York College Cultural Series

Cultural Series 2015-2016

Hello, Each year, York College hosts a series of cultural events that are designed to entertain and enlighten members of both the campus and regional communities. Our goal is to provide something for everyone's taste — a variety of concerts, art exhibits, films, lectures and theatrical performances. In addition to showcasing the talents of York College faculty and students, we also host guest experts to introduce and promote discussion of topics that are important to our local and national communities. In keeping with our educational mission and our mission to serve the community, the College makes every effort to allow for a spectrum of ideas and open, serious and respectful dialogue.

We welcome community members to our campus for these programs; indeed, it is always our pleasure to host you.

Admission is free unless otherwise specified.

Pamela Gunter-Smith, Ph.D. President

Please visit www.ycp.edu for additional details on any of these events. If you want information about attending York College as a student, go to www.ycp.edu and view the virtual tour. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Intro

As downtown York’s art district continues to expand and thrive, providing excellent opportunities for YCP students and alumni and other regional artists to exhibit and sell their work, the York College Galleries contributes the vital role of bringing major artists with national and international reputations to York to exhibit and speak about their work. In the last two years alone we have hosted exhibitions by New York-based MacArthur Fellow Judy Pfaff; a major installation by Los Angeles-based Wayne White of Pee-wee’s Playhouse fame; an incredible 5-channel video installation and timely street performance by Chicago-based Jefferson Pinder; Sculpture Magazine-reviewed exhibitions by Andi Steele and Carol Prusa of NC and FL respectively, as well as lectures by Rita Duffy of Northern Ireland, Diane Burko of Philadelphia and Deana Haggag, Director of The Contemporary in Baltimore. Our list of graphic designers who have lectured and served as exhibition jurors includes Rick Valicenti, Ellen Lupton, Paul Sahre, Post Typography, and Matteo Bologna.

Our 2015/16 gallery program, profiled in the following pages, offers another great lineup of major artists including Sue Coe, Hank Willis Thomas, Sarah Maple, Gaia and Luba Lukova among several others. The York College Galleries comprises the adjacent Cora Miller and Brossman Galleries in Evelyn and Earle Wolf Hall where most of our major exhibitions are held, and the Coni Wolf Gallery at Marketview Arts in downtown York where we host monthly First Friday exhibitions and special events.

1 The Lettering Office features research done during the Spring 2015 sabbatical of Graphic Design faculty member, Melanie M. Rodgers.

Rodgers’ main area of interest is how graphic design form can be used to convey the personal narrative, and how this content is interpreted by the viewer. This selection of works, which includes paintings, publications, and objects, is also an investigation into the mechanics and aesthetics of the hand-lettered form. With bits of influence from 20th century sign painting, Victorian wood type, graffiti and underground comics, Rodgers examines word-based storytelling in a variety of formats and media, some one-of-a kind and some as multiples.

With a foot in both the applied and fine art worlds, this exhibition is evidence of this artist’s deep, ingrained involvement with words and the letters that make them.

Driven is an exhibition representing the vitality of contemporary American printmaking as experienced by the founders of Drive By Press during their extensive travel around the U.S. The exhibition features the work of artists driven to use printmaking as their primary means of artistic production, including Tom Huck, Dennis McNett, Bill Fick, Ryan O’Malley, The Amazing Hancock Brothers, and Drive By Press co-founders Greg Nanney and Joseph Velasquez. Some artists in the exhibition have been established in the world of printmaking for several decades such as Jack Damer and Oscar J. Gillespie, while others are rising stars in the field. This exhibition is an excellent opportunity to see the work coming out of the strongest academic printmaking programs in the country. The opening reception for the exhibition will be preceded by an afternoon of outdoor printing demonstrations and custom T-shirt printing by Drive By Press. Interested customers may bring their own T-shirts or purchase one from DBP. If you miss this opening event don’t despair, DBP will move their mobile printing operation to Marketview Arts the following day for September’s First Friday in downtown York.

3 Traveling printmaker/educators Drive

By Press will set up their mobile printmaking studio at Marketview Arts in Downtown York for September’s First Friday Art Walk.

