SYMPOSIA Hofstra Cultural Center presents Friday, September 23 40th Anniversary of George Sand Association

Wednesday, October 5 Race and Religion in the Americas: A Critical Spiritualities Symposium

In the Americas in the last five years, a combination of factors has pushed religion and race to the forefront of discussion in media, policy, and scholarship. At Hofstra, initiatives to remedy campus inequalities coincide with the establishment of the Peter S. Kalikow School of Government, Public Policy and International Affairs, charged to add interdisciplinary scholarship and intellectual inquiry to discussions of policy and social movements. In this symposium on race and religion in the Americas, we aim to have frank (or forthright or open) conversation on the best and deepest of scholarly work on the topics. Speakers include Vincent Lloyd, associate professor of theology and religious studies, Villanova University; Nazia Kazi, assistant professor of anthropology, Stockton University; and Sarah Sayeed, senior advisor, Community Affairs Unit, NYC Mayor’s Office.

Thursday, October 20 On the Edge of Creation and Translation (Hispanic-American Writers and Scholars on Translation)

The launch of this symposium arises from a need and an interest in the study of the art of translation at a university. With 50 million people speaking Spanish in the United States, we are constantly conditioned by the ever-present need to resort to translation. Moreover, translation is an undeniable presence and is inherent in each of the areas of culture, science and all human knowledge. We start from the premise that translation is a critical and intellectual act that travels from translation to interpretation with respect to different objects of study (e.g., word, music, theater, and cinema). Speakers include Yusef Komunyakaa, Pulitzer Prize for Poetry; Alvaro Enrigue, Herralde Novel Prize; Madeline Millan, PEN-National Poetry Prize, PR; and Jeannette Clariond, National Poetry Prize, Mexico.

Friday and Saturday, October 21 and 22 American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Conference

The Hofstra University School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) hosts the Mid-Atlantic Regional American Society for Engineering Education Conference. Issues of interest to engineering educators will be addressed in conference presentations and workshops over the two days. The keynote speaker is Dr. Joseph Sussman, chief accreditation officer for ABET, the agency that oversees accreditation for engineering programs worldwide.

Thursday, November 3 Traditions in Transition: Intangible Cultural Heritage in South and Southeast Asia

This symposium unites scholars from the disciplines of anthropology, ethnomusicology, folklore, theater and Asian studies to sacred traditions of South and Southeast Asia. Through the participation in workshops given by scholar-practitioners, performances of a central Javanese Gamelan orchestra, Sundanese rod puppetry theater, Sikh religious hymns, academic lectures, and a one-day installation of an exhibit of puppets, costumes, instruments, and ethnographic photos of healing performances, participants in this symposium gain insight into complex performance forms and explore the paradoxical issues currently facing the traditional arts and their definition as intangible cultural heritage in South and Southeast Asia. UNESCO defines intangible cultural heritage as “the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge skills – as well as the instruments, objects artifacts and cultural spaces associated therewith – that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage.” Related Event:

Thursday, November 3, 6:30 p.m. Singing at the Guru’s Court: Sacred Hymns from the Sikh Tradition

Thursday, November 10 The National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University and the Hofstra Cultural Center present Suburban Sustainability: A Symposium

One of the key questions facing society today is how can we survive the future given all of the problems we are facing such as global climate change, pollution, water scarcity, and environmental justice challenges. The suburbs are not often thought of as places where sustainable practices thrive. Yet, there are examples all over the United States where suburban communities are making great strides to improve not only the sustainability of their communities, but also of their region and the broader United States. This one-day symposium highlights these communities and practices. The symposium includes three panel discussions and a buffet lunch with a keynote address by Kris VanOrsdel from the NYS Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery. The day ends with a reception at the Hofstra University Museum, which is showcasing an exhibit on how Manhattan connects to suburban Long Island titled Over the River: Transforming Long Island. Speakers include a range of experts who are working on real-world solutions to sustainability challenges within the realm of environment, economic development, and social equity. During this election year, the symposium takes on greater significance as the suburbs play an important role in the future of our country. For more information and to register, please visit hofstra.edu/culture.

