  • The Beatles, Rubber Soul

    It’s just like book club but with albums! With new advances in technology, the way we consume music through our devices, apps and on demand streaming services like Pandora, Spotify and iTunes is making the idea of the “album” as an art form extinct. Get together with other music enthusiasts on Tuesday nights to discuss some of the greatest records of all-time! Listen to the album beforehand and then come prepared to discuss. This event will feature Rubber Soul.

    This event is offered BOTH in person and via Zoom. Join us in person at the Great Hall Auditorium on the Campus of Monmouth University or join us via zoom. When you register you will be provided the ZOOM meeting link to join the conversation.

    Free and open to the public, but registration is required.

  • Organized Crime and Abortion (Works in Progress Seminar)

    Presenter: Katherine Parkin, Ph.D., Professor, Department of History and Anthropology; Jules Plangere, Jr., Endowed Chair in American Social History

    Organized crime played a role in the experience of many securing, providing, and paying for abortions before they were legalized. The high rates for the procedure made illegal abortion in the 1960s the third largest moneymaker for organized crime. However, most studies by historians, criminologists, and sociologists have not considered how, where, and when organized criminals and their accomplices profited from abortion. This study of organized crime includes those providing abortions and lending money nationally, including relatives of Frank Sinatra and Drea de Matteo (“The Sopranos”) who provided illegal abortions in New York City.

  • STEMming from Punk Rock (Works in Progress Seminar)

    Presenter: Jeffrey H. Weisburg, Ph.D., Specialist Professor, Department of Biology

    Punk rock usually conjures images of teenagers or young adults (you know, the dregs of society) with spiked, colorful hair, tattoos, piercing, wearing ripped jeans, Doc Martin combat boots, dancing violently to bass-pounding music in a hot and sweaty, small music venue. Ph.D. in the sciences, engineers, and pre-med students are the furthest thing that comes to mind. Three lead singers of landmark punk bands have Ph.D.s in biology; Milo Aukerman of the Descendents (Biology), Greg Graffin of Bad Religion (Zoology), and Dexter Holland of the Offsprings (Molecular Biology). Several other punk rock artists also have graduate degrees in biology and engineering. This leads to the scientific question that needs to be examined and answered: What is the connection between punk rock and science? Is there something in the water? Is it genetics? Is it a chemical reaction that occurs when two people in the circle pit collide? All possibilities for this question will be investigated.
