SUMMARY:Bring in Da Funk\, Part I
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays – September 12 & 19 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \n“On the one”—James Brown often defined funk as a groove\, emphasizing the first beat\, using the ‘one-two-three-four’ downbeat.

How did the genre develop\, and who were the central figures in the history of funk? This two-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole will trace funk through its blues\, jazz\, soul\, New Orleans\, and R&B roots. The class will culminate in discussing\, among other funk pioneers\, three of the music’s most important figures: Brown\, Sly and the Family Stone\, and George Clinton. The course includes multimedia presentations and class discussions. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India.

But when their fates tangle with those of Cecil Fielding and his local friend\, Dr. Aziz\, at the nearby Marabar Caves\, the community of Chandrapore is split wide open and everyone’s life—British and Indian alike—is inexorably altered. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Don't Stop Believin': Race and Class in Rock Music
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Tuesdays – February 20 & 27 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nSince exploding on the scene in the late 1970s\, Journey has inspired generations of fans with hit after hit.

He is dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Monmouth University and founder of The Journey Zone (journey-zone.com)\, the leading source for all things Journey over two decades. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. One of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century\, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.
