  • Campus mourns N. Eva Wu, professor of electrical and computer engineering

    N. Eva Wu, 68, professor of electrical and computer engineering, passed away on Friday, Sept. 19, after a brief illness.

    Born in China, Wu earned her bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Northwestern Telecommunications Engineering Institute (now Xidian University) in 1982. She then pursued graduate study at the University of Minnesota, earning her master's degree in 1983 and her doctorate in electrical engineering in 1987. That same year, she began her long and distinguished career at 黑料视频.

    Over more than three decades at Binghamton, Wu rose through the ranks from lecturer to professor, serving as interim chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering from 2005-06. She retired from full-time teaching in 2014, but continued to serve as a half-time professor, remaining deeply committed to her students and her research.

    Wu was a leading expert in robust control, fault detection and power system protection, with her research extending into smart grids, cybersecurity for critical infrastructure and interdisciplinary applications of control theory. Her scholarship produced influential journal articles, book chapters and conference proceedings, and she held a U.S. patent for innovative methods of high-resolution data acquisition. She collaborated with leading institutions worldwide, including NASA Langley Research Center, the Air Force Research Laboratory and universities in the United States, the United Kingdom and China. As a senior member of the IEEE, Wu was recognized not only for her technical contributions but also for her dedication to mentoring young engineers, many of whom have gone on to distinguished careers of their own.

    A service, open to all, will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, at Savage Funeral Home, 338-344 Conklin Ave. At 2:30 p.m., a memorial reception and celebration of life will be held at the Tioga Room at the Holiday Inn Binghamton. All are welcome, but RSVP before Monday, Oct. 13, if possible, at:

    For out-of-town attendees, a hotel block and promotional rates are available at the Holiday Inn until Monday, Oct. 6, with the group code EWM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you contribute to the 黑料视频 Fund in Eva's memory.

  • Pre-Employment Background Checks 鈥 New Employees

    For the past 13 years, 黑料视频 has been operating Management Procedure 633 鈥 Pre-Employment Background Checks in a pilot stage. During this period, several position types were gradually incorporated into the program. The University is now moving to the full implementation stage.

    Effective Oct. 15, 2025, all new hires (staff and faculty) who will be placed on the faculty/staff payroll will be given a conditional offer of employment and be subject to a pre-employment background check. Hiring managers must ensure that the appropriate language (provided by HR) is included in all offer letters and may not allow the employee to begin work until the process is complete and they are notified accordingly by HR.

    The University鈥檚 third-party vendor processes background checks very quickly, so this requirement will not delay the hiring process. The existence of a conviction does not automatically disqualify an individual from employment. Relevant considerations may include, but are not limited to, the nature and number of convictions, their dates and the relationship a conviction has to the duties and responsibilities of the position.

    This policy does not apply to current University employees. However, employees who experience a break in service longer than six months and are subsequently offered re-employment will be subject to this procedure.

    This fully implemented program reflects our continued commitment to maintaining a safe and secure campus community while ensuring fair and consistent hiring practices. The full policy can be found at the link below.

  • Campus mourns Ken Jacobs, Cinema Department co-founder

    Ken Jacobs, 92, Cinema Department co-founder, died Sunday, Oct. 5. The pioneering filmmaker's experiments with cinematic form made him a respected authority of the American avant-garde in his over-65-year career.

    Jacobs was born on May 25, 1933, in Brooklyn. He began to tinker seriously with filmmaking in 1955; he began studying with Hans Hofmann, the German-born artist and influential teacher, the following year, who offered free painting classes in New York City. That same year, Jacobs began working with Jack Smith, another key figure in the early days of American underground cinema, which led to several films, most notably 鈥淏londe Cobra鈥 (1959-63), a portrait of Smith and one of the most influential and popular experimental films ever made.

    From 1966-68, Jacobs and his wife were instrumental in the founding of the Millennium Film Workshop, a nonprofit filmmakers鈥 cooperative that offered production equipment, work space, screenings and classes to the general public.

