A meander map of the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depots and Martin Luther King, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field guide. Marginalia, sketches, letters, and postcards. At first glance, these items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each item displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Library team, offering insight into both the collections and the people who preserve and share them.

Choosing a favorite from a collection as vast and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an ongoing social media campaign that began last summer, inviting participants to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. They rose to the occasion, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections. Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades, while others have been here less than a year, but each has amassed incredible insight into these items in their tenure, providing a unique overview of the collections as a whole. Their favorite items, first showcased on social media and now highlighted within the exhibition, act as an initial foray into some of the best kept secrets of Special Collections.

These unique items speak to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections they reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In viewing the selections within this exhibition, the curators hope visitors will be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover their own favorites.

Regular museum hours will resume on Monday May 4th, 2026 and run through January 15th, 2027.

Stitches in Time: Quilts & Fashion explores the enduring dialogue between quilt making and dress. Nineteenth and twentieth-century quilts are juxtaposed with quilted fashions to highlight connections in technique, color, and historical moment. At the heart of the exhibition is a remarkable recent gift from Sylvia R. Karasu, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine, a collection of garments by legendary American designer and Louisianian, Geoffrey Beene. These pieces represent Beene's enduring attention to craftsmanship, fabrication, and quilting as a means of elevating design and detail in high-end fashion.

Karasu, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine, a collection of garments by legendary American designer and Louisianian, Geoffrey Beene. These pieces represent Beene's enduring attention to craftsmanship, fabrication, and quilting as a means of elevating design and detail in high-end fashion.

A meander map of the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depots and Martin Luther King, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field guide. Marginalia, sketches, letters, and postcards. At first glance, these items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each item displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Library team, offering insight into both the collections and the people who preserve and share them.

Choosing a favorite from a collection as vast and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an ongoing social media campaign that began last summer, inviting participants to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. They rose to the occasion, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections. Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades, while others have been here less than a year, but each has amassed incredible insight into these items in their tenure, providing a unique overview of the collections as a whole. Their favorite items, first showcased on social media and now highlighted within the exhibition, act as an initial foray into some of the best kept secrets of Special Collections.

These unique items speak to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections they reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In viewing the selections within this exhibition, the curators hope visitors will be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover their own favorites.

The Baton Rouge symposium builds directly on this foundation, with the objective of increasing the frequency and accessibility of scientific exchange in North America while maintaining strong transatlantic integration. Beyond presenting new data, the meeting aims to refine theoretical frameworks, consolidate core mechanistic concepts, and accelerate maturation of the field.

The program will integrate molecular, cellular, behavioral, and evolutionary perspectives on how environmental exposures and life experiences shape phenotypes across generations.

Karasu, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine, a collection of garments by legendary American designer and Louisianian, Geoffrey Beene. These pieces represent Beene's enduring attention to craftsmanship, fabrication, and quilting as a means of elevating design and detail in high-end fashion.

A meander map of the Mississippi River. An early example of manga. Photographs of train depots and Martin Luther King, Jr. A bible from Ethiopia. A botanical field guide. Marginalia, sketches, letters, and postcards. At first glance, these items have little in common. The only obvious –if tenuous—connection is that they are all held within LSU Libraries Special Collections. Yet each item displayed is a favorite selected by a member of the Hill Memorial Library team, offering insight into both the collections and the people who preserve and share them.

Choosing a favorite from a collection as vast and varied as this is no easy task. That challenge was posed as part of an ongoing social media campaign that began last summer, inviting participants to choose a single item or collection that reflects their interests. They rose to the occasion, highlighting surprising and meaningful selections. Some contributors have worked in Hill for decades, while others have been here less than a year, but each has amassed incredible insight into these items in their tenure, providing a unique overview of the collections as a whole. Their favorite items, first showcased on social media and now highlighted within the exhibition, act as an initial foray into some of the best kept secrets of Special Collections.

These unique items speak to the breadth of perspectives and personalities of both the collections they reside in as well as the people who work to provide access to them. In viewing the selections within this exhibition, the curators hope visitors will be inspired to unlock Special Collections for themselves and discover their own favorites.

This is a talk about parentheses, and the ways they rely on a supposedly obvious premise: things inside parentheses are purportedly less important than the content outside them. And yet, parentheticals change the sentences in which they appear, and their contents, while theoretically being less significant than their contexts. Parentheses create spaces for words and phrases that seem alien and vulnerable in their contexts, and thus demonstrate a kind of hospitality, welcoming into sentences elements that seem unrelated but are themselves crucial to the stories in which they appear.

