SU’s Fulton Faculty Colloquium Series Announced

SALISBURY, MD---Faculty in Salisbury University’s Charles R. and Martha N. Fulton School of Liberal Arts share their research and expertise during this semester’s Fulton Faculty Colloquia series.

Presentations are 3:30-5 p.m. the first Tuesday of each month in Conway Hall Room 152 and available through Zoom.

Speakers include:

• September 7 – “University System of Maryland Board of Regents Award Winners” with Drs. Céline Carayon and Kristen Walton, History: Carayon traces how the memory of disasters was mobilized in official printed accounts, personal and official correspondence, and in pictures (maps and engravings) to construct a positive narrative of imperial growth, resulting in revisionist histories of Indigenous trauma and displacement. Walton explores the intersection of politics and religions during the volatile first decade of the Scottish Reformation.
• October 5 – “Sexual Identities and Social Development” with Drs. Kara French, History and Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Lance Garmon, Psychology: French considers three groups of 19th-century Americans whose sexual abstinence provoked almost as much concern as the idea of sexual excess and sheds light on the creation of sexual identities in the present, including the growing visibility of the asexuality movement. Garmon explores whether the already high level of gaming activity by young adults provided them with perceived benefits during the pandemic in areas such as coping, socialization and distraction from reality.
• November 2 – “Communication with Ourselves and Our Communities” with Drs. Corinne Pubill, Modern Languages and Intercultural Studies, and Emily Story, History: Pubill offers a reflection on the work of the Lower Shore Vulnerable Populations Task Force as well as the involvement of SU students in its community service. Story explores conceptions of nature and efforts to exploit and tame the environment in Brazilian history.
• December 7 – “From Jazz to Jest: Use of Comedy and Chords” with Drs. Timothy Stock, Philosophy, and Jerry Tabor, Music, Theatre and Dance: Stock’s presentation serves as an overview of the interpretation advanced in Laughter’s Martyr, a book manuscript on Kierkegaard’s theory of the comic and its religious significance. Tabor demonstrates how performers have choices in chord successions and even formal design by using fixed progressions as background schemes that can be reinterpreted and then recomposed.
