Panel Discussion

Wednesday, January 13, 7:30 pm Wiley Hall Auditorium

Prison State PBS Documentary

Learning to Change E&H Alumni

This PBS documentary film follows the lives of four individuals in Kentucky’s criminal justice system, as the state tries to interrupt the cycle of mass incarceration.

This event kicks off the formal portion of Emory & Henry’s MLK Day 2016 Celebration. Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s challenge for people to actively create a world where every person’s civil rights are honored, this panel discussion reminds us how we can respect the past, acknowledge how much things have changed, and move forward in the hope that these changes will lead to the world of which Dr. King dreamed. As we begin to consider systematic oppression in the context of our MLK Day theme, Randy Wilson (E&H ’03), LaSon Green (E&H ’04) and Korey Townsend (E&H ’07) tell their stories of personal and social growth. Panel members also teach us how to change our learned behavior to help make Dr. King’s dream a reality. Delilah White, visiting professor in the Mass Communications Department at E&H, moderates.

Community Discussion

The Confederate Flag: The Racism vs. Heritage Debate Moderated by Kathleen Chamberlain

The American prison population is the largest in the world, and incarceration is overwhelmingly concentrated in poor communities of color. In “Race, Poverty, and Mass Incarceration,” Dr. Western discusses the scope of consequences of American incarceration. He concludes by describing a new mood of political reform and the changes necessary for a significant reduction in incarceration rates.

Western is a professor of sociology (criminal justice) at Harvard University and faculty chair of the program in criminal justice policy and management at the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy and director of the Center. His latest publication is Punishment and Inequality, a book which addresses issues of racism within the system of mass incarceration in the United States.

Monday, January 18, 7:30 pm Wiley Hall Auditorium

This community discussion on the subject of “Does the flag represent heritage or does it represent racism?” is moderated by E&H English professor Dr. Kathleen Chamberlain.

Based on the plays of Platus and with a score by Stephen Sondheim, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum is one of the great, classic Broadway musical comedies and one of the funniest musicals ever written. Pseudolus tries to win the heart of Philia for his young master, Hero, in exchange for his freedom. With a toe-tapping score that features hits like Comedy Tonight and Everybody Ought To Have A Maid, vaudeville humor (and even a showgirl or two), Forum is a true musical theater delight!

Traveling on the Cheap: Its Possibility, Joys and Surprises E&H Students

Across the Pond: A Constitutional Debate William Walton and Stewart Harris

Do you enjoy a lively debate? Join three of Emory & Henry’s student organizations for a debate on the merits of the constitutions of the United States and the United Kingdom through the following resolution: Resolved - It is easier to interpret an unwritten constitution than a written one. William Walton, senior lecturer at Northumbria Law School (Newcastle, UK), and Stewart Harris, professor at the Appalachian School of Law (Grundy, Va.) and host of “Your Weekly Constitutional,” will be the expert debaters for this event.

The presentation brings together both experienced and inexperienced student travelers to share their accounts of traveling domestically and internationally on the cheap. What is meant by “on the cheap?”

Depending on location, this idea is anywhere from a $5 to $40 per day. Our goal is to express the surprising joys of breaking out of the role of “tourist” and immersing you in the affordable and interactive role of the thrifty traveler. Students often look at the possibility of travel as a “nice if I could afford it” impossibility (or at best as a “once in a lifetime experience”). The program emphasizes the real potential for students to travel inexpensively and that doing so is often much more exciting and enjoyable than conventional, costly travel.

What It Means To Be An Outsider: Lessons from Guatemala Krystin Krause (E&H ’08)

Sunday, April 24, 3 pm McGlothlin Center for the Arts Main Stage Theatre

Wednesday, April 20, 7:30 Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge

The E&H Choir presents a unique concert in anticipation of their South African concert tour, under the direction of Dr. Haecker.

Dr. Krause discusses Guatemala, a country that has experienced a vast amount of internal conflict and corruption and suffers from mass poverty.

Communities are resilient in large part due to their collective culture. Working and traveling outside the United States is a fantastic opportunity but it is important to remember what it means to be an outsider.

Barter Theatre Program Emory & Henry College has an arrangement with the Barter Theatre in Abingdon whereby students may attend the following Main Stage and Stage II plays for a discounted price of $16, upon showing E&H student ID.

Lying in State

Big Fish: The Musical

The state senator has died in a ridiculous gun accident, and it has made him a national hero.