Perspectives on Peace is an exhibition of works of art by important contemporary artists that seeks to communicate an aspect of peace rather than a symbolic representation of it. Concerned that most artwork protesting war and violence often relies too heavily on showing violence, co-curators Matthew and Shelly Clay-Robison searched for works that avoid trite symbols and instead actively show one of the following manifestations of peace: Positive peace (creating or building peace, peacemakers); Negative Peace (the absence or cessation of violence); Interpersonal peace (peace or conflict resolution between people); Intrapersonal peace (inner healing, internal non-violence, meditation, etc); Structural Peace (social justice and civil rights); and rebuilding physically and emotionally after violent conflict at the personal, cultural, state, and global levels. The exhibition features an international roster of important artists including Sarah Maple, Hank Willis Thomas and Terence Nance, Luba Lukova, Gaia, Rita Duffy, Jefferson Pinder, and Lori Waselchuk. Art and Conflict will feature experts in the fields of art and conflict, including Ivan Sascha Sheehan, Director of both the Negotiations and Conflict Management program and the Global Affairs and Human Security program at the University of Baltimore.

Senior Exhibition

This exhibition features the work of students from the Division of Art in their final semester of study at York College.

Seniors majoring in Fine Art display their final cohesive bodies of work while Graphic Design majors exhibit their senior projects. The students’ work demonstrates the artistic and conceptual growth they have achieved in our program before leaving to pursue exhibition opportunities and careers as professional graphic designers, illustrators and fine artists.

The students work collectively during their final semester to refine their creative vision, and learn to present themselves and their work in a professional manner.

This process culminates with the Senior Presentations and Senior Exhibition.

The presentations allow the seniors to deliver a professional lecture on their current work before a large public audience, while the exhibition requires them to make aesthetic choices in presenting their work in a professional gallery setting. The seniors’ PechaKuchastyle presentations begin at 4:00 p.m. in DeMeester Recital Hall. A reception and portfolio review will follow the presentations in the Wolf Hall lobby and York College Galleries.

"Hogs are among the top 10 most intelligent species, along with humans, dolphins, whales, etc. (Dogs are not even in the top 10.) With a natural life span of about 15 years, undomesticated hogs have a highly complex social structure. Living together in groups, they are constantly on the move, building sleeping nests and foraging for food.

Hogs are naturally very curious and 'play' is an integral part of their lives."

– Mandy Coe, from Sue Coe's pamphlet, Porkopolis.

Sue Coe’s Porkopolis: Animals and Industry remains as relevant today as when it was first exhibited at Galerie St. Etienne in New York in 1989. Coe grew up near a slaughterhouse and her interest in the practices of the meat industry led her to investigate factory farming operations in the U.S. from which she developed a passion for animal rights and a need to bring awareness to factory farming’s cruelty to animals, workers, and the environment through her art.

This exhibition comprises more than four dozen large-scale works on paper that connect the practices of the meat industry with human needs for land, water, and food going unmet, environmental degradation like soil erosion and deforestation, and high levels of antibiotics in the food supply, issues that continue to demand our attention.

7 This exhibition features original drawings from artist Sue Coe’s book Pit’s Letter, published in 2000. In Pit’s Letter, as the publisher Four Walls Eight Windows explains, a hapless canine describes her desolate life to her only surviving sister. She recounts her puppyhood and upbringing in her human family, her heartless banishment, and finally her suffering and death at the hands of the experimenting scientists at Eden Biotechnology. Ironically, her former master winds up in the same situation: an accidental scratching infects him with a pathogen - and man and beast share the same fate.

Evelyn and Earle Wolf Hall Lobby

Pit’s Letter is emblematic of Sue Coe’s deep concern for the welfare of animals and will likely resonate with dog lovers, particularly owners of pit bulls. Coe’s work is blunt and confrontational, reflecting the passion she feels for her subject matter, and calls to mind the work of artists such as Kåthe Kollwitz, Francisco de Goya, and José Guadalupe Posada. This exhibition will run alongside a larger body of Coe’s work called Porkopolis in the adjacent Cora Miller Gallery.

Sue Coe, an English artist living in New York, will speak about her body of work spanning more than four decades. Coe, whose work as a fine artist and illustrator frequently overlaps, works in a variety of media and is best known for her painting, drawing, and printmaking. Strongly influenced by the direct political engagement found in the work of German Expressionist artists like Otto Dix and KĂĽthe Kollwitz, Coe takes on a range of sociopolitical topics including racism, oppressive work conditions, U.S. foreign policy, and cruelty to animals. Legendary art critic Donald Kuspit has called Coe “the greatest living practitioner of confrontational, revolutionary art."

Coe studied at Chelsea School of Art, London, and the Royal College of Art. Upon graduating she moved to New York City, where she taught at the School of Visual Arts and produced illustrations for magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times. Coe has exhibited extensively throughout the U.S. and internationally, and her work is in the collections of many major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Walker Art Center, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She is represented by Galerie St. Etienne in New York.

