Halie, the floor is yours. *** STUDENT RECOGNITION AWARDS Ms. Vilagi: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’d now like to invite Andrew Mikac up to the front. Andrew Mikac is a third-year law student in the Michael E. Moritz College of Law at The Ohio State University. In addition to being one of the top students in his college, with a 3.95 grade point average, Andrew is a leader in the law school community with a passion for civic engagement. While an undergraduate student at Ohio State, Andrew studied English and economics. Outside the classroom, Andrew was a university ambassador, served as the speaker of the senate in the undergraduate student government, and spent nearly four years as a cross country and track coach at a nearby middle school. After graduating with honors in 2011, Andrew left Ohio for Charlotte, North Carolina, where he worked as a high school teacher at a high-need public school. As part of his placement there, through Teach for America, Andrew taught over seventy students each semester, led a curriculum planning team, and helped coach the school’s track and field team to back-to-back state championships. After two years of teaching, Andrew returned to Ohio State to study law and continue his commitment to excellence both inside and outside of the classroom. While a law student, Andrew has served as mentor to first-year students, provided programming encouraging law faculty to adopt introspective teaching habits, and competed as a member of the Moot Court regional travel team. In 2015, Andrew was elected to be editor-in-chief of the Ohio State Law Journal, where he oversees a staff of 80 students in publishing the premier legal journal in the state of Ohio. As editor-in-chief, Andrew has pushed priorities of diversity and inclusion and helped expand the journal’s online and print scholarship. After graduation, Andrew plans to spend a year as a law clerk to Judge David McKeague on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit before joining the law offices of Jones Day in Washington, D.C. Congratulations and best of luck, Andrew. 301 November 6, 2015 meeting, Board of Trustees Mr. Mikac: Thank you, Halie. Thank you to the Board and thank you President Drake for honoring me with this incredible recognition. I did want to also thank the Dean of the Law School, Dean Michaels who is here today. As I told the dean, simply being nominated for this award, I think is in some ways the greatest honor because of the great students that make up my class at the Ohio State Law School. I also want to recognize two professors who have been instrumental in my development over my time at Ohio State: Professor Elizabeth Renker in the Department of English and Professor Chris Walker in the College of Law. Both of these professors have been my mentors and really helped to push me and challenge me to develop into a person able to be recognized with an award like this. My parents, Tim and Patty, are here as well and my girlfriend, Sarah, and they are here because without their support nothing I have been able to do would have been possible. I don’t have anything very formal prepared but I was reflecting on this award and it struck me as something that seems really odd, I guess to me, to be getting because when I walked on to Ohio State’s campus in 2007 as a freshman, I was always an average student. I think I can truly say that it was my time here at Ohio State, through the people that I met who challenged me and broadened my horizons, through the professors I engaged with who served as my mentors, and through the leadership opportunities I have been afforded here, that I have been able to develop into a person who I hope can serve as a leader. As I have left Columbus and spent time, whether it was two years teaching in Charlotte, North Carolina, or these past two summers working in Washington in law, I have done so as the only Buckeye around. At all points, I felt more than adequately prepared, not only to take on the challenges of those realms, but also to be a leader in those environments and my time at Ohio State is what prepared me for that. Now as I head into my last year of law school, I graduate in May, right Dean Michaels? I think that’s right, my fingers are crossed. As long as that all works out, I will enter the world and leave the Ohio State community once again confident that I can take on the challenges of the road ahead and I look forward to making the university proud as I do so. Thank you. Dr. Wadsworth: Let me call on Mr. Kellogg. Mr. Kellogg: I want to ask Andrew a quick question if I could. Congratulations by the way. First and foremost, wherever you are as a Buckeye, you are never the only one. You just didn’t meet the other ones that were around. Secondly, the teaching to law school combo, could you embellish on that a little bit? Mr. Mikac: Yes. I think for me, teaching was something that I very much loved and enjoyed but you feel as though you can only make such a small impact compared to the broader needs that exist. In law, you are given the tools and the skills and the opportunity to address the realities that you face in the classroom on a broader scale, bigger level. Mr. Kellogg: Thank you. 302 November 6, 2015 meeting, Board of Trustees Mr. Mikac: But I never felt alone as a Buckeye, so I didn’t mean to say it that way. Thank you. Ms. Vilagi: We’ll bring LaToiya Templeton up to the front. Thank you. Our second student being recognized today is LaToiya Templeton, a fourth year student in the College of Veterinary Medicine. And I want to thank LaToiya, she told me she got somebody to cover for her at the hospital. She went through a lot to be here and I am very grateful to you for that. LaToiya grew up on the south side of Chicago and is the youngest of three children.

