SUMMARY:STEMming from Punk Rock (Works in Progress Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Jeffrey H. Weisburg\, Ph.D.\, Specialist Professor\, Department of Biology \nPunk rock usually conjures images of teenagers or young adults (you know\, the dregs of society) with spiked\, colorful hair\, tattoos\, piercing\, wearing ripped jeans\, Doc Martin combat boots\, dancing violently to bass-pounding music in a hot and sweaty\, small music venue. Ph.D. in the sciences\, engineers\, and pre-med students are the furthest thing that comes to mind. Three lead singers of landmark punk bands have Ph.D.s in biology; Milo Aukerman of the Descendents (Biology)\, Greg Graffin of Bad Religion (Zoology)\, and Dexter Holland of the Offsprings (Molecular Biology). Several other punk rock artists also have graduate degrees in biology and engineering. This leads to the scientific question that needs to be examined and answered: What is the connection between punk rock and science? Is there something in the water? Is it genetics? Is it a chemical reaction that occurs when two people in the circle pit collide? All possibilities for this question will be investigated.

SUMMARY:Louisa May Alcott\, Little Women
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Louisa May Alcott\, Little Women. \nNominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read \nIt is no surprise that Little Women\, the adored classic of four devoted sisters\, was loosely based on Louisa May Alcott’s own life. In fact\, Alcott drew from her own personality to create a heroine unlike any seen before: Jo\, willful\, headstrong\, and undoubtedly the backbone of the March family. Follow the sisters from innocent adolescence to sage adulthood\, with all the joy and sorrow of life in between\, and fall in love with them and this endearing story. Praised by Madeleine Stern as “a book on the American home\, and hence universal in its appeal\,” Little Women has been an avidly read tale for generations. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:The Look of Silence
DESCRIPTION:An Indonesian man with a communist background named Ramli was brutally murdered when the “Communist” purge occurred in 1965. His remaining family members lived in fear and silence until the making of this documentary. Adi\, a brother of his\, decided to revisit the horrific incident and visited the men who were responsible for the killings and one survivor of the purge. These meetings uncovered sadistic details of the murders and exposed raw emotions and reactions of the killers’ family members about what happened in the past – much to Adi’s disappointment. \nThere will be a post screening Q&A hosted by Professor Minna Yu with special guest speaker Dickie Cox.

SUMMARY:What Does it Mean to Teach Right Now - Social Justice Academy Professional Development Series
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of the current climate regarding equity in education\, the Social Justice Academy will host Cornelius Minor\, a well renowned Brooklyn-eased educator.\n\nSpring Distinguished Speaker \n\n \n\n“My job as a teacher is not to merely teach the curriculum or even to just teach the students; it is to seek to understand my kids as completely as possible so that I can purposefully bend and remix curriculum to meet them.”\n\n \n\nCornelius Minor is a Brooklyn-based educator and part-time Pokemon trainer. He works with teachers\, school leaders\, and leaders of community-based organizations to support equitable literacy reform in cities (and sometimes villages) across the globe. His latest book\, “We Got This”\, explores how the work of creating more equitable school spaces is embedded in our everyday choices—specifically in the choice to really listen to kids.\n\n \n\nMinor has been featured in Education Week\, Brooklyn Magazine\, and Teaching Tolerance magazine. He has partnered with the New York City Department of Education\, the International Literacy Association\, Scholastic\, and Lesley University’s Center for Reading Recovery & Literacy Collaborative. Minor was featured in the documentary “Out of Print”\, which made its way around the film festival circuit\, and he has been a featured speaker at conferences all over the world. He is a dedicated hip-hop fan\, and on some evenings\, you can find him online saving the universe with his PlayStation or on paper saving the realm in Dungeons & Dragons.\n\n \n\nMost recently\, along with his partner and wife\, Kass Minor\, he has established The Minor Collective\, a community-based movement designed to foster sustainable change in schools. Whether working with educators and kids in Los Angeles\, Seattle\, or New York City\, Minor uses his love for technology\, literature\, and social media to bring communities together. As a teacher\, Minor draws not only on his years teaching middle school in the Bronx and Brooklyn\, but also on time spent skateboarding\, shooting hoops\, and working with young people.\n\n \n\nThese days\, Minor is learning how to bake from his two young children\, searching for an elusive pair of Jordan IVs\, and is ritually re-reading all of the 1990s era comic books that he c

