Peace and Justice Lecture Series:  The College will focus its 2008-2009 Peace and Justice Lecture Series on the future of food.  A number of authoritative commentators argue that many of the seemingly disparate problems we are now confronting - obesity, the prevalence of food-borne disease, the persistence of hunger, even the transformation of Third World wilderness into enormous, export-oriented farms - are in fact related to, and even driven by, the basic economic mechanisms that have given rise to the modern food system.  Click here to link to the 2008-2009 schedule. 

School of Arts and Letters Colloquim: Friday, Dec. 12, Tower 4119 at 3:40 - 4:40 p.m. Associate Professor in the Dept. of Communication, Theatre, and Art, Dr. Raymond Gamache, who leads the new Journalism major at St. Scholastica, will present a talk titled "ESPN: The Implosion of Meaning and the Ecstasy of Communication." This presentation explicates the role played by ESPN in the deployment and commodification of the highlight form. Since its initial broadcast on September 7, 1979, ESPN has grown "from a curiosity to the level of Kleenex, Coke or Band-Aids-brand names signifying products…. ESPN has changed how people receive sports." Before ESPN began televising, viewers depended on the three broadcast networks and their local affiliates to receive sports coverage. The mediated sports landscape changed drastically as ESPN's nightly sportscast grew from fifteen minutes to thirty minutes to sixty minutes. Occupying a ubiquitous place in our culture by reaching eighty-two percent of the one hundred and eight million television homes in the United States, ESPN estimates that an average of ninety-four million Americans spend fifty minutes per day or almost six hours per week engaged with ESPN media. Charles Hirshberg asserts that ESPN impacted the television sports landscape "by adopting, and perfecting, an underutilized, unappreciated method of communication: the sports highlight…. ESPN has made highlights the primary means by which the patterns and stories of sports are revealed. It's a perfect medium for modern America…" ESPN's attempt to stamp its imprimatur on sportscast highlights raises basic questions about how culture becomes commodified, produced and reproduced under transnational corporatized modes of acculturation. Refreshments are provided. Presentations last for 40 minutes and are followed by questions and answers.
