SUMMARY:Native American Boarding School Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This symposium provides a space for generative conversations on what we know about Native American boarding schools and what that knowledge means. Join us in exploring the 20th-century history of North American Indian boarding schools in this two-day symposium\, featuring speakers\, workshops\, and film. \nAbout the Symposium\nIn the late-19th and early-20th century\, throughout the United States and Canada\, federal governments created boarding schools for Native American youth. Student experiences at each school varied\, depending on living conditions\, curriculum\, and who oversaw the school (churches\, federal employees\, trained teachers\, etc.). The boarding schools tried to strip children of their Indigenous culture\, agency\, and family. The white administrators forcibly cut children’s hair\, sacred to many\, and required that they only wear western clothing instead of their traditional clothing. In many schools\, students were expected to adhere to strict rules that helped repress the expression of Indigenous culture. In most schools\, for example\, children could only speak English\, a language completely unfamiliar to them. Failure to adhere to rules and complete assigned work could result in severe punishment. The schools subjected the children to inadequate diets\, rampant disease\, overwork\, and overcrowding\, which along with the poor building and living conditions resulted in poor health and even death.  \nThe governments of Canada and the United States left the history of Native American boarding schools unacknowledged until relatively recently. Stephen Harper\, the prime minister of Canada\, made a formal apology for the implementation of boarding school systems and the trauma they produced in 2008\, with President Joe Biden making the United States’ national apology in 2024.  \nThis symposium brings together scholars who have worked with the history of Native American Boarding Schools in North America. The goal of this symposium is to spark conversation on what is known about Native American boarding schools and what this knowledge means. The Native American Boarding School Symposium will be hosted March 26–27 on Monmouth University’s campus.  \nThe Native American Boarding School Symposium would not be possible without the generous help of the Diversity Innovation Grant from the Intercultural Center at Monmouth University. We are grateful for this grant and thank all of the co-sponsors of this event: the Office of the Provost\, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences\, the School of Education\, the Leon Hess Business School\, the Department of English\, the Department of Criminal Justice\, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction\, the Intercultural Center\, the Department of History and Anthropology\, and the Program in Gender and Intersectionality Studies.

SUMMARY:Comedic Improv with Michael O'Keeffe
DESCRIPTION:Location: Pollak Gallery\n\nComedic improvisation is the true playground of the theatre! Students gain confidence while acquiring skills that allow them to create scenes and stories using nothing but their imaginations and each other – all completely on-the-spot! \n\nThere are some fascinating opposites inherent in improvisation: \n\n• In order to look good you must make others look good. \n• In order to be safe you must take risks. \n• To be self reliant you must trust others. \nTo be able to succeed you must be willing to fail good-naturedly.\n\nWe will explore these concepts along with others\, including teamwork\, focus\, concentration\, mistakes as gifts\, relaxation\, being changed\, listening/observing\, re-incorporation\, comedic timing\, etc.\, etc.\, etc… \n\nWe will be doing structured exercises and games (just like “Whose Line is it Anyway?”)  as a whole group as well as in pairs and trios. We will work on going with our first idea while supporting our partner’s ideas. We will practice trusting our instincts and taking risks in a safe\, fun and playful atmosphere.

SUMMARY:Sparkle & Shine a Studio 54: Celebrating the Resilient Voices of Women in Music
DESCRIPTION:Free Registration on Eventbrite This Women’s History Month\, a powerful new movement takes center stage to honor the architects of sound and soul. Women In Music\, Monmouth University’s collegiate chapter\, proudly announces an inspiring evening of dialogue\, connection\, and music inspired by the era of disco\, dedicated to the women who are not just participating in the music industry but actively redefining it. “Sparkle & Shine a Studio 54: Celebrating the Resilient Voices of Women in Music” addresses a critical industry gap. While women’s presence on the charts is rising\, executive representation remains stagnant. This gathering serves as both a sanctuary and a strategic hub designed to turn those artistic gains into institutional power. \nNavigating the Rhythm of the Industry\n\nThe heart of the event features a deep-dive panel discussion on the unique journey of women in music. From smashing the “glass ceiling” of the charts to navigating the complexities of technical production and business management\, our speakers will share raw\, heartwarming\, and triumphant accounts of their careers. The discussion will focus on the power of mentorship\, the importance of creative sovereignty\, and the magic that happens when women choose to “build the table” rather than just pull up a chair. \n\n\nFeatured Panelists & Moderator\n\n\nWe are honored to welcome a powerhouse lineup of industry leaders: \n\n\n\n\nJenna Gaudio\, Co-President of Vydia\n\n\n\nSkylar Rupperecht\, Operations Producer at Respective Collective\n\n\n\nHeather de Armas\, COO of Not Dead Yet Media\n\n\n\nKaren Louisa Gross\, Moderator & Founder of She Rocked It Media Productions\n\n\n\n\nA Celebration of Legacy\n\n\n\n“Women have always been the heartbeat of music history\, even when our voices are being overshadowed\,” says Joleen Amer\, event creative director. “Holding this event during Women’s History Month isn’t just about looking back at the icons who paved the way; it’s about fueling the fire for the women who are writing the next verse right now.” \n\n\n\nThe event will conclude with a networking mixer designed to foster lifelong collaborations and live performances by Joleen Amer\, Antonia Bongiorno\, and Marley Bell. \nMedia Contact\nRashida Scott-Cruz (WIMMU Faculty Advisor): rcruz@monmouth.edu\, or 848-207-8217 \n\n

