CONFERENCE AND SYMPOSIA Hofstra Cultural Center presents Wednesday, February 15 Social Media: Transforming Communication at Work and in the Public Sphere

Social media and technology have shaped the world dramatically over the past few years: how we work, how we socialize, how we advocate, and how we understand the world around us. This symposium looks at social media in recruitment, hiring, and performance management, as well as social media and work-family balance/stress, the delivery of news, the formation of public opinion, and how we process information and understand issues.

Schedule: 10 a.m. Social Media for Advocacy and Persuasion

Join a panel of public relations, nonprofit and advocacy experts for a conversation on how social media can drive policy and persuasion. The panelists engage participants in a lively discussion of the implications — both positive and negative — that social media has and will have as a tool for advocacy.

11:15 a.m. KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Dr. Sherry Turkle

Dr. Sherry Turkle, the Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the author of The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit and Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other, discusses the effects of rapidly advancing technology on human social behavior.

Fortunoff Theater, Monroe Lecture Center

3 p.m. The New Social Media: Protecting Yourself From Fake News Trust and truth are facing major challenges in the digital age as consumers navigate a radically altered media environment. Knowing who and what to trust on social media is a key skill for consumers and creators of information. Join Kelly Fincham, Hofstra associate professor of journalism, media studies, and public relations, and Claire Wardle, executive director at the nonprofit First Draft, for a workshop and discussion on verifying information on social media. Wardle, one of the world’s experts on user-generated content, joined First Draft from Columbia University where she was research director at the Tow Center.

4:30 p.m. Social Media, the Law and Hiring

Join us for a panel that includes Jackson Lewis attorney Ian Bogaty and Hofstra industrial organization psychology professors Comila Shahani-Denning and Kevin Nolan.

Panelists discuss research, practice and legal issues related to social media in hiring.

6:30 p.m. Managing Your Social Media Presence

Hofstra’s Career Center runs this interactive session that guides job applicants in their social media branding. The concentration is on managing a candidate’s social media presence, with a particular focus on getting the most out of a LinkedIn account.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH SYMPOSIUM Tuesday, February 28 Performing Politics: Embodying Advocacy

Paul Robeson said, “My art is my weapon.” Performance is at the heart of political advocacy. Performances in the streets or on the stage are ways to express political opinions and encourage social change. This symposium focuses on how performance, spoken word, and music have been and continue to be important tools for social change and racial equality, whether as part of the civil rights, women’s rights, Black Lives Matter, environmental, LGBTQ+, labor, and other global protest movements.

On February 28, the last day of Black History Month, students and colleagues are invited to panels featuring scholars D. Soyini Madison, PhD, professor of performance studies, Northwestern University, author of Acts of Activism and Critical Ethnography, and director of Labor Rites, and Larry Bogad, PhD, associate professor of theatre and dance, University of California, Davis, author of Tactical Performance and Electoral Guerrilla Theatre; performance artist, COINTELSHOW: A Patriot Act, and lecturer of TED talk on use of performance in the civil rights movement. They will be joined by Hofstra Professors Bill Jennings, Tomeka Robinson, Lisa Merrill and others, as well as Hofstra students, alumni and graduate student assistants from the Hofstra Speech and Debate team.

The symposium concludes with a performance of the award-winning play Call Mr. Robeson: A Life, With Songs.

Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library

Related Event: Performance Tuesday, February 28, 7 p.m.

Call Mr. Robeson: A Life, With Songs

Written and performed by Tayo Aluko, with live piano accompaniment by Hofstra alumnus Dennis Nelson, Class of 1986 Paul Robeson is a world-famous actor, singer and civil rights campaigner.

When over the years he gets progressively too radical and outspoken for the establishment’s liking, he is branded a traitor to his country, harassed, and denied opportunities to perform or travel. Just as physical, emotional and mental stress threaten to push him over the fine line between genius and madness, he is summoned to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee, to give the most difficult and important performance of his career.

This roller-coaster journey through Robeson’s remarkable and eventful life highlights how his pioneering and heroic (but largely forgotten) political activism led many to describe him as the forerunner of the civil rights movement. It features much fiery oratory and some of his famous songs, including a dramatic rendition of “Ol’ Man River.” Tayo Aluko revives one of the 20th century’s most impressive but overlooked figures in this powerful, compelling tour de force.

