Segregated Houston: Black Life Beyond the Hedges
Join two eminent historians of Houston and Texas for a close look at black life and culture beyond the university (music and sports especially), and a discussion of what this larger world holds and has held for Rice.
A Zoom Webinar – April 14, 2021 – 6:00 p.m. CDT (7:00 p.m. EST)
Zoom ID: 925 4533 8296 • Passcode: 256011
The world outside of the hedges profoundly impacted the state and nature of life at Rice both in its iteration as a whites-only institution and in its later incarnation as a desegregating university. In this first of a series of events on black Houston, two eminent historians of the region explore neighborhood life in the Jim Crow city and the place of sports as a lens through which to examine Houston’s twentieth century transformations. Join us for a discussion of how to understand Rice better by seeing more of Houston and the world beyond.

DASER Experiments: Studio K.O.S. in Conversation with Dr. Samuel K. Roberts: Register here
Join us for a conversation about the role of the arts in the revitalization of New York City’s South Bronx after the devastating fires of the 1970s and during the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. Four members of the art collective Studio K.O.S. (Kids of Survival) engage in a conversation with Dr. Samuel K. Roberts, Associate Professor of History, School of Arts & Sciences and Associate Professor of Sociomedical Sciences, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University. This is the second in a three-part series of conversations with Studio K.O.S.
Studio K.O.S. is a collective of artists who are continuing the legacy of the late Tim Rollins and the K.O.S., whose collaborative approach to making art began in the Bronx in the 1980s. The artwork that resulted from their collaborations can be seen today in over 120 museums and public collections worldwide including the National Academy of Science, the Museum of Modern Art, The Tate Modern, and the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Studio K.O.S. consists of Angel Abreu, Jorge Abreu, Robert Branch, and Nelson Ricardo Savinon, original members who have remained active for more than 30 years. They are dedicated to the mission of empowering young people through exposure to art and literature.
Dr. Samuel K. Roberts writes, teaches, and lectures widely on African American urban history, especially medicine, public health, and science and technology. His widely acclaimed book, Infectious Fear: Politics, Disease, and the Health Effects of Segregation (University of North Carolina Press, 2009), is an exploration of the political economy of race and the modern American public health state between the late nineteenth century and the mid-twentieth century, a period which encompasses the overlapping and mutually-informed eras of Jim Crow segregation and modern American public health practice.
About DASER
Launched in 2011, D.C. Art Science Evening Rendezvous is a discussion forum series providing a snapshot of multidisciplinary projects and fostering networking across disciplines. We have moved DASER online where we are experimenting with different formats and meeting on the third Thursday of the month.

DASER fosters community and discussion around the intersection of art and science. The thoughts and opinions expressed in the DASER events are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the positions of the National Academy of Sciences or of Leonardo.

“Beyond the Sand and Sea is an extraordinary and inspiring book for anyone searching for pinpricks of light in the darkness. Meticulously reported over three years, it reveals the strength of a family of Somali refugees who never lost faith in America―and exposes the broken refugee resettlement system that kept that family trapped for more than two decades and has turned millions into permanent exiles” (St. Martin’s Press/ March 30, 2021).
While the event is free for all participants, a $20 donation will get you a discounted, signed copy of this novel. Donate quickly, only 14 of these books are available!