9 New York-based Luba Lukova will discuss her internationally recognized work, known for its distinctive use of metaphors, juxtaposition of symbols, and economy of line and text, to succinctly capture humanity's elemental themes. Lukova is author of critically acclaimed Social Justice portfolio, and her posters have been exhibited around the world. Her solo exhibitions include: UNESCO in Paris, France; DDD Gallery in Osaka, Japan; La MaMa Gallery in New York, and the Art Institute of Boston. Her works are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the National Library of France in Paris; the Library of Congress; and the World Bank in Washington, D.C. She has received commissions from Harvard and Columbia Universities, Sony Music, United Airlines, The New York Times, and the War Resisters League.

Rebecca Morgan: No Church in the Wild Visiting Artist Lecture: February 25, 2016, 5:30 p.m.

DeMeester Recital Hall Reception: February 25, 5:00 p.m.

Evelyn & Earle Wolf Hall Lobby

Rebecca Morgan is from central PA, and her paintings, drawings, and ceramics emanate from stereotypes of rural Appalachia. Humorous, benevolent, and savage at turns, her characters touch on truths about poverty, addiction, and off-the-grid living, as well as idealizations of uncultured country life. Stylistically, Morgan embraces hyper-detailed naturalism, influenced by Dutch painters such as Memling, Brueghel and Van Eyck, as well as absurd, repulsive caricatures suggestive of underground cartoonists like R. Crumb. As an on-and-off-again New Yorker, Morgan represents the ultimate insider/outsider point of view, embracing and critically distancing herself from her origins.

Morgan received a B.A. from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania and her M.F.A. from Pratt Institute, NY. Exhibitions include Gasser Grunert Gallery, NY; Richard Heller Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Vox Populi Gallery, Philadelphia, PA; Montclair State University, Montclair, NJ; Whitdel Arts, Detroit, MI; Coop Gallery, Nashville, TN; and Spring Break, NY. Morgan is represented

by Asya Geisberg Gallery in NY.

Graphic Design juror Luba Lukova's work has been exhibited around the world, and is in major collections, including Denver Art Museum; the Museum of Fine Arts in Mons, Belgium; and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Fine Art juror Rebecca Morgan has received a great deal of critical success and media attention for what The New York Times critic Roberta Smith calls her "remorselessly detailed self-caricatures." Morgan represents the ultimate insider/ outsider point of view, embracing and critically distancing herself from her origins in her work.

"My grandmother was a knitter, a sewer, a watercolor painter, a baker, an embroiderer — she was a woman, she was a maker. And, although she passed away before I got to know her, I inherited her passion for the handmade … I am a product of two worlds: the physical one I inherited and the digital one that I grew up with.

This body of work juxtaposes both worlds." – Anya Felch '15 In May 2015, Anya Felch was awarded the fourth annual Appell Arts Fellowship, a residency program open to recent York College graduates that provides housing, parking, studio space, and a stipend. This exhibition is the culmination of a year's worth of artistic production made possible by this fellowship.

Felch earned bachelor's degrees in Graphic Design in 2014 and Fine Arts in 2015. She received First Place in the 2015 Fine Art Senior Exhibition and Third Place in the 2014 Graphic Design Senior Exhibition. She also received a Juror's Choice Award in the 2015 Annual Juried Student Exhibition from fine art juror Deana Haggag, and First Place Award in the 2013 Annual Juried Student Exhibition by graphic design juror Paul Sahre.

The NTQ was one of the national finalists in the MTNA Wurlitzer National Chamber Music Competition, representing the northeast region. Following graduation, the members' individual careers sent them in four different directions, but they remain in close contact and perform together whenever possible, including workshops, concerts, and master classes throughout the U.S. This concert of holiday music, from the group's CD Christmas with the Nittany Trombone Quartet, features all-original contemporary arrangements composed by members of the quartet and colleagues.

The York College Percussion Ensemble incorporates a variety of works into their repertoire, ranging from xylophone rags from the early 1900s to minimalist classics and avant-garde improvisations.

Since 1980, the Lydian String Quartet has embraced the full range of string quartet repertory with curiosity, virtuosity, and dedication to the highest artistic ideals of music making. The LSQ has inspired critical acclaim worldwide. According to Sunil Freeman of The Washington Post, "They revealed a fire that makes all timeless music forever contemporary."

Jeremy Eichler of The Boston Globe has described their playing as "full of subtlety, tonal refinement, and a sense of accumulated musical wisdom." Their interpretive mastery of standard and contemporary repertoire has resulted in prizes at international competitions in Canada, France, England, and in New York (Naumburg Award for Chamber Music), and concerts throughout the U.S. and abroad. Their recordings reflect their diverse and far-reaching repertoire, including works by Beethoven, Brahms, Ives, Schubert, as well as American composers Harbison, Hyla, Ornstein and Wyner. The Quartet hosts a biennial composition prize, and it is on the faculty of Brandeis University in Waltham, MA.