Tuesday, November 29 Hofstra University School of Health Professions and Human Services, National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University and the Glen Cove Senior Center present Shifting the Perspective: Conference on Aging and Creativity

This daylong interdisciplinary conference embraces the changing face of what it means to grow older, with students and faculty, senior service providers, practitioners in the field of gerontology, older adults in the community, policy makers, and interested public linking aging and creativity. By comparing the characteristics of the aging brain to the creative brain, exploring the psychological impact aging has on creativity and creativity has on aging, highlighting models of creative aging and the success it demonstrates in sustaining vibrant communities, learning how other parts of the world view the connection and creativity of their elders, and by exploring the impact all this can have on investing in our aging communities, we strengthen our understanding of how imagination builds through time, we advance the opportunities and adventures for older adults to continue finding meaning in life, and we open up avenues of support for a population that can thrive intensely if given a chance. For more information and to register, please visit hofstra.edu/aging-creativity.

LECTURES and ACADEMIC PROGRAMS HOFSTRA CULTURAL CENTER presents

SCIENCE NIGHT LIVE

Science Night Live is Hofstra University’s public lecture series that features exciting science research presented by some of the top scientists and lecturers in their fields. Science is becoming more important in everyday life, and these timely lectures will inspire and challenge us in unexpected ways.

Monday, September 19, 7 p.m.* Science, Policy, and Controversy

At every stage of research, scientists make decisions that can affect the outcomes of that research — from which questions to investigate, to how to interpret data. Dr. Daniel J. Hicks examines how such decisions can become flashpoints for policy controversies, drawing from examples such as genetically modified foods and climate change. This phenomenon creates serious challenges for the ideal of basing public policy on objective, universally accepted science. Dr. Hicks is philosopher of science, ethicist, and American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science and Technology Policy Fellow. Currently, he is hosted by the National Robotics Initiative at the National Science Foundation, where he is working on emerging ethical issues with self-driving cars. Dr. Hicks is broadly interested in public scientific controversies, and has written on a variety of issues, including genetically modified foods, vaccines, and obesity. For more information, please email Professor Christopher Eliot at christopher.eliot@hofstra.edu.

Tuesday, October 11, 4:30 p.m.* Bugs: Amazing, Beautiful, and Delicious!

We all know that insects occur in many shapes and colors, and they do many things to maintain our world: they pollinate plants, process animal waste, and provide food for a wide variety of species. Insects can also help save humanity by providing the most sustainable and nutritious food we could possibly eat. Admittedly, many people do have a problem with eating insects, but here’s your chance to get past all that. In this workshop, David Gracer discusses entomophagy, the consumption of insects as a viable food source for all of humanity. As an entomophagist, Mr. Gracer has studied many facets of this protean subject and solicits the input of experts and lay people wherever he goes. Mr. Gracer has appeared on The Colbert Report (where he ate a bug), TEDx Cambridge (where he fed people bugs) and, most recently, Migrations (where he was the edible insect expert). Mr. Gracer sees entomophagy as a matter of discourse and of the confluence/ conflict between science and human nature. He’ll talk about problems and solutions, and may eat an insect or two. Bring your appetite and an open mind. You’ll learn more that way! Speaker: David Gracer, Entomophagist, and Writer, Department of English, Community College of Rhode Island *Location for the above lectures: Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library 10 • hofstra.edu/culture

Wednesday, October 26, 7 p.m.** Caught Between a Rock and a Hot Place: Coral Reefs and Climate Change

Join Dr. Jessica Santangelo as she shares her research adventures in the Florida Keys, Mexico, Hawaii and Palau. She discusses the impacts of the recent El Niño and ocean acidification on corals (and other marine ecosystems) around the world. Speaker: Dr. Jessica Santangelo, Department of Biology, Hofstra University

Wednesday, November 16, 7 p.m.** Extending the Human Lifespan: Implications of an Aging Population