Everyone is searching for something. The local political party leaders are strenuously looking for someone to fill his senate seat. His ex-wife is looking for a bugler to play for his funeral. Bunny, the stripper, and a host of other zany characters are looking for love, votes, the right casket and a big purple squirrel named Mel. By David C. Hyer

Overflowing with heart, humor and spectacular stagecraft, Big Fish is an extraordinary new Broadway musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre – for an experience that’s richer, funnier and BIGGER than life itself. Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish centers on Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest… and then some!

Suffragette

Pawn Sacrifice

A drama that tracks the story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement, women who were forced underground to pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly brutal State.

Radicalized and turning to violence as the only route to change, they were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality: their jobs, their homes, their children, and their lives.

In a gripping, based-on-true-events story set during the height of the Cold War, American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer (Tobey Maguire) finds himself caught between two superpowers when he challenges the Soviet Empire. Also starring Liev Schreiber and Peter Sarsgaard, Pawn Sacrifice chronicles Fischer’s terrifying struggles with genius and madness, and the rise and fall of a kid from Brooklyn who captured the imagination of the world. Directed

by Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond).

Monday & Tuesday, Feb. 15-16, 4 & 7:30 pm The Cinemall: Abingdon, Virginia

In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) was Hollywood’s top screenwriter until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. Trumbo (directed by Jay Roach) recounts how Dalton used words and wit to win two Academy Awards and expose the absurdity and injustice under the blacklist, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger. Based on the book by Bruce Cook, adapted for the screen by John McNamara.

Room tells the extraordinary story of Jack, a spirited 5-year-old who is looked after by his loving and devoted mother. Like any good mother, Ma dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling stories.

Their life, however, is anything but typical—they are trapped—confined to a windowless, 10-by-10-foot space that Ma has euphemistically named Room.

Ma has created a whole universe for Jack within Room. continued...

Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon

In the Heart of the Sea

Featuring rare and never before seen footage, this is the mind boggling story of The National Lampoon from its subversive and electrifying beginnings, to rebirth as an unlikely Hollywood heavyweight, and beyond. A humor empire like no other, the impact of the magazine’s irreverent, often shocking, sensibility was nothing short of seismic: this is an institution whose (drunk stoned brilliant) alumni left their fingerprints all over popular culture. Both insanely great and breathtakingly innovative, The National Lampoon created the foundation of modern comic sensibility.

In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. In the Heart of the Sea reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Directed by Academy-award winner, Ron Howard.

Monday & Tuesday, Feb. 29-Mar. 1, 4 & 7:30 pm The Cinemall: Abingdon, Virginia

Macbeth, a loyal subject of the realm, is told by three witches that he will one day hold the crown, which moves Macbeth to take devious steps to secure that position. His betrayal is successful and he soon takes the throne for himself. But, his arrogant manner spawns even more vicious murders, royal madness, and growing insecurity within his newlyformed kingdom. Directed by Justin Kurzel (The Snowtown Murders), starting Michael Fassbender as Macbeth, and Marion Cotillard as Lady Macbeth.

This outrageous comedy captures the story of a group of B-level frat boys who must fight for their existence as a fraternity at Faber College in the face of the prestigious Omegas. Unable to gain acceptance at the snootier fraternities, the motley crew, bent on disrupting the well-starched status quo, form the Deltas. They engage in various illegalities that land them in hot water and their exploits eventually cause Dean Wormer to enlist Omega president Greg Marmalard to drive the Deltas out of the college.

What Our Fathers Did: A Nazi Legacy

Monday & Tuesday, March 14-15, 4 & 7:30 pm The Cinemall: Abingdon, Virginia

Paulette lives alone in a housing project in the Paris suburbs. With her meager pension, she can no longer make ends meet. One evening when she attends a curious traffic incident outside her building, Paulette sees the sign of destiny. She decides to start selling cannabis. After all, why should she not?

Paulette was formerly a pastry chef. Her gift for trade and cooking skills are assets toward finding original solutions in the conducting of her new business

Three men travel together across Europe. For two of them, the journey involves a confrontation with the acts of their fathers, who were both senior Nazi officers. For the third, the eminent human rights lawyer and author Philippe Sands, it means visiting the place where much of his own Jewish family was destroyed by the fathers of the two men he has come to know. It is an emotional, psychological exploration of three men wrestling with their past, the present of Europe, and conflicting versions of the truth.

Hitchcock/Truffaut

Monday & Tuesday, April 18-19, 4 & 7:30 pm The Cinemall: Abingdon, Virginia

The Danish Girl

In 1962, Alfred Hitchcock and a 30-year-old François Truffaut sequestered themselves in a windowless Hollywood office for a week-long conversation.

