Physicist James West, co-inventor of the foil electret microphone, will deliver a lecture titled "Electret and Piezoelectric Polymer Transducers," as part of the Science Center's Seeing Myself in Science series. A research professor at John Hopkins University, West invented technology that is used in about 90 percent of contemporary microphones. His talk will lead into a discussion about his journey on becoming an inventor during the 20th century. The series—part of the New Scientist Collective initiative—aims to bring scientists from diverse ethnicities to share their professional journey and personal views on diversity and inclusion in the sciences. Introductory remarks will be offered by Barrett Hazeltine, professor emeritus of engineering. The lecture is free and open to the public, but <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://listserv.advancement.brown.edu/t/200285/2027295/890390/18/">tickets</a> are required.

Five African writers will read from their work as part of a one-day festival titled "New Global Africa," hosted by the Program in Literary Arts. In the almost six decades since Chinua Achebe published Things Fall Apart and brought African writing into the consciousness of the West, African writers have firmly cemented their place in the global consciousness. Writing on everything from technology to war to sex and politics, African writers have "reinvented what it means to be public intellectuals." During this festival, the writers who are American residents will give their perspective on present day discussions of blackness, race, police brutality, immigration and other issues. A panel discussion with the writers will precede the readings at 9:30 a.m. The event begins at 12:45 p.m. in the McCormack Family Theater, 70 Brown St. </div>

Devoted to beer cultures around the world, the Haffenreffer Museum Student Group has curated an exhibition titled "Brewed for Thought: A Cross-Cultural Exploration of Beer and Brewing." The exhibition will highlight the important role beer has in social gatherings throughout various parts of the world and in various settings including ceremonies, relationships and even medical treatment. In honor of the Haffenreffer family's gift to Brown University more than 60 years ago, the exhibition will feature objects linked to brewing and beer consumption from a broad range of communities including Bolivia, Peru, Kenya, Nepal, Tibet and the United States. Paying homage to the Haffenreffer family's roots as brewers, the objects will provide a context for how fermented beverages have been consumed for the last 2,500 years. The exhibition will be on display through May 2017 in the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, the College Green. Exhibition hours are Tuesday-Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Mondays and University holidays.

When Brown University acquired the King Philip Museum as a donation from Rudolf Haffenreffer's family, there was no space dedicated for the development of research and teaching in anthropology. An exhibition titled "Northern Horizons, Global Visions: J. Louis Giddings and the Invention of the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology," aims to shed light on the profound contributions of anthropology pioneer James Louis Giddings as part of the 60th anniversary of the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology. Featuring examples of Giddings' archeological research including Inuit snow goggles, projectile points, a fishing net and rare Iñupiat birchbark kayak, the exhibition serves as a celebration of Giddings' work and of his students that helped transform a small private museum with a Native American focus into a "university teaching museum with worldwide scope and global vision." The exhibition will be on display through June 30, 2017, in the Haffenreffer Museum, the College Green. Exhibition hours are Tuesday-Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed on Mondays and University holidays.
