Faculty Lecture and Information Session (Choose One.) • Reexamining the Federal Government’s Role in Higher Education in the United States

Student Center Theater, Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center, North Campus Rebecca S. Natow, Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy, Hofstra University Despite there being no mention of education in the Constitution, the federal government plays an important and extensive role in funding and regulating higher education. How does the federal government have the authority to do this? How has the federal government’s role in higher education evolved and expanded over time? How do various federal branches and agencies influence higher education? And what does the future hold for federal higher education policy? At a time when higher education institutions face unprecedented challenges and the social demand for higher education remains high, it has never been more important to understand the relationship between higher education and the federal government. Examining this role through lenses of constitutional law, organizational and policy theories, and social science research, this lecture provides an overview of the myriad ways the federal government influences higher education in the United States. Professor Natow was selected by graduating seniors as a 2021 Teacher of the Year.

Room 302 The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication, South Campus Geoffrey Tarson, Assistant Professor of Radio/Television/Film, Hofstra University As the era of peak TV continues, there are more and more ways to tell a compelling story in an episode of television. Flashbacks, flash forwards, alternate timelines – it can be confusing, surprising, funny, or powerful. Professor Tarson (2021 Teacher of the Year for The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication) looks at some of the creative structures TV writers have used to tell their stories. Participants will have an opportunity to get creative themselves. How might you use time in an unusual way if you were in the writers’ room?

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY MUSEUM OF ART EXHIBITIONS Nevertheless She Persisted September 1, 2021-January 21, 2022 Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. • Saturday and Sunday, noon-4 p.m. David Filderman Gallery, Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library, Ninth Floor, South Campus Persistence is a recurring theme in the history of any marginalized group, and in the fight and struggle for equality, success does not happen overnight. It is the result of tireless efforts of many unknown individuals who continued to work for a cause no matter what. In the art world, a flashpoint in the history of women artists occurred in 1971, when art historian Linda Nochlin published her landmark essay in the January issue of ARTnews in which she asked the pointed question, “Why have there been no great women artists?” The artists in this exhibition have their own, very specific stories to tell. For some, like Howardena Pindell and Elizabeth Catlett, they are highly personal narratives – stories of overcoming racial, gender, and/or economic hardship. For others, such as Jane Peterson, Perle Fine, and Marisol, they are accounts of contemporary success followed by historic anonymity and obscurity. While still others, like Sonia Delaunay, Bridget Riley, and Berenice Abbott, championed forgotten artists and challenging styles, giving voice to those who were unable or unwilling. Yet all these artists, undeterred by setbacks and rejections, are united not solely by their gender but by their persistent fight for art: to create art and to celebrate art by all people. All the works in this exhibition were drawn from the Museum’s extensive permanent collection.

Where Were You? Witnessing History September 1-December 10, 2021 Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. • Saturday and Sunday, noon-4 p.m. Emily Lowe Gallery, behind Emily Lowe Hall, South Campus Where were you when JFK was assassinated, when the Towers fell, or when Superstorm Sandy hit Long Island? One of the impacts of significant or life-altering events is that people remember where they were, whom they were with, and what they were doing. These types of monumental events often define generations. The 20th century saw the “day which will live in infamy,” the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which led to the U.S. entry into World War II. The 1960s were a time of unrest, highlighted by the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., along with nationwide civil rights and anti-war protests. The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks changed life as we knew it with long-lasting repercussions. The ramifications of both the COVID-19 pandemic and civil rights protests for social justice continue to emerge. There are many ways we remember and commemorate a major trauma, whether violent attacks, war, or natural disasters, including remembrance ceremonies and creating memorial sites. Artistic responses are another. Artists use their talents to express and give voice to deep emotions – sorrow, mourning, and unease about what is to come. Works from the Museum’s collection by Jimmy Ernst, Yonia Fain, George Grosz, Käthe Kollwitz, and Gilles Peress acknowledge wartime atrocities. Jacob Lawrence and Andy Warhol powerfully depict volatile confrontations that occurred in Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. The consequences of natural disasters, such as hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, are addressed by Luis Cruz Azaceta, Susannah Ray, and Michael Redpath. Quilts by Faith Ringgold, along with works of art, documents, and objects from Hofstra University’s Long Island Studies Institute September 11th Project collection, aid in interpreting the period of September 11th and the days following for future understanding. The works of art included in the exhibition not only address personal beliefs and experiences of the artists, but also serve to advocate for a cause and as a call to action.

For more information, visit hofstra.edu/museum or call the Hofstra University Museum of Art at 516-463-5672. Health protocols: All guests 12 and older must present proof of full COVID-19 vaccination and a photo ID. In addition, all participants must wear a mask at all indoor events.
