SUMMARY:Eve Beglarian
DESCRIPTION:On February 22 at 7:30 p.m.\, the Clement and Linda McGillicuddy Humanities Center and the UMaine School of Performing Arts will host composer and performer Eve Beglarian. Here’s her description of her set list for the concert:\n \n“The first half of tonight’s performance offers you some of the pieces I made in response to a four-month journey I made by kayak and bicycle down the Mississippi River in 2009. Some of the pieces are based on historical events: (the 1927 Flood\, the Siege of Vicksburg during the Civil War…) and others are inspired by things people said to me along the way (“I am really a very simple person”\, “All good is luck”…)\n\n\n \n“The second part of the performance is a selection of settings of the poetry of James Tate I have been making in collaboration with James Moore\, Andie Tanning\, and Jim Fletcher. (Andie and Jim can’t be here this evening\, so we have Josh and Beth guesting in instead.)\n\n\nThe two projects meet in the middle with my setting of James Tate’s poem It Happens Like This\, which is both part of The River Project and What are the Chances?\n\n\n \n“It’s always good to have a goat at the center of things.”

SUMMARY:"A Tree Of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting" Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Judaic Studies is honored to host a free screening of the documentary film “A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting” with a live panel discussion with survivors of that terrible attack.\n \nOn October 27th\, 2018\, a gunman opened fire inside a Pittsburgh synagogue\, killing eleven people as they prayed\, in what would become the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history. A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting is a deeply personal portrait of the survivors\, victims and family members\, who share their harrowing first-hand accounts of the impact of the shooting on the community. The film is rooted in a community in the aftermath of a violent attack\, as they work to rebuild and heal. Despite core differences\, they come together to determine what justice looks like and how to best move forward while honoring and learning from the past. The film sheds light on the collective trauma suffered by a tight-knit group and brings into sharp focus the hate-based rhetoric that surrounds many of the mass shootings today\, threatening the fabric of our society.

SUMMARY:Otherworldly Ethics: Trouthe and the Fairy Mistress in the Lays of Lanval\, Graelent\, Guingamor and Sir Launfal
DESCRIPTION:“Otherworldly Ethics: Trouthe and the Fairy Mistress in the Lays of Lanval\, Graelent\, Guingamor and Sir Launfal” \nJoin us on Monday\, November 13 at 3:30 pm in the Coe Room\, Memorial Union\, as outgoing McGillicuddy Humanities Center Fellow Abigail Roberts presents on her project\, “Otherworldly Ethics: Trouthe and the Fairy Mistress in the Lays of Lanval\, Graelent\, Guingamor and Sir Launfal.” \nThough scholars typically agree that fairies of medieval romances typically offer some critique of the human courts in which they intervene\, interpretations more often suggest that fairies behave illogically\, without reason\, as mere plot devices\, or focus on themes of material wealth. Roberts will be discussing how a close examination of the verbal contracts that control the narratives in the lays of Lanval\, Graelent\, Guingamor\, and Sir Launfal may instead reveal that the fairies of these stories introduce to their respective poems a unique feminine ethic that critiques the traditional enactment(s) of trouthe valued in the human court. Far from being arbitrary or illogical\, the fairy mistresses of these lays establish a subtly didactic undertone to the narratives. \nContent Warning: This talk contains brief mention of sexual assault. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Light snacks will be served.

