2025 Global Understanding Convention
2025-11-12 00:00 - 2025-11-13 23:59
The Global Understanding Convention Committee of the Institute for Global Understanding at Monmouth University is pleased to invite proposals from faculty, students, and staff for its biennial Global Understanding Convention. Proposals may include research papers, panels, colloquia (open classrooms), lectures, performances, art exhibitions, film presentations, and poster sessions. We will also host a Pearson World Cinema Series screening, poster contest, Fulbright and Global Studies presentations, keynote speech, luncheon speaker, global food bazaar, and music events.
The focus of this year’s Convention is a reflection on the United Nations’ Member States Declaration of 2025 as the “International Year of Peace and Trust.” The UN estimates that nearly 2 billion people live in communities impacted by conflict. The UN General Assembly resolution (A/RES/78/266) “Calls upon the international community to resolve conflicts through inclusive dialogue and negotiation … to ensure the strengthening of peace and trust in relations between Member States as a value that promotes sustainable development, peace and security, and human rights.”
Our two-day convention aims to engage in conversation and critical reflection on the ways that the Monmouth University campus community can work to support and sustain a culture of peace, dialogue, and trust in the region, the nation, and around the world. Proposals may cover topics that include, but are not limited to, education; communication, culture, and creativity; peace and conflict resolution; human rights and security; science, technology, and innovation; trade and development; health and well-being; sustainability and our common future; as well as social work and community engagement.

Found Animation
2025-11-12 13:15 - 15:15 | Rechnitz Hall 216, 400 Cedar Ave, West Long Branch, 07764, United States
Workshop
Corrie 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. Come and actively learn techniques for creating animation.
For more information, please contact Wobbe F. Koning, Associate Professor of Animation in the Department of Art and Design wkoning@monmouth.edu.
All events are free and open to the public.
