SUMMARY:Lecture: Grappling with Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Join Kathryn Lafrenz Samuels\, PhD as she offers an introduction to key theories of heritage management through the lens of monuments.\n\n\nProfessor Lafrenz Samuels\, a leading expert in questions of how societies create and engage with questions of shared heritage\, will offer in this public lecture an introduction to key theories of heritage management through the lens of monuments. To bring these abstract questions to life\, she will explore a wide range of examples\, drawing from her fieldwork in Tunisia where modern peoples determine how they relate to a contested past from ancient Roman dominance to its modern republic\, recent studies of how climate change and biodiversity loss in Italy have affected landscapes designated as heritage sites\, and ongoing debates surrounding “what to do” about problematic monuments from Confederate monuments in Charlottesville to Fascist sites in Sicily.\n\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Ancient Mediterranean Studies invited speaker series\, and co-sponsored by the Departments of Visual and Performing Art and Anthropology/Sociology. \n\n\n\n                \n                \n                   \n        \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n   \n                \n                \n                    Add as a preferred\n                    source on Google

SUMMARY:Faculty Roundtable: Incarceration in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Join a group of Fairfield University faculty to discuss perspectives on the issues surrounding incarceration in the U.S.\n\n\nA group of Fairfield University professors and formerly incarcerated individuals will share their unique perspectives – disciplinary and personal – on the issues surrounding incarceration in the United States. This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Stitching Time: Social Justice Collaboration Quilts Project and Give Me Life: CPA Prison Arts Program (Walsh Gallery\, September 12 – December 13\, 2025).\n\n\nPanelists include Don Sawyer\, PhD (VP of Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Belonging); Gregg Caruso\, PhD (Director\, Waide Center for Applied Ethics); Sonya Huber (Professor\, English Creative Writing)\, and Kevin O’Brien\, S.J. (Vice Provost\, Executive Director\, Fairfield Bellarmine).\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition: Stitching Time features 12 quilts created by men who are incarcerated in the Louisiana State Penitentiary\, also known as Angola Prison. These works of art\, and accompanying recorded interviews\, tell the story of a unique inside-outside quilt collaboration. The exhibition focuses our attention on the quilt creators\, people often forgotten by society when discussing the history of the U.S. criminal justice system. Also on view in the gallery will be Give Me Life\, a selection of works from women artists presently or formerly incarcerated at York Correctional Institution\, a maximum security state prison in Niantic\, CT\, courtesy of Community Partners in Action (CPA). The CPA’s Prison Arts program was initiated in 1978 and is one of the longest-running projects of its kind in the United States. Founded in 1875\, CPA is celebrating 150 years of working within the criminal justice system.