SUMMARY:The 1619 Project
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is The 1619 Project. \nA dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism\, The 1619 Project: A New American Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present. \nThe New York Times Magazine‘s award-winning “1619 Project” issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on that work\, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression\, struggle\, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society\, from politics\, music\, diet\, traffic\, and citizenship to capitalism\, religion\, and our democracy itself. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Ocean Bodies\, A Solo Exhibit by Kimberly Callas
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University’s Ice House Gallery presents Ocean Bodies\, a powerful solo exhibition by multimedia artist Kimberly Callas. The exhibition will open on February 6\, 2025\, with an evening reception from 5:30 to 7:30 PM\, and will run through April 4\, 2025. Ocean Bodies offers an immersive exploration of humanity’s interconnectedness with the ocean\, drawing on symbols\, archetypes\, and ecological narratives to invite contemplation and action. \nThrough sculptures\, large-scale drawings\, and mixed-media works\, Callas examines the “crisis of meaning” at the heart of the climate crisis and advocates for a shift in consciousness toward an “ecological self.” This concept\, central to her work\, reflects humanity’s integral role within nature rather than apart from it. In Ocean Bodies\, she uses water-based materials\, such as dyed fabrics\, India ink\, and water-soluble graphite\, to invoke the sea’s physical presence while exploring the symbolic depth of whales\, the horizon\, and the ocean itself as metaphors for the psyche and cosmos. \nAmong the featured works is a series of 10-foot mixed-media drawings inspired by historical nautical charts\, which pair psychological journeys with the migration of critically endangered North Atlantic right whales. Complementing these works are colorful life-size figurative sculptures and reliefs\, 3D-printed using bio-filament\, that further explore themes of renewal and interconnection. Through these works\, Callas poses urgent questions about the loss of meaning\, wisdom\, and biodiversity in the Anthropocene. \n“The ocean has a unique way to connect with people in an immediate and emotional way. Science and data can only tell us so much; art can speak to each of us in a way that is both uniquely personal and universal. Having Kimberly as the Urban Coast Institute artist-in-residence provided inspiration for some of the artwork in the Ocean Bodies exhibit\, which will in turn inspire others. She was also able to share her creative process with her students\, conducting lectures and using her art and sculpture as a pathway to ‘discovering the ecological self.’ This work reminds us that the worlds of art and science are two sides of the same coin\,” said Tony MacDonald\, J.D.\, Director\, Urban Coast Institute. \nCallas created much of the work in Ocean Bodies during an artist residency with Monmouth University’s Urban Coast Institute\, with additional research conducted at the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) and an artist residency at the Arts Quarter Budapest. This body of work seeks to merge art\, science\, and archetypal symbols to foster a deeper understanding of humanity’s place within the natural world and inspire meaningful environmental action. \nAbout the Artist \nKimberly Callas is a multimedia artist\, sculptor\, and the lead artist of the Social Practice project Discovering the Ecological Self. Her work delves into the human/nature relationship\, focusing on the concept of the ecological self. Recently\, she has incorporated cutting-edge technologies\, such as 3D printing with bio-filaments and CNC\, into her life-size sculptures. Art New England described her series Portrait of the Ecological Self as “unforgettable.” \nCallas’s work often involves community engagement. With her Discovering the Ecological Self social practice project\, featured in The Huffington Post\, she has led workshops across the U.S. and internationally. Her art has been showcased in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide\, earning her numerous awards and grants\, including the Pollination Project Grant\, the Urban Coast Artist-in-Residence award\, and the Puffin Foundation Grant. Her accolades include First Place in Sculpture at the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club’s Annual Exhibit in New York City. \nCallas’s recent exhibitions include the International New Media Exhibit at the CICA Museum in South Korea\, Crossing Boundaries: Art and the Future of Energy at the Pensacola Museum of Art\, and Ocean Swimmers (Entanglement)\, a solo exhibition in Budapest. In May 2025\, she will unveil a public art commission for the Lambert Castle Renovation in Paterson\, New Jersey. \nCallas holds an MFA from the New York Academy of Art and a BFA from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Monmouth University and maintains studios in Maine and New Jersey. \nEvent Details: \nExhibition: Ocean Bodies\nLocation: Ice House Gallery\, Monmouth University\, 400 Cedar Ave # 600\, West Long Branch\, NJ 07764\nOpening Reception: February 6\, 2025\, 5:30–7:30 PM\nExhibition Dates: February 6\, 2025 – March 23\, 2025\nGallery Hours: Mon-Fri\, 10am-5pm\, \nFor additional information\, please contact Scott Knauer\, 732.923.4786  or visit https://kimberlycallas.com/. \n