The Pirates of Penzance

The York College Divisions of Music and Theatre present one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular operettas: The Pirates of Penzance. This hilarious farce is a classic tale of confused birthright and mistaken identity.

Privilege is pitted against wit as a rollicking band of tenderhearted pirates are thwarted by an aristocratic flock of sisters. A forbidden love affair emerges, complicated significantly by an undeniable sense of duty honored by every endearing character in the cast. The clever lyrics and tuneful melodies complement the absurd, sophisticated humor accessible to audiences of all ages. Tickets are required. For more information, go to www.ycp.edu/music.

"We find ourselves housed and displaced within language with metrics of value that not only cannot gauge well what we do, but have so monopolized the field of value that they threaten to consign what we do to oblivion." — Judith Butler, "Ordinary, Incredulous" The "public humanities" represents a wide range of creative and critical activity and thought that attempts to link a humanistic tradition of inquiry and experimentation to the civic space. As the American philosopher and gender theorist Judith Butler observes, the success of this linkage depends largely on the humanities' ability to explain and demonstrate its value to the public at large. Moreover, as a matter of urgency, the humanities need to continually (re)define the "public worth" of creativity and thinking for future "regimes of value." The 2015-2016 Humanities Lecture Series theme, "The Public Humanities," will feature internationally recognized figures in the field of public humanities and civic engagement. In addition to our guest speakers, the Humanities Lecture Series will have two interdisciplinary panel discussions (fall and spring) on the concept and practice of the public arts and humanities.

Public Humanities Panel Discussion 1: Defining the Public Arts and Humanities

September 9, 2015, 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.

Humanities Center 218

Panelists (l to r): Ken Osowski, Communication and the Arts, YCP; Victor Taylor, English and Humanities, YCP; and Lynn Tomlinson, Electronic Media and Film, Towson University.

The American Council of Learned Societies' National Task Force on Scholarship and the Public Humanities concluded that "the humanities . . . are valuable for their own sake and the nation must support and sustain scholarship because that enriches the common fund of knowledge.

[Additionally] we must 'make the walls separating scholarship and society more permeable,' . . . so that knowledge becomes a public resource." This statement about the humanities from the ACLS defines what many consider to be the central problem of the humanities . . . making connections to the public interest.

Panelists will discuss the importance of the humanities' role in promoting the "public good" and removing the institutional and ideological "walls" separating the arts and humanities from the civic space.

Doris Sommer is an internationally recognized figure in the area of public arts and civic engagement. Her scholarship appears at the forefront of public humanities studies. She is the author of The Work of Art in the World: Civic Agency and Public Humanities (2014), Bilingual Aesthetics: A New Sentimental Education (2004), Proceed with Caution, When Engaged

by Minority Writing in the Americas (1999), and Foundational Fictions: The National Romances of Latin America. (1993). She is the editor of Cultural Agency in the Americas (2005) and Bilingual Games: Some Literary Investigations (2004).

Cordones-Cook also explores the way in which writers incorporate the cultural and political processes of their regions into their works. She is presently working on a book-length study of a generation of Afro-Cuban writers and artists who came of age with the Cuban Revolution, Havana’s Black Renaissance, as well as on La silla dorada, an anthology of poetry by Nancy Morejón accompanied by an audiovisual of her poetry reading, and a collection of essays on Ediciones

4 What does it mean to "practice" the arts and humanities? The Greek origins of the word tell us that to practice, or be practical, is to be concerned with the actual doing or use of something. Within an academic setting, practice might be demonstrated through the application of research, for example, or by the knowledge acquired through hands-on experience. Although usually not considered practical disciplines, in fact the arts and humanities "do" many things, including bringing creative opportunities to people who may lack these in their lives; providing contexts that inspire people to greater creativity and freedom of thought, as well as inner reflection; and showing people a larger world in which creative production is encouraged and nurtured. Panel members will discuss the diverse ways in which they and their students practice the arts and humanities beyond the classroom.

Visiting Writer Lecture: Justina Ireland September 17, 2015 5:00 p.m.

Evelyn and Earle Wolf Hall Art Galleries

Justina Ireland is a YA novelist living in PA, and says, "I write books about dangerous girls and the boys (and sometimes girls) who dig them."

