SUMMARY:British Invasion Part 2: First Wave\, 1963-1967
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays – December 7 & 14 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nAs the Beatles reached their first UK #1 hit with “Please Please Me\,” the new music revolution had officially begun.

It will cover genres from pop to the beginnings of psychedelia\, and will examine other acts such as the Who\, Dusty Springfield\, the Animals\, the Hollies\, and many more. In addition\, the class will study the impact of the First Wave on the charts and on American pop and rock music. Finally\, how did the First Wave set the stage for the psychedelic and hard rock sound of the Second Wave? \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Daniel Catán’s Florencia en el Amazonas

SUMMARY:The Third Annual Julian Abele “Out of the Shadows” Public History Symposium (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Public History Minor at Monmouth University \nThe Public History Minor at Monmouth University hosted the first annual Julian Francis Abele “Out of the Shadows” Virtual Public History Symposium via Zoom in 2021. Free for presenters and attendees alike\, the Symposium is intended as a welcoming place for public history practitioners at all levels\, established and emerging scholars\, and graduate and undergraduate students to share their public history work on individuals or groups in history whose legacies have been purposefully or inadvertently suppressed\, overshadowed\, or underappreciated. We hope to bring these parties out of the shadows and into the fuller appreciation that they so richly deserve. \nThe Symposium is named in honor of pioneering African American architect Julian Francis Abele\, who contributed greatly to the design of Monmouth University’s Great Hall (previously known as both Shadow Lawn and Wilson Hall). Everyone who has attended Monmouth University has personal memories of the building\, a National Historic Landmark. But if you ask them about it\, they are probably more likely to mention Woodrow Wilson’s brief time at the original Shadow Lawn (not “ours”)\, or the current mansion’s starring role as Daddy Warbucks’s home in the movie Annie than they are the fact that it was designed in large part by perhaps “the greatest American born Beaux-Arts architect\,” Julian Francis Abele. Monmouth University’s Fall 2020 Museums and Archives Management Basics class sought to increase awareness about Abele’s role in the creation of what is perhaps our University’s most beloved landmark by creating “The Julian Abele Project.” Now\, we hope to honor Abele’s name with this annual virtual public history symposium\, designed to bring regular attention to Abele’s story and to highlight work focused on other figures underrepresented in the historical record.

DESCRIPTION:The lives and experiences of students\, families\, faculty and professional staff who identify as first-generation are the subject of increased attention in higher education across the United States.

SUMMARY:Fighting Climate Change at Home: Homegrown National Park
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, Jan. 23\, 2024\, at 7 p.m. in Pollak Theater\, best selling author Doug Tallamy\, Ph.D.\, professor of Entomology at University of Delaware and author of Nature’s Best Hope and the Nature of Oaks will present on what you can do in your own yard or balcony to fight climate change\, create climate resiliency\, and create beauty in your own backyard. Fighting Climate Change at Home: Homegrown National Park will present listeners with a road map on how to fight climate change and create a more ecologically resilient landscape. \nToday\, there are more than 44 million acres of turf grass in the U.S.\, an area larger than New England. Turf grass is the worst plant choice for fighting climate change because it is the worst option for sequestering carbon. Our parks\, preserves\, and remaining wildlands—no matter how grand in scale—are too small to sequester the amount of carbon needed to impact climate change. Moreover\, they are also too small and separated from one another to sustain the native trees\, plants\, insects\, and animals on which our ecosystems depend. These systems must be resilient if we are to have climate resiliency. We now must store carbon outside of parks and preserves\, largely on private property\, where we live\, work\, shop\, and farm. Thus the concept for Homegrown National Park: a national challenge to create diverse ecosystems in our yards\, communities\, and surrounding lands by reducing lawn\, planting natives\, and removing invasive plants\, and\, in so doing\, fight the biodiversity crisis and climate change simultaneously. \nThe talk will be followed by Q&A and a book signing. The public is encouraged to bring their own copies of Tallamy books for signature. This will be the first presentation of the 2024 Climate Crisis Teach-in.
