UC faculty to focus on the theme “Security.”

The fall “Life of the Mind” lecture series will kick off Tuesday, September 18 from 3:30-5pm in the Russell C. Myers Alumni Center. “Life of the Mind” features interdisciplinary conversations with UC faculty around a one-word theme followed by audience Q&A and a reception with light refreshments.

Each quarter, there are two “Life of the Mind” sessions with three “thought provocateurs” contributing to each session. The fall “Life of the Mind” theme is “Security.”

At the September 18 event, three distinguished faculty members will address the theme from unique and diverse perspectives:

• Pamela Heaton, Associate Professor of Pharmacy, James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy, “Prescription Medications: Safe, Too Safe, or Not Safe Enough?”
• Kathleen Ballman, Assistant Professor of Clinical Nursing, College of Nursing, “The 3 C’s of Security: Confidence, Competence and Caring”
• Robin Engel, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice, College of      Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services, “Enhancing Security through Crime Prevention: The Power of Repeats”

The second session in the series on “Security” will be held Tuesday, October 30 from 3:30-5pm and will feature:

• Richard Harknett, Associate Professor of Political Science, McMicken College of Arts and Sciences
• Henry Nasrallah, Professor of Psychiatry & Neuroscience, College of Medicine
• Adrian Parr, Associate Professor, Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, McMicken College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Architecture and Interior Design

“Life of the Mind” is free and open to the public and attracts a broad audience including UC students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as people from the community. Past themes have been “Technology,” “War,” and “Identity.” More information about “Life of the Mind” is available online at www.libraries.uc.edu/lifeofthemind/.

“Life of the Mind” is co-sponsored by the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, the Chair of the University Faculty, and the UC Libraries.

In this thoughtful collection of narratives, Peckham explores the transformative power of emotional and physical pain from the vantage point of a husband and parent who lost his wife and a child in an accident that left him in chronic distress. Along the way, he fills a need for a brutally honest, literary examination of not only grief and suffering, but also of recovery.

On February 7, 2004, while traveling from Aqaba to Amman in Jordan, Peckham, his two sons, mother-in-law, and his wife, Susan Atefat Peckham, were in a car crash. Susan and their oldest son, Cyrus, were killed, while Peckham was left temporarily crippled and suffering from intense neuropathy.
 
The narratives in Resisting Elegy are the result of this experience and its aftermath. To face the truth of the tragedy and the truth of the recovery process, Peckham approaches guilt, grief, anxiety, physical and emotional therapy, chronic pain, single-parenting, marriage, writing, and cultural conflict. The chapters in the book appear chronologically, not in the order of the events they describe, but by the time and occasion in which they were written. In this way, the book reveals the non-linear, disjunctive progress of the human mind as it navigates through the wreckage of the past while trying to clear a way forward. 

In 2003-2004, Peckham won a Fulbright teaching scholarship to the University of Jordan, and in 2011, he was a finalist for both the New Rivers MVP Prize and the Sol Books Prize. He is also the author of three collections of poetry: Nightwalking, The Heat of What Comes, and Movers and Shakers, and his literary essays on grief and recovery have appeared in a number of publications, including River Teeth, The North American Review, and Under the Sun and Brevity. He lives with his son, Darius, and his second wife, Rachael, in Huntington, WV.
 
The reading and book signing is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served. Published by Academy Chicago Publishers, copies of Resisting Elegy will be available for purchase at the event.
