Duke University 2013 Graduation Speaker
In his 2013 Duke commencement address, Andrew Barnhill, MDiv '13 and a native of Wilmington, spoke of "sacred moments" students should treasure at Duke -- "moments filled with laughter; moments filled with awe. Through each of them, we are challenged to find our voices born in the crevice of Duke's identity as a place of innovation and a space of sacred leadership."

Navigating Place & Power - 2012-2013 Duke History Graduate Student Conference
The Graduate Students of the Duke University Department of History were pleased to invite Dr. Thomas Laqueur, professor of history at University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Laqueur was the keynote speaker for Navigating Place and Power, an annual one-day conference at Duke University, which took place on Friday, February 15, 2013. This interdisciplinary conference sought to promote dialogue between scholars of various disciplines in order to explore how individuals and groups negotiate systems of power. In this talk, Dr. Laqueur discusses the concept of deep time & necrogeography while analyzing the impact of the collective dead on building culture & communities throughout human history.

Held at the Washington Duke Inn on Friday, April 26th, 2013
http://cit.duke.edu/showcase2013/plenary/
MOOCs and other forays into online learning are not only changing Duke by the fact that they are being offered, they are also spurring conversations about teaching innovation and curricular innovation more broadly at Duke. Conversations are being held that would not have been able to be held even a year ago, instigated by Duke's involvement in Coursera and Semester Online/2U -- conversations about credit, quality, the student experience, what is learning and how do we "certify" it, the connection of external experience to the classroom, the role of the professor in guiding student learning, the connection of the broader community to the Duke classroom and more. What does Duke of the next few years look like? What changes can be foreseen, and which are too fuzzy to anticipate?
Susan Lozier, chair of the Advisory Committee for Online Education (ACOE) and the Academic Council, and Professor of Ocean Sciences in the Nicholas School; David Bell, chair of Trinity College's Online Learning Advisory Committee (OLAC), Professor of Romance Studies, and soon-to-be interim director of FHI; and Keith Whitfield, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, presented and took questions on these topics.

From Inspiration to Action: One Student's Journey in Global Health at Duke
Interactive Computer Music: A Duke Student Project
This is Duke Senior Clara Starkweather demonstrating one of her final projects for MUS 274S (Interactive Computer Music), taught by Scott Lindroth. In the class, students developed interactive motion-to-music systems using web cameras as well as the Kinect camera. They all wrote their own computer code using a software synthesis programming language called SuperCollider. They designed their own instruments and wrote algorithms that determined what those instruments played in response to movement detected by the cameras.
Clara's project uses the Kinect camera to fill out a musical setting of "Golden," a song by Jill Scott. Clara is a neurobiology major, a conservatory-level pianist, and an AB Duke Scholar. She is heading to Harvard next year to begin an MD-PhD program with the goal of becoming a neurosurgeon.
New Prototype Gigapixel Camera Creates Super Hi-Res Photos
A new prototype gigapixel camera creates color photographs 10 times sharper than 20/20 vision and with 100 times the resolution of a consumer camera with 10 megapixels.
Duke University professor David Brady and his colleagues developed the AWARE2 Gigapixel Camera with a single lens, 96 microcameras and a 110-degree field of view. The prototype device improves upon a previous version.
"What's really unique about this camera is that it has very high pixel count for things at finite range," said Brady, the Michael J. Fitzpatrick Professor of Electric Engineering at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering. "It does that in a way no other camera has before because each of the microcameras focuses individually, so objects at various depths can all be in focus."
Brady and his team used the camera to take a picture of Duke's 2013 graduation ceremony in Wallace Wade Stadium. View that image here: http://bit.ly/13U3wNB.
The prototype camera is large -- about three feet cubed -- but Brady and his team are working to condense it.

80 Faces | Martha Clarke
Dance theater artist Martha Clarke shares her enduring connection to the American Dance Festival in today's chapter of 80 Faces.
By: AmerDanceFest Categories: Arts, Campus Life, Duke & Durham Tags: entertainment Original link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIjOy7cwzKM80 Faces | Dianne McIntyre
Dianne McIntyre first attended ADF as a student in 1966. "It was glorious," she remembers. "I actually got to be with the pioneers. Martha Graham actually came to our Graham class one day, and I remember she lifted my spine. I can still feel it."
In the early 1990s, Ms. McIntyre returned to the festival as a beloved faculty member. This period marked her intense study and reconstruction of the work of modern dance luminary Helen Tamiris, which--among many performances--included a solo by Ms. McIntyre during the American Dance Festival/Samuel H. Scripps Award program, which posthumously honored Helen Tamiris and Pearl Primus. In the video above, Ms. McIntyre describes her unforgettable moments onstage during that performance.
In 2008, Ms. McIntyre returned to the ADF to receive the Balasaraswati/Joy Ann Dewey Beinecke Chair for Distinguished Teaching, for her indelible mark on both the ADF students and our stage.

80 Faces | Shen Wei
Chinese-born choreographer Shen Wei began his association with ADF as a student at the Guangdong Modern Dance Academy as part of our first linkage program in Guangzhou, China (1987). The students who participated in the three-year program went on to form China's first modern dance company, the Guangdong Modern Dance Company. Subsequently, we invited Shen Wei to participate in our International Choreographers Commissioning Program in 1995, and in 2000, he formed his own company at ADF. Each year since then, ADF has presented his work at the festival and has commissioned him to create and premiere a total of 13 new works at the Festival to critical acclaim.
