The Eighth Biennial International Interdisciplinary Conference on Race
2024-11-07 00:00 - 2024-11-09 23:59 | Various Campus Locations
Race and the Freedom to Learn
Cosponsored by the William Monroe Trotter Institute for the Study of Black Culture at UMass Boston
Location: Monmouth University Campus
The freedom to learn has been inextricably linked to race across time and space. From the era of enslavement in the Americas to book burning in Nazi Germany down to the present humans around the globe have demanded the freedom to learn as a fundamental human right. This right to learn is intrinsically linked to race, gender, sexuality, and class -the denial of which diminishes society while threatening democracy. Denying groups and individuals the right to learn impacts everyone in society and oftentimes involves the censoring of curriculum, arrest of educators, and book banning or book burning. The freedom to learn has been particularly denied to marginalized communities including people of color, women, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
In November 2024, the International Interdisciplinary Conference on Race will focus on “Race and the Freedom to Learn” and invites papers from a range of disciplines, including history, anthropology, education, gender studies, ethnic studies, sociology, and other disciplines that have grappled with this subject. We welcome individual papers or complete panels from scholars, educators, artists, and activists whose work is related to race, its intersections, and the freedom to learn in history, society, and culture. We also seek papers from international scholars and offer a few travel stipends to scholars traveling from abroad to attend the conference.

The Big Event - Day of Community Service
2024-11-09 09:00 - 14:00
Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Giving back to those who need help is what the Big Event is all about.
The Big Event is the single largest community service project that takes place at Monmouth University every year. Every fall, approximately 200 to 400 members of the Monmouth University community sign up to be a volunteer at one of the 10 to 25 Big Event work sites in the towns that surround campus.
The Big Event has become somewhat of a national phenomenon at a number of colleges and universities throughout the United States. It originated at Texas A&M University in 1982 when 6 students felt the need to give something back to the communities of College Station and Bryan Texas.
During the Spring 2000 semester, members of Monmouth University’s Student Government Association attended the Conference of Student Government Associations (COSGA) at Texas A&M where our Senators learned all about the Big Event. They decided it was a program that should be brought back to the Monmouth community.
Twenty four years later, the Monmouth University Big Event has become a signature program for SGA. The Big Event is held in fall and anyone affiliated with Monmouth University is encouraged to become a Big Event volunteer. If you are a member of a club, organization, fraternity/sorority, athletic team, department, office, or all by yourself, we hope you will want to join the Big Event volunteer team.
Would you like to become a Big Event volunteer? Contact SGA by calling 732-571-3484 or email SGA@monmouth.edu.

The Mind and Music of Leonard Bernstein with Dr. Richard Kogan
2024-11-09 20:00 - 22:00 | Pollak Theatre
Leonard Bernstein, renowned for his dynamic conducting and compositions like “West Side Story,” remains a towering figure in 20th-century music. Explore the fascinating intersection of Bernstein’s genius and the mind with Dr. Richard Kogan in a TED-like lecture and piano performance. Trained at Juilliard in piano and Harvard Medical School in psychiatry, Dr. Kogan, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Artistic Director of the Music and Medicine program at Weill Cornell Medical Center, offers a unique perspective.
Richard Kogan’s concert lecture audiences hear him recount Bernstein’s life “from his first cigarette to his last dying day”, interspersing oral history and anecdote with performances of “Somewhere”, “Maria”, “Tonight”, “One Hand, One Heart”, “America” and more. Dr. Kogan offers a psychiatric perspective on Bernstein’s complex personality in this program as well. He identifies Bernstein as a man of voracious appetites, the satisfaction of which caused enormous guilt. Still, Dr. Kogan points to Bernstein’s remarkable capacity to sustain contradictions. He cites Bernstein’s balancing of the tensions between elite and mass appeal, between emotions and the intellect and between tradition and innovation. Dr. Kogan contrasts these with Bernstein’s irreconcilable bisexual conflicts and his struggles to balance the life of a composer and the life of a performer.