SUMMARY:Heightened Scrutiny
DESCRIPTION:HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY follows Chase Strangio\, ACLU attorney and the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court\, as he fights a high-stakes legal battle to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth (United States v. Skrmetti). \nThe film exposes the dangerous role of mainstream media in fueling anti-trans legislation\, uncovering how biased coverage drives hate\, endangers lives\, and threatens democracy itself. With insights from journalists like Jelani Cobb\, Lydia Polgreen\, and Gina Chua\, and activists like Laverne Cox\, the story dismantles anti-trans disinformation and highlights its devastating real-world impact. \nWith the dangerous SCOTUS decision upholding the ban on life-saving healthcare\, HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice. \nTo learn more about the documentary\, please visit: https://www.heightenedscrutinydoc.com/ \nThis event is sponsored by the Intercultural Center\, Program on Gender & Intersectionality Studies (PGIS)\, ArtNOW: Performance\, Art\, and Technology & Department of Communication.

SUMMARY:'60s Girl Groups\, Part I
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: January 22\, 27\, & 29\, 2026 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nThe 1960s may be remembered for the British Invasion\, soul\, and the birth of the Beatles and art rock. However\, the early-to-mid 1960s is also known for its “girl groups\,” trios or quartets singing Brill Building compositions and other pop.  Motown also perfected the girl group formula\, with the Supremes reigning as one of the most successful and influential acts of the 1960s. Indeed\, the girl group tradition continues today with Fifth Harmony\, Blackpink\, and many others.  However\, the genre’s roots extend back even further\, to the 1960s. \n\n\nPart one of the “Girl Groups” course will trace the beginnings of these acts\, with the 1920s and 1930s producing singers such as the Andrews Sisters and the Boswell Sisters.  By the 1950s the McGuire Sisters and the Chordettes picked up the baton\, lending a pop sheen to an otherwise jazz-dominated genre.  The early 1960s kicked off the genre’s peak\, with UK and US acts such as the Vernons Girls\, the Shirelles\, and the Shangri-Las scoring hits on the charts. Perhaps no one defined the early girl group era like Phil Spector\, who produced such groups as the Ronettes and the Crystals. The course will explore these roots and the earliest girl group successes through multimedia presentations and discussion. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Disco Inferno!\, Part II
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: December 11\, 16\, & 18\, 2025 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nBy the late 1970s\, disco dominated the airwaves and conquered film\, television\, advertising\, and fashion. Its ubiquity\, however\, led to an inevitable backlash in the form of Chicago’s infamous “Disco Demolition Night” event at Comiskey Park.  Did that signal the end of the genre?  Hardly—it merely changed labels\, transforming its sound and becoming “House” or “Electronic Dance Music (EDM).”  In the present day\, artists such as Dua Lipa\, Beyoncé\, and Sabrina Carpenter have incorporated the sound into their own music. \n\n\nPart two of Disco Inferno continues the journey through the history of disco\, moving from the late 1970s peak into House music and through the present day.  How did disco evolve through the 1970s?  How did the genre alter music and popular culture?  Why has the music endured?  All of these questions will be explored through multimedia presentations and class discussions.  Students will learn about the peak of disco and its longevity\, key artists\, and how the genre evolved into House and EDM.

