schedule of events
2014-15
an introduction Framingham State University is proud to present the 2014-15 Arts & Ideas Program – a year-long series of engaging speakers, performances, exhibitions and films. Most events are free and open to the public. Designed to stimulate the kind of thought-provoking conversations that represent co-curricular learning at its best, this year’s program explores two complimentary themes: “A Republic of Learners,” “…And Justice for All.” The latter echoes the final phrase of a pledge we repeat because it bears repeating. If, as Dr. King warned in 1963 “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” it falls to us as an academic community to consistently interrogate what we mean by “justice” – in settings as diverse as an American courtroom or the Arctic icecap – and perhaps more poignantly, who we mean by “all.” Understanding the history of injustice – in the justification for a “heathen school” or an internment camp, strengthens our ability to analyze current forms of injustice embedded in our institutions: in our schools, in our approach to white collar crime or human rights. Ultimately, the goal is to imagine what an inclusive justice might look like: "justice for all." Please note that dates, times and locations are subject to change.

Matt Taibbi "The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap" thurs, november 20, 2o14 at 4:30 p.m., dwight performing arts center
Over the last two decades, America has been falling deeper and deeper into a statistical mystery: Poverty goes up. Crime goes down. The prison population doubles. Fraud by the rich wipes out 40 percent of the world’s wealth. The rich get massively richer. No one goes to jail. In search of an explanation, Matt Taibbi discovered the divide, the seam in American life where our two most troubling trends—growing wealth inequality and mass incarceration—come together, driven by a dramatic shift in American citizenship: our basic rights are now determined by our wealth or poverty. In this talk, Taibbi takes audiences on a galvanizing journey through both sides of our new system of justice—the worlds of the untouchable wealthy and the criminalized poor.

The year 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide: the massacres and forced deportations that claimed the lives of more than one million Armenians. The political and academic contention over the interpretation of this genocide continues to divide the communities of Armenians and Turks, despite efforts at dialogue and reconciliation. The speakers will describe their own efforts toward a constructive conversation to heal the historical wounds. Panel members: Pamela Steiner, Ed.D. Gonca Sรถnmez-Poole Harry Parsekian Paula Parnagian

Professor Patrick Parenteau, from Vermont Law School, has been involved in drafting, litigating, and implementing environmental law and policy for four decades. His presentation will explore solutions to the climate crisis by looking at specific public and private sector initiatives needed to de-carbonize our economy.
