In April, she was invited to attend a White House event called Helping Our Children Explore, Learn, and Dream Without Limits: Breaking Down Gender Stereotypes in Media and Toys. There, she spoke about her research on how children\u2019s interactions with toys and media can have profound, lifelong effects. While at the White House, Dr. Dinella met women who are in positions to put her research into action, women like Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to the President, Sarah Hurwitz, speechwriter for Mrs. Obama, and Rosemary Truglio, Vice President of Education and Research for the Children\u2019s Television Workshop. It was Ms. Truglio who invited Dr. Dinella to travel this September to Sesame Workshop. There, the professor had an opportunity to present her research to writers, marketers, and educators, \u201cpeople,\u201d she said, \u201cfrom all divisions of Sesame Workshop, including digital media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Dinella says that Sesame Workshop wants to learn \u201chow to engage kids without gender labels,\u201d and she made recommendations to them based on the research she has done here at Monmouth. These recommendations include reducing the labelling of kids\u2019 toys and activities as either \u201cfor boys\u201d or \u201cfor girls,\u201d normalizing \u201ccross-gender\u201d play, and showing boys and men in \u201cnurturing\u201d roles. Women, says Dr. Dinella, have made great strides in recent decades by becoming more \u201cmasculine,\u201d but gender equity will also require men to become more \u201cfeminine.\u201d Awareness of these gender roles begins as early as preschool, so it\u2019s important for organizations like Sesame Workshop to consider the images they present to the youngest viewers.<\/p>\n<p>For Dr. Dinella, Monmouth undergraduates have served both as research subjects in her work on media portrayals of princesses and superheroes, and as invaluable research assistants. Her student research assistants do field work, write up research findings, and even help present at conferences. Everyone who visited Sesame Workshop, however, is sworn to secrecy about what the next season\u2019s programming holds. \u201cBut I promise,\u201d Dr. Dinella said, \u201cthat it will be cool!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story\">\n<h2 id=\"festival\">Dr. Paul Humphrey Attends Festival del Caribe in Cuba<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/cuba.jpg\" alt=\"Scene from a parade during the Festival del Caribe: Fiesta del Fuego\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"intro\">This summer\u2019s renowned \u201cFestival del Caribe: Fiesta del Fuego,\u201d in Santiago de Cuba, featured a speaker from Monmouth University: Professor Paul Humphrey of the World Languages Department. The Festival, with its focus on the religious and cultural practices of the Caribbean, is \u201cboth academic and fun,\u201d reported Dr. Humphrey. His research focuses on gender, sexuality, and African-derived religions in Caribbean literature, and he spoke at the Festival\u2019s Popular Religions Workshop about Rita Indiana\u2019s novel, La mucama de Omicunl\u00e9, a work \u201cstressing pan-Caribbean unity and recognizing differences.\u201d However, both outside the Festival and as part of it, Dr. Humphrey had time to continue his research into Vodou and Santar\u00eda. In Havana he even had the opportunity to stay with a Santaria priestess. He said that some Cubans wonder about his interest in Vodou, which they see as darker and more dangerous than Santar\u00eda, but Dr. Humphrey says he has a \u201cfascination with studying these cultural aspects and how they influence literature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Humphrey, who, as a citizen of the UK, has travelled to Cuba several times with relative ease, says he sees changes in the country since the easing of US travel restrictions and the arrival of the Internet. But he says \u201cit seems like it has changed on a personal level. On a wider level it hasn\u2019t changed.\u201d He described seeing groups of Cubans crowded around \u201cwireless spots\u201d in Havana, where they could access the Internet for about two dollars per hour. That\u2019s still a lot for some Cubans, where goods remain hard to find and the attitude of \u201cmaking do\u201d is still prevalent. He reported seeing tattoos and new hairstyles on this visit, as well as people wearing clothing with the American flag, in honor of Obama\u2019s visit to the island in March. Although travelers from the US still face some hurdles in going to Cuba, Dr. Humphrey was glad to report that this year\u2019s Caribbean Festival included an American delegation. And he is hopeful that someday in the not-too-distant future even student groups might be able to study and learn in Cuba.