- Oct 10All dayShutter and Sound: The Jazz Photography of Bob WilloughbyThis exhibition consists of 50 images taken by photographer Bob Willoughby from 1950–1960. In these vibrant photos, Willoughby's appreciation for and understanding of jazz music is apparent. "Willoughby not only had a good eye, he had a keen ear, and seemed to know when to snap at an inspired moment." – Dave Brubeck By 1950 jazz was here to stay and had migrated its unique sound from the streets of New Orleans to American cities from coast to coast. As the world changed, jazz evolved as well. One of the foremost jazz scenes was in Los Angeles, CA. Some would say it was due to the laid-back surfer culture of California, but the jazz of this region had a flavor all its own and is often considered the birth of what we know as "smooth jazz" today. Willoughby developed photos at night in his Los Angeles garage as he listened to jazz on the radio. If he heard a live broadcast from a nearby venue, he'd drop everything to go take photographs. Willoughby's photographs stand out because of their realism and immediacy. Working in difficult lighting and crowded conditions, these images are jazz improvisation made manifest: they give the viewer a sense of vibrant intimacy as he captured wistful singers, jamming musicians, and enthusiastic audiences. Willoughby photographed jazz greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, DaveBrubeck, and Frank Sinatra, to name just a few. A Program of Exhibits USA with Texas Commission on the Arts and The National Endowment for the Arts.

- Oct 103:30 PMAccounting for Care: A talk by Dr. Nancy Folbre"Accounting is as subjective and partial as the art of storytelling, the other meaning contained in the word "account." -Jane Gleeson-WhiteThis is a story about feminist efforts to assign an economic value to care provision, a project that begins—but does not end—with preliminary efforts in the late 19thcentury to measure and assign a dollar value to unpaid work in the home. Today, the annual American Time Use Survey provides useful estimates of the average amount of time that Americans spend on a given day providing child care, elder care, cooking, cleaning, shopping, and managing households, and the lower-bound replacementcostof this time can be estimated by asking how much would be needed to pay someone to do it. This calculation, however, tells us little about thecontributionsthat unpaid and paid care services make to the production, development and maintenance of human capabilities. These vital contributions cannot be reduced to dollar values, inviting a larger, interdisciplinary effort to develop better dashboard indicators of individual and social well-being. Sponsored by the Care Studies Working Group at the Glasscock Center for Humanities Research, the Department of Sociology, and the Department of Economics.