    By 1969, Jacobs was at the forefront of the American experimental film movement. He began to pursue opportunities to teach, and he led a week-long seminar at what is now 黑料视频. After the successful program, students petitioned the administration to hire Jacobs full-time; along with Professor Larry Gottheim, he created Binghamton鈥檚 Cinema Department, the first of its kind in the State University of New York system. The school became Jacobs鈥 professional home on and off for years.

    Beginning in 1999, he embarked on a multi-decade series of audiovisual experiments he called Eternalisms, in which two-dimensional images were rendered three-dimensional through a complex editing system of his own invention. When these Eternalisms are screened on 2-D surfaces, the human eye perceives an illusory depth previously unavailable without specialized 3-D glasses.

  • NYS Policy on Meetings with Foreign Government Representatives

    New York State issued a "Statewide Policy on Meetings with Foreign Government Representatives" on Sept. 2, 2025.

    In compliance with this policy, all SUNY campuses have been directed by the SUNY Office of General Counsel and the NYS Governor鈥檚 Office to disclose for review and approval to SUNY and the NYS Department of Homeland Security all meetings, whether routine or not, involving foreign government officials or political representatives from countries designated by federal regulation as a 鈥渇oreign country of concern,鈥 which currently includes China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.

    In addition, the policy requires campus to disclose for review and approval meetings with foreign government representatives on matters not related to routine functions in the normal course of university business.

    Familiarize yourself with Binghamton鈥檚 webpage on the Compliance Structure for Statewide Policy on Meetings with Foreign Government Representatives at the link below, which provides detailed information on which meetings are included and which are to be excluded.

    Binghamton has created an internal system for reviewing requests for all meetings and travel with foreign government representatives. On international travel, the first step remains submission to the "Travel Office of the Request & Authorization to Travel" (R&A). You are required to submit the form at least 30 days in advance of your proposed trip. The request will be reviewed internally by the International Education and Global Affairs (IEGA) office who will then forward it to the SUNY Office of General Counsel, if appropriate.

    If international travelers are meeting you on campus or via email/phone, the first step of the process is to complete the appropriate form linked on the compliance webpage and submit to the office of IEGA.

    Review the webpage linked above and reach out to IEGA at iega@binghamton.edu with any questions. Share this memo with faculty and staff in your unit, as appropriate.

  • Binghamton's principles of community

    Dear campus community,

    We want to inform and remind you of two core principles that serve as essential elements of our community.

    We are a campus community representative of a rich, diverse and vibrant group of people, brought together from all corners of the globe to live, work and study together. Our vast and varied experiences allow us a tremendous opportunity to learn from others who are different, formulate enhanced research outcomes, express ideas and work together toward the common goals of providing a transformational, world-class education to students and a rewarding career for employees.

    We must do so with civility and mutual respect at the forefront.

    Every member of the campus community has a unique perspective on their place in the world and must be allowed the space and the freedom to do so safely and respectfully. Our community thrives when we treat and respond to one another鈥檚 ideas with civility.

    This community, however, will not tolerate racism, hatred or bigotry. We will not tolerate attacks or incitement to violence of any kind on individuals or groups. This includes Islamophobia, antisemitism and threats or insults directed at individuals or groups based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability status, political affiliation or other traits.

    Anyone who has experienced or witnessed an act of hate, bias or discrimination may submit a bias incident report. The University takes all incident reports seriously and investigates them thoroughly. The University Counseling Center (UCC), the Dean of Students Office, the University Ombudsman and the CARE Team can also offer support. Anyone who needs immediate assistance can contact University Police at (607) 777-2222.

    We have a community that is strong because of its diverse perspectives and experiences. We are at our best when we foster a respectful, inclusive, equitable and welcoming environment and when all our voices are fully supported.

    Sincerely,

    Donald Hall
    Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs

  • Statement on Title VI coordinator

    On April 29, 2025, the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees passed a resolution requiring all state-operated campuses to designate a Title VI coordinator. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. This law also protects individuals from harassment based on actual or perceived ancestry, ethnic characteristics, citizenship or residency in a country with a predominant religion or distinct religious identity.

