The Living Death of Solitary ConfinementThe Living Death of Solitary Confinement
Thursday, February 1, 2018 - 7:00 pm
Lisa Guenther, Queen's National Scholar in Political Philosophy and Critical Prison Studies at Queen's University in Canada, will present "The Living Death of Solitary Confinement." Guenther will discuss the profound effect of isolation on a person's thought, feeling, perception, memory and personal identity when subjected to solitary confinement. Some say this compares to a "living death," since many find it difficult to come back to life, even after they are released from prison. What does this living death suggestion about the philosophical understanding of personhood? And how might a philosophical critique of solitary confinement lead us to re-think punishment and accountability in the United States? For more information, contact Francis Degnin at francis.degnin@uni.edu or 273-3015.

Showing of film "Of Many"Showing of film "Of Many"
Tuesday, February 13, 2018 - 7:00 pm
A showing of the film "Of Many" will serve as a conversation starter and ties into the Ariel Ennis Multi-Faith training which will be taught on Wednesday, Feb. 14.
Overview of the film: "Set against the dramatic backdrop of violence in the Middle East and the tension between Jewish and Muslim students on college campuses, Of Many focuses on the surprising and transformative relationship between an orthodox rabbi and imam, who serve as university chaplains in New York City. Through a series of voyages to communities struck by catastrophe, we witness young religious Jews and Muslims working together and overcoming long-standing divides. Timely and humorous, this short documentary offers an inspiring and hopeful narrative in the face of a seemingly irreconcilable conflict."

Monday, February 19, 2018 - 7:00 pm
Disability Studies in Education (DSE) promotes the understanding of disability from a social model perspective drawing on the social, cultural, historical, philosophical and literary to challenge medical, scientific and pscyhological models of disability as they relate to education. With an interest in promoting social justice and equitable and inclusive opportunities for all, a DSE framework rejects traditional interpretations of disability and acknowledges disability as socially constructed, complex and intersectional.
This panel presentation will share how a DSE framework within K-12 and higher education settings creates spaces for change and transformation.

Book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot.
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary!
Sex. Drugs. Love. War.
It’s the 1960s. It’s an era of rock n’ roll, social movements, civil rights activism, and the attempt to let “peace guide the planets, and love steer the stars.” In a time of opposing views, in a country divided, a group of friends works to find love, fight for their beliefs, and “believe that now is the time for all good men to believe in love.”
Hair: a story of people who -- facing a world of hardships -- fight for social justice, and against the draft. In order to maintain their beliefs and change the world, they must work together to promote safety, change, equality, and to “let the Sunshine in.”
