Description of this panel discussion:

Once the nearly exclusive purview of lawyers and librarians, questions of copyrights, freedom of information, and open source programming now reach into the lives of everyone. From the knock-off Prada bag, to the distribution of music, to question of privacy that could impact national security–all of these issues and more come to the fore with currently available technologies. Previously accepted precepts and practices are being challenged from all sides. Moderated by students from the blog Wesleying.org, this panel of Wesleyan faculty and students will explore these engaging issues with audience participation invited.

This panel today includes Assistant Professor of Sociology Greg Goldberg, Dean of Social Studies Joyce Jacobsen, Max Dietz ’16, Isabella Litke ’12, and Music Librarian Alec McLane.

Humans are intimately connected with the physical topography of the Earth, whether it’s Foss Hill or Appalachian hills and river valleys.

On the evening of Thursday, April 25th, Foss Hill will be alive with drums, banjos, guitars, voices, stones on stones, fire, and resounding cries for justice from Appalachia. We will use these media to raise awareness about environmental and social destruction in coalfield communities from the practice of Mountaintop Removal (MTR) mining, as well as the dedicated movement to resist these forces.

The Wesleyan MTR-awareness crew will be joined by:

-Guest speaker Colin Bennett from 350.org (350CT) and organizer of
Mountain Justice
–Morgan O’Kane, virtuoso banjo player, shouter and activist from
Virginia, now based in New York City, whose live performances are sure
to bring stomps, whooops, shakes and smiles
-Professors Michael Dorsey and Bill Johnston

Balls, Bruises and Blocks: Discussing the Performance of Masculinity in Sports

Guys, I’m posting to Wesleying from one of those Olin compooters, and it’s lame. Well, not really. Well, kinda really. I don’t know. Anyway, courtesy of Cool Cat ’77, check out the blurb for this discussion tomorrow if you missed it in your email:

How are gender, race and class performed in sporting events? How are such repeated public performances embedded into American male culture? The Center for the Arts will host a panel consisting of Professor of Psychology and Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies Jill Morawski, Assistant Professor of Sociology Greg Goldberg and Wesleyan student-athletes Allee Beatty ’13 (Softball), Luke Erickson ’12 (Wrestling), and Casey Reed ’12 (Volleyball). The panel will also question the possibilities for transgression and the alternative masculinities that might be performed.

Time: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
