|
Mary Ellen Konieczny
, the Henkels Family Associate Professor of
Sociology
at the University of Notre Dame, died Saturday (Feb. 24) as a result of complications from cancer. She was 58.
“The sudden loss of colleague, friend, teacher and mentor Mary Ellen Konieczny is a devastating blow to our department, from her important scholarly work on religion and conflict to her tremendous dedication to her students,” said
Sarah Mustillo
, professor and chair of the Department of Sociology. “She had a brilliant intellect and an even more brilliant spirit that was shared in abundance with all those she came into contact with. Few interacted with Mary Ellen without experiencing her enthusiasm, energy and earnest devotion to her family, friends and work. She was also deeply committed to the mission of Notre Dame, building bridges across campus, and indeed, around the world with her recent work in Rwanda

“A Lunatic of the Sacred”: The Life and Work of Charlotte Moorman
Nicole L. Woods
is an assistant professor of modern and contemporary art at the University of Notre Dame. In fall 2017 she holds the Ailsa Mellon Bruce Visiting Senior Fellowship at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art. She is currently completing the first scholarly monograph on the Fluxus artist Alison Knowles.
“A lunatic of the sacred.” “A magician.” “A proto-feminist.” “The artist who brought women into performance.” These portrayals, offered by the artists Carolee Schneemann and Alison Knowles at a roundtable event honoring the life and work of Charlotte Moorman, the Juilliard-trained cellist, performance artist, and festival organizer of the post–World War II avant-garde, announce the particular—and yes, even astonishing—influence of Moorman's practice in the 1960s and beyond.

Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
