An Alarming Specificity

An Alarming Specificity

Through April 24, 2020
Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery

An Alarming Specificity engages with human bodies that do not align with a fictional norm grounded in white patriarchal hegemony. Curated by Aubree Penney '13, the exhibition examines ways artists subvert the predominance of white, heterosexual, cis-male, non-disabled bodies as the default of humanity. Details »

A collection of promotional and educational comic books

In the Collection: Promotional & Educational Comic Books

One of the newest additions to Special Collections is a trove of 139 promotional and educational comic books donated by Rob Galford ’74. Mainly aimed at influencing public opinion, burnishing a company’s public image, advertising a product, or promulgating a government message, promotional comics shrewdly cloaked their mission in the popular comic book form. But instead of featuring the sagas of superheroes, they told more prosaic tales.

"In the Collection" highlights some of the rare and marvelous items that are part of Lutnick Library's Quaker & Special Collections.

Faculty – Susanna Wing

A course on Francophone African literature as an undergrad led Associate Professor of Political Science Susanna Wing to an M.A. in African area studies and a Ph.D. in political science. She joined the Haverford faculty in 2002, and has become an internationally recognized and widely published expert on Mali.

Read Office Hour in the Fall 2019 issue of Haverford Magazine.

Wing's office in Hall Building features a hand-drawn map of Africa, papers from a 1960 conference in West Africa that belong to Professor Emeritus of Political Science Harvey Glickman, and these toy cars and trucks that were handmade in Mali. Photo: Patrick Montero.
