This lecture theorizes noising as a decolonial methodology, situating Raven Chacon's Voiceless Mass (2021) within a space Where the aesthetic, political, and epistemic borders of modernism grow porous, as Chacon-grounded in Diné and Chicanx epistemologies-reconfigures noise into a communal practice of resistance and healing.

Hear Your Data: A Hands-On Data Sonification Workshop
Struggling to find the patterns in a complex dataset? Visual plots don't always tell the whole story. Sonification—mapping data to sound—is a powerful analytical tool that engages your sense of hearing to reveal trends, outliers, and structures that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn how to transform your data into sound to unlock new insights. This session is ideal for researchers in any field looking to expand their analytical toolbox.
Who: Open to faculty, graduate students, and advanced undergraduate researchers.
When: Sunday, Nov. 23, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Where: Kammerer Computer Lab, Frohnmayer Music Bldg., Room 105
Agenda Highlights:
• Introduction with real-world examples
• Interactive Listening Session: Learn to Interpret Data by Ear
• Hands-On Lab: Create Your First Data Sonification
• Discussion: How to apply these techniques to your own research; links to on-campus resources and course offerings
By mapping data to sound, you can perceive complex patterns in a new dimension, making it a powerful method for discovery and analysis — a unique opportunity for researchers to explore an innovative analytical technique.

The Oregon Humanities Center presents Christopher Brown and his jazz band
Each moment of our lives presents us with opportunities and challenges for us to make decisions that will shape the next minute, hour, day, week, month, year, and decade to come. If we want positive outcomes, the challenge is learning how to string together appropriate decisions in each moment. And for that, a decision-making filter is required. Christopher Brown and his band will demonstrate how jazz musicians use decision-making filters to identify what’s worth and what’s not worth paying attention to in various moments of our lives. His presentation and the band’s performance “Beyond the Buzz: Finding the Signal in a Noisy World” will take place in the Sheffer Recital Hall. There will be a reception with no-host bar at 5:30 p.m. The presentation and performance will begin at 6 p.m.
Christopher Brown is a Portland-based musician, composer, bandleader, and educator who seeks to be a voice for the advocacy of jazz music and American culture. After 20 years of military service, Brown studied jazz at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in Jazz Studies/Performance. He has taught as an artist in-residence at Wells Fargo’s “NJPAC Jazz For Teens” program (NJ), Mt. Hood Jazz Camp (OR), Mel Brown Jazz Camp (OR), Litchfield Jazz Camp (CT), Rutgers Summer Jazz Institute (NJ), Montclair Jazz Camp (NJ), and the International Summer Music Camp (Brno, Czech Republic). His musical and personal experiences have led him to an interest in synthesizing the principles of jazz with the day-to-day practicalities of life.
This event is part of the 2025–26 Cressman Lectureship.
