Monday! The Denbo Center for Humanities & the Arts Distinguished Lecture Series presents Moya Bailey, "Authenticity in AI Times."

As our universities push AI into the administrative and classroom dynamics of our campuses, some of us question how we remain true to the values of higher education that drew us to the profession. Professor Moya Bailey's talk invites us to imagine critical thinking in a world on fire, with less and less water to put it out because of datacenters and AI everywhere.

Moya Bailey is a Professor at Northwestern University and is the founder of the Digital Apothecary and co-founder of the Black Feminist Health Science Studies Collective. She is the digital alchemist for the Octavia E. Butler Legacy Network and the Board President of Allied Media Projects, a Detroit-based movement media organization that supports an ever-growing network of activists and organizers. She is a co-author of #HashtagActivism: Networks of Race and Gender Justice (MIT Press, 2020) and is the author of Misogynoir Transformed: Black Women’s Digital Resistance (New York University Press, 2021). She is an award-winning documentarian after completing the short documentary You Just Watch & See (2025) featuring her late Cousin Dollie, and she is completing a docuseries Misogynoir in Medicine.

This talk is part of the 2026-2027 Distinguished Lecture Series presented by the Denbo Center for Humanities & the Arts and in connection with the DCHA annual theme, "Authenticity: Identity & Place." The event will be held in person at the Denbo Center, with streaming also available here: https://tennessee.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vK5-f4VwSUi4uUZ0zyxmDw#/registration

Tonight! Join us on Zoom for Conversations & Cocktails with University of Tennessee at Martin Dean Jeffrey Bibbee, who will present “Chaucer for Children and the Art of Housekeeping: Mary Eliza Joy Haweis and Victorian Domesticity.”

Join here: https://tennessee.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Pld_eLk2QP-MNbFgpLKynQ#/registration

Mary Eliza Joy Haweis (1848-1898) was a 19th century Martha Stewart. Her Art of Housekeeping (1889) was a best seller, and Haweis brought Chaucer to a new late Victorian audience with her exalted Chaucer for Children series. Conventional wisdom assumes that this best-selling author’s Chaucer works, and her varied domestic books, were written and illustrated to provide needed income during her financially and emotionally turbulent marriage – she wrote of the perfect household that had eluded her during adulthood. This oversimplification ignores the antecedents found in her rather remarkable childhood. Explore the roots of this remarkable writer – a leader in the arts and crafts movement.

Dr. Jeffrey R. Bibbee is an historian who focuses on 19th and 20th century British studies with an emphasis on politics and religion. Bibbee completed his degrees in history at Auburn University (BA 1997, MA 1999) and King’s College London (PhD 2008). His doctoral thesis focused on the intersectionality of foreign policy and ecumenism before the start of the Great War. Jeffrey has held faculty appointments in history at the University of North Alabama and at the University of Tennessee at Martin. He currently serves as Dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Bibbee is the Founding Director of the UNA Centre for British Studies and remains active with the North American Conference on British Studies. In 2018-19, Bibbee was named a research fellow at King’s College London and held a research fellowship with the Georgian Papers Programme – a project based at Windsor Castle.