  • The Shadow and the Arc Light: Finding the Female Workforce in Bombay Cinema
    E-CineIndia July-September 2020 ISBN: 2582-2500 Article Madhuja Mukherjee The Shadow and the Arc Light: Finding the Female Workforce in Bombay Cinema Abstract: This paper is connected to broader research concerning gender, labour and the Indian film industry, and develops from my on-going audio-visual project titled ”The shadow and the arc light”. While it is linked with my previous book project, ‘Voices of the Talking Stars’ (2017) involving women/ work and cinema dynamics, the attempt here is to reclaim feminist narratives from the historical debris and amnesia, in the context of contemporary and emergent feminist historiography. Furthermore, while certain degree of research has been conducted on women as ‘directors’, my purpose here is not to posit women as ‘auteurs’; contrarily, I aspire draw attention to the problems of historical readings which, generally speaking, have been greatly influenced by studies of periods, styles, movements and (great) masters, even though, more recently newer research have examined industrial conditions, cinematic transactions across regions, media histories, and so on. Consequently, my aim is to shift the focus to subjects of labour, and bring to light the characteristics of film work, and enquire where is the female figure on the elusive credit lists? Therefore, I call attention to a historical lacuna, which provokes us to rethink film historiography, and highlight the nature of filmic work and underscore the (un-credited) work done by women, in multiple capacities, during the last century. The ‘women’s question’ thus, urges us to rethink methods of writing histories for cinema. The purpose of this paper consequently is two fold -- first, to understand the nature filmic work, and secondly, to locate the shadow of the women worker in the archives of cinema.

The point of departure was a Jazz Services Advisory Board meeting where the Jazz Services plan for a chain of live music venues and the problem of securing lottery funding to provide the initial investment for this were under discussion. Tim Whitehead suggested that as well as plugging away on the live music venue chain, Jazz Services should aim to pinpoint the many venues not promoting jazz, or if doing so, on an infrequent basis for one reason or other – usually a fear of the unknown.

  • Ustad Nishat Khan in Concert
    Join us for a mystical evening showcasing the best of Indian Classical Music with the world renowned Sitar Maestro Ustad Nishat Khan at the Royal Opera House, Mumbai OR Royal Opera House, Mumbai presents a magical evening showcasing the best of Indian Classical Music with world renowned Sitarist Ustad Nishat Khan For Immediate Release Royal Opera House, Mumbai proudly presents Moon on the Water: Ustad Nishat Khan in Concert. A celebration of the musical journey of the critically acclaimed Sitar maestro, who brings his unique blend of instrumental textures and virtuosic techniques to Mumbai and our stage with an upcoming solo performance. The description of the performance is as below: This concert is centered around Khan’s fascination with the moon and each note promises to be imbued with its poetic and celestial beauty while promising to capture the mystique of the moon on the waters of the Arabian Sea that surround our city. In fact, Khan had, in 2013, conceptualised, composed and performed an innovative Sitar Concerto, The Gate of the Moon, commissioned by the BBC as a part of the BBC Proms Programme at The Royal Albert Hall, London, alongside the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and recently reprised the show with the Seattle Symphony in 2018. Hailed for its successful marrying of Indian classical music with the instrumentation and symphonic structure of western music, the concert was praised as a visionary integration of sitar with western orchestral sound. Khan’s playing has been applauded by critics as being “virtuosic” and “an interesting hybrid of styles and influences”, embellished with motifs and “filigree sounds”.
