2026-03-22 16:30 - 18:00 | The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts
Explore Robert Goddard’s visionary legacy and the lasting impact of his work on science, engineering and space exploration.

And together, we’ll honor and help inspire our “Tomorrow’s Goddards,” who, like Goddard himself, dare to dream big and envision an extraordinary future.

Goddard: Father of the Space Age is a celebratory event and the culmination of a week-long series of events celebrating Goddard’s successful launch of the first modern rocket 100 years ago.

Come for the Wrestling, Stay for the Gospel: Christian Television in the Middle East (1981–2000)
2026-03-23 16:00 - 18:00 | Dana Commons – Higgins Lounge
Speaker: Dr. Febe Armanios (Philip Battell and Sarah Frances Cowles Stewart Professor of History, Middlebury College)

Moderator: Dr. Elyse Semerdjian (Robert Aram and Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Chair of Armenian Genocide Studies; Professor, Department of History)

This presentation will provide an overview of the history of Christian television in the Middle East. Specifically, it explores the rise of the region’s first Christian television station, which was established in war-torn South Lebanon in 1981. In collaboration with a local Christian militia and Israeli political leaders, eschatologically minded Americans funded and operated this channel, believing that their evangelism would hasten Christ’s Second Coming. Over nearly two decades, the terrestrial (and later satellite) channel would introduce millions of viewers to wholesome American family programming, American sports like professional wrestling and football, and a specific style of Arab televangelism heretofore unfamiliar in the region. The talk will relate the role of local interlocutors in promoting this station, explore the messianic vision of its backers, and consider the political and religious perspectives of its supporters and detractors.

Reception to follow.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Robert Aram and Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Professor in Armenian Genocide Studies

To Talk or Not to Talk? Social Psychological Perspectives on Dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians in the Diaspora
2026-03-26 10:30 - 12:00 | Online
Dr. Slieman Halabi: Wuppertal University

This talk offers insights into how Israelis and Palestinians living in Europe make sense of asymmetries in power through processes of (dis)identification with the homeland, constructions of moral responsibility, and orientations toward action. The analysis draws on a dialogue group that met over a period of five months, beginning one day after the October 7th attacks, and continuing through a combination of online and in-person meetings during the devastating war in Gaza.

Diaspora identity plays a central role in shaping engagement with homeland politics. Social psychology has understood identification with groups and nations as a process of self-categorization determined by individual’s choice to identify or not identify with the group. Nation-states actively sustain this process by shaping the extent to which national identities are kept alive through practices of banal nationalism. For stateless groups, sustaining national identity often requires more proactive engagement with collective memory and national narratives. How do these disparities manifest in dialogue encounters?

Feeling and Knowing: An Uprooting of Things
2026-03-26 16:30 - 18:00 | Clark University, Higgins Lounge, Dana Commons – 2nd Floor, 36 Maywood Street, Worcester, MA, 01603, United States
What does it mean to feel things we know? How do we know what we feel? When do our emotions capture the truth, and when do they deceive us? This Clark faculty roundtable will showcase lightning talks on the early modern roots of how we think about emotions today. It will examine how we can look to the past, not for answers to our present realities but to offer new insights on who we have always been. Faculty will share snippets from their research about the ways emotions manifest to determine how we know ourselves and engage with each other.

Featured speakers will include Lisa Kasmer (English), Justin Shaw (English), and Wiebke Deimling (Philosophy). Kathleen Palm Reed (Psychology) will offer commentary. Benjamin Korstvedt (Visual and Performing Arts) will moderate.

This event continues the Roots of Everything, a lecture series sponsored by Early Modernists Unite (EMU)—a faculty collaborative bringing together scholars of medieval and early modern Europe and America—in conjunction with the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities. The series highlights various aspects of modern existence originating in the early modern world by connecting past and present knowledge.

Admission is free and open to the public.

Lone Star Screening and Q+A
2026-03-26 19:00 - 22:00 | Razzo Hall, Traina Center for the Arts, 92 Downing St, Worcester, MA, 01610, United States
Please join Clark University’s Department of Visual and Performing Arts as we welcome director, screenwriter, editor, actor, and novelist John Sayles to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his Oscar-nominated film, Lone Star!

Lone Star premiered on March 16, 1996 at South by Southwest (SXSW). Sayles’s original screenplay for the film was nominated for an Academy Award, BAFTA award, and Golden Globe Award.

From Criterion.com:

“A keen observer of America’s social fabric, writer-director John Sayles uncovers the haunted past buried beneath a small Texas border town in this sprawling neo-western mystery. When a skeleton is discovered in the desert, lawman Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper), son of a legendary local sheriff, begins an investigation that will have profound implications both for him personally and for all of Rio County, a place still reckoning with its history of racial violence. Sayles’s masterful film—novelistic in its intricacy and featuring a brilliant ensemble cast, including Joe Morton, Elizabeth Peña, and Kris Kristofferson—quietly subverts national mythmaking and lays bare the fault lines of life at the border.”
