CONFERENCES AND SYMPOSIA Hofstra Cultural Center presents Thursday-Sunday, October 12-15 National Conference on Peer Tutoring in Writing Reaching Out: Revising Writing Center Spaces and Identities

The National Conference on Peer Tutoring in Writing (NCPTW) promotes the teaching of writing through collaborative learning. NCPTW professionals are leaders in collaborative approaches, responding to the challenges of creating and operating writing centers, developing innovative peer tutoring programs, and promoting the work of peer tutors. NCPTW offers peer tutors the opportunity to contribute in professional and scholarly ways to the larger writing center community. Our 2017 conference, “Reaching Out: Revising Writing Center Space and Identities,” invites writing center professionals to consider the various ways our centers connect with stakeholders on college campuses, in cyberspace, and through research. The conference promises to generate inquiry, conversation and debate about defining the spaces in which writing centers practice. Our keynote speakers for this conference will be Lauren Fitzgerald and Melissa Ianetta, authors of The Oxford Guide for Writing Tutors: Practice and Research.

Thursday and Friday, October 26 and 27 Culture and Identity Configurations: Reflections on the 21st Century* The symposium is an exceptional opportunity to bring together diverse perspectives and methodologies that are concerned with revealing and describing the intricacies and contradictions of contemporary identity discourses. An underlying methodological diversity is considered a prime requirement for addressing these complexities and contradictions, as ours is a time of increasing misapprehension among identity groups. Researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines will examine how identity is shaped, articulated and fostered in language, literature, religion, history, the arts, film, sociology, etc. The symposium also invites contributions that examine the role of immigration in forging and transforming contemporary identities. The symposium will feature keynote speaker Mahmood Mamdani, distinguished professor, Columbia University, and will spotlight speaker Isabel Pascua Febles, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.

Wednesday, November 1 Brutal Library: A Symposium

The Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library building was dedicated in 1967 and is an award-winning example of the Brutalist style architecture. Our celebration of the library’s 50th anniversary will set the building in its historical, social and cultural context – generating understanding and appreciation for this iconic but challenging structure. Peter Chadwick will deliver the keynote lecture and serve as scholar-in-residence for the symposium. He is a London-based art director and graphic designer. He studied at the Chelsea School of Art, then worked at Creation Records, where he designed for chart-topping bands such as Primal Scream and Spiritualized. After setting up his own studio in 1996, Chadwick masterminded campaigns for major artists, including Groove Armada, Fatboy Slim, Cream and Hed Kandi. He runs the popular This Brutal House Twitter account (@BrutalHouse) and is a champion of Brutalist architecture the world over. His recent book This Brutal World (Phaidon, 2016) has been described as “a beautifully curated visual manifesto” for Brutalism.

Dr. Adriana Brodsky, president of the Latin American Jewish Studies Association and associate professor of history at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, explores the paths taken by young Argentine Jewish women and men as they navigate these politically charged times. Youths who were active in Jewish communal institutions debated whether to participate in Argentine political youth groups. Most of them were training to eventually move to Israel, and many of these young Jews chose not to be apathetic to an existing political climate that increasingly viewed young people as agents of change.

From the bestselling author of No is Not Enough and This Changes Everything, award-winning journalist and syndicated columnist Naomi Klein in her most recent book, No Is Not Enough, attempts to uncover how we got to this surreal political moment. It is also an attempt to predict how, under cover of shocks and crises, it could get a lot worse, and it’s a plan for how, if we keep our heads, we might just be able to flip the script and arrive at a radically better future. Ms. Klein will also address from her book, This Changes Everything, what we think you know about global warming and the real inconvenient truth that it’s not about carbon—it’s about capitalism.

Wednesday, October 11, 3-4 p.m. What Mathematics Can Tell Us About Cancer Dr. J.B. Nation, a leading specialist in universal algebra, has been involved over the past 10 years in interdisciplinary study of genetic data on cancer patients, with the bio-informatics group at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center and The Queenâ€™s Medical Center in Honolulu.

Multiple factors determine the progress of a tumor. Some of these factors are the same across different types of cancer, while others are associated with only one or a few types of cancer. How can we identify those factors? The NIH has made available mRNA expression and other variables, along with clinical data for about 30 different cancers. New computer algorithms for analyzing expression data have allowed Dr. Nation to compare the genetic profiles of 15 different types of cancer from NIH data and identify the most significant factors in each one. This is done from the mathematical properties of the expression table. Only afterward are the biological processes interpreted. Moreover, one can also gain information about possible treatments. This project involved collaboration among mathematicians, statisticians, physicians, pathologists and computer scientists. As with the study of many other complex problems, progress in the treatment of cancer depends increasingly on interdisciplinary communication. Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library

Pablo Piccato presents his new book, A History of Infamy, which explores the broken nexus between crime, justice and truth in mid-20th-century Mexico. Faced with the violence and impunity that defined politics, policing and the judicial system in postrevolutionary times, Mexicans sought truth and justice outside state institutions. During this period, criminal news and crime fiction flourished. As Piccato demonstrates, ordinary people in Mexico have made crime and punishment central concerns of the public sphere during the past century, and in doing so have shaped crime and violence in our times. Speaker: Pablo Piccato, Columbia University Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library

THE GREAT WAR – A HUNDRED YEARS ON Join us for a continuation of events commemorating the anniversary of American engagement in World War I.