    Title VI applies to all SUNY campuses and activities or programs, including admissions, recruitment, student services, grading and academic programs. Under Title VI, educational institutions must address any discriminatory speech or conduct, whether on or off campus and document all reports, investigations and outcomes related to complaints.

    In response to this mandate, 黑料视频 has appointed Ada Robinson-Perez, executive director of diversity education, as the campus's Title VI coordinator. Recruitment for a new Title VI specialist reporting to Robinson-Perez is underway to support the processing of bias incidents inquiries and complaints of discrimination investigations. These initiatives demonstrate Binghamton's commitment to fostering a campus environment where all students can pursue their academic goals without harassment and bias.

    Faculty and staff members who know a student experiencing unwelcome, harassing conduct or discrimination are required to report by filing a bias incident report or an internal discrimination complaint. Individuals who believe they have experienced discrimination may also submit these reports. For questions and additional information about reporting obligations or to request training for faculty, staff or students, contact the Title VI coordinator through the Office of Equity and Access by emailing stopbias@binghamton.edu or calling 607-777-4775.

  • Reaching our destination 鈥 ending the Road Map

    To the campus community,

    The University鈥檚 strategic plan, the Road Map to Premier, has ended. As I prepare to leave my duties as president later this semester, ending the Road Map is a necessary step to allow Binghamton鈥檚 next president the opportunity to create and communicate their vision for the University鈥檚 future.

    At first, we established five strategic priorities that drove our planning and decision-making, later adding a sixth priority. Those priorities were:
    - Creative Activities
    - Learning Community
    - Inclusive Campus
    - Engagement
    - Strategic Investments
    - Internationalization

    Since the Road Map launched in 2013, the University has used those six priorities as guideposts for improving and expanding the work it does and the services it provides while adhering to its mission and values. The Road Map also evolved over time, providing campus leadership a mechanism to address pressing and emerging needs and gather invaluable feedback from members of the campus community. Simply put, the Road Map has strengthened teaching, learning, research, student success and the physical spaces on campus 鈥 and so many more elements of what makes Binghamton a truly premier public university.

    I believe that the greatest success of the Road Map was the broad scope of individuals from across the campus community who participated and engaged in strategic planning. Binghamton students, especially the Road Map interns, were instrumental in its success, as were the hundreds of faculty and staff who served on Road Map committees and worked to put new initiatives and programs in motion. To all those who were ever part of the Road Map, thank you for making Binghamton bigger and better without losing sight of what makes this such a special place. As the Road Map ends, know that we have reached our destination. Thank you!

    Sincerely,

    Harvey Stenger
    President

  • "In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919鈥1946" 鈥 on view through Dec. 6

    Visit the 黑料视频 Art Museum this semester to view the fall 2025 exhibition, "In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919鈥1946". The exhibition will run through Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025.

    The two-and-a-half decades between 1919 and 1946 witnessed the development of an American art that sought to capture a country in the midst of transformation. Through celebration and crisis, artists held up a mirror to their fellow citizens, showing their lives, their landscapes and their dreams. "In the American Grain" tells this story through artworks addressing a range of themes, drawn from the rich holdings of the 黑料视频 Art Museum and Libraries, the Roberson Museum and Science Center and the Art Bridges Collection. In particular, the exhibition acknowledges the generosity of Gil and Deborah Williams, whose donations to the Art Museum are extensively featured. Together, they reveal how history shaped art during these years, and how artists themselves responded to history in the making. This exhibition is curated by Tom McDonough, professor of art history.

    Support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.

    Also visit the Museum鈥檚 Lower Galleries featuring three exhibitions curated by students: "Superposition: Examining Boundaries in East Asian Religious Art", curated by Kate Langsdorf 鈥25; "The Visual Language of Grief", curated by Molly Rudden 鈥25; and "Destabilizing 鈥渢he Brain鈥: Imagining 黑料视频", curated by Bassie Chin 鈥26.