Public health efforts and improvements in medicine have led to record increases in life expectancy globally. The growth of the older adult population and the declining fertility rate will have significant consequences and require new thinking on the structure of health care systems, housing, workforce, and social services. Speaker: Dr. Corinne Kyriacou, Master of Public Health Program, Hofstra University **Location for the above lectures: Fortunoff Theater, Monroe Lecture Center

Tuesday, October 11, 11:10 a.m. Theater of War

Theater of War is an innovative public health project that presents readings of ancient Greek plays as a catalyst for town hall discussions about the challenges faced by service members, veterans, and their caregivers and families today. Using Sophocles’ plays to forge a common vocabulary for openly discussing the impact of war on individuals, families, and communities, these readings are aimed at generating compassion and understanding between diverse audiences. Each performance is followed by community panelist remarks and a facilitated town hall discussion. Fortunoff Theater, Monroe Lecture Center

Wednesday, October 12, 11:15 a.m.-12:40 p.m. (Common Hour) Ada Lovelace Day

Named for the 19th-century scientist who pioneered computational programming, this event is part of an international celebration of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Speaker: To be announced. Student Center Theater, Mack Student Center

Wednesday, November 9, 7 p.m. The Aesthetic Brain With Dr. Anjan Chatterjee This event brings Dr. Anjan Chatterjee, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, to Hofstra to talk about his recent book The Aesthetic Brain: How We Evolved to Desire Beauty and Enjoy Art. Dr. Chatterjee discusses findings from cognitive neuroscience that reveal neural structures and networks engaged in our response to beauty and in other aesthetic encounters. Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library

Wednesday, November 16, 11:15 a.m.-12:40 p.m. (Common Hour) The Emergent National Security Landscape: The New Strategic Polarization of the World President Obama’s national security strategy suggests that environmental factors represent a core foreign policy challenge, and indeed, the ongoing discourse regarding the potential security implications of climate change has promoted environmental security to the forefront of the global security agenda. As the president suggests, national security affairs may no longer be limited to traditional politico-military dynamics; but instead, climate, resources, and demographics may now be viewed as being equally important as traditional elements of national power. Nevertheless, linkages between violent conflict and environmental degradation are a matter of some controversy and continue to inspire a great deal of debate in academic and professional circles. Speaker: Frank Galgano, Chair, Department of Geography and Environment, Villanova University Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library

Thursday, December 1, 4:30 p.m. Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Philip Kitcher: Six Problems of Climate Change

Debates concerning what to do about climate change – and whether to do anything at all – turn on six major questions: (1) Is it real? (2) Does it matter? (3) How much should we care about the future? (4) What can be done? (5) Who will pay? (6) Do we need new politics? Philip Kitcher, John Dewey Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University, will explain these questions, and suggest answers to them. The lecture is drawn from a forthcoming book, co-authored with Evelyn Fox Keller, The Seasons Alter: How to Save Our Planet in Six Acts (W.W. Norton, 2017). Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library

Wednesday, September 14, 10:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. The United States as the World’s Police Force: Does It Have to Be This Way Forever?

The United States is on the cusp of a change in its approach to foreign policy. The primary threat in the world today is terrorism, not land wars between great powers, yet the global security infrastructure continues to be based upon Cold War-era conditions. The documentary American Umpire, narrated by Jim Lehrer, takes a critical look at the U.S. role as the world’s police force. Through interviews with some of the most significant leaders in American foreign policy, including Condoleezza Rice, Madeleine Albright, George Shultz, and others, American Umpire explores our origins as a neutral nascent republic and our transition to a highly engaged superpower after World War II. American Umpire asks the important question, “What is the future of American geopolitical engagement in a rapidly changing world?” A discussion with diplomatic historian Elizabeth Cobbs, whose book American Umpire is the basis for the documentary, follows the film screening.

Wednesday, November 9, 8 a.m. The Center for International Financial Services and Markets Sustainable Business: Current Practices and Emerging Trends Conference

This fall, the center will host a conference on sustainability in business. Increasingly, individuals, organizations and governments consider sustainability an essential aspect of corporate policy. This has incentivized businesses to make corporate sustainability policies a core component of their overall strategic decisions. Judging by the growth in sustainability programs in business, sustainability business course offerings and the content of some business textbooks, academia is striving to bridge the lacuna that exists between sustainability in theory and its implementation across functional areas of business. This conference features industry experts discussing best practices in sustainability in addition to emerging trends in the marketplace.

