SUMMARY:Truth and the Novel\, author Geraldine Brooks
DESCRIPTION:Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth\, said Albert Camus. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Geraldine Brooks spent half her life as a journalist\, running after the truth in difficult places where despots and warlords were desperate to obfuscate. Later she turned to fiction\, but her novels always hew as closely as possible to historical truth. In the Wolf Humanities Center’s 2025 Dr. S.T. Lee Distinguished Lecture in the Humanities\, Brooks will discuss her process as a novelist and how it is informed by the toolkit she acquired as a foreign correspondent covering conflicts in the Middle East\, Africa\, and the Balkans. \nA book signing will follow the lecture and Q&A.\n——\nAustralian-born Geraldine Brooks is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist renowned for her deeply immersive\, character-driven historical novels. Her fiction debut\, Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague\, became an international bestseller\, translated into more than 25 languages. In 2006\, Brooks won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her second novel\, March. Her other bestsellers include People of the Book\, Caleb’s Crossing\, The Secret Chord\, and Horse. In addition to fiction\, Brooks has authored acclaimed nonfiction books\, including Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women\, Foreign Correspondence: A Penpal’s Journey from Down Under to All Over\, and The Idea of Home. Her latest book\, Memorial Days\, was published in 2025.

SUMMARY:“It’s Your Curse\,” and Other Lessons in Repairing Historical Harm
DESCRIPTION:Anthropologist Deirdre de la Cruz on the efforts to develop and enact reparative approaches to her institutions’s Philippines collections.\n\n\nWolf Humanities Center • University of Pennsylvania \n2024–2025 FORUM ON KEYWORDS \n“It’s Your Curse\,” and Other Lessons in Repairing Historical Harm\nDeirdre de la CruzAssociate Professor of History and Asian Languages and Cultures\, University of Michigan \nThe University of Michigan possesses extensive archival\, photographic\, archaeological and natural history collections from the Philippines\, many of which were built during the American colonial period from objects\, images\, and ancestors taken without the consent of local source communities. In this talk\, historical anthropologist Deirdre de la Cruz introduces a multi-year\, collaborative effort by Michigan faculty\, curators\, collection managers\, students\, and community partners to develop and enact reparative approaches to these collections. Professor de la Cruz reflects on how the historical and contemporary specificities of the Philippines and its diaspora both contribute to and complicate on-going conversations around museums and historical justice\, including its associated lexicon of keywords like repatriation\, affiliation\, reciprocity\, and even\, refusal. \nCosponsored by Penn’s Department of Anthropology\, Department of History\, Department of South Asia Studies\, Center for East Asian Studies\, South East Asia Working Group\, and the Penn Museum. \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nDeirdre de la Cruz is a historian and anthropologist whose work examines global formations and global relations from the historical and cultural vantage point of the Philippines. Her first and second books (Mother Figured: Marian Apparitions and the Making of a Filipino Universal  and God’s Magicians: Philippine Centers of the Global Occult ) trace the discursive\, material and performative processes through which the Philippine emerges as a major spiritual and religious center over the long twentieth century. For the last several years\, de la Cruz has also served as co-PI of ReConnect/ReCollect: Reparative Connections to Philippine Collections at the University of Michigan\, a collaborative work of public scholarship that seeks to repair historical harm by creating models for more ethical and equitable Philippine colonial collections by introducing Filipino and Indigenous agency to their stewardship. De la Cruz is Associate Professor of History and Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan\, and currently serves as Director of the Doctoral Program in Anthropology and History. \nMore information: https://wolfhumanities.upenn.edu/delacruz \n–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. \nPhoto by Jeffrey Smith\, courtesy of the University of Michigan Special Collections Research Center. \nThe Wolf Humanities Center values inclusivity and we aim to create a welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds.
