SUMMARY:Don't Stop Believin': Race and Class in Rock Music
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Tuesdays – February 20 & 27 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nSince exploding on the scene in the late 1970s\, Journey has inspired generations of fans with hit after hit. This two-session virtual course taught by David Hamilton Golland dispels rehashed myths and also shows how race and class in popular music contributed to their breakout success. As the economy collapsed and as people abandoned the spirit of Woodstock in the late 70s\, Journey used the rhythm of soul and Motown to inspire hope in primarily white teenagers’ lives. Decades later\, the band and their signature song remain classics\, and now\, with singer Arnel Pineda\, they are again a fixture in major stadiums worldwide. \nDavid Hamilton Golland is a historian\, professor\, and writer with a wide background in twentieth-century social and cultural history. He is dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Monmouth University and founder of The Journey Zone (journey-zone.com)\, the leading source for all things Journey over two decades. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

At 18\, diving headfirst into the New York entertainment industry\, Barnes began with styling photoshoots and working backstage at fashion shows. He spent some time in Paris\, enchanted by the European fashion and art scenes\, and is influenced by the time to this day. \nMixing his background in music\, theater\, art\, and fashion\, the Pussy Noir character developed into an androgynous entity within the nightclub circuit; later\, museums and galleries around the city. A popular act in the D.C. region\, Barnes continues to culture his brand by giving the audience exuberant energy during performances and providing a gender-queer imagery inviting the audience to have a full sensory experience during their/his performances. Barnes has made appearances and performed in many groundbreaking shows and events. He also produces and performs in a “one-woman” cabaret at Trade\, now in its third-year run. \nhttps://www.kennedy-center.org/artists/n/no-nz/Pussy-Noir/ \nVictoria Reis is a curator\, writer\, and arts organizer who has been actively supporting contemporary visual artists and arts organizations within local\, national\, and international contexts since 1991. \nIn 2002\, Reis co-founded Transformer\, an internationally recognized non-profit visual arts organization based in Washington\, DC. Since 2006\, Reis has been leading Transformer as its Executive & Artistic Director\, curating and presenting substantial exhibitions and programs in support of emerging artists\, innovative cultural production\, and new & best practices within contemporary visual art. Reis has established comprehensive cultural partnerships & collaborations with an extensive range of arts\, educational\, and diplomatic organizations and institutions. She has launched and advanced the careers of several hundred artists. \nIn May 2017\, Reis expanded Transformer’s programming to include Siren Arts\, an Asbury Park-based summer residency program for emerging visual artists working within the performance art discipline. Reis is a Founding Member of Common Field\, a national network of art spaces and artist-led initiatives. She has been a member of ArtTable since 2000.

SUMMARY:Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. One of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century\, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, Jan. 23\, 2024\, at 7 p.m. in Pollak Theater\, best selling author Doug Tallamy\, Ph.D.\, professor of Entomology at University of Delaware and author of Nature’s Best Hope and the Nature of Oaks will present on what you can do in your own yard or balcony to fight climate change\, create climate resiliency\, and create beauty in your own backyard. Fighting Climate Change at Home: Homegrown National Park will present listeners with a road map on how to fight climate change and create a more ecologically resilient landscape. \nToday\, there are more than 44 million acres of turf grass in the U.S.\, an area larger than New England. Turf grass is the worst plant choice for fighting climate change because it is the worst option for sequestering carbon. Our parks\, preserves\, and remaining wildlands—no matter how grand in scale—are too small to sequester the amount of carbon needed to impact climate change. Moreover\, they are also too small and separated from one another to sustain the native trees\, plants\, insects\, and animals on which our ecosystems depend. These systems must be resilient if we are to have climate resiliency. We now must store carbon outside of parks and preserves\, largely on private property\, where we live\, work\, shop\, and farm. Thus the concept for Homegrown National Park: a national challenge to create diverse ecosystems in our yards\, communities\, and surrounding lands by reducing lawn\, planting natives\, and removing invasive plants\, and\, in so doing\, fight the biodiversity crisis and climate change simultaneously. \nThe talk will be followed by Q&A and a book signing. The public is encouraged to bring their own copies of Tallamy books for signature. This will be the first presentation of the 2024 Climate Crisis Teach-in.

