THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
May 23–June 8
7:30 p.m.
Miller Theatre Complex Hope Theatre

Music and Lyrics by William Finn Book by Rachel Sheinkin Conceived by Rebecca Feldman Additional Material by Jay Reiss Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine Originally produced on Broadway by David Stone, James L. Nederlander, Barbara Whitman, Patrick Catullo Barrington Stage Company, Second Stage Theatre

Directed by Tara Wibrew

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

This event is an opportunity for students to showcase their progress as they are finishing the intermediate sequence. All faculty and students are invited to come celebrate this benchmark with us! If you speak French, even better, as students would practice conversational speaking skills with you. You are also welcome to come even if you don’t speak French and are curious about what e-portfolios are or how they could be used in a language classroom. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mathilde Bégu, 2nd-year French supervisor: mbegu@uoregon.edu.

Dept. of History Seminar Series: “Public Housing in Postwar Japan, 1945-1960"
June 3
4:00 p.m.
Erb Memorial Union (EMU) Cedar & Spruce (Rooms 231 & 232)

Join the Department of History and John Leisure, University of Oregon, for a talk on “Public Housing in Postwar Japan, 1945-1960."

Tuesday, June 3rd 4:00 pm EMU Cedar & Spruce Rooms (231 & 232) Free and open to the public. 

This talk examines how large-scale public apartment complexes reshaped the contours of everyday life in Japan after World War II. Emerging out of experimental projects in the late 1940s, public apartments—colloquially known as danchi—became visible markers of postwar rehousing and domestic reform. Spurred by government money with strings attached to design objectives, these concrete projects touched scores of cities throughout the archipelago. By 1960, danchi apartments already functioned as residential urban infrastructure operating in a biopolitical mode. Danchi housing projects promoted productivist publics, privatized domestic space, and rationalized communities in an effort to establish a new postwar paradigm: governance through dwelling. 

The Department of History Seminar Series runs throughout the academic year and features guest speakers from the top universities who share their perspectives on history. Visit history.uoregon.edu for more information about the seminar series.