Thursday, September 28, 4:30 p.m. Film Screening: Hearts of the World (1918)

This film sets out to tell the story of World War I with the greatest realism possible through the melding of warfare and melodrama, a narrative strategy D.W. Griffith had perfected in his extraordinary and controversial film work prior to this film. Yet Griffith’s unprecedented access to the battlefield did not ensure the film’s success, and considering the reasons for this may help us understand something of the nature of what was a new and terrifying form of war—and the inability of contemporaries, from politicians to soldiers, to grasp its true nature. Presenter: Dr. Isabelle Freda, Assistant Professor of Radio, Television, Film The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication Hofstra University

J’accuse, a French silent film directed by Abel Gance, juxtaposes a romantic drama with the background of the horrors of World War I. Work on the film began in 1918, and some scenes were filmed on actual battlefields. The film’s powerful depiction of wartime suffering, and particularly its climactic sequence of the “return of the dead,” made it an international success and confirmed Gance as one of the most important directors in Europe.

Professional baseball has long been linked to applications in STEM and such diverse fields as statistical analysis and optimization, ergonomics, material science, as well as organizational behavior and management theory. This discussion may change how you watch and think about baseball. Speaker : Richard J.

Join us as we discuss the sexiest of sciences – PHYSICS. Mechanical engineer Christine McKinley says, “Physics is the sexiest of the sciences. Sure, you would argue that biology is all about reproduction, and chemistry has an intrinsically hot name, but when you get down to the guiding principles of the universe, it’s all physics. The laws of motion, energy, gravity, and entropy rule. Literally. They trump all other laws and inform all other activity. That’s what makes physics sexy. It is firmly in charge.” Christine McKinley is a mechanical engineer, musician and author. Her musical Gracie and the Atom won a Portland Drammy for Original Score. Her book, Physics for Rock Stars, was published in 2014 by Penguin Random House. McKinley hosted Brad Meltzer’s Decoded on History Channel and Under New York on Discovery Channel.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Just in time for some Halloween fun, join us for an evening full of “spooktacular” interactive fun – learn about Long Island’s very own witchcraft trial, listen to stories about Hofstra ghosts and apparitions while on a guided tour of the South Campus, and then settle back for a trick-or-treat film screening with a live performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

THE DEVIL IN NEW YORK — THE WITCHCRAFT TRIAL OF GOODY GARLICK, 4:30-6 p.m.

Celebrate Halloween as Tara Rider sheds light on the most famous American witch hunt, which began in 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. Yet, more than three decades before that notorious event, Long Island had its very own witchcraft trial—the trial of Goody Garlick. Accusations of flying on poles and cavorting with the devil ran rampant in the colonies during the 17th-century and led to hundreds of accusations of witchcraft. To understand what happened during these trials, we must first understand the stresses of ordinary 17th-century life in New York and why the fear of witches existed. The trial of Goody Garlick acts as a lens to help us understand the hysteria associated with these accusations. Speaker: Dr. Tara Rider Lecturer and Director of the International Academic Program to Ireland and England Stony Brook University Sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities. Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library

WALKING TOUR: HOFSTRA GHOSTS, 6:15 p.m.

Join us after the lecture for a ghost tour of Hofstra’s South Campus. The walking tour will feature stories and surprises, and will highlight Hofstra’s own ghosts and stories of nearby apparitions. Cider and doughnuts will be served. Facilitated by Geri Solomon, University Archivist and Debra Willett, Educational Coordinator, Long Island Studies Institute. Sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Long Island Studies Institute. Meet in front of Hofstra Hall, South Campus.

TRICK-OR-TREAT FILM SCREENING – THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW: LIVE, 8 p.m.

HOFSTRA HILLEL: THE CENTER FOR JEWISH LIFE ON CAMPUS presents

Tuesday, October 3, 7 p.m. Frank Meeink: A Former Skinhead’s Fight Against Prejudice A violent South Philadelphia childhood made Frank Meeink easy prey for skinhead gang recruiters. By age 14, Frank had shaved his head and was a leader in the neo-Nazi movement hosting a cable access show called The Reich used for recruitment. While serving a sentence in an Illinois prison, he questioned his hatred in large part to his African-American teammates on a prison football league. After being paroled, Frank defected from the white supremacy movement. Inspired by seeing a police officer holding a lifeless child in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, he pledged to stop the spread of hatred he himself once had and has appeared on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League, on MTV and other national networks. Commemorating the International Day of Non-Violence. Co-sponsored by the Hofstra Cultural Center. Student Center Theater, Mack Student Center