SUMMARY:Navigating Imposter Syndrome in Your Career\, with Becca Baier '12
DESCRIPTION:Alumni Speaker Series\nNov. 9\, 2023\, at Noon \n\nWhat happens when you are faced with imposter syndrome? Whether you are about to graduate\, you are currently employed\, or you want to switch career fields\, we’ve all felt it. That voice in your head tells you that you don’t have the experience or qualifications. How do you “fake it ’til you make it” in a place you’re worried you’ll be found out? \nAlmost 2 years ago\, Becca Baier ’12 transitioned from a higher education professional to the corporate world; these were some of her many thoughts along the way. Whether you’re thinking about changing career fields or just struggling with those loud voices in your head\, let’s talk about what we didn’t know we all experience now and then: imposter syndrome. \nAbout the Speaker\nA proud Monmouth Hawk\, Baier has a B.S. in Mathematics and M.A. in Higher Education Student Personnel. She went to Ole Miss for grad school\, and during her eight years working in higher education\, she worked at Rider University and Rutgers-New Brunswick. In January 2022\, Baier made the career leap to corporate\, where she now works at Paramount Global in Human Resources. After her first year and a half\, she made a jump within Paramount to a new team and continues to experience that thing we can’t seem to avoid in life—change! \nOutside of work\, Baier is the founder and director of The Celebrate Life Foundation\, a NJ 501(c)3 nonprofit organization\, and is a certified life & career coach. She loves spending time with her family and friends\, lives on the beach (right by campus!)\, and has a knack for organizing and color-coding.

SUMMARY:Inviting Motion  (Sabbatical project Wobbe F. Koning)
DESCRIPTION:Inviting Motion\nBe invited by motion. What will you give up by giving in? \nInviting Motion is an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) experience with themes of enticing\, luring\, attention grabbing\, and having to give something up when we give into attractions. \nTalk: 11:45am-12:30pm | The Great Hall Auditorium\nDemo: Experience Inviting Motion – 12:35pm-1:30pm & 2:50pm-4:30pm | Demo: IDM Lab (Plangere 135)\n\nThe Experience \nAfter going through a simple onboarding process to calibrate and tweak the experience\, you\, the user\, are initially tasked with finding a human form in the noise of particles that surround you. After your attention is grabbed\, you will be invited\, and then teased a little. You can enjoy exploring the interactions\, but what are you giving away? Are you being scrutinized? \nThe experience generally last about 5 to 10 minutes \nAbout the Project \nAs part of his Sabbatical from Monmouth University\, Wobbe F. Koning returned to his alma mater The Ohio State University and worked with the community at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) to produce this VR experience. Motion Capture was used to create the attention grabbing and inviting motions\, which are sparsely represented (using a limited amount of points) but are still instantly recognizable as human. \nThe project was a collaboration\, and took shape as a result of the interactions with the ACCAD community. \nBios:\nWobbe F. Koning is an award winning animator and digital artist often combining 3D Computer Animation and video with audio to create mostly linear single channel works. Next to creating 3D printed stop motion animations\, he has been exploring Virtual Reality (VR) as a medium\, experimenting with different approaches while relying on his experience as filmmaker. Though not in his nature\, he has been letting go of the total control the creator has over linear storytelling\, and in stead embraced the interactive nature of VR. \nEarlier work includes on-stage videos for dance performances\, and multi screen installations.

SUMMARY:The Mind and Music of George Gershwin - Live Concert Lecture by Dr. Richard Kogan
DESCRIPTION:Listening to the deft integration of jazz rhythms and classical music in Rhapsody in Blue or the often-wrenching songs of Porgy and Bess\, it’s jarring to think of their composer as a troubled youth\, a juvenile delinquent\, petty thief and high school dropout who\, in a latter era\, might have been prescribed a hefty dose of Ritalin or Adderall. But George Gershwin was saved by a school violin recital he’d tried to avoid attending – and it opened a door that allowed him to escape the predictable ignominy of a bad boy on the streets of Brooklyn. He was\, then\, a person reached – and made better – by music. \nDr. Richard Kogan joins us to discuss the life\, psyche and music of one of America’s greatest composers during an evening that integrates masterful piano playing\, humor and insight into the close links between music\, healing and genius. Trained in piano at Juilliard and in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School\, Dr. Kogan is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry\, Co-Director of the Human Sexuality Program at Weill Cornell Medical Center and Artistic Director of the Music and Medicine program. He also maintains a private practice in New York City.

SUMMARY:Bram Stoker's Dracula: Was he actually Irish?
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Tuesday Oct. 31 & Thursday November. 2 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nThe Gothic horror novel Dracula has never been out of print since its publication in 1897; yet\, the book’s Dublin-born author\, Bram Stoker\, is virtually unknown.
