SUMMARY:How to Watch Weird Horror with Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece
DESCRIPTION:For many scholars and journalists\, cinema seems to be in its death throes\, especially in terms of theatrical viewing. Yet horror movies top the box office\, with studios like A24\, Blumhouse\, and Neon churning out a constant stream of terror amid excitement around so-called “elevated horror.” How can we explain this seeming contradiction? Please join us for a talk with Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece\, Associate Professor\, English and Film Studies\, who will take listeners on a brief tour of the history of weird and eco horror film and touch on some of its most salient characteristics in order to theorize what it means to watch horror in the theater versus streaming and why we want to watch it today. \n

SUMMARY:Reading by Donna Stonecipher
DESCRIPTION:The poet\, Donna Stonecipher\, is a translator\, living in Berlin. She is the author of six books of poetry\, most recently The Ruins of Nostalgia. This particular book is a series of prose poems remarking on her different nostalgic views on Seattle\, her hometown. And juxtaposing that to what nostalgia might mean to Berlin. Germany has a complicated history. And Berlin\, in particular\, where rebuilding has to account for its very recent history as a divided city.

SUMMARY:MAP Day Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:This is a day for exploration\, reflection\, and planning. It is a celebration of learning in its broader sense. In place of regular classes\, participate in special activities designed to reflect on where you are in your educational journey and the steps you need to take to make it where you want to go. \nMAP Day happenings include workshops for students at every stage of their college career and advising sessions for each academic program area\, as well as sessions on topics such as study abroad\, life and career planning\, honors and scholars programs\, and financial planning. There will be a major fair and a graduate school fair\, as well as other career-related programming. (The full schedule of activities will be available soon.) \nThe day’s events also include an academic session in which faculty engage in an interdisciplinary conversation to discuss the topic of “Abundance and reciprocity” from their disciplinary perspectives. The theme was inspired by the first-year students’ common reading selection\, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World\, by Robin Wall Kimmerer. \nAnswering your reflective MAP Questions is required for graduation and you can complete them during MAP Day. Please talk with your advisor if you have questions.
