DESCRIPTION:University of Iowa (UI) alumna Karri Goeldner Byrne (BA communication theory ‘92) will deliver the 2025 Commitment to Internationalization Lecture\, Navigating the Unpredictable: The Private Sector as Partners in Humanitarian Response. \nIn an era marked by disruption and declining government aid\, Byrne will examine how the private sector is stepping into a larger role in global development and humanitarian response. Drawing on her 30 years of experience leading market-based initiatives across 35 countries\, she will explore how innovation\, adaptability\, and local enterprise are redefining the future of international engagement. \nJoin Byrne and International Programs to explore how the sudden 83% drop in U.S. foreign aid funding is forcing a shift in problem-solving on global issues. The lecture looks beyond previous aid models to present a clear vision of the future; one where private enterprise and local markets become the primary drivers of progress. \nPre-register to let us know you’re coming at https://international.uiowa.edu/rsvp-commitment-internationalization-lecture \nKarri Goeldner Byrne is a senior advisor and independent consultant with experience across 35 countries\, helping organizations navigate complex economic challenges in some of the world’s most demanding environments.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Entangled Ecologies: Memory\, Place\, and the Camellia Forests of Jeju
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on ethnographic research with Jeju villagers\, conservationists\, and environmental activists\, Dr. Jeongsu Shin\, LB Korean Studies postdoctoral associate in the East Asia Program at Cornell University\, will explore how memory\, ecology\, and place intertwine in Jeju’s Giving Forest. Once a site of violence during the April 3rd Uprising and later transformed through afforestation and tourism\, the Giving Forest has become a living archive of layered histories and ecological regeneration. Dr. Shin’s lecture\, “Entangled Ecologies: Memory\, Place\, and the Camellia Forests of Jeju\,” will take place during International Education Month. \nDr. Shin is the LB Korean studies postdoctoral associate in the East Asia Program at Cornell University. An ethnographer of Korea\, her work bridges environmental studies\, Asian studies\, and science and technology studies. Her book project\, Worldly Ecologies: Landscape\, History\, and Decolonial Environmentalism on Jeju Island\, explores how environmental movements and ecological research in Jeju\, South Korea\, have shaped new understandings of Jeju identity and autonomy\, tracing their roots through colonialism\, the Cold War\, and neoliberal development to the present. \nThe Korean Studies Research Network (KoRN) aims to bring together scholars whose research focuses on Korea-related topics and to provide mentoring to emerging scholars. It serves as a platform for collaborative and interdisciplinary research among scholars and graduate students at the University of Iowa and other institutions across the Midwest through seminars\, speaker series\, and workshops. \nRegister at https://uiowa.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_u6G4Lh-sT7K4A9_4t29yhQ \nEach November\, the University of Iowa celebrates the many ways international education and exchange opportunities prepare citizens for community building in both national and international settings. Visit the International Education Month site at https://international.uiowa.edu/celebrating-international-education to see all the events taking place in November. \nThis event is made possible through generous support from International Programs and The Stanley-University of Iowa Foundation Support Organization at the University of Iowa. \nIndividuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events.

Born in Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century\, it’s more than a collection of dance steps; Samba de Gafieira practice encompasses essential elements such as tempo\, rhythm\, coordination\, and weight-shifting \nYou don’t need a partner to join us\, and dancers regularly rotate partners during class. It’s a dynamic blend of rhythm\, creativity\, and fun\, often incorporating solo steps from “Samba no Pe” (Carnival Style) and similar to other Latin forms such as Salsa\, Merengue\, Bachata\, etc. \nWhether you’re here for the music\, the movement\, or the cultural experience\, Samba de Gafieira offers an energetic way to connect with others\, stay active\, and explore Brazil’s vibrant dance heritage. \nURLs:\nTickets: https://go.evvnt.com/3295765-0?pid=10309\nFacebook: https://go.evvnt.com/3295765-2?pid=10309 \nDate and Time: On Thu\, 23 Oct 2025 18:30 – Fri\, 21 Nov 2025 20:30 \nVenue details: Tavern Blue\, 805 2nd Street\, Coralville\, Iowa\, 52241\, United States \nCategory: Classes / Courses | Creative and Performing Arts | Dance \nPrice:\nSingle Class: USD 60.00