  • Projects requested for "Launch Your Career Skills" partnership with SSD and Fleishman Career Center

    The Fleishman Career Center and the Services for Students with Disabilities office are seeking partners for the Launch Your Career Skills Initiative. This initiative came out of Binghamton's acceptance into a SUNY Program called "Pathways to Inclusion", where the Fleishman Career Center was chosen to work with a consultant to increase access to career development opportunities for students with disabilities.

    Through the Pathways to Inclusion Program, SSD and the Fleishman Career Center created 'Launch Your Career Skills', an initiative aimed at providing students with an opportunity to gain industry-relevant skills and explore career paths through hands-on experience. Students with disabilities can apply for this paid program, which will include an eight-week project-based experience and a variety of professional development initiatives before and after the project.

    The Fleishman Career Center is looking for campus partners to serve as project host sites. This means you would identify a project that fits your office needs, and will be assigned a student from the Initiative to complete that project over eight weeks.

Construction

  • New traffic patterns for easier access to Lot M

    As part of ongoing construction projects on campus, 黑料视频 is making adjustments to traffic flow to reduce congestion and improve parking access. Beginning Thursday, Aug. 28, new traffic patterns will go into effect near Lot M.

    - New Bunn Hill Road access direct to Lot M: A temporary 2-way service drive has been created off Bunn Hill Road. This drive will connect to Clearview Road, bringing you directly to Lot M4, thus avoiding all on-campus traffic. This entrance is located .30 miles further up Bunn Hill Road from the current lower Bunn Hill access (near the baseball stadium). Note that this is a 2-way only to Lot M4 and back to Bunn Hill Road.

    - Clearview Road: Traffic will be one-way from West Drive to the entrance of Lot M4. This new flow is designed to provide a more direct route into and out of Lot M, helping to ease backups and save time during peak travel periods.

    - Upper Bunn Hill Access: The Upper Bunn Hill Road entrance (near Hillside Community) had been temporarily closed due to work necessary for an off-campus construction project. It will now be reopened, providing additional access to the campus.

    Together, these changes create additional entry and exit points that steer traffic away from the busiest pedestrian and construction zones, helping to make your commute smoother and safer. Clear signage will be posted to guide you through the new routes.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation as 黑料视频 continues to improve its campus.

  • Grace Hall construction update

    The contractor for the Grace Hall project began mobilization Monday, Sept. 29. The contractors will bring in heavy equipment and start fencing the area. Initial construction activity began on Wednesday, Oct. 1, and includes earthwork, tree removal, stump grinding and site grading. This initial round of work is expected to last approximately two weeks and will take place during business hours.

    This work will be fairly loud, particularly in rooms closer to the site. Residents of Mountainview and CIW who need guidance in finding quieter areas to work during this initial phase of construction should reach out to their respective residential life area offices for support. Safety of the campus community in the area of the project site is paramount. Do not travel into fenced areas, even when construction activities are not prominent. Large construction vehicles will be very active. It is vital that everyone follow detour signage at the site and under no circumstances travel into areas of active construction. The work area will be fenced with permanent fencing for the duration of the project.

    Grace Hall in Mountainview College will be a 362-bed residence hall that will feature a suite-style design 鈥 in alignment with the collegiate structure of its partner buildings 鈥 and will share living space, private bedrooms, and include community areas and other amenities. New landscaping, including tree plantings and outside gathering spaces, are part of the project, which is scheduled for completion for the fall 2027 semester.

    More information and renderings can be found here and on the Facilities Management construction news page. For residential matters/concerns, contact your respective residential life area office.

    As of Aug. 4, 2025, adding funds to a BUC$ account on a student ID card will no longer be available. Any residual BUC$ balances will remain available for use through May 29, 2026. Dining Services and the University Bookstore will continue to accept BUC$ during this time. Students may also convert BUC$ balances to dining dollars or request a refund by emailing BinghamtonMealPlanOffice.USA@sodexo.com or visiting the Meal Plan office in UU-B02. Students are encouraged to spend BUC$ balances this academic year. Changes to student printing quotas have been made.

