Roundtable Discussion on Equity and Equality for Women in 21st Century Featuring Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow Taslima Nasrin

The Office of the Dean of Faculty presents a roundtable discussion concerning equity and equality for women in the 21st century featuring Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow Taslima Nasrin. Nasrin was born in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and grew up in a tightly regimented Muslim conservative environment. As a young child, she pushed the gender boundaries of society, attending medical school and becoming the writer and editor of literary magazines that questioned women’s oppression and tradition. After being recognized with numerous critical awards and favorable publicity, her controversial work was attacked by Islamic fundamentalists. When a fatwa was issued against her, Nasrin was confined to her house and forced to leave her job. Eventually, she had to escape from her country and now lives in exile. Nasrin has received a UNESCO prize for the promotion of tolerance and nonviolence; the Simone de Beauvoir prize and Citizen of Honor award, both from France; and the Prins Global Fellowship Award from New York University.

2010 Dale Brown Book Award Lecture “German Pietists in a British Atlantic World”

The Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies presents “German Pietists in a British Atlantic World” by Katherine Carté Engel. In the early modern era, Great Britain opened its colonies to Protestant refugees and settlers. Thousands of Continental Germans, including many German Pietists, settled in North America, helping to make British America more diverse than nearly any other place in the world. When the American Revolution tore the British Empire apart, these communities faced complex choices about their own religious worlds. Their decisions were key to the new “American” religious environment. Engel is an assistant professor of history at Texas A&M University, where she specializes in early American religious history. She is the author of “Religion and Profit: Moravians in Early America,” which received the 2010 Dale Brown Book Award.

Power of Hope: Gabriel Bol Deng of Lost Boys of Sudan

The Office of the Dean of Faculty presents this lecture by Gabriel Bol Deng, of the Lost Boys of Sudan. As small children, Deng, Koor Garang and Garang Mayuol fled their villages in South Sudan due to civil war. They became a part of a group of thousands of other boys with a similar story, who were nicknamed “The Lost Boys” upon resettlement in the United States in 2001. In May 2007, the three young men, now in their 20s, embarked on a journey back to Sudan to discover whether their homes and families had survived, what the current situation is in South Sudan, and how they can help their community rebuild after devastating civil war. Along the way, the young men assessed the hopes, dreams and fears of the Southern Sudanese people nearly three years after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. They explored the connections between the conflict in South Sudan to the conflict in Darfur, probing the larger questions of identity and ethnicity in Sudan.

Willkommen! Prior to the opening, tickets for the production can be purchased for $7 through the Theatre Box Office by calling 717-361-1170 or sending a request via e-mail to boxoffice@etown.edu.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

The Theatre and Dance Division of the Department of Fine and Performing Arts presents “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged).” A bold, irreverent romp through all of Shakespeare’s plays in just 99 minutes, “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare” features blazing hilarity that aims to out-Python Monty, out-Simpson Homer, and out-Stooge Curly and Moe. Three brave actors brazenly blend the best of the brilliant Bard with the bottom of the absurdity barrel in this farcical feast of inspired lunacy. This is a side-splitting roller coaster ride. Scholars: Enter at your own risk. Directed by theatre major Peter Starr Northrop as his senior project.

“Amish Spirituality: Patient Faith in a Perilous World”

The Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies presents “Amish Spirituality: Patient Faith in a Perilous World,” by Young Center Senior Fellow and Distinguished College Professor Donald Kraybill. Kraybill will provide an overview of Amish religious beliefs and practices based on his most recent book, “The Amish Way: Patient Faith in a Perilous World.” The lecture will explore how Amish faith is intertwined with community and commitment, child rearing, home life, material possessions, the natural world, evil and sorrow. These issues pose the question: “Is there anything the Amish can teach the rest of us about living meaningfully in the modern world?” Father David Danneker, adjunct professor of applied ethics at the College and pastor of St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Elizabethtown, will respond to the presentation. A time of discussion will follow.