This event is FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Limit two tickets per person.

Tickets are available through the Hofstra Box Office by calling 516-463-6644, Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.-3:45 p.m.

How Creativity Innovates Research and Practice in Psychology

Two Hofstra Psychology Department faculty members discuss how creativity informs the application of virtual reality in psychotherapy and positive psychology principles in enhancing children’s education.

Computer Science, Gaming and Virtual Reality Psychotherapy: A Creative Progression

In this talk, Mitchell Schare, Hofstra professor of psychology, discusses how basic computer science research of the 1980s and ’90s spawned the gaming industry, enabling further development of modern virtual reality. While many applications of virtual reality technology exist, Dr. Schare explores and demonstrates the use of virtual environments for psychotherapy purposes.

Positive Education

Jeffrey Froh, Hofstra assistant professor of psychology, discusses positive education as the answer to the call for education reform. Teachers, psychologists, administrators, and school staff must understand and appreciate the role character strengths play in our children’s education. Making children happier is as important as increasing their GPAs. It is imperative that we see how critical it is to have education that emphasizes increasing children’s positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, meaning in life, achievement, and health.

Creativity as a Human Right: Art Educators in Areas of Global Conflict

In an era marked by continuing conflict around the globe, questions for those of us in the field of education abound: Is creativity a human right? What is the role of art in human survival? How can art educators contribute to those individuals and communities besieged by social upheaval and war? Facing increasing social disorder and possibly the worst refugee crisis in modern history, the contemporary world has become characterized by a culture of violence, xenophobia, and intolerance. In this pivotal moment, the lives of children and young adults are at risk, as many grow up in the midst of armed conflict, often living in displacement camps or exiled from their homelands. For others living closer to home, the challenges of poverty, violence and mass incarceration threaten their future. In this presentation, Susan Goetz Zwirn, Hofstra professor of art education and graduate program director, explores the work of two art educators who facilitate art initiatives with populations in conflict-affected environments, both local and global. When not teaching within the comfort of the ivory tower, their projects take them from refugee camps abroad to juvenile prisons in the United States to demonstrate the value of art education where it matters the most.

Thursday and Friday, April 6 and 7 Karl Marx’s Critique of Political Economy and the Global Crisis Today Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Publication of Capital*

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. Capital defined his labor theory of value, which Marx drew from Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and the whole of classical political economy. This symposium draws 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 include David Harvey, distinguished professor, The Graduate Center, CUNY; Silvia Federici, professor emerita, Hofstra University; and Harry Cleaver, professor emeritus, University of Texas at Austin. *Symposium is free and open to the public. If attending dinner, there is a fee.

Advanced registration is required.

Thursday-Sunday, June 1-4 17th Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, Genders, and Sexualities Difficult Conversations: Thinking and Talking About Women, Genders, and Sexualities Inside and Outside the Academy This triennial conference is the world’s largest gathering of scholars working in the fields of women’s gender and sexuality history. Women’s history has undergone enormous shifts since the first Berkshire conference in 1973, recasting dominant historical narratives and pioneering new ideas and methodologies. Fresh ideas about the very category of “women,” innovative studies of the body, new analyses of sexuality, and transregional and transnational scholarship have transformed understandings of history. Reviving connections between communities and institutions, historians are increasingly joining forces — inside and outside the academy — with an eye toward affecting social change and social justice. The focus this year is on historical scholarship as a tool for activists and the teaching of history as a vehicle for activism.

Hofstra Cultural Center and Black Student Union (BSU) presents The Crisis of Black Education by Dr. Christopher Emdin

From the moment that black people set foot on the shores of the United States, the most powerful tool for their oppression has been the denial of an education. Dr. Emdin explores the ways that this practice has evolved over time, and the ways that we can resist the denial of an education. Drawing from the words and work of civil rights icons throughout history, the talk emphasizes the role of resistance to oppression through formal engagement in education.