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story\">\n<h2 id=\"art\">Art of 1973 Chilean Coup on Display at Guggenheim Library<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_609\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-609\" style=\"width: 712px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-609 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/road-to-victory.jpeg\" alt=\"Image shows one of the works presented during the exhibit Memorias--Geography of a Decade: Chile 1973-1983\" width=\"712\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/road-to-victory.jpeg 712w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/road-to-victory-300x176.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/road-to-victory-560x329.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/road-to-victory-280x164.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/road-to-victory-320x188.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/road-to-victory-640x376.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/road-to-victory-360x211.jpeg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-609\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the works presented during the exhibit Memorias&#8211;Geography of a Decade: Chile 1973-1983<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"intro\">In observance of Hispanic Heritage Month, Dra. Priscilla Gac-Artigas, of the World Language Department, and her husband, the Chilean writer Gustavo Gac-Artigas, mounted an exhibit in the Guggenheim Library entitled Memorias\u2014Geography of a Decade: Chile 1973-1983. The serigraphs, paintings, and photographs in the exhibit had not been seen in almost 35 years, and they had never before been displayed in the United States. They were exhibited in Europe and Northern Africa after the 1973 coup which overthrew Salvador Allende\u2019s government in Chile. Dra. Gac-Artigas was delighted with the support she received from Monmouth\u2019s Hispanic Heritage Committee and from the Library in planning for the exhibit. \u201cMonmouth is my community, my home,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s so important that the exhibit was so welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit\u2019s serigraphs and posters included works by Jos\u00e9 Balmes, Guillermo N\u00fa\u00f1ez, Gracia Barrios (three Chilean National Art award winners),\u00a0Joan Mir\u00f3,\u00a0Alejandro Marcos, Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Eduardo Berroeta and Jack Ottaviano. The striking photographs were taken at the time of the coup in Chile by photojournalists with the Gamma agency, one of the most renowned press agencies in the world in the seventies.<\/p>\n<p>The last play performed in Chile before the coup, Libertad, Libertad, was directed by Gustavo Gac-Artigas, who had responded to a call from poet Pablo Neruda for Chilean artists and intellectuals to oppose Pinochet through their work, by speaking for \u201cthe people who have no voice.\u201d Because of his opposition, Gac-Artigas was jailed and eventually forced to flee to France. On Monday, October 3rd, he read from his forthcoming novel, And We Were All Actors: A Century of Light and Shadow, as part of the Memorias exhibit. \u201cWe are dinosaurs,\u201d he said of those who were in Chile at the time of the coup, \u201cand we don\u2019t have a role. The only thing we want is to show people what happened.\u201d He hoped those who learn about his experiences will also say, as he does: \u201cNunca m\u00e1s. Never, never, again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From Monmouth, Dra. Gac-Artigas hopes the works will travel to the Institute of Cervantes in New York and then to the University of Pennsylvania. She said many Monmouth professors had brought their art and political science students to see the exhibit in the Library, recognizing \u201cthe importance of learning this history.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story\">\n<h2 id=\"record\">Tuesday Night Record Club<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-618 size-full\" style=\"object-position: 50.0925% 28.3575%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/record.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo of Robert Santelli and Kenneth Womack\" width=\"712\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/record.jpeg 712w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/record-300x176.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/record-560x329.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/record-280x164.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/record-320x188.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/record-640x376.