposes a relational materialist framework. It traces illiberalism to the contradictions of an uneven and shifting hierarchical global economic order, which generate a triple devaluation of economic status, cultural worth, and political voice that illiberal movements mobilize. The balance of political forces across these intertwined fields of struggle, above all the capacity of democratic actors to answer the triple devaluation, determines the outcome.

The talk applies this framework to illiberal socioeconomic policy, foreign policy, and political strategy, and closes by drawing on successful cases of democratic revival, from South Korea and Uruguay to Hungary in 2026, to identify what durable democratic countervailing power requires.

Planners make decisions about land use, zoning, permitting, and redevelopment that shape community health for decades. Increasingly, those decisions are being evaluated not just for individual impacts but for how they interact with the stressors already present in a community - pollution, housing instability, lack of green space, chronic disinvestment, and more. That combined picture is what cumulative impact assessment is designed to capture.

In this 90-minute webinar, Dr. Sandra Whitehead introduces cumulative impact assessment for a planning audience: what it is, how it differs from conventional environmental review, where states and cities are beginning to require it, and what planners need to understand as this approach moves from research into regulation. Drawing on her work co-developing the U.S. EPA national cumulative impacts training curriculum and her experience as Program Director of GWU's Sustainable Urban Planning program, Dr. Whitehead will walk through core concepts, real-world applications, and the practical questions planners should be asking now - before the regulatory landscape catches up to the science.

No prior background in cumulative impact assessment is assumed. This session is designed for practicing planners, planning students, public health professionals working with planning agencies, and anyone whose work touches upon land use decisions in overburdened communities.

A Gift In Motion loosely draws from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book The Serviceberry which uplifts Indigenous frameworks of the natural world to advance the possibilities in collectivity, reciprocity, and the mindset of abundance. These are anti-capitalist models and theories that provide insight into the systems of power we negotiate, but also offer a lens on how we individually move through our daily lives—together—through historically fraught landscapes. A keen reminder that working with, for, and because of each other remains the most human motivation, even while we are inundated with narratives that suggest otherwise.

Within the walls of the academy, frameworks of artistic and creative knowledge are often dismissed, as are Indigenous methodologies and community-focused perspectives that center human engagement, oral and craft-based practices, and unquantifiable research. A personal experience. A feeling. Abstraction. And yet, for centuries, within the walls of art schools exist myriad economies of imagination that are anchored in the sharing of diverse creative knowledge and articulated in what we make, write, perform, dance, build, conserve, collect, display, speak, and think. We do this all—in small and grand gestures, every day— in service of learning with and for each other in the crafting of the world we wish to see. Perhaps we are articulating the world we already see, even if no one else will.

This showcase brings together the creative, academic, and applied research of the full- and part-time faculty and staff from all seven programs that make up the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design. We—students, staff, and faculty—thrive in the abundance nurtured here, despite the outside world. In a moment when delight and despair are offered in the same breath, we continue to serve as each other’s audiences, toughest critics, and loudest cheerleaders. We ask difficult and sometimes scary questions about our lived experiences, and by default of each other, turning our questions into form and voice and movement again, and again.

This place is a harbor for the gift of imagination and critical thinking that is the act of creating the world we wish to see, together. To give. To live—in motion.

A Gift In Motion loosely draws from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book The Serviceberry which uplifts Indigenous frameworks of the natural world to advance the possibilities in collectivity, reciprocity, and the mindset of abundance. These are anti-capitalist models and theories that provide insight into the systems of power we negotiate, but also offer a lens on how we individually move through our daily lives—together—through historically fraught landscapes. A keen reminder that working with, for, and because of each other remains the most human motivation, even while we are inundated with narratives that suggest otherwise.

Within the walls of the academy, frameworks of artistic and creative knowledge are often dismissed, as are Indigenous methodologies and community-focused perspectives that center human engagement, oral and craft-based practices, and unquantifiable research. A personal experience. A feeling. Abstraction. And yet, for centuries, within the walls of art schools exist myriad economies of imagination that are anchored in the sharing of diverse creative knowledge and articulated in what we make, write, perform, dance, build, conserve, collect, display, speak, and think. We do this all—in small and grand gestures, every day— in service of learning with and for each other in the crafting of the world we wish to see. Perhaps we are articulating the world we already see, even if no one else will.

This showcase brings together the creative, academic, and applied research of the full- and part-time faculty and staff from all seven programs that make up the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design. We—students, staff, and faculty—thrive in the abundance nurtured here, despite the outside world. In a moment when delight and despair are offered in the same breath, we continue to serve as each other’s audiences, toughest critics, and loudest cheerleaders. We ask difficult and sometimes scary questions about our lived experiences, and by default of each other, turning our questions into form and voice and movement again, and again.

This place is a harbor for the gift of imagination and critical thinking that is the act of creating the world we wish to see, together. To give. To live—in motion.