In a merging of theory, practice, science, and story, this address explores a way forward for those destined to lead the charge for social justice. Christopher Emdin is an associate professor of mathematics, science, and technology at Teachers College, Columbia University, and associate director of the Institute for Urban and Minority Education. He also serves as Minorities in Energy ambassador for the U.S. Department of Energy and the STEAM ambassador for the U.S. Department of State.

According to The Washington Post, “2016 may yet be the first ‘Instagram election.’”

This panel explores how the 2016 presidential candidates utilized social media; the implications of the ability of candidates to bypass the traditional press to communicate with voters directly via social media; how the candidates debated and responded to one another on social media platforms; and the role that social media played in determining the outcome of the election.

2017 DONALD SUTHERLAND LECTURE presents Forgotten America: Understanding the White Working Class and the Election of Donald Trump by J.D. Vance J.D. Vance, a former marine, Yale Law School graduate, and New York Times best-selling author of Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, gives a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis — that of white working-class Americans. Tracing his family history as well as the slow decline of this particular demographic, he tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you are born with it hung around your neck. In this incredibly timely talk, Vance sheds light on an often forgotten corner of the country, offering not just a powerful picture of how upward mobility really feels, but also the loss of the modern-day American dream. Book signing to follow lecture.

The Donald J. Sutherland Lecture is named for the former Hofstra trustee who endowed the annual event. Co-sponsored by the Hofstra Cultural Center.

A. Van Jordan

A. Van Jordan has published four books of poetry: The Cineaste, Quantum Lyrics, M-A-C-N-O-L-I-A, and Rise. His poetry is influenced by music, film, race, history, and pop culture.

His most recent book, The Cineaste, marries his love of film with poetry in pieces that re-examine a wide range of seminal films such as Nosferatu (1922), The Homesteader (1919), Run Lola Run (1998), and Oldboy (2003) through the perspectives of both the voyeur and the character onscreen. Jordan has been awarded the AnisfieldWolf Book Award, the Lannan Literary Award, and the Whiting Writers’ Award, as well as fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and United States Artists, among others. He currently teaches in the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College and serves as the Henry Rutgers Presidential Professor at Rutgers University–Newark.

Susan Orlean

The New York Times bestselling author Susan Orlean’s explorations of American stories, both familiar and obscure, have earned her a reputation as one of America’s most distinctive journalistic voices.

A staff writer for The New Yorker for over 20 years and a former contributing editor at Rolling Stone and Vogue, she has been praised as “an exceptional essayist” by Publishers Weekly. Orlean’s most recent book, Rin Tin Tin, explores the life and legacy of the iconic German shepherd. In The Orchid Thief — the national bestseller that inspired the Academy Award-winning film Adaptation — Orlean delves into the life of John Laroche, a charismatic schemer once convicted of trying to steal endangered orchids from a state preserve in southern Florida. Orlean’s work has inspired two successful films: Blue Crush, the story of young women surfing in Maui, and Adaptation, the metafilm directed by Spike Jonze. Meryl Streep, who portrayed Orlean in the film, was nominated for an Academy Award.

LATIN AMERICAN and CARIBBEAN STUDIES PROGRAM (LACS) and AFRICAN STUDIES PROGRAM Tuesday, February 28, 12:45-2:10 p.m.

Gendering Migration in the Hispanic World

Spain is one of the entry points to “Fortress Europe” and a focus for migratory movements across the European continent and the Mediterranean. Recent migration to Spain has been largely female, a fact that raises questions for our notions of traditional family dynamics, legislation around migration, and gendered representations of the migrant experience in popular culture. Our speaker, H. Rosi Song, is associate professor of Spanish at Bryn Mawr College and the author of Lost in Transition: Constructing Memory in Contemporary Spain. She is also the co-editor of Towards a Cultural Archive of la Movida: Back to the Future and Traces of Contamination: Unearthing Francoist Legacy in Contemporary Spanish Discourse. She has published extensively on contemporary Spanish culture and literature, on Iberian and Latin American detective fiction, and on migration.

