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:Producing the Beatles
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays – March 6 & 13 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nBased on his acclaimed podcast\, Producing the Beatles\, Jason Kruppa explores the music of the Fab Four from the perspective of the one person whose point of view has never been properly and thoroughly examined: their producer\, George Martin. Using innovative techniques to break down their recordings\, we’ll discover how the Beatles went from learning their way around the studio to becoming masters of the art of recording\, with their producer working side by side with them each step of the way. And finally\, with re-recordings and detailed recreations of Martin’s orchestral scores that allow us to hear individual instrument parts\,\, we’ll learn how his arrangements enhanced and shaped the Beatles’ music. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

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:Current Status and Future of the Global Plastics Treaty (Presented by UCI\, Global Ocean Forum)
DESCRIPTION:The Monmouth University Urban Coast Institute (UCI) and Global Ocean Forum (GOF) will host the webinar “Current Status and Future of the Global Plastics Treaty” on Feb. 4 at 11 a.m. EST.

Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development Vision 2030. The webinars aim to mobilize civil society around critical ocean and climate action identified in the report on Assessing Progress on Ocean and Climate Action 2022-2023 (“ROCA” report). The ROCA report reviews progress made on climate and ocean initiatives\, making it a useful tool for discussion of strategies for achieving climate goals moving forward. Click here to watch the first webinar\, “Catalyzing Party and Community Action on Ocean\, Climate and BBNJ\,” held in April. \n\n\n\nThe ROCA Report identified plastics as a key issue impacting global marine systems.

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:Yacht Rock!
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays\, January  23 & 30| 7:30 – 9:00 PM\n\nThis two-session virtual course\, taught by Kit O’Toole\, explores the origins and rise of Yacht Rock\, the smooth R&B and jazz-inspired genre.\n\nThe term “Yacht Rock” exploded in popularity since the eponymous satirical web series debuted 20 years ago.

The first of two courses examines the roots of the genre—where did it originate\, who were its founders\, and how did it in popularity? Part one explores Yacht Rock from its earliest years through 1980. The class will sail the R&B and jazzy seas of smooth sounds through multimedia presentations and class discussion.\n\nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.