Wednesday, October 25, 6 p.m. THE DEFAMATION EXPERIENCE: When Race, Class, Religion and Gender Collide – A Conversation Begins A Play by Todd Logan Presented by Canamac Productions, the nationally acclaimed play Defamation is a riveting courtroom drama that explores the highly charged issues of race, religion, gender, class and the law with a twist: the audience is the jury. More than a play, Defamation is a unique opportunity for the community to engage in civil discourse about the most pressing social issues of our day. Through deliberations and post-show discussions, audiences engage in civil discourse that may challenge preconceived notions. Playwright Todd Logan says, “Whether we like it or not, we still have major divides in this country. Most of us still go to bed at night in cities, communities and neighborhoods that are segregated by race, religion, ethnicity and/or class. I wanted to write a play that encourages open, honest conversation that leads to greater understanding and empathy to combat today’s prevailing trends.” Co-sponsored by the Hofstra Cultural Center; Office of Student Leadership; Hofstra Student Government Association; Maurice A. Deane School of Law; Center for Civic Engagement; NOAH Program; and the Center for “Race,” Culture and Social Justice. Fortunoff Theater, Monroe Lecture Center

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY HONORS COLLEGE presents

Thursday, November 2 Sophocles’ Antigone

presented by Theatrikos Kyklos Troupe 11 a.m.-12:40 p.m. Performance 1-2 p.m. Talk Back Discussion led by Hofstra faculty and members of the Theatrikos Kyklos troupe. Antigone is a humane and political play against oppression, and is regarded as the finest surviving drama of ancient Greek literature and the most complete, both structurally and in terms of dialogue. It deals with all the key elements of civilization – polis, demos, tyranny, law, hubris, discipline, anarchy – making it a timeless theatrical yet civil manifesto. Today, at a time when our fundamental principles are questioned, challenged and sometimes threatened, the exceptional dramatic structure and the sense of catharsis of the play evokes a contemporary hope against autocracy. Antigone could not be more relevant. Co-sponsored by the Hofstra Cultural Center; Departments of Drama and Dance, Comparative Literature, Languages and Linguistics and English; and the Women’s Studies Program. Fortunoff Theater, Monroe Lecture Center For more information, please contact Hofstra University Honors College at 516-463-4842.

ISSUES IN JUDAISM LECTURES Monday, October 30, 7 p.m. The Book Smugglers of the Vilna Ghetto

Historian David Fishman recounts one of the most amazing chapters of spiritual resistance in the Holocaust. A group of ghetto inmates risked their lives day in and day out for more than a year, to rescue thousands of rare Jewish books, manuscripts and documents from looting and destruction by the Germans. After World War II, the survivors dug up the cultural treasures hidden in bunkers and other places and smuggled many of them to America and Israel. Fishman has documented this remarkable event based on Jewish, German and Soviet sources in his new book, The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets, and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis. Speaker: Dr. David E. Fishman Professor of Jewish History Director, Project Judaica The Jewish Theological Seminary of America Author: Russia’s First Modern Jews: The Jews of Shklov and The Rise of Modern Yiddish Culture

Wednesday, November 8, 7 p.m. How to Research and Document Your Family History: A Tale of Two Families

The vast majority of our Jewish ancestors came to the United States during one of two great migrations: German Jews during the period 1820-1880 and a larger migration of Eastern European Jews between 1880 and the early 1920s. Starting with information that you know about yourself and your immediate family, our goal is to discover our ancestors’ history both from the time our family came to the United States and back in the “old country.” Nolan Altman will discuss resources available to assist in trying to find information on family members who did not come to America or information that may have been lost during the Holocaust. Topics to be discussed include naming practices, vital records, passenger manifest records, Holocaust resources, and genealogy and your computer. Speaker: Nolan Altman Past President, Jewish Genealogical Society of Long Island (JGSLI) Vice President, JewishGen’s Holocaust Database Adjunct Professor, Queensborough Community College, CUNY Location for all lectures: Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library Funding for these lectures has been provided in part by the Dorothy and Elmer Kirsch Endowment Fund for the Hofstra Cultural Center.

MASTER CLASS WORKSHOP Friday, November 10, 2:55-5 p.m. Exploring Giuseppe Verdi’s Enduring Legacy: Through Spoken Word, Music and Film Screening: In the Mouth of the Wolf (In Bocca al Lupo) Unseen for over 50 years August Ventura, author and filmmaker, explores the world of traditional opera in articles and lectures and through the medium of documentary film. An ardent devotee of the life and works of Giuseppe Verdi, he has trained his sights on this “enduring legacy,” which, in the words of Verdi biographer Mary Jane Phillips-Matz, “remains a mighty force for continuing good.” To investigate how the composer’s 27 operas have served as an agent of social and political change, Ventura created an initiative he calls “27” The Verdi Documentary Film Project, with particular emphasis on the community of Parma, Italy – known for its fierce connection to the art form – where Verdi is rightly venerated.

by Larry Shue directed by Christopher Dippel This side-splitting comedy was first presented by the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, then produced in Great Britain, and subsequently moved to Broadway. The action centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by a man he’s never met but who saved his life in Vietnam. The visitor turns out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly clueless “nerd” who outstays his welcome with a vengeance. Joan and Donald Schaeffer Black Box Theater, Joseph G. Shapiro Family Hall

To an infectiously energetic rock beat, the show wows audiences with songs like “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” “Hair,” “I Got Life” and “Let the Sun Shine In.” Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, Hair remains as relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world.
