Benjamin Bagby's unique performance of the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf in its original language, accompanying himself with an authentic Anglo-Saxon harp, has enthralled audiences around the world. In our modern print culture, the reading of literature is primarily a silent, personal and solitary experience. Bagby's performance brings his audiences back into the ancient literary experience, which tended to be oral (and often musical), social and communal. Listeners have called Bagby's performance "a triumphant demonstration of the power of storytelling," noting that "when Benjamin Bagby speaks it is as if a thousand years have disappeared." Modern English subtitles provided. |

Junot Díaz's novel "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" has won almost everything: the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction, the Mercantile Library Center's John Sargent Prize for First Novel, best book of 2007 by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Sun-Times and The New York Daily News, and Time magazine's "novel of the year." He faced off with Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report and his writing was characterized in The New York Times as "so original it can only be described as Mario Vargas Llosa meets Star trek meets David Foster Wallace meets Kanye West." |

Dr. David Pilgrim is the Chief Diversity Officer at Ferris State University and one of this country's leading experts on issues relating to multiculturalism, diversity and race relations. He has been interviewed by National Public Radio, Time magazine, the British Broadcasting Corporation and dozens of newspapers, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. Pilgrim is best known as the founder and curator of the Jim Crow Museum - a 5,000-piece collection of racist artifacts located at Ferris State University. The museum uses objects of intolerance to teach tolerance.
Pilgrim's Lecture, "THEM: Images of Separation," will showcase items from popular culture used to stereotype different groups. The negative imagery -- found on postcards, license plates, games, souvenirs, and costumes -- promote stereotyping against such groups as African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanics, Jews and poor whites, as well as those who are "other" in terms of body type or sexual orientation. Dr. Pilgrim will discuss the connection between race and cultural memorabilia to show how discrimination and stereotyping are not just black/white issues, but much more pervasive. |