SUMMARY:Akhil Sharma - Visiting Writer
DESCRIPTION:Sharma is a highly decorated short-story writer and novelist; he’s been awarded many of the most prestigious prizes and recognitions that a fiction writer can receive. His first novel\, An Obedient Father (Farrar\, Straus & Giroux\, 2000)\, hailed in New York Magazine by Jonathan Franzen as “A great novel” and described by Hilary Mantel in the New York Review of Books as “uncompromising\,” with a “first chapter . . . [that] blasts off the locks and splinters the wood\,” received the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel and was chosen as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. \nSharma’s second novel\, the spectacular Family Life (Norton\, 2014)\, received both the International Dublin Literary Award and the Folio Prize. Scholar and writer Edmund White called it “a terse\, devastating account of growing up as a brilliant outsider in American culture” and described it as “a near perfect novel.” \nSharma’s third and most recent book\, the story collection A Life of Adventure and Delight (Norton\, 2017)\, prompted writer Yiyun Li to describe Sharma as “truly the Chekhov of our time.” His stories have been widely published and anthologized\, appearing in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, Best American Short Stories\, and O. Henry Award Stories.  \nIndeed\, Sharma is such an exacting and rigorous writer that\, quite unusually\, he recently published a revised and rewritten edition of An Obedient Father (McNally Editions\, 2022) more than twenty years after it first appeared in print. The critic Wyatt Mason\, reviewing the revised version in The New York Times Magazine\, described this as “Something white-rhino rare in the history of literature”\, adding\, approvingly\, “there is scarcely a paragraph that hasn’t been improved . . . ” \nBorn in Delhi\, India\, Sharma grew up in Edison\, NJ. Before becoming a professor at Duke\, where he now teaches\, he was on the faculty at Rutgers. He is an engaging and surprising speaker and an excellent reader of his work \nThis event is sponsored by The Visiting Writers Series\, with the Center for the Arts and the Intercultural Center.

