May 9, 2026: Legacies on Display: The Forbidden and Venerated Arts of Burma at NIU Art Museum

Sat, 09 May 2026 12:00:00 -0500

Through a display of nineteenth to twenty-first century Burmese ivory, silver, textiles and paintings, Legacies on Display reveals the complicated history of cultural and artistic objects and the lasting impact, intended or unintended, they leave behind as they travel from their point of origin to their final home in a museum, where a new history of public display and interpretation begins. Using the Burma Art Collection at NIU to explore these issues, this exhibition examines and questions the changing narratives that objects undergo as their life extends beyond a generation. From the once venerated elephant ivory carvings to the once forbidden modern protest paintings, Legacies on Display interrogates how meanings and interpretations are created, changed and left behind as part of our human record.

Standard museum opening hours are:
10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Wednesday
Noon - 6 p.m. Thursday, Friday
Noon - 3 p.m. Saturday

Upon completing facilitator training: Host and facilitate two circles per academic year.Returning facilitators: Host and facilitate two circles per semester (this will begin 2026-27 academic year).Check-in: Participate in at least one facilitator check-in per semester to share experiences with the Huskie First team to receive continued guidance and support.Ongoing development: Complete one professional development opportunity per semester offered through Huskie First.

May 14, 2026: (Peri)Menopause at Work: Creating a Comfortable Workplace Environment that Benefits Everyone

Thu, 14 May 2026 11:00:00 -0500

Menopause will directly affect about half of the population at some point in their lives. Yet the experience, and how it may affect one’s work, career and the workplace, is not well understood and rarely discussed.

Facilitators will apply the lens of universal design to begin exploring how supervisors and colleagues can create a workplace climate and environment that supports the needs of folks experiencing (peri)menopause while also benefiting others.

This session is intended to: (a) make space for conversation; (b) create a venue for sharing information, resources and personal experiences; and (c) inspire curiosity in participants to learn more about how (peri)menopause may affect individuals and the workplace more broadly.

By intentionally designing courses that anticipate and remove barriers, we create learning environments where all students, regardless of ability, background, or learning preference, can fully engage and thrive.

This interactive institute explores how accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) work together to support effective, student‑centered teaching. You will examine practical approaches that make learning more flexible, engaging, and equitable for everyone. Learn more at citl.niu.edu/fall-tei Register Now!

Sep 29, 2026: Lincoln Lecture: Globalizing the American Revolution at Altgeld Hall

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 19:30:00 -0500

Presented by Richard Bell, a scholar and teacher at the University of Maryland and a popular America250 speaker.

The author of The American Revolution and the Fate of the World, a book that received starred reviews from Publisher’s Weekly, Library Journal, and Kirkus Reviews.

It reveals the full breadth and depth of America’s founding event. The American Revolution was not only the colonies’ triumphant liberation from the rule of an overbearing England; it was also a cataclysm that pulled in participants from around the globe and threw the entire world order into chaos. Repositioning the Revolution at the center of an international web, this narrative ranges as far afield as India, Africa, Central America, and Australia. As Bell's lens widens, the “War of Independence” manifests itself as a sprawling struggle that upended the lives of millions of people on every continent and fundamentally transformed the way the world works, disrupting trade, restructuring penal systems, stirring famine, and creating the first global refugee crisis. Bell conveys the impact of these developments at home and abroad by grounding the narrative in the gripping stories of individuals—including women, minorities, and other disenfranchised people. The result is an unforgettable and unexpected work of American history that shifts everything we thought we knew about our creation story.