  • Fall 2025 Visiting Film/Video Speakers Series today

    Join the Visiting Film/Video Artists and Speakers Series at 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, in Lecture Hall 6 for the next fall 2025 installation, featuring the work of Olga Tchepikova-Treon, "Allegiances of Difference in Frank Moore鈥檚 Misfit Cinema." Admission is free.

    Frank Moore proudly refers to himself as a misfit artist. Misfits, he insists, are essential in today鈥檚 culture. Their calling is to push back the limits of society in the interest of protecting free expression. While he acknowledges that there are many ways to be a misfit artist, Moore considers himself lucky to have been born with cerebral palsy. Being 鈥渟pastic,鈥 he claims, provides him with certain 鈥渢echniques of freedom鈥 that advance his artistic work. In this talk, Tchepikova-Treon will first introduce Moore鈥檚 oeuvre alongside the broader history of disability, performance and experimental cinema, emphasizing his recurring criticism of the merits and values that are both ascribed onto and expected from the work of disabled artists. They will then present Moore鈥檚 short collage film "Outrageous Dream" (1984) as a concrete example of what playwright, scholar and artist Ron Whyte calls "allegiances of difference," where disability experience and experimental film practices work in conjunction to explore and subvert the aesthetic and symbolic authority of normalcy, tradition and convention that permeates dominant film cultures.

    Tchepikova-Treon is a visiting assistant professor of film and cinema studies at NYU鈥檚 Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where she teaches courses on documentary cinema, medicine and film, and misfit cinema histories. Her research examines how disability 鈥 as both lived experience and formal aesthetic 鈥 permeates alternative, experimental and underground cinema cultures. Strongly invested in film exhibition as a community-building practice, Tchepikova-Treon serves as a board member and projectionist at the non-profit screening venue Trylon Cinema in Minneapolis, where she also co-edits the theater鈥檚 community blog Perisphere, soliciting contributions from local writers to support and promote repertory cinema programming.

  • School of Computing Invited Speaker Colloquia Series today

    Join the School of Computing for a presentation titled "Applications of AI Language Models for Biomedical Research" by invited speaker Dong Xu, from the University of Missouri-Columbia, from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, in EB T1 or on Zoom at the link below.

    Large language models (LLMs), trained on vast datasets, are opening new frontiers in biomedical research, especially when integrated with prompt engineering, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), reinforcement learning and AI agents. In this presentation, Xu will highlight work in applying these methods to diverse biomedical challenges. Xu and their team developed RAG and prompt refinement strategies to improve gene relationship prediction and built AI agents for navigating knowledge bases. In protein modeling, they introduced S-PLM, a contrastive learning-based, 3D structure-aware protein language model that enhances sequence-based predictions. They trained a large protein language model, Prot2Token, to handle various protein prediction tasks in a unified framework. Prompting protein language models also improved tasks such as signal peptide and targeting signal prediction. Additionally, they applied prompt-based learning to large single-cell RNA-seq models, leading to improved performance across multiple single-cell analysis tasks, and also developed a reinforcement learning approach that enhances cell line-specific subcellular localization prediction by optimizing protein-protein interaction networks, marking the first application of the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) framework in protein bioinformatics. Collectively, results demonstrate the transformative potential of LLMs and AI agents in advancing biological discovery.

    Dong Xu is the Curators鈥 Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, with appointments in the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center and the Informatics Institute at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He obtained his doctorate from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 1995 and did two years of postdoctoral work at the U.S. National Cancer Institute. He was a staff scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory until 2003 before joining the University of Missouri, where he served as department chair of computer science during 2007-16. Over the past 30 years, he has conducted research in many areas of computational biology and bioinformatics, including single-cell data analysis, protein structure prediction and modeling, protein post-translational modifications, protein localization prediction, computational systems biology, biological information systems and bioinformatics applications in human, microbes and plants. His research since 2012 has focused on the interface between bioinformatics and deep learning. He has published more than 500 papers with more than 30,000 citations and an H-index of 91 according to Google Scholar. He was elected to the rank of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellow in 2015 and American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) Fellow in 2020.