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/school-of-humanities-social-sciences\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/452\/2018\/06\/record-360x211.jpeg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"intro\">Monmouth University\u2019s partnership with the GRAMMY museum in Los Angeles has inspired the University\u2019s new Tuesday Night Record Club, an event that\u2019s like a book club featuring albums instead of books.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the way we now listen to music, through devices, apps, and streaming services, the concept of the \u201calbum\u201d is becoming obsolete. The goal of the Tuesday Night Record Club, according to Communications Chair, Professor Aaron Furgason, \u201cis to present albums that are significant culturally and resonate with as wide an audience as possible.\u201d Albums in the program this year include Blondie\u2019s Parallel Lines, The Beatles\u2019 Sgt. Pepper\u2019s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Bruce Springsteen\u2019s Nebraska, and Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan, this year\u2019s Nobel Laureate in Literature.<\/p>\n<p>Just like in a book club, audience members are asked to listen to the album before the meeting, and to come prepared to discuss it. September\u2019s discussion of Nirvana\u2019s Nevermind included about fifty participants. Panel members included Rich Robinson and former PANTERA manager Kimberly Zide Davis. \u201cIf you truly love music,\u201d said Dr. Furgason, \u201cthen the actual artist or album should not stop you from participating in the club. Every type of popular music is connected in one way or another, and the discussions are meant to highlight relationships that might not be apparent to all listeners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tuesday Night Record Club will continue through the Spring.

This was the first time that the Conference had been held here at the place of Mailer\u2019s birth, so a special panel discussion on the history of Long Branch, NJ, and a tour of the Mailer family gravesite were offered. Mailer scholars from all over the country, as well as the author\u2019s family and friends, were in attendance. Assistant Professor Alex Gilvarry of the English Department said that \u201cthe conference is about honoring Mailer but also about debates about his work and choices.\u201d Mailer, Professor Gilvarry points out, \u201cwasn\u2019t always on the right side of history.\u201d For example, his novel Prisoner of Sex took on second-wave feminism. Discussing the author\u2019s works gives panel members a chance to explore the politics and history of the decades in which Mailer worked. Professor Gilvarry said that \u201cthe purpose of the Society and Conference is to spread Mailer\u2019s work and influence. In my case it definitely worked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2009 Prof. Gilvarry was writing his first novel and \u201cneeded space and time to write without working.\u201d He applied for and won a fellowship to live and work at a writer\u2019s colony located at Mailer\u2019s house in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He read Mailer\u2019s novels and his biographies before going, and while at the colony he was inspired by Mailer\u2019s family and friends, including Lawrence Schiller. \u201cI found a little piece of history,\u201d he said of the experience. In part thanks to this fellowship, Professor Gilvarry went on to win the National Book Foundation\u2019s Five Under Thirty-five Award in 2014, for his novel From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Gilvarry\u2019s forthcoming novel, Eastman Was Here, is \u201cloosely based on Norman Mailer\u2019s life, and it\u2019s about a war correspondent in Vietnam who suffers a crisis of confidence,\u201d he says. It is a story about journalism, and not about war. As part of his research for the novel, Prof. Gilvarry travelled to Saigon and Hanoi in 2015, and even stayed at the Continental Hotel, where the journalists stayed during the war. \u201cIt\u2019s still there,\u201d he said with some awe.<\/p>\n<p>On the last night of the conference, Professor Gilvarry gave a reading from Eastman Was Here. He acknowledged that hosting the Conference was an excellent thing for the English Department, but that it was also important for students in areas like film and women\u2019s studies to consider Mailer\u2019s influence. And he was especially proud that all Conference events were free to Monmouth Graduate and Undergraduate students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story\">\n<h2 id=\"peace\">Peace Corps Prep at Monmouth<\/h2>\n<p class=\"intro\">On October 4th, Professor Frank Cipriani and Dean Nancy Mezey met with two representatives from the Peace Corps and a roomful of Monmouth students who are considering serving as Peace