Friday Music Concert Series: Buffalo Nichols
Devine Theatre, Davis Performing Arts Center
Carl Nichols has been releasing music under the “Buffalo Nichols” moniker since 2021, but his commitment to creative expression dates back to his teens. Whilst his contemporary take on the blues has taken him from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series, his refusal to bend to genre expectations has seen him be embraced by audiences around the world. In truth, his music owes as much to the traditions of the blues as it does to the fuzz and distortion of shoegaze. 

Following the lead of his idiosyncratic artistic desires means that Buffalo Nichols continues to confound, continues to experiment, and continues to find new audiences for his heartfelt, emotionally heavy output. Shying away from making something challenging is simply not an option – be that his personal, political lyrics or his sonic exploration missions into the void. Wherever he leads, curious minds will follow.

Tickets are free and pre-registration is required.

• School of Health | Saint Mary’s Hall, Room 107

  In 1986, Guinea-worm disease afflicted 3.5 million people across 21 countries. Last year, there were ten cases. Join Professor Adam Koon, who lived and worked inside the eradication campaign in Africa, for the story of how a disease with no vaccine and no cure was driven to the edge of extinction by clean water, cloth filters, health education, and the tireless work of village volunteers.

  “The World Order We Didn’t See Coming: Neo-royalism and US Foreign Policy”
  With the end of the rules-based order, many thought we would fall back into a familiar pattern of great power competition. But from tariffs to Greenland to Iran, US foreign policy has left many scratching their heads. Professor Abraham Newman, John Powers Chair in International Business Diplomacy in the School of Foreign Service, offers an alternative logic whereby national interests are subjugated to those of personalist rulers and their insider court. Think less a new Cold War and more a new Game of Thrones.

• McDonough School of Business | Lohrfink Auditorium, 2nd Floor Hariri Building
  “Venture Capital: Small Investments, Outsized Impact”
  Venture capital finances only a tiny fraction of new businesses, yet VC-backed companies have played an extraordinary role in shaping the modern American economy. In this interactive session, Professor Sandeep Dahiya will explore how venture capital works, why it is particularly suited to financing risky and innovative businesses, and why its successes and failures look so different from those of traditional investments. Through audience decisions, discussion, and some surprising evidence, we will examine how a relatively small corner of the financial system has had an outsized impact on innovation, jobs, and economic growth.

  “What’s going to happen in the 2026 midterms elections?”
  In nearly every modern midterm, the president’s party suffers a “midterm slump” and loses congressional seats.
