Professor Yoonmi Nam’s work is a study in observation and objects. She deconstructs, venerates, and contemplates “everyday” vessels from takeout containers to cardboard boxes, constructing still lifes and abstract pieces. Through observation, these objects that we routinely handle, display, and discard take on a second life, one that prompts us to consider things that we have been conditioned to ignore. The pieces are durational, layered over time, suggesting something both fleeting and eternal. As living beings, humans are impermanent. Read more about Nam's current exhibition or visit her website. Congrats, Yoonmi! We're so grateful to have you in the College.

KU Faculty Development Academies: Creating Public Impact with Your Research
Monday, May 13, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Kansas Union, Jayhawk Room
KU Faculty Development Academies are day-long intensives, focused on a particular topic, giving faculty time to delve deep and develop a core capacity in a chosen area. This session aims to equip KU scholars driven by similar aspirations with tools, strategies and resources to confidently engage public audiences with their research. Participants will learn foundational skills in message development, audience connection, and communication that can be applied in any public engagement scenario — from media interviews to legislative testimony to social media promotion and more.