Dark Islands: Race, Migration, and Confinement and Film Screening: Ellis

Willowbrook State School on Staten Island was an institution for mentally ill children and those with developmental disabilities in operation between 1947 and 1987. It is nationally recognized as a tragic symbol of the inhumane and unethical treatment of people with disabilities. A disproportionate number of its residents were of Puerto Rican and African-American descent, comprising the largest minority population of any such institution in New York state at the time. This presentation focuses on how and why this fact was neglected in the historical narrative. Jorge Matos Valldejuli, assistant professor and reference librarian at Hostos Community College-CUNY, is working on a project on the history of race at the Willowbrook State School and its aftermath.

Following the lecture there will be screening of Ellis, the short documentary written by Eric Roth, directed by artist JR and narrated by Robert De Niro. The short film takes us back to the early years of Ellis Island through the experience of one immigrant. It is set in the abandoned Ellis Island Hospital complex, and uses JR’s art installations to narrate the forgotten story of immigrants arriving in New York City.

Film Screening and Discussion: Open Pit

Directed by Gianni Converso and produced by our speaker Daniel Santana, Open Pit is a tour de force of investigative journalism and guerrilla filmmaking that reveals the vicious face of dirty gold mining in Peru. Faced with devastating mercury pollution, heavy metals and acid mine drainage, the people of Cajamarca (northern Peru) fight a desperate battle to defend their water resources, their families, and their way of life.

Location: To be announced.

Wednesday, March 29 Central American Child Migrants in Nassau County Roundtable, 11:15 a.m.-12:40 p.m.; Discussion Sessions, 1-2 p.m.; Workshop, 2:55-4:20 p.m.

More than 110,000 children from Central America crossed the U.S. border in 2014-2015 and were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Once processed, the children were transferred to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and were resettled in Nassau County. This three-part event aims to help the Hofstra community understand the forces that produced this humanitarian crisis, as well as its legal and social consequences.

Speakers: • Benjamin Bratter is a private immigration attorney with offices on Long Island and in Manhattan, whose practice has been handling Central American immigration cases for over 10 years. He will talk about the landmark 2015 agreement between New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and the Hempstead Union Free School District, to ensure equal educational opportunities for students regardless of immigration status.

• Rahsmia Zatar, executive director of the NGO STRONG Youth, an anti-gang organization based in Uniondale, and a Hofstra alumna, presents on the numerous challenges related to youth and gang violence prevention and intervention in Long Island.

• Anjela Jenkins, attorney for The Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, provides an overview of the Office of Refugee Resettlement system and the role of the child advocate.

He will read some of his own poems in Italian, Spanish, and English, and premieres his three-volume anthology. The roundtable discussion includes Peter Caravetta, Stony Brook, University, and Gregory Pell and Stanislao Pugliese, Hofstra University.

Parlor, Hofstra Hall, South Campus

Tuesday, May 2, 12:45-2:10 p.m.

The DREAMers Project Workshop

Poet José Emilio Pacheco used to say that written fiction has survived because it is, still, the best technology we have to incorporate the other’s experience in ours: the more we read, the more memories we have to inhabit us. How vulnerable would you feel if the country in which you grew up –– the only one you know — denied you the peace of a legal status? During this session, undocumented college students from PEN America’s DREAMers Project Workshop discuss the exercise of literary writing as a tool for resistance, and as a small scale/high impact form of activism. The DREAMers Project Workshop is supported by PEN America and the City University of New York, and is part of the PEN World Voices Festival.

He came to Hofstra in 1960 and developed the University’s first course on immigration history, which led to the book American Immigration and Ethnicity: “Melting Pot” or “Salad Bowl”? (which he co-edited).

ISSUES IN JUDAISM LECTURE SERIES Wednesday, March 29, 7 p.m.

According to the Customs of Moses and Shinto

The mystery of the Lost Tribes of Israel, exiled by the Assyrians in the 8th century B.C., and their whereabouts, dates back centuries, and still remains a mystery today. A significant group of people in Japan claim to be the descendants of the Israelites. Certain rituals are performed in Shinto shrines that resemble Jewish traditions, and there are other similar customs, ideological principles and structures. Research by Israeli rabbis and discoveries

by Japanese scientists indicate that this theory might be true. We will follow the eastward route in which the exiled tribes were taken in the 8th century B.C. and again in 586 B.C., heightening the probability of them ending up in Japan. The lecture will be accompanied by ancient drawings, scripts, sketches and photos.

