Join Alissa Schapiro, assistant curator of the exhibition Life Magazine and the Power of Photography, for a presentation on the work of three female Life photographers—Margaret Bourke-White, Marie Hansen, and Nina Leen. The talk will focus on their photo essays about American women in the context of World War II. With the status of female labor in the United States in continuous flux during the war and in its immediate aftermath, these photographers captured the various roles available to women—paying close attention to race and class in addition to gender—while simultaneously solidifying their own positions within Life’s male-dominated photography and editorial staff. The talk will be followed by a conversation on gender politics at Life with media scholar Dolores Flamiano from James Madison University and Katherine A. Bussard from the Art Museum.

The Andlinger Center is hosting a virtual event featuring Bernard Bigot of The ITER Organization. Bigot is the director-general of the 35-country scientific collaboration known as ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) tasked to build a 500-megawatt fusion plant in southern France. This project is slated to be the first fusion experiment to produce more energy than it consumes. PPPL is an active collaborator on the project, and physicist Egemen Kolemen is the seminar’s host.   Bigot is based in France and will Zoom to an international audience 12pm EST/4pm GMT. This seminar is an example of Princeton convening leadership at the highest levels, specifically around energy and environmental issues and solutions. Fusion is seen as a potential source of limitless energy, and Bigot will discuss how ITER puts fusion on a pathway to commercialization, and the advances and challenges with the project. The talk may appeal to those interested in renewable energy, environmental studies, and climate change.  Registration is required. https://acee.princeton.edu/acee-news/virtual-highlight-seminar-series-bernard-bigot-iter/ Sponsored by The Andlinger Center for Energy & the Environment, Princeton University
