    "At Home in the World: Perspectives on a Changing Nature" Symposium

    Thursday, April 25, 2019
     11:30AM to 6:00PM
    VCAM 106

    This symposium showcases student work that questions how we can imagine care, family, home, hospitality, kinship, justice, and, indeed, intimacy, given the fragility, or the antagonism, or the simple interference of a nature many have understood as a setting secondary to human activity. Students will pose this question to contextualize, together, their own anxieties and meditations on environment in an age of climate change with the aid of visiting experts, contemporary artists, and scholars in the environmental humanities.

He simply loved people lacing up their shoes and enjoying the freedom to run and walk, a freedom that was deprived of him by ALS. Race Day Registration is available from 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. This is a family-friendly event with a free post-race BBQ, many games including bubble soccer, over 30 great prizes, and a kids fun run.

The movie paints a complex portrait of the tension between tradition and modernity. Part of the Yiddish Culture Festival.