SUMMARY:President's Lecture on Music History and Contemporary America
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Acclaimed Historian Sean Wilentz Presenting “‘I Don’t Write Protest Songs’: Bob Dylan\, 1963”\nBruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music Announces Second Annual President’s Lecture on Music History and Contemporary America \n\n\n\nRegister for the Lecture (Required to Attend)\n\n\n\nWEST LONG BRANCH\, N.J. – The Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music (BSACAM) at Monmouth University is pleased to announce the second annual President’s Lecture on Music History and Contemporary America\, to be held on Thursday\, Jan. 30 at 3 p.m. in Pollak Theatre on the campus of Monmouth University\, 400 Cedar Ave.\, West Long Branch\, New Jersey. \n\nThe event\, which is free and open to all\, will feature acclaimed historian Sean Wilentz. Wilentz\, George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American History at Princeton University\, will present “‘I Don’t Write Protest Songs’: Bob Dylan\, 1963.” \n\nAs Wilentz notes\, “To this day\, Bob Dylan’s early work gets tagged as political or topical or protest music\, despite his own protests about it. He has always refused to be categorized as a protest singer or a political spokesman or anything else other than a songwriter and performer. ‘I don’t write protest songs\,’ he declared to the audience at a Monday night hootenanny at Gerde’s Folk City in 1962. Yet that renunciation served as Dylan’s introduction to his first-ever public performance of ‘Blowin’ in the Wind\,’ a song that within months would become an anthem of the burgeoning civil rights movement. Although he spoke only for himself\, the shifting politics of Dylan’s early output expressed a strong point of view that was essential to his emergence in Greenwich Village\, perhaps the most rapid leap into genius of any artist in modern times. That development accelerated early in 1963\, led to an extraordinary burst of creativity beginning in the middle of the year\, and culminated in a landmark concert at Carnegie Hall on Oct. 26\, the end of the beginning of Dylan’s long career.” \n\nWilentz’s lecture\, drawing on rare and in some cases uncirculated recordings from the time\, will assess the tension and energies behind this exceptional formative period in Dylan’s art. Copies of his book\, “Bob Dylan in America\,” will be available for purchase and signing after his talk. \n\nHosted by Monmouth University President and BSACAM Board of Directors Chair Dr. Patrick F. Leahy\, this second installment in the annual lecture series comes on the heels of the release of the Dylan biopic\, “A Complete Unknown.” In Leahy’s words\, “I am so pleased to welcome Professor Wilentz as the featured speaker for our Second Annual Lecture on Music History and Contemporary America. As one of the leading voices in the study of U.S. political and social history\, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music\, Professor Wilentz’s insights will undoubtedly enrich our understanding of Dylan’s influence on the connections between music\, politics\, and the social forces that have shaped our nation’s history.” \n\nAnd as BSACAM Curator Melissa Ziobro notes\, “We at the BSACAM are thrilled we can continue to bring nationally recognized scholars to our campus for the benefit of our students and the entire community\, both on campus and beyond.” \n\nWhile the event is free and open to the public\, advance registration is required. For group reservations\, email Ziobro directly at mziobro@monmouth.edu.

SUMMARY:Exploring the “How” of Sustainability Transformations
DESCRIPTION: This talk by Dr. Robin Leichenko\,  of Rutgers University is part of the Climate Crisis Teach-in. \nAddressing the climate crisis and related challenges provides many opportunities for \npromoting sustainability transformations. Yet significant questions remain about what such \ntransformations might entail\, how to support them\, and how to sustain and scale these \nefforts. This talk explores the practical\, political\, and personal dimensions of \ntransformation\, drawing upon the model of the “Three Spheres of Transformation”.   The \ntalk also considers recent efforts to promote sustainability transformations\, based upon \nthe speaker’s work with university students and her on-going research on bicycling and \nnon-motorized transportation infrastructure. The talk discusses implications and lessons \nlearned from these case examples for fostering and supporting transformative change.

SUMMARY:Harold Pinter\, Betrayal
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Harold Pinter\, Betrayal. \n“One of the most essential artists produced by the twentieth century. Pinter’s work gets under our skin more than that of any living playwright.” —New York Times \nUpon its premiere at the National Theatre\, Betrayal was immediately recognized as a masterpiece. It won the Olivier Award for best new play\, and has since been performed all around the world and made into an Academy Award-nominated film starring Jeremy Irons\, Ben Kingsley\, and Patricia Hodge. Betrayal begins with a meeting between adulterous lovers\, Emma and Jerry\, two years after their affair has ended. During the nine scenes of the play\, we move back in time through the stages of their affair\, ending in the house of Emma and her husband Robert\, Jerry’s best friend. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.