In her debut novel, Vengeance Bound (Simon & Schuster, 2013), she was inspired by the mythological, especially the Furies. Kirkus Reviews described Vengeance Bound as "Buffy meets Dexter with a sprinkling of Aeschylus." Her second book, Promise of Shadows (Simon & Schuster), an elaborate Greek-mythology-based fantasy, was published in 2014, and called "A dark, slyly funny read."

Christopher DeWeese grew up in Port Townsend, WA, and attended Oberlin College and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. After graduating from Oberlin in 2001, he spent three years as a performing member of the Incognito Travelling Circus, touring around the country while continuing to write poems and fiction. His poems have appeared widely in literary journals and magazines including Boston Review, Fence, FIELD, Granta, and Tin House.

Prior to teaching at Wright State University — where he is currently an Assistant Professor of Poetry — DeWeese taught at Agnes Scott College, Emory University, and Smith College. His first book of poetry, The Black Forest, was published in 2012

by Octopus Books, and his second collection, The Father of the Arrow is the Thought, is due out in 2015 from Octopus. James Tate said of the poems in The Black Forest, "These poems sock home truth and enact poetic somersaults that leave me out of breath. It's a pleasure to recommend them to anyone brave enough. Chris DeWeese is the real thing, a poet true to his calling."

The annual Humanities Film Series at York College is an interdisciplinary program sponsored by the English and Humanities Department and the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs. Its aim is to promote the humanities on campus and in the surrounding community by fostering a serious and ongoing discussion about cinema. All too often movies are treated as a "disposable" form of entertainment in our culture; once watched, they are soon forgotten, leaving no lasting impression and prompting little in the way of meaningful dialogue. The Film Series seeks to change this by presenting movies in an academic context, one in which the audience can learn about the various aesthetic, social, and historical dimensions of cinema, while also having the opportunity to discuss the nature of the medium and its effects.

The Film Series consists of six events scheduled throughout the academic year that are free and open to the entire college and the surrounding community. At each of these events, a guest speaker screens a film or delivers a lecture on cinema, and then leads a discussion.

Guest speakers include acclaimed directors, writers, producers, and actors, as well as noted authors, critics, and professors.

Z for Zachariah with Director Craig Zobel September 24, 2015 7:00 p.m.

Humanities Center 218

Based on the 1974 postapocalyptic novel of the same title, Z for Zachariah (2014) tells the story of the end of humanity. In the wake of a disaster that wipes out most of civilization, Ann Burden (Margot Robbie), a young woman who believes she is the last human on Earth, meets a dying scientist, Loomis (Chiwetel Ejiofor), who is searching for survivors. Their relationship becomes tenuous when another male survivor, Caleb (Chris Pine), appears. As the two men compete for the woman's affection, their primal urges begin to reveal their true nature.

The movie, which premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, is the third feature directed by Craig Zobel, who also made the critically acclaimed Great World of Sound (2007) and Compliance (2012). In Z for Zachariah, he utilizes his full repertoire as a director, unleashing a forceful drama that explores the nature of man . . . and woman. Zobel will be on hand to present his latest movie and answer questions about it after the screening.

A Most Violent Year (2014) is a searing crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city's history. From lauded writer/director J. C. Chandor, and starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, this gripping story plays out within a maze of rampant political and industrial corruption plaguing the streets of a city in decay. It examines one immigrant's determined climb up a morally crooked ladder, where simmering rivalries and unprovoked attacks threaten his business, his family, and – above all – his own unwavering belief in the righteousness of his path. With A Most Violent Year, Chandor, whose previous films include Margin Call (2011) and All Is Lost (2013), journeys in a bold new direction. The film was co-produced

by Chandor's longtime collaborator, York native Neal Dodson. In a special appearance cosponsored by the Humanities Film Series and the Literature/Film Association, Dodson will screen the movie and lead a Q&A.

Hollidaysburg with Director Anna Martemucci November 19, 2015 7:00 p.m.

Humanities Center 218

In Hollidaysburg (2014), Tori Humilovich (Rachel Keller) returns to her small town, Hollidaysburg, for Thanksgiving break after her first semester at college, and learns quickly that the more things change since graduating high school, the more they stay the same. But Tori's holiday is brightened by a burgeoning romance with the coolest kid from her high school, who has one last weekend to say goodbye to his favorite burg forever. The movie was produced as part of the Starz documentary TV series The Chair, which followed two first-time directors, Anna Martemucci and Shane Dawson, who were given the opportunity to direct separate films adapted from the same original screenplay. Hollidaysburg was the version created by Martemucci, a writer, actor, and filmmaker, who previously co-wrote, produced, and starred in the independent comedy Breakup at a Wedding (2013), and was a co-creator of the cult web series Periods. She will introduce her movie and talk after the screening about the experience of directing her first film and having every aspect of its production documented for a television show.

