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:POSTPONED: Tics and Tourette Syndrome in the Academic Environment
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This event has been postponed and will be rescheduled. Stay tuned for an officially rescheduled date. \nOn Monday\, March 6 at 2:00 pm in the UMaine Writing Center (Neville Hall 402)\, outgoing MHC Fellow Benjamin Allen will present the results of his MHC project on disability and performance in higher education. \nAllen’s work\, which forms part of his Honors thesis\, draws on his own lived experience\, as well as contemporary scholarly research in disability studies\, communication theory\, performance theory\, and intersectional theory\, to examine how tic disorders are performative and can irreversibly impact the experiences of those afflicted–especially as it relates to stressful situations in academia and the classroom.

SUMMARY:"This Land Is Your Land and This Land Is My Land": The Role of the Roman Catholic Church in the Political and Cultural Lives of the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy Nations in the Twentieth Century
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, March 1 at 12:00 pm in Class of 1944 Hall\, Room 102\, outgoing MHC Undergraduate Fellow Tom Pinette will present the results of his MHC project\, titled “‘This Land is Your Land and This Land Is My Land’: The Role of the Roman Catholic Church in the Political and Cultural Lives of the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy nations in the Twentieth Century.” \nOver the course of his Fellowship\, Tom has worked with faculty mentors John Bear Mitchell and Paige Mitchell to explore an area of Wabanaki history virtually ignored by Western academic institutions — the presence of the Church on Penobscot and Passamaquoddy reservations in the twentieth century. \nThis free\, open-to-the public discussion will be a culmination of a year’s worth of archival and ethnographic research. In addition to addressing the Wabanaki context of Christian missions\, a presentation of Tom’s research findings will engage with larger questions of Catholic theology\, Indigenous worldviews\, and the ongoing campaign of colonisation.

Confrontations both painfully funny and deeply poignant are sparked when Althea and Clarence show up uninvited\, as Parker’s new sexual identity is put to the test\, and as the family must grapple with the difficult choices of the child they love. \nFrom February 16 through 19\, MHC Undergraduate Fellow Bell Gellis will present a production of Patricia Wettig’s play F2M live in the Cyrus Pavilion Theatre on the University of Maine campus. F2M is a dark comedy following the life of Parker as he navigates parents weekend when his not so accepting parents show up on a surprise visit. \nThe production is a portion of Gellis’s MHC project\, which asks\, “Is Our Perception of Transphobia Blurred When We Are Confronted With It in a Familial Context?” Supervised by Rosalie Purvis\, assistant professor of theatre and English\, Gellis’s work interrogates anti-trans-bias\, as well as other prejudices and biases\, to explore perceptions of transphobia across generations\, gender\, political affiliation and religion. \nPerformances will take place on February 16\, 17\, and 18 at 7:30 pm\, with 2:00 pm matinees on February 18 and 19. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Pre-Performance Lecture: Sarah Harlan-Haughey\, "As You Like It"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture given by UMaine English professor and MHC Faculty Advisory Group member Sarah Harlan-Haughey on Shakespeare’s “As You Like It\,” presented with the support of the Clement and Linda McGillicuddy Humanities Center\, before the Collins Center for the Arts’s presentation of As You Like It from Theater at Monmouth on Tour. \nWelcome to Arden. This is the story of Rosalind. Oppressed and exiled from Court under threat of death\, she escapes with her cousin\, cross-dressed and gartered\, into the wild and unpredictable Forest of Arden. Disguised as a boy\, she creates a world of her choosing\, reveling in her newfound agency and self-discovery. But chance encounters with the love-struck Orlando complicate her new adventure. All the world’s a stage in As You Like It\, Shakespeare’s gender-bending comedy\, where poetry\, mistaken identities\, and true loves lost and found abound. \nDr. Harlan-Haughey’s pre-performance lecture is free and open to the public. Tickets for As You Like It begin at $25 and are available from the Collins Center for the Arts box office.

SUMMARY:‘The Future of the Humanities’: A Discussion with Dr. Heather Cox Richardson and Brian Naylor in Celebration of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s First Decade
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 14 | 3:00 p.m.\nCollins Center for the Arts \n“The Future of the Humanities”: A Discussion with Dr. Heather Cox Richardson and Brian Naylor in Celebration of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s First Decade \nA 2022 Homecoming Event\, produced in collaboration with the University of Maine Alumni Association\, the University of Maine College of Liberal Arts & Sciences\, and the Clement and Linda McGillicuddy Humanities Center. The event is free and open to the public. \nJoin us for a discussion about the role of the humanities in our current social\, cultural and political moment. Literature\, art\, music\, history\, and the other disciplines within the humanities offer students of all ages valuable tools for understanding\, connection\, and empathy. Whether it’s discussing a movie\, reading a novel\, or listening to a favorite tune\, our appreciation for the humanities occurs daily yet too often passes unnoticed. \nBrian Naylor\, the veteran National Public Radio correspondent\, will interview and discuss the future of the humanities with Dr. Heather Cox Richardson. As part of Homecoming\, 2022\, this celebration of the culmination of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s first decade will offer some ideas for the next decade – and beyond – for the future of the humanities.
