Graphic Solidarity: The Internationalist Outlook of the Cuban
Revolution features posters produced in Cuba during the period
following the revolution through the 1980s. The posters highlighted in this

worldwide and to inspire others in the fight against oppression stemming from
the legacy of imperialism and colonialism. Primarily published by the OSPAAAL organization
based in Havana, these works helped to facilitate the internationalist outlook
and message of the Cuban revolution through their inclusion in the
Tricontinental Magazine which reached people in more than 60 countries
worldwide. The works in this
exhibition are on loan from the collection of Lindsay Webster, Spartanburg,

Art Exhibit: Sacred and Secular: Netherlandish Baroque Paintings from Regional Collections, Richardson Family Art Museum
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Dynamic and theatrical, but also down-to-earth, moralizing, and
sometimes comic. Triumphant, grandiose, and propagandistic, and yet
also intimate and inward. All of these terms are applicable to the
art of the European Baroque, the cultural epoch of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries which produced an unprecedented richness and variety in
creative expression. Complex and conflicting forces across the
political, religious, economic, and social spheres of life account for this
artistic abundance. The Netherlands, a major center of artistic
production during the Baroque period, was home to many of these contrasts and
conflicts within its relatively small geographic boundaries along the northern
coast of Europe.
These diverse cultural forces are evident, in varying ways and
degrees, in a selection of paintings generously lent to Wofford College by the
Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery in Greenville, SC, the Columbia
Museum of Art in Columbia, SC, and the Robicsek Family Collection in Charlotte,
NC.

New Faculty Luncheon-Advising, Holcombe Room
(Academic)
|
Description: |
Our
last New Faculty Orientation Lunch of
the spring semester is on Tuesday, April 9, from 11:30 until 12:50 pm in
the Holcombe Room of Burwell. The topic
for the meeting is advising. Please notice that we are starting 30
minutes later than usual.
Our topic for the luncheon will be a discussion
of the advising process for first- and second-year students, and our guests
will be Dr. Carol Wilson, Professor of English and Coordinator of Academic
Advising, Ms. Elizabeth Rabb, Associate
Athletics Director for Compliance/SWA and Mr. Richard Johnson, Director of
Athletics. They will also be able to help answer questions about
ways to advise students that you might have in your classes, including
first-year students and those students who are struggling to succeed. There
will be time for questions.
A little information on the advising process:
Faculty, starting in their second or third year at the college, are typically
asked to advise first year students for a period of up to two years; during
that time, those students will take a wide range of classes, both major track
and general education courses, leading to the declaration of a major no later
than the end of their sophomore year (at which time the student is assigned a
major advisor.)
This lunch series serves
as a mentoring program for junior faculty but any faculty or staff member is
welcome to attend. Lunches for faculty in their first and second year of
employment are paid for by the Provost’s Office; other faculty members who are
attending can purchase lunch from the Faculty and Staff Dining Room or bring a
bag lunch. Anyone who has a meeting at the 11:00 am hour is welcome to join us
after their meeting concludes.

(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Dynamic and theatrical, but also down-to-earth, moralizing, and
sometimes comic. Triumphant, grandiose, and propagandistic, and yet
also intimate and inward. All of these terms are applicable to the
art of the European Baroque, the cultural epoch of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries which produced an unprecedented richness and variety in
creative expression. Complex and conflicting forces across the
political, religious, economic, and social spheres of life account for this
artistic abundance. The Netherlands, a major center of artistic
production during the Baroque period, was home to many of these contrasts and
conflicts within its relatively small geographic boundaries along the northern
coast of Europe.
These diverse cultural forces are evident, in varying ways and
degrees, in a selection of paintings generously lent to Wofford College by the
Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery in Greenville, SC, the Columbia
Museum of Art in Columbia, SC, and the Robicsek Family Collection in Charlotte,
NC.

Opening Reception: Juried Student Art Exhibition, Richardson Family Art Gallery
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
The Department of Art and Art History is pleased to host the ninth Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition in the Richardson Family Art Gallery. This exhibition brings together works of visual art created by Wofford students over the past three semesters. The works on view were selected from approximately 150 submissions in a wide variety of media. Though the exhibition was open to all Wofford students, whether enrolled in art courses at the college or not, the works submitted and chosen reflect, in large part, the courses that have been offered recently in the media of drawing, painting, printmaking, pottery, photography, and three-dimensional design and the projects undertaken in those courses. This year’s jurors were Ambrin Ling and Marisa Adesman, Hub-City artists-in-residence. The opening reception for this exhibition will be held on Thurs., Apr. 11, from 5-7 pm. This event is free and open to the public!

