Lecture Pollination in the Hawaiian Islands Heather F. Sahli

Artalk Never Twice the Same Color Brittany Prater, videographer

Thursday, January 13, 7:30 pm McGlothlin-Street Hall, Room 102

The Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated island chain in the world, and, as such, have a unique set of plants and animals that can be found nowhere else on earth. Dr. Sahli introduces the history and cultural importance of the flora and fauna of Hawaii, the importance of pollinators for Hawaii’s native plants, and the work being done to help understand the role that native and non-native animals play in the conservation of Hawaii’s unique plant species.

Dr. Sahli is an assistant professor of biology at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania.

Tuesday, January 25, 7:30 pm Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge The work of videographer Brittany Prater functions as a farewell to the National Television System Committee (NTSC), which sets television and video standards in the U.S. that are incompatible with most computer video standards. She incorporates spoofs of female characters from blockbuster movies and daytime television to expose and make fun of certain agendas that underlie many pop culture narratives. Her work is a mixture of analogue printouts and digital technologies that mimic the experience of being a “digital immigrant” and a member of Generation Y. The Artalk is in conjunction with Prater’s exhibit in The 1912 Gallery from January 26 to February 17, 2011.

Monday, January 24, 7:30 pm Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge

In 2007, author J.K. Rowling announced in an interview that Albus Dumbledore, a character in her popular Harry Potter novels, was gay. This revelation caused a media sensation and led many scholars to consider the cultural impact of images of sexuality in the Harry Potter series. Dr. Tison Pugh, author of Innocence, Heterosexuality, and the Queerness of Children’s Literature (Routledge, 2010), speaks about sexuality, hetero-normativity,

Dr. Alan Forrest discusses how to integrate mindfulness training into our personal routines and lives. He focuses on ways to cultivate the flow and ease of engaging with our internal sense of compassion and wisdom, and to access our capacities for experiencing and expressing insight, self-acceptance and loving kindness. Dr. Forrest is 4

“Brother Towns,” a documentary film about immigration, is a story of two towns linked by immigration, family, and work: Jacaltenango, a highland Maya town in Guatemala; and Jupiter, a Florida resort town where many Jacaltecos have settled. “Brother Towns” chronicles a story of how and why people migrate across borders, how people make and remake their communities when they travel thousands of miles from home, and how people maintain families despite their travel. The film’s director, Dr. Charles Thompson, will attend the screening and will be available to discuss the film and answer questions.

Thursday, February 24, 7:30 pm McGlothlin-Street Hall, Room102

A court psychiatrist is asked to determine the sanity of a young novice, Agnes, who is accused of murdering her newborn baby. The Mother Superior determinedly keeps young Anges from the doctor, arousing the psychiatrist’s suspicions further. Who killed the infant and who fathered this tiny victim? All three characters are forced to question their faith and the power of love, leading them to a dramatic climax. A hit on Broadway and later on film. Adult content and language. Because seating is limited in the theatre, advanced reservations are highly recommended. Admission is free to E&H faculty, staff and students.

E&H alumni who have explored the world describe their experiences and the cultures they have encountered.

Wednesday, February 22, 7:30 pm McGlothlin-Street Hall, Room 102 In search of wisdom found in unlikely places, “The Philosopher Kings” takes us on a journey through the halls of the most prestigious colleges and universities in America to learn from the staff members who see things from a different view: the custodians. This thought-provoking, feature-length documentary interweaves the untold stories of triumph and tragedy from the members of society who are often disregarded and ignored. The film will be followed by a discussion moderated by E&H history professor Jack Roper, and includes E&H facilities employees who share their own experiences as “unlikely philosophers” in the E&H community.

Thursday, March 3, 7:30 pm Van Dyke Center, Board of Visitors Lounge Many commentators call for a return to the virtues of the American Founders. Dr. Christie Maloyed explores one of our primary sources for understanding those virtues, Benjamin Franklin’s widely cited program of moral education.