Writer/director Justin Simien's debut film, Dear White People (2014), offers a timely and provocative look at race in higher education today. At prestigious Winchester University, biracial student Samantha White (Tessa Thompson) begins her radio show, "Dear White People, the minimum number of black friends needed to not seem racist has just been raised to two. Sorry, but your weed dealer, Tyrone, doesn't count."

Sam becomes president of the allblack residential hall, ArmstrongParker House, whose existence is facing extinction in the name of diversification. A TV reality show smells gold in Sam's story and decides to follow it. The clamor over Sam's rise becomes a careerdefining opportunity for black misfit Lionel Higgins (Tyler James Williams), when he is asked to join the school's lily-white newspaper staff to cover the controversy, even though he secretly knows little about black culture.

Dear White People will be presented

by York College Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Darrien Davenport who will discuss the ways in which this sharply satirical — and very funny — film engages with issues of race and diversity that touch the lives of students on college campuses across the country.

Réveil - Waking Up French with Eileen M. Angelini March 31, 2016 7:00 p.m.

Humanities Center 218

Director Ben Levine’s Réveil - Waking Up French (2006) is a powerful documentary film that explores the struggle for cultural survival among the French-Canadian, FrancoAmerican communities of New England. The film traces the French heritage beginning with immigration from the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Acadia through persecution by Ku Klux Klan and language loss, to cultural renaissance and heritage preservation. Through their determined loyalty to the French Catholic faith, language, and cultural values, the French of New England continue to discover new ways of renewal and cultural diversity through heritage language reacquisition. Few people are more intimately familiar with Réveil - Waking Up French and its subject than Eileen M. Angelini, a Professor of French at Canisius College. She prepared a Teacher's Guide to the documentary at the director's request, and it has inspired her own work as a Fulbright scholar.

She will be on hand to present the film, and give insight into the importance of history and heritage understanding and how languages can be reacquired for personal and community renewal.

Based on the novel of the same title

by Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake (2006) is the story of the Ganguli family, whose move from Calcutta to New York means a lifelong balancing act to meld to a new world without forgetting the old. Although parents Ashoke (Irrfan Khan) and Ashima (Tabu) long for the family and culture that enveloped them in India, they take great pride in the opportunities their sacrifices have afforded their children. Paradoxically, their son Gogol (Kal Penn) is torn between finding his own unique identity without losing his heritage. Even Gogol's name represents the family's journey into the unknown.

Two generations of Indian Americans must learn to negotiate two languages and cultures. In her introduction to The Namesake, Rhodes College Professor of Film Rashna Richards will focus on how in the movie, director Mira Nair adopts the framework of transnationalism to create a dynamic dialogue between convention and contemporaneity, and homeland and exile, such that home is forever lost and always beckoning. A Q&A session will follow the screening.

Sustainability & Environmental Studies

Intro

If we don't know where we have been, it is hard to know how to go forward.

The challenge of sharing the roots of sustainability while bringing current perspectives to students is a balancing act for the sustainability and environmental studies program.

This year's series captures that attempt.

In the fall, we examine the recent history of sustainability. We start with a documentary that awakened many to environmental concerns.

Next, we examine how contemporary issues in the American southwest are a result of our history with water management. We close out the semester with a discussion of the birth of Earth Day 45 years ago.

In the spring, we turn to sustainable living. We open with a panel discussing how to "green your life."

Next, we look at one of the hottest trends in housing — living in houses smaller than the average classroom.

We end the year by hearing from a woman who found that the key to real happiness was by downsizing, er ‌ smart-sizing her life.

Join us as we look to the past in order to see how to live now and for the future. Perhaps it is fitting that Thoreau's call for a simple life still resonates today.

As an undergraduate student at Harvard, Al Gore had a class with Roger Revelle, the prominent oceanographer and one of the first people to measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Gore credited this experience with providing the foundation of his own environmental awareness. Following the 2000 Presidential election, Gore returned to activism and public speaking on environmental matters.

In 2004, work began on filming an expanded version of his presentations showing the danger of climate change. An Inconvenient Truth debuted at the Sundance Film Festival to wide acclaim from scientists and non-scientists for its ability to explain accurately and compellingly the scientific basis for what Gore characterized as a moral crisis.

The film won Academy Awards for Best Documentary and Best Original Song – no other documentary had won two Oscars – and scores of awards from film festivals.

Join us as we prepare for the 10th anniversary of the release of An Inconvenient Truth.

