SUMMARY:Mixing West African Traditional Sounds and American R&B
DESCRIPTION:Five-time Grammy Award winner Angélique Kidjo is one of the greatest artists in international music today\, a creative force with fourteen albums and innumerable accolades to her name. Time Magazine calls her “Africa’s premier diva” and named her one of the most influential people in the world. Kidjo cross-pollinates the West African traditional sounds of her childhood in Benin with elements of American R&B\, funk and jazz\, as well as influences from Europe and Latin America. Her striking voice\, stage presence and fluency in multiple cultures and languages have won respect from her peers and expanded her following across national borders. An internationally recognized humanitarian\, the BBC\, Forbes\, and The Guardian have all highlighted her importance to the people of the African continent and beyond.

SUMMARY:Evening Extra: Contested Nuclear Taboo in the Third Nuclear Age
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, there have been growing concerns that the renewed great power competition and the increasing salience of nuclear weapons in world politics could eventually lead to the erosion of the international norm against the use of nuclear weapons – the “nuclear taboo.” Join students and faculty with the Department of Political Science to hear Prof. Michael Smenta discuss his new book on how the normative prohibition against using nuclear weapons persists in world politics and may have been reaffirmed by the world’s response to Moscow’s saber-rattling in Ukraine. Rebecca Davis Gibbons\, Associate Professor of Political Science at USM\, will moderate the discussion. \nWith Professor Michal Smetana\, Director of the Peace Research Center Prague (PRCP)\, moderated by Prof. Rebecca Davis Gibbons. Co-sponsored by The World Affairs Council of Maine. This event is free and open to the public. \nPlease register HERE