Speaker: Michael Tuchfeld Political analyst and columnist, Makor Rishon Magazine; host of Radio Galey Israel; host of Israel Radio, IBA and Channel 2 News, The Knesset Channel in Jerusalem, Israel; and former parlimentary correspondent

Wednesday, April 26, 7 p.m.

Exploring Cuba: Its Once and Future Jews

Three visits by Andrée Brooks to Cuba in recent years, plus additional research that has been built upon her scholarly research concerning the Conversos of Central and South America, find a community in flux. (Conversos were Jews who had been forcibly converted to Catholicism late in 15th century Spain, but often kept their Jewish heritage alive in secret.) Later migrations brought Jews from the Ottoman Empire and Eastern Europe.

In recent months, the relaxation of restrictions, both by the Americans and the Cubans themselves, has resulted in more and more of Cuba’s Jews, and descendants of Jews, coming forward to reclaim their Jewish heritage and receive delegations from Jewish groups from the United States. This lecture explores the challenges and opportunities these changes are now raising, including some historical background that focuses on the earliest Converso/Jewish arrivals from Spain — and how and why they went there.

Speaker: Andrée Aelion Brooks

Associate Fellow, Yale University Former contributing columnist, The New York Times; author, The Woman Who Defied Kings: The Life and Times of Doña Gracia Nasi (A Jewish Leader During the Renaissance); journalist and lecturer, Westport, CT 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.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA AND DANCE 68th Annual Hofstra Shakespeare Festival

We are proud to announce a very special all-Shakespeare semester to celebrate of the opening of the new Hofstra Globe Stage. The new Hofstra Globe Stage was researched and designed by David Henderson, associate professor and head of scenic design in the Department of Drama and Dance. This adds an exciting new chapter to Hofstra’s long history of Globe scholarship that began with Hofstra President John Cranford Adams in 1945.

The festival begins with a full-length production of Hamlet in full Elizabethan dress on the new Globe stage and continues with a one-hour adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), and special performances of Elizabethan works by the Music Department and the Dance Program.

March 2*, 3, 4, 10 and 11, 8 p.m.

Hamlet

by William Shakespeare directed by Christopher Dippel As relevant today as it was over 400 years ago, Hamlet is a revenge tragedy like no other.

When Hamlet learns the truth about his father’s “foul and most unnatural” death, he reflects on his life – past, present and future; mortal and immortal – and provokes us to do the same. *Reception honoring alumni of Hofstra’s Shakespeare Festival at 6 p.m. The opening night performance is followed by a talkback with cast and crew.

presents

Tuesday, February 28, 7 p.m.

Call Mr. Robeson: A Life, With Songs

Written and performed by Tayo Aluko, with live piano accompaniment by Hofstra alumnus Dennis Nelson, Class of 1986 Paul Robeson is a world-famous actor, singer and civil rights campaigner. Join us on this roller-coaster journey through Robeson’s remarkable and eventful life, which highlights how his pioneering and heroic (but largely forgotten) political activism led many to describe him as the forerunner of the civil rights movement. It features much fiery oratory and some of his famous songs, including a dramatic rendition of “Ol’ Man River.” Tayo Aluko revives one of the 20th century’s most impressive but overlooked figures in this powerful, compelling tour de force.

Presented in conjunction with the symposium Performing Politics: Embodying Advocacy.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY MUSEUM SPRING 2017 EXHIBITIONS EMILY LOWE GALLERY Behind Emily Lowe Hall, South Campus

January 31-April 13 Danny Lyon: Memories of the Southern Civil Rights Movement

Organized by art2art Circulating Exhibitions Based upon Danny Lyon’s memoir, this exhibition brings together the photographs he took from 1962 to 1964 while traveling through the United States documenting the civil rights movement. Lyon began his photographic career as the first staff photographer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), a national group of college students who joined together in 1960 after the first sit-in by four African American college students at a North Carolina lunch counter. With this body of work, Danny Lyon helped define a form of photojournalism in which the image maker is deeply and personally embedded in his subject matter.

Funding support has been provided by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