Contami-Nation! and The Worth of Water October 22, 2015 7:00 p.m.

Humanities Center 218 Cosponsored by Schmidt Library

The story of the American 20th century is one of growth in western cities and an embrace of "better living through chemistry." But what happens when our Herculean efforts to get and move water around the West, transforming arid deserts into oases, golf courses and suburban lawns start to run into the limits of available water? These issues are compounded when our limited water resources come into contact with the aftereffects of high production volume chemicals, endocrine-disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals, and even our present-day personal care products. We examine these linked short documentaries from filmmaker Kirk Davis to see how our past and present are impacting our future possibilities. The buzz surrounding Contami-Nation! and The Worth of Water has continued to grow since they premiered as part of the sustainability programming at Arizona State University in 2014.

Drawing on The Genius of Earth Day: How a 1970 Teach-In Unexpectedly Made the First Green Generation (Hill and Wang, 2013), Adam Rome, will discuss what he terms the "most famous little-known event in modern American history." Rome, earned his B.A. from Yale University, studied as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, and worked for years as a journalist before earning his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas. He is the author of The Bulldozer in the Countryside: Suburban Sprawl and the Rise of American Environmentalism (Cambridge University Press, 2001), which won the Organization of American Historians' Frederick Jackson Turner Award for the best book on American history. Before joining the faculty of the University of Delaware as the Unidel Helen Gouldner Chair for the Environment, Rome taught at Penn State University.

He currently teaches courses on environmental history and nonfiction environmental writing, blogs for the Huffington Post, and is the co-director of the University of Delaware's environmental-humanities initiative.

Being Green: Your Lifestyle and Climate Change Panel Discussion

February 17, 2016 7:00 p.m.

DeMeester Recital Hall

This event is for those who want to live a lifestyle that reflects their desire for a healthy planet. This will be a practical, engaging discussion in which our four panelists will share their expertise on different ways the individual can make a positive environmental impact through consumer and lifestyle choices, including the food we eat, plants we grow, energy we consume, and cars we drive. Our panelists are Connie Schmotzer, Consumer Horticulture Educator at Penn State-York, who will discuss the importance of native plants and pollinator gardens; John Clay, farm manager at Longview Center for Agriculture (A Project of Greener Partners,) who will discuss permaculture and the importance of eating local, organically grown food; Eileen Reavey '13, Executive Director, United States Green Building Council (Central PA Chapter,) who will discuss the work of her organization and her reasons for choosing a vegan diet; and Bruno Soenen, a York homeowner, who will share the consumer perspective on adding solar and geothermal to his home, and switching to EV Plug-in and Diesel vehicles. If your carbon footprint is feeding rumors of the existence of Sasquatch, this event is for you.

5 Tiny is a film that follows one couple's attempt to build a tiny house while profiling other families who also have embraced the "smaller is better" approach to houses. As we learn more about the process of building a house that could fit in a parking spot, the film raises questions about design, home, and changing the American Dream.

From 1970 to 2010, the average size of a new house in America has almost doubled. However, recently a small group of individuals has been redefining the American Dream to focus on flexibility, financial freedom, and quality of life, by designing and living in "Tiny Houses" that are usually under 160 square feet.

After its premier at SXSW (Austin, TX) in 2013, Tiny was nominated for awards at multiple festivals, including the HotDocs (Toronto), Docs NYC, and Independent Film Festival Boston. It was the 2013 winner of the Green Planet Award from the Rhode Island International Film Festival.

Our April 21 speaker, Tammy Strobel, is featured in this film.

The

Real Inspector Hound

The Real Inspector Hound is about two theatre critics, Moon and Birdboot, who are set to review a murder mystery play. However, the play seems to mirror what is happening to the two critics.

The characters and their experiences in the play-within-the-play become entwined with the characters of Moon and Birdboot. The two critics become part of the play, leading to an intersection between the worlds within and outside the play.

Arms and the Man

Set during the Serbo-Bulgarian War in the late 19th century, this comedy focuses on the lives and loves of a Bulgarian woman and her family, their servants, a Bulgarian soldier, and a Swiss soldier. Romances are kindled, but are they with the right people? As relationships are made and broken, this play sheds light on issues of love, family, war, and duty.

Abigail/1702

This drama tells the story of the life of Abigail Williams following the events of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. After escaping from the Salem witch trials, Abigail tries to create a new life for herself, and she must try to come to terms with what she did during the trials. When her old life collides with her new life, Abigail is forced to confront her actions and find forgiveness.

In this adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic holiday story, Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man, gets a visit from the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley warns Scrooge that he will see three spirits in the next three nights: the ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet to Come. These spirits try to help Scrooge change his ways and become more joyful.