  • "Trans Studies as Book Historical Method" CEMERS lecture: Nov. 5

    The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies will host a lecture titled "Trans Studies as Book Historical Method" at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, in the IASH Conference Room, LN 1106, with guest speaker J. D. Sargan, assistant professor of English at the University of Georgia.

    Archival collections are political spaces: the decisions that govern whose histories are preserved, when and by whom are not neutral. They reflect the communities that make them. For most of Western history, queer, trans and gender non-conforming people were excluded from such communities. As a result, the experiences of premodern gender-divergent people went largely unreported, and reconstructing such histories relies on the piecing together of ephemeral glimpses. Tackling these limitations requires generative modes of reading听through听the archive to seek out trans lives beyond the trace. Literary scholars have developed tactics and tools to read through such traces, but how do we move beyond the limits of the trace to uncover a more expansive history of premodern gender non-conformity?听
    听
    In this talk, Sargan suggests that traditional methods in manuscript bibliography are shaped by a patriarchal heterosexist societal structure. They offer tactics used by trans and queer theorists to respond to such power structures, circumventing the limitations imposed by traditional approaches to manuscript history.

  • Fellows Speaker Series presentation: Nov. 5

    Join The Institute for the Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) from noon to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, in LN 1106 (the IASH room) for History Professor Nancy Appelbaum鈥檚 presentation, 鈥淗ow Should We Study the History of Racism and Anti-Racism in Latin America?鈥

    Time and time again, Latin American leaders claimed that they had vanquished racism and racial tensions. Latin Americans have expressed pride in having racially 鈥渃ordial,鈥 鈥渢olerant鈥 and 鈥渄emocratic鈥 societies. Even today, racism is often said to be negligible, especially in comparison to the U.S., in part because Latin American racial categories are generally more fluid and subtly differentiated than those of the North. Yet, historically, Latin Americans of color have also repeatedly pointed out that they suffer from discrimination. Following their lead, Applebaum argues that we, as citizens and humanities scholars of the Americas, should study and talk about race. But 鈥 this is the really hard part 鈥 we must find ways to engage in historically informed conversations that do not simply reify categories emanating from Europe or the U.S. The variability and historically constructed concept of 鈥渞ace鈥 has been reflected in diverse Latin American ideas and practices around whiteness as well as blackness, mixedness and indigeneity. This presentation draws on specific examples from several countries in the nineteenth through the twentieth centuries to think about how marginalized groups have contested discrimination and inequality, and will examine the particular forms that anti-racist struggles have taken in Latin America, as well as the backlashes they have sparked.

    The integration of multi-modal sensors into robotic skin is essential for ensuring safety and enabling collaborative work with humans. One of the main challenges in developing robotic skin is scalability, including covering large, metric-scale surfaces, while also reducing sensor costs and automating the assembly process. Advanced semiconductor-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) offer a pathway to low-cost, highly sensitive tactile sensors, bending sensors and other mechanical sensing components. Meanwhile, electronic textile (e-textile) technologies enable the integration of large-area sensors and electronic components through automated manufacturing processes. In this talk, Takamatsu will introduce textile-based capacitive touch sensor technology, large-area MEMS integration and the incorporation of electronic components on metric-scale textiles. In addition, the development of highly sensitive tactile and bending sensors will be presented for robotic applications.

    Seiichi Takamatsu is a professor in the School of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering at 黑料视频.
    He received his bachelor's and master's degrees and his doctorate in mechanical informatics from the University of Tokyo, Japan, in 2003, 2005 and 2009, respectively.

  • Romano lecture featuring Rubina Raja: Nov. 6

    This year鈥檚 Mario and Antoinette Romano lecture will feature archaeologist Rubina Raja, speaking on the topic 鈥淪tatements in Stone: Refining the Historical Past Through Integrating Big Archaeological Datasets from Roman Palmyra.鈥

    Sponsored by the 黑料视频 History Department, the Mario and Antoinette Romano Endowment and Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, the event will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, in Lecture Hall 9 of the Vestal campus.