SUMMARY:Frame by Frame: Finding Animation in Unexpected Places
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk\nCorrie Francis Parks brings life to the inanimate through frame-by-frame manipulation of physical materials. With one hand under the camera and the other on the computer keyboard\, her films and installations maintain an organic connection to traditional production methods while fully integrating digital technology. She is Associate Professor of Visual Arts at University of Maryland\, Baltimore County (UMBC). Her book\, Fluid Frames: Experimental Animation with Sand\, Clay\, Paint and Pixels\, explores the tactile nature of moving malleable materials directly under the camera\, bringing together traditional and digital workflow through interviews with contemporary animators and workshop-style exercises. \nArtist Bio\nCorrie Francis Parks is an inventor of animation techniques. Adopting an investigative studio practice where subject collides with substance\, each project builds upon the discoveries made in the previous\, making the arduous process of frame-by-frame creation engaging.  The results of this studio research manifest not only in short films\, but in expanded animation projects that involve projection mapping\, site-specific installations\, augmented reality and collage. \nIn addition to her award-winning short films\, which have screened at Annecy\, Hiroshima\, Ottawa\, Zagreb\, and other major festivals around the world\, Parks has created projection-based installations for Light City Baltimore (2016)\, International Media Art Biennial SEE DJERBA in Tunisia (2019)\, UnDARK Festival in Russia (2019)\, “The People’s Projector” at the Daniels & Fisher Tower in Denver (2021)\, and the Water Light Festival in Italy (2024). \nParks has been artist in residence at the MacDowell Colony\, Bogliasco Foundation\, subnet Austria\, Fundación Valparaíso and Klondike Goldrush International Historic Park. She has received Fulbright Fellowships to New Zealand and Austria and is a recipient of a 2019 Maryland Individual Artist Award. Her book\, Fluid Frames: Experimental Animation with Sand\, Clay\, Paint and Pixels (2016) explores the tactile nature of moving malleable materials directly under the camera\, bringing together traditional and digital workflow through interviews with contemporary animators and workshop-style exercises. \nParks has been creating animation since her teenage years. She designed her own major in Animation at Dartmouth College (2001) and subsequently received her MFA in Animation and Digital Arts from University of Southern California (2006). She is now an Associate Professor of Visual Arts at University of Maryland\, Baltimore County (UMBC)\, where she encourages animation students to expand their understanding of the art of movement.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Mental Health: Fostering Hope and Connection
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Climate Crisis Teach-In 2025\nThis presentation explores the growing mental health impacts of climate change\, with a focus on community-level strategies that promote resilience\, hope\, and collective agency. Drawing on emerging research and best practices\, it highlights how climate anxiety and ecological grief—particularly among Gen Z—are shaped by systemic inequities\, uncertainty\, and disruption. The session emphasizes the importance of intergenerational dialogue\, mutual aid\, and relational care in fostering emotional support and wellbeing. Participants will be introduced to tools\, resources\, and evidence-informed approaches for creating communities of care where climate-related emotions are validated and shared. Together\, we will envision how interdisciplinary groups and diverse professionals can build climate-responsive mental health systems grounded in justice\, connection\, and collective action. \nRachel Forbes\, MSW (’11M)\, is the community outreach and engagement specialist at the Urban Coast Institute at Monmouth University. Forbes’s current research and teaching examines the impacts of climate change on mental health and protective factors at the community level. Her work has been published in environmental justice and human rights journals\, and has been funded by the CSWE Katherine A. Kendall Institute for International Social Work and the Hispanic Access Foundation. She is editor of the award winning book “Ecosocial Work: Environmental Practice and Advocacy” (NASW Press 2023).

SUMMARY:Regional Sustainable Economic Development around the Globe
DESCRIPTION:Monmouth University and the McMullen Family invite submissions for the first annual workshop on “Regional Sustainable Economic Development around the Globe”\, on June 6–7\, 2025. The workshop is co-organized by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission\, the Institute of Global Business and Society at TH Köln\, and CED (Center for Economic Development & Social Change). \nClimate change\, and the responses in both the public and private sector have led to an increasing presence of sustainability in all parts of the economy. Much attention is given to the analysis on the global and national level\, while also at the regional level these challenges need to be addressed. According to the OECD (2023)\, “quality regional development policy is essential for inclusive economic outcomes\, well-being\, environmental sustainability\, and resilience. Regions\, cities and rural areas play a crucial role in responding to megatrends including climate change\, digitalization\, demographic shifts\, and globalization.” The workshop aims to bring together academics\, policymakers and industry representatives to discuss these challenges and to learn from each other.

SUMMARY:Hernan Diaz\, Trust
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Hernan Diaz’s Trust. \nWINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION\nA NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \nEven through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s\, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together\, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds\, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit. \nHernan Diaz’s TRUST elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another—and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.