The result: the seminal book Hitchcock/Truffaut, published a half century ago, dissecting every film Hitchcock had made until then, illuminating his masterful techniques, making the case for the popular director as an artist, and influencing generations of filmmakers. Kent Jones brings “the Bible of Cinema” to invigorating life. He interviews filmmakers whose work has been profoundly influenced by Hitchcock.

Monday & Tuesday, March 21- 22, 4 & 7:30 pm The Cinemall: Abingdon, Virginia Danish artist, Gerda Wegener, painted her own husband, Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne), as a lady. When the painting gained popularity, Einar started to change his appearance into that of a female and named himself Lili Elbe. With his feminist passion and Gerda’s support, Einar attempted the first male-to-female sex reassignment surgery, a decision that turned into a massive change for their marriage, as Gerda realized her own husband was no longer a man or the person she married.

Lyceum Requirements The Lyceum Program is an Emory & Henry College academic requirement for graduation.

Accordingly, you should view Lyceum events much as you would a class obligation.

Appropriate Behavior You must behave respectfully during any Lyceum you attend. You are expected to be seated no less than five minutes before an event is scheduled to begin. Avoid extremely casual attire when attending Lyceum events—especially those held in the Chapel.

Any faculty or staff member may dismiss you from a Lyceum event for any behavior that distracts you or others from full participation in the event, including sleeping, talking, reading, doing homework, texting, and generally any form of rude behavior. If you seek credit for an Artalk, you are expected also to view the 1912 Gallery exhibit to which the Artalk relates.

Documenting attendance You must have your ID card with you and present it upon entering and leaving each on-campus event.

(You are responsible for making sure that your ID card is properly bar-coded and for consulting campus security if recoding is needed.) If you arrive at an event late or leave it early, you will not receive credit for attendance. In the case of Barter plays and Arts Array films that are Lyceum-eligible (as indicated in this booklet), you must retain the ticket stub and present it to the CSA office for credit within a week of the event in question. No more than two credited events in any semester may be films, and no more than two may be Barter plays. You may not receive more than one credit for a multiple-performance event (e.g., a play), even if you attend several performances.

Calculating the requirement As a student enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at Emory & Henry, you are generally required to register attendance at five Lyceum events per semester, exclusive of summer school. If you extend your academic program beyond four years, you are not required to attend more than 35 Lyceums. If in a particular semester your enrollment falls below 12 credit hours (such that you are a part-time student), you are required to attend one event for each course in which you are enrolled that semester, up to five.

If you are enrolled in student teaching, your Lyceum requirement for that semester is two events.

Seniors If you do not complete your Lyceum requirement, you will not be awarded a degree, even if you have met all other graduation requirements. You are exempt from any Lyceum obligation during your final semester before graduation—but only if you have already completed your Lyceum obligation fully. If you enter your final semester with a Lyceum deficit, you are advised to remedy it by attending as many Lyceums as needed during the first half of the final semester. Do not enter the final weeks before commencement with a Lyceum deficit.

Transfer Students Your total Lyceum requirement is tied not to the number of credits you have transferred in; rather it is tied to the number of semesters you are enrolled here. If there is a reduction in the usual 35-Lyceum requirement in your case, it will thus be because you spend fewer than eight semesters as a full-time E&H undergraduate. Your overall Lyceum requirement can usually be estimated using the following guideline: five Lyceums per semester for each E&H semester except the final one. Your specific requirement may be clarified at the time of graduation audit.

Academic Honesty As attendance at Lyceums is an academic

requirement, any attempt on the part of a student to present her or himself as having attended a Lyceum which she or he did not attend is viewed as a form of academic dishonesty and is dealt with accordingly. For example, submitting a ticket stub for a Barter play or an Arts Array film that one had not attended is a breach of the Honor Code and subject to Judicial disposition.

Random checks may be conducted regarding attendance at such events.

Alternatives If you anticipate that extraordinary circumstances will make Lyceum attendance impossible during a given semester, you must, during the first two weeks of that semester, petition the Lyceum Committee to request an alternative way of satisfying part of the requirement. The alternative, which is usually far more time-consuming than attending Lyceums, involves reading published essays (as approved by the Committee) and writing critical reviews of them. No more than five Lyceum credits (total) may be obtained in the alternative fashion.

Please address questions regarding Lyceum policy to the Centralized Student Assistance Office, 276-944-6105.