Join us for our fourth presentation of short plays chosen from the National Ten-Minute Play Contest and the Humana Festival. These events introduce new and upcoming playwrights and plays to the world of theatre, originally produced at The Actor's Theatre of Louisville. Despite their brevity, these shows are packed with a combination of comedy and drama for the enjoyment of all.

The topics of marriage and divorce lead to a play with comedy, farce, and drama. Six people show up to a party in Paris, only to discover that they are three couples that have gone through divorces. The question is: who invited them?

Without the host, the couples begin to revisit their pasts and their marriages. These failed relationships are the focus of this one-act play.

Set in Bamberg, SC, in 1936, the play centers on an African-American family, which is grieving over the loss of a loved one who has been lynched.

In a sad commentary on historical societal norms in the South, "an estimated two or three blacks were lynched each week in the late 19th and early 20th centuries," according to PBS.org.

The play does not depict the act of the lynching (viz., there are no gruesome images); rather it focuses on the strength of the family and the difficult decision it must make as a result of the tragedy. The play also reveals a long-held secret, which threatens to unravel the fabric of the family.

The Pulse of Mourning celebrates the resilience of families to rise above adversity, to unite in spite of differences, and create pathways of success for future generations.

These are accomplishments not just reserved for African-American families but also embraced by families of every ethnic group.

The play was written in 2004 by Harrisburg educator and playwright Dorothy E. King, and performed for the Penn State Harrisburg 7th annual commemoration of the Martin Luther King Holiday.

He is currently writing a new biography of Frederick Douglass that will be published by Simon and Schuster.

Blight has served on the boards of the New York Historical Society, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, and the National Civil War Center at Tredegar in Richmond, VA, and as part of a small team of advisors to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum curatorial team.

What if the judge in Kitzmiller had ruled that ID was legal to teach? Very little would change in the science community where ID repeatedly has been shown to lack scientific merit.

But the politicization of education and science would have increased exponentially. Eugenie C. Scott and Kenneth R. Miller will explore the legal, political, scientific, and educational implications of the trial and its aftermath.

Miller is Professor of Biology at Brown University. A cell biologist, he coauthored the nation's leading high school biology textbook with Joseph S. Levine. He served as lead witness in the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial on evolution and intelligent design. In 2011, he was awarded the Stephen Jay Gould Prize from the Society for the Study of Evolution.

Scott is the former Executive Director of the National Center for Science Education, which defends the teaching of evolution and climate change. She has been honored for her NCSE work by education and science societies, including the Public Welfare Medal from the National Academy of Sciences, and honorary degrees from nine universities. She and the NCSE staff advised the plaintiffs' legal team in the Kitzmiller trial.

The Road to Peace

by Paul K. Chappell

Lecture: November 11, 2015 5:15 p.m.

DeMeester Recital Hall Reception: November 11 6:45 p.m.

Evelyn and Earle Wolf Hall Lobby Cosponsored by York College Art Galleries

From waging war to waging peace, from multiracial outcast to advocate for humanity, West Point graduate and Nuclear Age Peace Foundation Leadership Director Paul K. Chappell offers a new vision of hope, radical empathy, and a world beyond violence and war.

An Iraq war veteran and former U.S. Army Captain, Chappell grew up in AL with a Korean immigrant mother and a part-African-American/partCaucasian father. Growing up in a violent household, Chappell now teaches the powerful form of leadership practiced by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., grounded in nonviolence skills and action, and essential for solving today's challenges.

Chappell is an international speaker on humanity and violence, why world peace is possible, and the art of waging peace. He has also authored a seven-book series about waging peace, ending war, the art of living, and what it means to be human. The series is a resource for anyone who wants to understand how positive change happens on both the global and personal levels.

Dr. William "Bill" Thomas is an author, geriatrician, entrepreneur, musician, teacher, farmer, and visionary, whose wide-ranging work explores the terrain of human aging. Dr. Thomas, one of the most innovative thinkers in medicine, explains that a new life phase is beginning to emerge within our society. When the Baby Boomer generation came of age in the 1960s and 1970s, they jump-started a cultural revolution that shaped today's society. Predicting that Boomers will choose the path of the Denialist, the Realist or the Enthusiast, he discusses the behaviors and attitudes that will provide new and more nourishing fuel for the rest of life's journey: hope and a renewed sense of all that is possible.

Dr. Thomas is an international authority on geriatric medicine and eldercare, and he challenges us to change the way we think about aging and elderhood. Dr. Thomas will guide us on the journey to embracing aging.