Contributors are faculty and staff of the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design: Elise Adamson, Clement Akpang, Isaiah Aladejobi, Suse Anderson, Stephen Arnold, Becca Balton, Kara Braciale, Joe Bradley, Travis Xavier Brown, Malik Burnett, Michele Carlson, Mary Coughlin, Douglas Crawford, Andrea Dietz, Alex Donahue, Brendan Drake, Alessandra Echeverri, Joey Enriquez, Ben Harvey, Maren Henson, Wes Holloway, James Huckenpahler, Kamille Jackson, Kaitlin Jencso, Daniel Jonas, Scott Jones, Sharmila Karamchandani, Dean Kessmann, Anna Jayne Kimmel, Taylor Knight, Kirk Kristlibas, Kevin Kwon, Alma Laprida, Jung-Sil Lee, Kerry McAleer-Keeler, Melina Misri, Eugene Montague, Dumisani Ndlovu, Bibiana Obler, Em Petro, Davide Prete, Ryan Rakhshan, Nidhi Singh Rathore, Astrid Riecken, Siobhan Rigg, Kiara Rivera, Laura Schiavo, Sam Shelton, Alexandra Silverthorne, Jihyun Song, Heather Stebbins, Susan Sterner, Benjamin C Tankersley, Anna Thompson, John Traub, Maurice Tyree, Bella Varela, Paloma Vianey, Jamille Wallick, and Ning Yu.

A Gift in Motion was organized by Michele Carlson, Program Head, Studio Arts and Associate Professor, Printmaking.

Unfossilizing African Art recontextualizes African material culture objects that have been held in the GW Collection for nearly 50 years. Led by Assistant Professor Clement Akpang, 59 students across four seminar courses conducted original research to deepen understanding of the collection and reconsider how these objects are interpreted and exhibited.

Cracks & Reforms: The 1920s Through the GW Collection examines a decade shaped by political upheaval, social transformation, migration, modernization, and cultural redefinition. This exhibition, developed as part of an art history class taught by Associate Professor Bibi Obler, is accompanied by a catalog designed by graphic design students.

Children, Trauma, and the Work of Recovery

From the Holocaust to October 7

Join us for the second program:

The Kindertransport: Rescue, Separation, and Recovery

October 25, 2026

Guest Speakers:
Dr. Amy Williams
Kindertransport Scholar in Residence at the Association of Jewish Refugees

Dr. Amir Peleg
Claims Conference Chief Historian in Israel

The second program in the Talking Memory series, Children, Trauma, and the Work of Recovery — From the Holocaust to October 7, revisits the Kindertransport through the experiences of children who were separated from their families, exploring testimony, memory, trauma, and resilience across generations.

Dr. Amy Williams will draw on newly discovered archival material—including hundreds of thousands of documents connected to the Kindertransport—to revisit survivors’ testimonies, challenge longstanding myths, and explore how Kinder and their families have responded to seeing these records more than 80 years later. She will also reflect on connections between Kindertransport survivors and the experiences of Holocaust survivors affected by October 7.

Dr. Amir Peleg will present interviews with Holocaust survivors who survived the October 7 massacre in the Western Negev, offering insight into their experiences and the ways they understand and process a new encounter with mass violence.

Join us for an evening of testimony, historical discovery, and reflection on the enduring questions of separation, trauma, survival, and recovery.

Senior Computer Scientist, Biosystems Data Science, Berkeley Lab
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Chris Mungall, PhD is a Staff Scientist in the Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology Division at LBNL, where he heads the Biosystems Data Science department. Chris’s research interests center around the capture, computational integration, and dissemination of biological research data, and the development of methods for using this data to elucidate biological mechanisms underpinning the health of humans and of the planet. He and his team have led the creation of key biological ontologies for the integration of resources covering gene function, anatomy, phenotypes and the environment. In the Gene Ontology project and others, Chris and his collaborators develop systems that help curators translate biological knowledge into a computable form, and apply that biological knowledge to answer complex biological questions.

Abstract: DisMech is a knowledge base that connects molecular defects to disease phenotypes through structured, literature and analysis supported mechanisms. I’ll describe how AI agents curate and review this knowledge, supported by automated checks of schemas, ontology terms, and quoted evidence. Examples from congenital disorders of glycosylation will illustrate the approach and open a discussion of how GlyGen could help connect genes, altered glycoproteins, and clinical outcomes.

This introductory workshop will cover four categories of failure that compromise data integrity: Poor Sampling Strategy, Intentional Alteration/Suppression, Technical Corruption, and Metadata/Version Drift. Through concrete examples and hands-on practice, participants will gain a critical understanding of why data integrity is not just a technical detail, but an ethical and civil rights imperative.

If you need personalized assistance with a data analysis, programming, or a coding project, consider booking a consultation with one of our librarian-experts. Learn more about our services to support programming and coding and for working with data.

All sessions are free to GW students, faculty, staff, and alumni. GW has an institutional commitment to ensuring that all of our programs and events are accessible for all individuals.