    Raja is a professor of classical archaeology and art at Denmark鈥檚 Aarhus University, and director of the Danish National Research Foundation鈥檚 Centre of Excellence for Urban Network Evolutions. A specialist in the eastern Mediterranean, her research examines societal and urban development, visual culture, iconography and architecture spanning the Hellenistic to early medieval periods.

    The lecture examines how archaeological evidence from Palmyra 鈥 an oasis city that flourished in the first three centuries CE 鈥 can reshape our understanding of the classical past. While studies of antiquity often center on Greece and Rome, these regions were deeply connected to societies beyond their cores through exchange, conflict and adaptation. Drawing on recent research from the Palmyra Portrait Project and related initiatives, the presentation highlights how material culture, sculpture, landscape and inscriptions from Palmyra offer new perspectives on the ancient world and its ongoing relevance today.

    Join The Institute for the Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) from noon to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, in LN 1106 (the IASH room) for Geoffrey Ramirez, history doctoral fellow, for his presentation, "'I was almost always the only black person there:' Race in the Tabletop Role-playing Community, 1980 鈥 2010".

    Through the late 20th century, the fantasy gaming hobby embraced whiteness. Conventions, game stores and dining room tables were white spaces that engaged in the aesthetics of Western medieval European culture and imagination. Even gaming magazines highlight how players discussed making the hobby more inviting to women over non-white players. Still, in 1987, black fantasy author Charles R. Saunders urged players to look at African cultures, myths and research to create more vibrant and engaging fantasy gaming experiences. But only in the 2010s did fantasy gaming culture begin to engage with non-Western scholarship, history and imagination more actively. Why was race an ignored issue in the fantasy gaming community until more recently, and how did that affect gamers of color? Drawing on oral histories, gaming media and fan magazines, this research explores the history of race in the tabletop role-playing community at the end of the 20th century.

  • 35th annual Bernardo Lecture: Nov. 13

    The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (CEMERS) invites you to join the 35th annual Bernardo Lecture at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13, in the Old Champlain Atrium. The guest speaker, Justin Steinberg, professor of Italian literature at the University of Chicago, will present "Is Dante's Virgil a Jew?". A reception will be held before the lecture at 4:30 p.m.

    This paper will argue that Dante draws on medieval representations of Jews to depict the character Virgil. Like one of the authors of the Hebrew Bible, Virgil鈥檚 texts illuminate those who will come after him, though he is himself blind to their true meaning. His poetry can save Statius, but he is himself damned. The tragedy of the obtuse Virgil is the tragedy of the obtuse Jews. More broadly, Dante found in Christian supersessionism a strategy to deal with his classical and pagan predecessors 鈥 incorporating them into his work but also relegating them, forcing them to serve the Christian poet.

  • Updated Information Literacy (I) General Education requirement workshops

    SUNY has updated the student learning outcomes for the Information Literacy (I) General Education category to include consideration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, beginning fall 2026. To help faculty engage and adapt to these changes, the University Task Force on General Education Updates: Civic Discourse and Artificial Intelligence, and the Center for Learning and Teaching (CLT), are offering two workshops, each tailored to different teaching perspectives.

    Each workshop will review the revised general education learning outcomes and offer practical strategies in light of the new requirement to consider emerging technologies in your courses. Attend the workshop that best suits your perspective or join both for a fuller conversation. During and after the workshops, facilitators and participants will help develop, collect and share resources: assignments, activities, syllabi, rubrics and guidelines for evaluation for instructors who wish to keep or add the "I" designation.

    Join the Center for Learning and Teaching from noon to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, at the Learning Studio LN1324C for Session I. For those who are a little spooked by emerging technologies such as generative AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.), this Halloween session will provide space to discuss and examine concerns and their broader actual and potential implications for the classroom and beyond. The workshop will facilitate conversations about ways/practices to engage emergent technologies while maintaining critical perspectives on their use, application and consequences, including unintended and broader consequences. Participants are welcome to attend in costume 鈥 tricks and treats will be provided.

    Session II will be held on Friday, Nov. 21. Register on B-Engaged at the link below.