Corps volunteers after graduation. To make that transition from student to volunteer easier, the faculty members are encouraging students to become part of Peace Corps Prep, which Professor Cipriani likens to ROTC. \u201cIt\u2019s sort of the minor leagues\u201d of the Peace Corps, he said. It is a certificate program for undergraduates which encourages students to develop skills valuable to successful Peace Corps volunteers, such as proficiency in foreign languages, leadership skills, and intercultural awareness. Monmouth is the only New Jersey university which participates in this program. The certificate will be valuable not only for the Peace Corps but for any job in the non-profit sector. In addition, Professor Cipriani reminded the students, Peace Corps Prep holds lots of great on-campus events, such as Practical Primitive, coming up later in October.<\/p>\n<p>According to Peace Corps recruiter Daniel Turkel, who spoke to the students, the Peace Corps\u2019 main mission is \u201cto promote world peace and friendship.\u201d The organization\u2019s goals are to increase the self-reliance of communities around the world, to share American culture, and to bring back to the United States knowledge of those cultures that the volunteers visit. Volunteering in the Peace Corps is a \u201clife-defining leadership experience,\u201d Mr. Turkel said.<\/p>\n<p>The students also heard from Quinn Hargitai, a returned Peace Corps volunteer who spoke about his experiences working in Albania. \u201cAlbanians aren\u2019t used to foreigners,\u201d he told them. \u201cThey aren\u2019t used to hearing their language spoken with an accent.\u201d He explained that the volunteers\u2019 first three months are spent in an intensive language class. \u201cIt\u2019s a really hands-on, good, effective language program,\u201d he said. Over his twenty-seven months in Albania he became so proficient in the language that he was able to read Harry Potter in Albanian. \u201cI ended up with a really magical vocabulary!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After being sent to Berat, Albania, a beautiful tourist destination, Mr. Hargitai got to work teaching English and working for the department of education. His secondary projects, which were just as rewarding, included establishing a youth center, organizing a book club and a creative writing club, working with girls through GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) Outreach, working with immigrant children through Roma and Egyptian Outreach, and starting an Ultimate Frisbee team. He said that saying goodbye to his Albanian friends and students was the hardest thing he did in the Peace Corps. He closed by reading a college application essay that one of his students had written about the youth center that the volunteers had started in Berat. The student\u2019s words brought some in the audience to tears, and led to many eager questions from Monmouth students considering taking this \u201clife-defining\u201d step of joining the Peace Corps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> November 2016<\/p>\n<p> Tuesday Night Record Club<\/p>\n<p> Monmouth University\u2019s partnership with the GRAMMY museum in Los Angeles has inspired the University\u2019s new Tuesday Night Record Club, an event that\u2019s like a book club featuring albums instead of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"parent":239,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_mu_eop_enabled":false,"_mu_eop_name":"","_mu_eop_name_override":false,"_mu_eop_description":"","_mu_eop_description_override":false,"_mu_eop_url":"","_mu_eop_url_override":false,"_mu_eop_program_type":"","_mu_eop_educational_credential":"","_mu_eop_time_to_complete":"","_mu_eop_number_of_credits":"","_mu_eop_occupational_category":"","_mu_eop_occupational_category_code":"","_mu_eop_program_prerequisites":"","_mu_eop_application_deadline":"","_mu_eop_application_start_date":"","_mu_eop_start_date":"","_mu_eop_end_date":"","_mu_eop_day_of_week":"","_mu_eop_time_of_day":"","_mu_eop_educational_program_mode":"","_mu_eop_financial_aid_eligible":"","_mu_eop_maximum_enrollment":"","_mu_eop_offers_price":"","_mu_eop_offers_currency":"USD","_mu_eop_offers_price_per":"","_mu_eop_offers_preset":"","_mu_eop_salary_upon_completion":"","_mu_eop_training_salary":"","_mu_eop_recognized_by_name":"","_mu_eop_recognized_by_url":"","_mu_eop_concentrations":"","_mu_eop_identifier_cip":"","_mu_eop_provider_name":"","_mu_eop_provider_name_override":false,"_mu_eop_provider_url":"","_mu_eop_provider_address":"","_mu_eop_provider_city":"","_mu_eop_provider_state":"","_mu_eop_provider_zip":"","_mu_eop_provider_country":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-371","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dean&#039;s Digest November 2016 | Wayne D.
