SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Bruce Springsteen\, Born to Run
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Bruce Springsteen\, Born to Run. \nIn 2009\, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years\, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life\, bringing to these pages the same honesty\, humour and originality found in his songs.\n\nBorn to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen\, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers\, parents and children\, lovers and loners\, artists\, freaks or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (‘Thunder Road’\, ‘Badlands’\, ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’\, ‘The River’\, ‘Born in the U.S.A.’\, ‘The Rising’\, and ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’\, to name just a few)\, Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Supporting Systems and Communities in Achieving Racial Equality: A Groundwater Analysis - presented by Joyce James
DESCRIPTION:Voices for Change: Voting\, Advocacy\, and Action\nIn this presentation\, Ms. James will share her journey in developing the Texas Model for addressing Disproportionality and Disparities and the Groundwater Analysis for Addressing Racial Inequities© as the foundation for creating antiracist organizational cultures for undoing institutional and structural racism and improving outcomes for all populations. Participants will gain an increased understanding of the importance of cross systems collaborations and building partnerships with poor communities of color to remove the barriers that contribute to racial inequities. The session will include discussion of the pitfalls of well-meaning and well-intentioned leaders\, who in isolation of an analysis of institutional and structural racism\, and a racial equity lens\, continue to unconsciously contribute to sustaining and often perpetuating racial inequities in the design and delivery of programs and services.

SUMMARY:The Strengths of Black Families\, presented by Denise McLane-Davison
DESCRIPTION:Voices for Change: Voting\, Advocacy\, and Action\nThe political era of the Civil Rights\, Women’s Rights\, Gay Rights\, and The Black Power Movement demanded the inclusion of rigorous research that centered racial and gender identity as significant narratives. The emergence of Black Studies and Women’s Studies\, along with student-led and national organizations incorporating the same identity politics also demanded inclusion in intellectual landscapes. During this era Black social scientists blanketed the scholarship\, theory\, and treatment research that anchored African cultural values\, traditions\, knowledge\, and generational behaviors as disruptive characteristics of pathologized Black family rhetoric. Collectively\, cultural scholarship named the impact of adapting Black life to oppression and anti-Blackness policy. They declared the Black family as the fundamental source of strength of the Black community and as the defense for Black life from external threats. This session provides a historical and contemporary alignment on the Black strength perspective through racial pride\, resistance\, and resilience.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Octavia E. Butler\, Parable of the Sower
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower. \nThis acclaimed post-apocalyptic novel of hope and terror from an award-winning author “pairs well with 1984 or The Handmaid’s Tale” and includes a foreword by N. K. Jemisin (John Green\, New York Times). \nWhen global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s\, California becomes full of dangers\, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father\, family\, and neighbors\, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk\, she suffers from hyperempathy\, a debilitating sensitivity to others’ emotions. \nPrecocious and clear-eyed\, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. 

 \nPlease stay tuned for more details about an in-person location for this event when more information becomes available.

SUMMARY:Sam Cusumano
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual Arts-Engineering talk/performance/workshop with Sam Cusumano. Cusumano is an Engineer for the Arts living in Philadelphia working with students\, artists\, musicians\, and curators to create educational interactive electronic devices and installations. As part of his creative practice\, he has connected plants and fungi with synthesizers to make music. Biodata Sonification is the process of representing invisible changes in plants to create music. By detecting microcurrent fluctuations across the surface of a plant’s leaf\, these changes are used to generate MIDI notes which can be played through a synthesizer or computer to create sound. In this virtual presentation Sam Cusumano will explain methods used to tap into the secret life of plants\, showing how to translate data for making music\, and discuss the implications of interpreting biodata. Audio examples of Biodata Sonification will be performed live using analog synthesizers\, digital audio workstations\, and synth apps along with a Snake Plant\, large Monstera\, and various Cacti. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. \nFree and open to the public\, but registration is required. \nThis event is being recorded for educational and archival purposes and it may be posted on our website. By participating in this presentation\, you give permission for Monmouth University to record the presentation for University purposes. You understand that your name\, likeness\, voice and statements may be recorded. If you do not wish to be recorded\, a recording of this presentation will later be available upon request\, and you can contact Amanda Stojanov\, Assistant Professor of Digital Media (astojano@monmouth.edu) with any questions you may have regarding the presentation.

They don’t speak anymore\, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling. \nThen Kacey disappears\, suddenly\, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey’s district\, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit—and her sister—before it’s too late. \nAlternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters’ childhood and adolescence\, Long Bright River is at once heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: a gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters\, addiction\, and the formidable ties that persist between place\, family\, and fate. \n“[Moore’s] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love.” – The New York Times Book Review\n\nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person.
