The spring 2020 “Conversations in and out of the Disciplines” series kicks off Friday, February 28, as Fiona Beckett, assistant professor of art conservation, presents “A Closer Look at School of Rembrandt’s Portrait of a Young Man in an Armchair at the Memorial Art Gallery.” The talk, followed by a brief Q&A, will begin at 3:00 p.m. in Ketchum Hall 320. A short wine and cheese reception will follow. Everyone is welcome.
Please also mark your calendars for the second and third talks of the spring semester. Kristen Pastore-Capuana, assistant professor of English, will present “Crossing Boundaries: Educators and Students as Community Change Agents” on Friday, April 24; and Jevon Hunter, Woods-Beals Endowed Chair in Urban Education in the School of Education, and interim chair of the Social and Psychological Foundations of Education and Adult Education departments, will present “#BlackBoyJoy...All Day, E’erday: Learning from the Literate Lives of Buffalo’s African-American Adolescent Males—with Appreciation, Gratitude, and Love” on Friday, May 1. Both will be held at 3:00 p.m. in Ketchum Hall 320.
The “Conversations” series was started over a decade ago by Ann Colley, SUNY Distinguished Professor Emerita of English, to “celebrate and draw attention to the research being done in various departments at Buffalo State College.” Over the last decade, colleagues from Anthropology, Art Conservation, Art History, Biology, Chemistry, English, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science, and Secondary Education, among others, have shared their work with the Buffalo State and Buffalo communities.