Lunch Faculty Talk Series, Gray-Jones Room
(Academic)
|
Description: |
Dr. William DeMars (Government and International Affairs), will present Hannah Arendt: In Search of Insights on Deliberation
and Judgment.
Abstract: In search of insights on deliberation, both
personal and political, I have turned to Hannah Arendt—as a companion on the
journey rather than for an overarching theory. Arendt (1906—1975)
undertook her own personal and political journey, including romance, betrayal,
three narrow escapes, flight as a refugee across land and sea, a productive and
controversial exile in America, and many intense, transformational friendships.
Along the way, Arendt made a series of judgments, not only practical judgments
of what to do, but also piercing, retrospective recognitions—judgments of her
experience of what had occurred and what was there in front of us.
Lunch is available for faculty.

Description: |

Revolution features posters produced in Cuba during the period

Tricontinental Magazine which reached people in more than 60 countries
worldwide. The works in this

Art Exhibit: Sacred and Secular: Netherlandish Baroque Paintings from Regional Collections, Richardson Family Art Museum
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Dynamic and theatrical, but also down-to-earth, moralizing, and
sometimes comic. Triumphant, grandiose, and propagandistic, and yet
also intimate and inward. All of these terms are applicable to the
art of the European Baroque, the cultural epoch of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries which produced an unprecedented richness and variety in
creative expression. Complex and conflicting forces across the
political, religious, economic, and social spheres of life account for this
artistic abundance. The Netherlands, a major center of artistic
production during the Baroque period, was home to many of these contrasts and
conflicts within its relatively small geographic boundaries along the northern
coast of Europe.
These diverse cultural forces are evident, in varying ways and
degrees, in a selection of paintings generously lent to Wofford College by the
Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery in Greenville, SC, the Columbia
Museum of Art in Columbia, SC, and the Robicsek Family Collection in Charlotte,
NC.

Art Exhibit: Graphic Solidarity: The Internationalist Outlook of the Cuban Revolution
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Graphic Solidarity: The Internationalist Outlook of the Cuban
Revolution features posters produced in Cuba during the period
following the revolution through the 1980s. The posters highlighted in this
exhibition focus on Cuba’s efforts to spread the messages of their revolution
worldwide and to inspire others in the fight against oppression stemming from
the legacy of imperialism and colonialism. Primarily published by the OSPAAAL organization
based in Havana, these works helped to facilitate the internationalist outlook
and message of the Cuban revolution through their inclusion in the
Tricontinental Magazine which reached people in more than 60 countries
worldwide. The works in this
exhibition are on loan from the collection of Lindsay Webster, Spartanburg,
SC. Curated by Katie McCorkle, this exhibition is a culmination of
her year-long Art History and Government honors project.

Art Exhibit: Sacred and Secular: Netherlandish Baroque Paintings from Regional Collections, Richardson Family Art Museum
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Dynamic and theatrical, but also down-to-earth, moralizing, and
sometimes comic. Triumphant, grandiose, and propagandistic, and yet
also intimate and inward. All of these terms are applicable to the
art of the European Baroque, the cultural epoch of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries which produced an unprecedented richness and variety in
creative expression. Complex and conflicting forces across the
political, religious, economic, and social spheres of life account for this
artistic abundance. The Netherlands, a major center of artistic
production during the Baroque period, was home to many of these contrasts and
conflicts within its relatively small geographic boundaries along the northern
coast of Europe.
These diverse cultural forces are evident, in varying ways and
degrees, in a selection of paintings generously lent to Wofford College by the
Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery in Greenville, SC, the Columbia
Museum of Art in Columbia, SC, and the Robicsek Family Collection in Charlotte,
NC.

Mathematics Colloquium, Olin 101
(Academic)
|
Description: |
Dr. Anne Catlla will give a talk titled, "How Mathematicians Can Detect Gerrymandering". In recent years, mathematicians have found themselves invited into a new room ? the courtroom. As lawyers and judges attempt to answer the question of how much gerrymandering is too much gerrymandering, mathematicians have stepped up with tools based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, random walks, and statistics. In this talk, we will examine three mathematical tools that have appeared in recent gerrymandering court cases: the efficiency gap and two outlier analyses. For each of these techniques, we will see how the approach works in light of certain democratic values and how each has been received by the courts, and we will delve more deeply into the mathematics of the random walk analysis. There will be a reception from 2:30-3:00 pm in Olin 204, followed by the talk from 3:00-4:00 pm in Olin 101.