Gretna Music Presents Boston Brass

Informal brilliance, virtuosity, gravity, hilarity—we’ve even seen the five guys of Boston Brass set down their instruments, drop down to one knee, and give a serenade in four-part vocal harmony to one lucky lady. In short, for a quarter century Beantown’s best quintet has served up one-of-a-kind musical experiences to concertgoers around the globe, and in 49 U.S. states. Who’d pass up a chance to take in Boston Brass’ unique blend of uber-classy classics, smokin’ hot jazz, and the odd surprise or 10? Besides someone who doesn’t like having absurd amounts of musical fun, we can’t think of anyone.

Discussion

Writers House Event

Teaching Japan: Using Popular Culture for Critical Engagement

The popularity of Japan’s pop culture—anime, manga and video games—among American youth is a phenomenon that is shrouded in mystery and disparagement. Images of violence and pornography in popular video games dominate the discourse in the media, fueling concern among those who are ignorant of the rich variety available in this genre. During this Writers House event, Associate Professor of Japanese Mahua Bhattacharya will discuss some of the reasons for the popularity of Japanese pop culture and engage ideas of theorists who advocate the use of popular culture for critical engagement in classrooms. A native of India, she previously taught Japanese at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, one of her birth country’s premier institutions. An Elizabethtown faculty member since 2001, she is the director of the College’s Women and Gender Studies program. Dr. Bhattacharya’s research interests include postcolonial theory, women’s studies, popular culture, language ideology, and second language acquisition.

MacDowell Symposium and Festival: Guest Recital Featuring Pianist James Tocoo

In celebration of the 150th birthday of American composer Edward MacDowell (1860 – 1908), the Music Division of the Department of Fine and Performing Arts brings together leading scholars and acclaimed performers from around the world to celebrate the life and music of this preeminent American musician. This guest recital—which is one of a series of free concerts being presented as part of the festival—features Italian-American virtuoso James Tocco, who will perform piano works by MacDowell, Chopin and Schumann. Tocco enjoys international renown as a recitalist, orchestral soloist, chamber musician and pedagogue. Beyond his vast repertoire of virtually the entire standard piano literature, he is widely regarded as among the foremost interpreters of American masterworks, including Bernstein’s “Age of Anxiety,” which he recently recorded with Leonard Slatkin and the BBC London Symphony and performed with Marin Alsop and the New World Symphony; and the Corigliano Piano Concerto, of which he is acknowledged the definitive interpreter by the Pulitzer-Prize-winning composer. Tocco has performed this spectacular work to great acclaim with the Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, San Diego, Kansas City and Phoenix symphonies and with the Louisville Orchestra—with which he recorded the work—as well as with Leonard Slatkin and the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The pianist’s recent seasons included his Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra debut, performing the MacDowell Concerto and Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” both conducted by Leonard Slatkin, and his debut with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Mikhail Pletnev.

Lecture

Young Center Event

“This Tractor for Hire: Enlisting Pacifist Farmers and Black Farmers during World War II”

The Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies presents “This Tractor for Hire: Enlisting Pacifist Farmers and Black Farmers during World War II,” by Steven Reschly. All combatant nations during World War II used mass media, particularly film, to motivate their populations to support the war. In the United States, wartime food production was a focus of government agencies and, thus, the film industry. Planners enlisted farmers in the effort—even farmers from conscientious objector religious groups. Reschley’s lecture will focus on “The Farmer at War,” a nine-minute film produced by Columbia Pictures and the U.S. Office of War Information and distributed in March 1943. The film’s main focus is on Moses Zimmerman—a Plain farmer from Lancaster Country, whose wife wears a head covering—and the central line is “And thus Zimmerman cooperates.” Even the historic peace churches were part of the warring nation, along with black farmers, women, rich doctors, and college students. Reschly is a professor of history at Truman State University. His current research examines rural consumer culture in Amish and related groups in 1930s Lancaster County, Pa.
