Upcoming Events
The World Languages Film Festival: Die Welle
Cultural
The World Languages Film Festival presents Die Welle in German with English subtitles.
Based on a true story, this German film follows a high school teacher who conducts a social experiment to demonstrate the allure of autocracy. What begins as a classroom exercise spirals into a chilling demonstration of how easily a community can embrace fascism, with devastating consequences.
Rating: Not rated by the MPAA in the U.S., but often considered appropriate for ages 15+ or R equivalent.
Intense thematic content about autocracy and fascism, with violence and disturbing psychological effects.
Research Lecture with Andrea Baldwin
Lecture/Readings
In her 2022 book, A Decolonial Black Feminist Theory of Reading and Shade: Feeling the University, Andrea Baldwin uses Black and decolonial feminist theorizing along with a queer of color critique to examine the university as an affective space. This space often causes marginalized and minoritized individuals to feel out of place and out of time. Baldwin developed the concept of “Shad(e)y theoretics” to encapsulate this idea.In this presentation, Baldwin builds on her theorizing to offer insights into the current moment in US politics. She explores the seemingly easy cooptation and, in some cases, cooperation of university administration in erasing marginalized and minoritized communities and their scholarship. While this erasure is not unexpected from a decolonial perspective, it remains deeply painful. Using indigenous feminist and Black feminist ecological thought, Baldwin provides thoughts on how to navigate the current epistemic and affective violence experienced by Black, brown, indigenous, and queer scholars in the US academy.

Contemporary Legends in a Polarized World (Derek Agard Distinguished Lecture)
Lecture/Readings
In a country where trust is at an all-time low and polarization at an all-time high, is everything a legend? Using examples of contemporary or “urban” legends from across the US, Tom Mould, Professor of Anthropology and Folklore (Butler University), explores new approaches to legend research that help us navigate our current landscape of fake news, conspiracy theories, and echo chambers. In the process, Professor Mould upends some long held beliefs about what contemporary legends are, what they do, and what they can tell us about ourselves and the polarized world we live in.
