Geography Colloquium Series: Dr. Timur Hammond
2025-09-25 12:00 - 13:00 | Grace Conference Room, Higgins University Center
The Transmitted Past: Toward a Rethinking of Geography, Temporality, and Community

How do we make a common world? This talk answers that question by focusing on the role that temporality plays in the making of both places and communities. Articulating a concept of the ‘transmitted past,’ Timur Hammond, associate professor in the Geography and Environment Department at Syracuse University, argues that geographers ought to think of the past as what Annemarie Mol would term the ‘multiple.’ Such an approach helps us better understand the instruments through which we both know and construct the past; the possibility for different pasts to be spatially co-present and yet socially distinct; and the moments of friction and encounter when different places and their pasts breach one into the other. These insights, Dr. Hammond suggests, have broader implications for how geographers and others understand the politics and possibilities of the present moment.

Fresh Check Day
2025-09-25 12:00 - 15:00 | Atwood Plaza
Fresh Check Day is a program created by the Jordan Porco Foundation, and is put on by colleges and universities across the country. This is a mental health promotion and suicide prevention event specifically designed for college students.

Red Square will be transformed into an expo-like, lively, social atmosphere to bring together interactive and educational booths combined with music, prizes, treats, and giveaways for those who participate! The booths feature peer-to peer messaging in a positive, community-focused setting that reflects a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention with topics including specific mental health issues, high-risk populations, stigma reduction, positive coping, life skills, and more.

By engaging the entire college community in this campus-wide movement, students are reminded that they are not alone and that their mental health is valued just as much as their physical health or their academic standing. The event is free to our Clark community and is sponsored by the Office of Wellness Education. The planning and running of this event would not be possible without collaboration from various other campus departments at Clark, a large number of passionate student volunteers, and representatives of The Jordan Porco Foundation.

Defining Antisemitism and Protecting Academic Freedom After October 7
2025-09-30 12:00 - 14:00 | Rose Library, Strassler Center
Speakers:

Frances Tanzer (Rose Professor of Holocaust Studies and Modern Jewish History and Culture, Strassler Center)

Johanna Vollhardt (Associate Professor, Psychology and Director, Peace and Conflict Studies)

Already before October 7, institutions (including colleges and universities) began to adopt narrow definitions of antisemitism—especially the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition—and use them for purposes outside of their original intention of preventing anti-Jewish discrimination. Instead, institutions have deployed definitions of antisemitism to restrict academic freedom, free speech, and to repress activism on campuses—a development many experts worry will increase rather than curb antisemitism. In this workshop, Professors Tanzer and Vollhardt will examine and historicize this paradoxical situation and the controversies around definitions of antisemitism. Participants in this hands-on workshop will learn what exactly the IHRA definition of antisemitism states and how its original drafter, Kenneth S. Stern intended it to be used. We will also examine alternative working definitions of antisemitism (the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism and the Nexus Project definition). Together we will discuss questions such as: What is antisemitism and what is it not? How should antisemitism be distinguished from criticisms of Israel and of Zionism? What are the consequences of adopting definitions of antisemitism in institutions of higher education, and how can we avoid the repression of academic freedom and free speech in the name of preventing antisemitism?

Presented by the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and Peace and Conflict Studies. Cosponsored by the Center for Gender, Race and Area Studies.