In this talk, Associate Professor Chris Barrett looks at works of Renaissance literature (when parentheses first started appearing widely in text) to explore how parentheses perform a kind of welcoming into a sentence’s household. Remembering that the Greek word for household is oikos, the root of the word “ecology,” Barrett proposes that parentheses help us see the fundamentally ecological nature of literature. Parentheses highlight how even the most disparate and seemingly least relevant things are intimately connected, and how literature can create spaces of welcome and refuge for hosting, at least for a brief while, those most vulnerable to evanescence.

About the Speaker

Chris Barrett is an associate professor of English at LSU, a Dean’s Fellow in the College of Humanities & Social Sciences, and director of its Humanities Center. She joined the LSU faculty in 2012 after completing her doctoral degree in English at Harvard University. Her research and teaching interests include early modern English literature, poetry and poetics, ecocriticisms, and geocritical approaches to literature. Her published works—recognized by Rainmaker Awards in 2018 and 2025—include the book Early Modern English Literature and the Poetics of Cartographic Anxiety (Oxford University Press, 2018), as well as articles and essays on forests, Shakespeare, Spenser, Milton, butterflies, whales, fire, ether, compasses, birdsong, knock-knock jokes, and more. Her research has been supported by the Council on Research, the Newberry Library, the Folger Library, the Dumbarton Oaks Museum and Collection, the Lilly Library, and the Friends of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries. In 2013-2024, Barrett was the faculty adviser to Spectrum, LSU’s largest LGBTQIA+ student organization. Additionally, Barrett has been the recipient of several teaching awards, including the inaugural Outstanding Professor Award from the LSU Student Government (2018), the Tiger Athletic Foundation President’s Award (2017), the Tiger Athletic Foundation Undergraduate Teaching Award (2014), and the English Graduate Student Association Graduate Faculty Award (2014). This talk is drawn from her second monograph, on the poetics of the obvious.

These are the kinds of questions that drive both scientific inquiry and artistic creation. In this talk, composer Stephen David Beck reveals how the research process—asking “what if” and pursuing answers through experimentation—can be at the heart of creating electroacoustic music. Through examples from his compositions, discover how curiosity about sound, space, and technology leads to unexpected and sometimes surprising results. Whether in the lab or in the studio, scientists and artists share a common approach: they ask questions, test possibilities, and explore the unknown. Join us for a journey into the creative process, where the boundaries between art and science blur and innovation emerges from simply asking “What if?”

About the Speaker

Stephen David Beck (b. 1959) teaches music composition and electroacoustic music at LSU, where he is the Derryl & Helen Haymon Professor of Music. He received his Ph.D. in music composition and theory from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he studied with Henri Lazarof, Elaine Barkin, Paul Reale, Alden Ashforth, and Roger Bourland. In 1985, he studied computer music at IRCAM with the support of an Annette Kade/Fulbright Fellowship and joined the faculty at LSU in 1988. Since 2003, he has held a joint faculty position at the Center for Computation & Technology, where he established the cultural computing group and led the development of the Ph.D. program in experimental music and digital media.

Beck has been active as a researcher and creative artist, with over 35 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, presentations, and talks, 56 compositions, and over $7 million in funded research activities. He has also served as the interim director of the Center for Computation & Technology, director of the School of Music, and most recently as associate vice president of research and economic development. He has since returned to his faculty role, spending time teaching and creating music in his labs at the Digital Media Center.

Ongoing advancements in microbiome profiling have provided unprecedented insights into the
molecular dynamics of microbial communities, sparking a surge of interest in uncovering the
microbiome’s critical role in human health. Identifying microbial features linked to clinical
outcomes, however, remains challenging due to the high-dimensional, sparse, and compositional nature of microbiome data. Additionally, many microbial taxa, although classified as distinct, may share functional roles, complicating traditional variable selection methods.
To address this, we developed two complementary Bayesian frameworks. Our first
approach, BRACE, provides a unified nonparametric approach for data-adaptive feature
aggregation and selection. By clustering regression coefficients, BRACE identifies groups of taxa with similar functional impacts, yielding interpretable models and effective dimension reduction without relying on external information. In contrast, our second approach, GRACE, investigates the role of external feature similarity graphs. It combines variable selection with outcome-driven graph learning, characterizing how recovery of outcome-relevant networks changes when guided by external, outcome-agnostic graphs such as phylogeny or co-occurrence. Both methods explicitly respect compositionality and have shown strong performance in oral microbiome applications, together offering new strategies for interpretable regression models in compositional data settings.
