Join us for a SLC Faculty @ Home screening and discussion of "The House on Coco Road" with Filmmaking faculty member Damani Baker ’96 at 7:00 PM Eastern Time.

First-hand accounts from activists Angela Davis, Fania Davis, and Fannie Haughton weave together director Damani Baker's family portrait of utopian dreams, resistance, and civil unrest with a film score composed by music luminary Meshell Ndegeocello. This discussion will be moderated by Brian Emery ’07. Advance registration is required. Links to view the film and participate in the event via zoom will be shared with registrants on Friday, September 18 or email alum@sarahlawrence.edu.

Through fiction, memoir and cultural criticism, political activism, and popular culture, American women have expressed their ideas and their desires, their values, and their politics. In this seminar, we will approach the history of the women's liberation movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s through the words, actions and images of all kinds of American women activists. We will explore questions of race, class, sexuality, and gender and analyze the ways in which women intervened and participated in the political and cultural world in that era.

The Creation accounts of the Bible's Book of Genesis highlight human beings as unique creatures of the earth, endowed with gifts that carry responsibilities: godlikeness, "dominion," speech, growing self-awareness, and awareness of the environment - cosmic and terrestrial - in which humans are to live and prosper, and which they are called to foster. These foundational passages in the Bible can refresh our wonder at the worlds we abide in and strengthen our sense of responsibility to the works of earth-care that we are uniquely qualified and challenged to carry on. Seminar at 1:00 PM Eastern Time led by William Shullenberger, Literature Faculty. A zoom link will be sent to registrants within 24 hours of the event or email alum@sarahlawrence.edu.