SUMMARY:This River Is Our Relative
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 9 at 6:00 pm in the Collins Center for the Arts\, the McGillicuddy Humanities Center will welcome members of the Sunlight Media Collective for a free screening of and discussion/Q&A about the new documentary film “This River Is Our Relative.” \n“This River is Our Relative” is a documentary about the Penobscot Nation’s intrinsic kinship connection to and tireless environmental advocacy for the Penobscot River. The story is told through the voices of 24 Penobscot people\, who share their experience of historical\, physical\, and spiritual connection to place; of cultural identity and survival. Their narratives are interwoven with a traditional Wabanaki story about how The People and Glouskap defeated a greedy monster frog\, Aklebemu\, who was hoarding all the water. This story parallels both historical and present day environmental concerns\, and is also the origin story of the Penobscot family Clans. \nThis documentary shows the Penobscot Nation’s dedication to environmental justice and their efforts to minimize pollution\, demonstrates the importance of respecting inherent Tribal sovereignty\, and celebrates Penobscot peoples’ ongoing river-based cultural traditions. \nThis event is part of the 2023-24 annual MHC symposium\, “Rivers.” \nThe Sunlight Media Collective is an organization of Wabanaki and non-Wabanaki media makers working to document and raise awareness about issues affecting Wabanaki people\, with a particular emphasis on the frequent intersection between environmental issues and Tribal rights. Sunlight Media Collective’s work facilitates understanding\, analysis and historical context\, and provides educational opportunities for alliance building\, social change\, and environmental stewardship.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Let's Talk About Gender
DESCRIPTION:Join MHC Undergraduate Fellow Willow Wind on Wednesday\, April 19 at noon in Memorial Union room 312 for a lunch and learn session on gender identity. \nOur society needs to talk about gender\, but we aren’t very good at it. Avoiding these discussions has harmful impacts on body image and various health disparities. What if we have better and regular conversations about ways we can positively experience gender? Undergraduate researcher Willow Wind will present on her study that explores conceptualizations and enactment of gender euphoria across demographics and contexts. Gender euphoria\, one’s sense of gender belonging and fulfillment\, offers a resistive approach to the mainstream tendency of restricting and pathologizing gender. At this lunch and learn event\, Willow will provide an overview of her research purpose\, process\, and findings before facilitating a discussion and an optional activity. Lunch\, stickers\, and pronoun pins will be provided. Come share your thoughts!

SUMMARY:The Blue Commons: Combating Rentier Capitalism in the Sea
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 13 at 12:30 pm\, the University of Maine Socialist and Marxist Studies Speaker Series presents a talk by Guy Standing (Professor\, Economist\, SOAS University of London of Philosophy) titled “The Blue Commons: Combating Rentier Capitalism in the Sea.” \n(Zoom link https://maine.zoom.us/j/3657262020) \nGuy Standing\, Professor\, Economist\, SOAS University of London of Philosophy \nGuy Standing is one of the world’s leading progressive economists. In his new book\, The Blue Commons\, he submits that in the past 50 years\, the sea has been subject to the greatest enclosure in history\, which has led to the most extensive privatization with the grip of global finance involved in highly profitable rent-seeking activities. We have a green politics\, but not a blue politics. The blue commons have been plundered. This is ecologically and economically catastrophic. Guy Standing proposes a progressive strategy that would revive the blue commons\, reverse environmental decay\, and reduce inequalities while giving commoners basic economic security. \nThe Spring 2023 Socialist and Marxist Studies Series is sponsored by the Marxist and Socialist Studies Minor\, co-sponsored by Maine Peace Action Comm. (MPAC) and Division of Student Affairs\, with support of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Dept. of Philosophy. Speakers do not necessarily present socialist or Marxist viewpoints.

SUMMARY:From Smarter Planet to Wiser Earth: Re-Envisioning Relationships between AI Technologies\, Human Society\, and Natural World
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 23 at 12:30 pm\, the Socialist and Marxist Studies Speaker Series presents a talk by Gray Cox (Professor\, College of the Atlantic) titled “From Smarter Planet to Wiser Earth: Re-Envisioning Relationships between AI Technologies\, Human Society\, and Natural World.” \n(Zoom link: https://maine.zoom.us/j/3657262020) \nGray Cox\, Professor\, College of the Atlantic \nHow will Artificial Intelligence programs like ChatGPT transform the ways knowledge and belief are created and used to structure the economic\, political\, and technological systems that dominate our world? What are ways of making these systems empower and liberate people rather than exploit and oppress? How do we reframe traditional debates over Socialism and Capitalism towards a vision of Human Ecological Development. In this Zoom lecture\, Gray Cox will introduce systematic answers to these challenges as developed in his new book: Smarter Planet or Wiser Earth? How Dialogue can Transform Artificial Intelligence into Collaborative Wisdom. \nThe Spring 2023 Socialist and Marxist Studies Series is sponsored by the Marxist and Socialist Studies Minor\, co-sponsored by Maine Peace Action Comm. (MPAC) and Division of Student Affairs\, with support of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Dept. of Philosophy. Speakers do not necessarily present socialist or Marxist viewpoints.
