  • Exhibit: Poets and Publishers of the Black Arts Movement
    –
    ZSR Library, Special Collections & Archives Research Room (Room 625)
    The 1960s and 70s saw a flowering of African-American poetry unprecedented in American literary history. The poets of the Black Arts Movement fused artistic experimentation with political engagement, giving voice to the complexities of the Black experience in the years immediately following the civil rights movement. This exhibit draws on ZSR Special Collections’ extensive holdings to highlight the achievements of both the poets and the people who published them during these pivotal decades in American history.
  • CAT Book Discussion, Teaching with AI
    –
    ZSR Library, ZSR 665 (Faculty Commons Classroom inside the Faculty Commons space in ZSR Wilson Wing)
    In the age of AI, critical thinking skills, information literacy, and a liberal arts education are more important than ever. As AI continues to reshape the nature of work and human thinking, educators can equip students with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. This book serves as a compass, guiding educators through the uncharted territory of AI-powered education and the future of teaching and learning. Let’s meet and discuss how we might integrate AI into our classrooms and teaching practices.

    Meets three times this semester (9/24, 10/22 & 11/19) on Tuesday from 12:30-1:30 in ZSR 665 (Faculty Commons Classroom inside the Faculty Commons space in ZSR Wilson Wing). We will provide the book for the first 12 registrants. These discussions are very popular so we ask that you register only if you are available to attend all sessions.

    ZSR Library, Room 425
    CLASS and the Grad School of Arts & Sciences are partnering together with the Writing Center and ZSR to host a weekly informal working & writing group for grad students throughout November. This common space and hour offers community with your peers; dedicated time to work on your thesis, dissertation, coding project, research, or whatever else you would like to bring; and tips and tricks each week on time management, writer’s block, and more. This is an appetizer for our more formal group in the Spring, which will provide weekly structured processing and instruction on how best to complete research, thesis, and dissertation work.

    Free coffee and doughnuts provided.

  • French Film Screening: Frantz (2016), directed by François Ozon
    –
    ZSR Library, Library Auditorium (Room 404)
    In a small German town in the immediate aftermath of WWI, Anna grieves for her late fiancé, Frantz. When she encounters a mysterious young, Frenchman laying flowers at Frantz’s grave, their shared connection to Frantz propels a haunting and romantic tale of guilt and forgiveness in the shadow of war. Directed by acclaimed French filmmaker François Ozon and shot in gorgeous black and white with revelatory moments of color, Frantz is a poignant reflection on national identity and alternative truths that turns a beautiful period piece into something urgent and contemporary.” (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER)
