  • The Wayne D. McMurray School of Humanities and Social Sciences Distinguished Speaker Series

    In 2004, the first public exhumation of a mass grave in Andalucía, Spain took place in the province of Cádiz, bringing to light the buried history of repression under the Franco dictatorship. Professor Cate-Arries’ lecture focuses on the oral testimonies she has recorded with family members of the civilian victims who were “disappeared” by the regime in 1936. She examines how private mourning practices, personal objects of memory, and stories once told behind closed doors preserved a collective memory of the losers of a civil war who decades ago fought for the democratic ideals embraced by today’s Spain.

  • What Lies Beneath: Barnegat Bay

The event, titled “What Lies Beneath: Barnegat Bay,” will feature presentations by three groups of researchers who worked on the study.

    The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) initiated the study to determine the sources and extent of environmental problems in the bay, and identify actions that could be taken to slow and ultimately reverse the bay’s decline.
