• Nicole began dancing in 2007 under the instruction of Dona Mittasch and Mary Lingo. She immediately fell in love with the fluidity and detail, and it was thrilling to discover previously dormant muscles in her body. Since then Nicole has deepened her knowledge and appreciation of this dance through study, improvisation and teaching. In an art form with seemingly endless layers and information, there are always new treasures to uncover and that is what keeps her coming back for more. The last 12 years of dance has led Nicole to a new obsession: removing the inherent ableism that has always existed in the movement arts, and making room for representation of disabled dancers. She has learned so much about effective and ineffective teaching practices in her years as a student, and has had the opportunity to test inclusive methods as a teacher. Nicole plans to continue her research and share her knowledge through workshops and lectures, in order to give teachers and show producers the tools to truly benefit all dancers. Nicole offers two weekly classes: Beginning belly dance on Thursday evenings at Amazon community center, and advanced beginning on Monday evenings at celebration belly dance and yoga. She is also available for performance and private lessons.

A Brief Tour of the Social Brain

With Rob Chavez, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychology and director of the Computational Social Neuroscience Lab at the University of Oregon

July 11, 2019 | 6:30-8:30PM; Doors open @ 5PM | $5 Suggested Donation
 

Human beings are a fundamentally social species, and our relationships with one another are among the most cherished aspects of our lives. The capacity to perceive, evaluate, and understand people in our social environment is made possible by the extraordinary complexity of the human brain. How much do we know about the brain’s capacity to uphold some of these most defining characteristics of our species?

In this talk, professor Rob Chavez of the University of Oregon will give an overview of what the field of Social Neuroscience has uncovered about the ways in which the brain represents information about ourselves, other people, and the richness of our emotions and mental lives. Drawing on work using human neuroimaging, he will show how these psychological phenomena are supported by distributed yet highly connected regions across the brain.

Rob is an Assistant Professor of Psychology and director of the Computational Social Neuroscience Lab at the University of Oregon. He completed his Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience at Dartmouth College and Bachelor of Science in psychology at the University of New Mexico. Prior to coming to University of Oregon in 2017, he worked as a postdoctoral scholar at Ohio State University. His research uses a combination of multimodal neuroimaging and machine learning methods to describe how our brains build representations of our sense of self and the social environment and how we use these representations to guide our behavior in the real world.