These poems are a profoundly poignant and well-earned liberation from all that is oppressive in the modern world.” — Stanislao Pugliese Speakers: Louisa Calio, Author; Gaetano Cipolla, Publisher; and Nino Provenzano, Poet Location for all lectures: Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library The Italian American Experience Lecture Series is presented by the Hofstra Cultural Center and supported, in part, by the Association of Italian American Educators.

ISSUES IN JUDAISM LECTURE SERIES THE GHETTOS OF EUROPE Thursday, October 27, 7 p.m. 500 Years of the Ghetto of Venice

The ghetto of Venice was established in 1516 and existed until opened by the forces of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1797. In defiance of its supposedly closed status, the Venetian ghetto was an important locus of learning, commerce and culture, not just for the Jews but for the larger Italian and European society as well. Typical of the paradoxical nature of the ghetto in Venice (and Italy in general), the Ghetto Nuovo (new ghetto) is older than the Ghetto Vecchio (old ghetto). Join us as we untangle these contradictions. Speaker: Stanislao G. Pugliese PhD Professor of History, Queensboro UNICO Distinguished Professor of Italian and Italian-American Studies, Hofstra University

Thursday, December 1, 8 p.m. Life and Death in the Ghettos of Eastern Europe

By discussing the different responses to persecution and annihilation by the Jews of Eastern Europe during the Holocaust, this talk explores questions of life and death in two of the largest ghettos established by the Germans in Poland and the Soviet Union, namely Warsaw and Minsk. The talk examines, in particular, instances of spiritual and armed resistance in the two ghettos. Speaker: Elissa Bemporad, PhD Jerry and William Ungar Chair in Eastern European Jewish History and the Holocaust Associate Professor of History at Queens College/CUNY NEH Senior Fellow at the Center for Jewish History 2015-16 Fellow, Mandel Center for Advanced Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, D.C.

Monday, November 14, 7 p.m. Jennifer Teege My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family’s Nazi Past My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me is a book born of a shocking discovery for speaker Jennifer Teege. She picked up a book by chance at Hamburg’s main library and discovered that her grandfather was the brutal Nazi commandant of the Plaszow concentration camp, portrayed so memorably by Ralph Fiennes in the film Schindler’s List. Ms. Teege’s mother was German; her father was Nigerian. Raised in a loving home by her adopted German family, Ms. Teege struggled with depression as she coped with the trauma of rejection by her birth mother. She went to college in Israel, where she learned fluent Hebrew and earned degrees in Middle Eastern and African Studies. She later returned to Germany and now had to learn about her biological family’s secret from a book; and that a monstrous man, Amon Goeth, reviled for decades as “the butcher of Plaszow,” was her biological grandfather. After her emotional pilgrimage, Ms. Teege says, “I’m no longer a prisoner of the past. I know now that I am not to blame, and the guilt no longer weighs heavily on my shoulders. There is no Nazi gene: We can decide for ourselves who and what we want to be.” Location for all lectures: Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library Funding for these lectures has been provided by the Dorothy and Elmer Kirsch Endowment Fund for the Hofstra Cultural Center.

Karl Marx was simultaneously one of the founders and one of the most important critics of the modern social sciences. All of the social sciences and humanities today draw widely from his work. At the core of Marx’s published work is his analysis of capitalism: Volume one of Capital, published in 1867. This symposium will draw together leading scholars from all over the world who have been applying the Marxian analytical apparatus – including his labor theory of value – to decipher and understand the current global economic and political crisis. Confirmed Plenary Speakers: David Harvey, Distinguished Professor, The Graduate Center, CUNY and author of Limits to Capital, 1982; Silvia Federici, Professor Emerita, Hofstra University and author of Caliban and the Witch, 2004; and Harry Cleaver, Professor Emeritus, University of Texas at Austin and author of Reading Capital Politically,1979.
