Doctor of Humanics The faculty and trustees of Springfield College award the Doctor of Humanics degree to individuals whose lives and deeds have exemplified the Humanics philosophy of Springfield College. This year we are pleased to award the Doctor of Humanics degree to Leonard Baskin, Sandra Eagleton, I. Ira Goldenberg, William H. Gray, III, and David Starr. Leonard Baskin Sculptor, printmaker, graphic artist, bookmaker, watercolorist-leonard Baskin has achieved inter­ national renown at every level of the art world for his vast variety of works depicting the continuo um of human lile. More than forty years ago, Mr. Baskin defined his artistic purSUits in this way: "The forging of works of art is one of our remaining semblances to divinity. We have been incapable of love, wanting in chanty, and despairing of hope ... We have made of Arden a landscape of death. In this garden I dwell, and in limning the hortor, the degradation, and the filth, I hold the cracked mir­ ror up to humans. All previous art makes this course ineVitable. H Mr. Baskin has devoted a lifetime of spiritual. mental. and physical energy to creating works of art with universal themes of concern for victimized men and women, of the dignity and mortality of common people, and of human heroes. His life is a personification of the Springfield College phi­ losophy of humanics. As the College concludes the second year in its three-year focus on social justice, his messages have particular relevance. Mr. Baskin is represented in permanent collections in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Library of Congress, National Gallery of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Fogg Museum at Harvard University, and museums in Philadelphia, Boston, and Worcester. He is a designer of the recently opened Franklin Delano Roosevelt Museum in Washington, D.C., which includes three of his heroic bronze bas-relief sculptures. He has had numerous one-man shows in the United States and Europe and is the recipient of many national and international honors in art. Among his many ties to Western Massachusetts, Mr. Baskin, who lives and works in Leeds, has served as professor of graphics at Smith College and visiting professor of art at Hampshire College He holds a Doctor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Massachusetts. 2 Sandra Eagleton In the fields of resource development and communications, Sandra Eagleton has left a significant imprint on educational institutions, community agencies, and local and national associations across the country. A prolific writer, presenter, and consultant, Dr. Eagleton has nearly thirty years of training and experience in fund development. fund distribution and monitoring, community partnership, and media relations. The range of public- and private-sector clients with which she has worked include the American Society for Training and Development, the Holyoke Women's Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Community Leadership, United Way, the Association of Continuing Higher Education, the YMCA, Northwest Savings Bank, Bay State Medical Center, and several colleges. In addition to being a consultant to Springfield College on numerous projects. Dr. Eagleton was an associate professor of English here from 1979 to 1986 and a grants coordinator for the division of arts and sciences from 1983 to 1986. While on sabbatical from the College, she prepared a text­ book entitled, Women in Literature, which is used nationwide at more than sixty colleges. Dr. Eagleton recently assumed the presidency of the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, an organization serving Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin Counties. The Community Foundation assigns grants, scholarships, and loans by drawing from assets of approxi­ mately $40 million. Previously, she was employed at Holyoke Community College as the director of resource development and the Title III coordinator. An alumna of Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Dr. Eagleton earned her bachelor's degree in English within three years, graduating summa cum laude. She earned her master's degree and doctorate in English from the University of Virginia. then completed her post-doctoral work in pro­ gram assessment and evaluation at Harvard University. Dr. Eagleton is currently a trustee for the Associated Grant Makers of Massachusetts. Her various committee and association memberships have included: Women in Development of Western Massachusetts, Visiting Nurse Association. Greater Holyoke Chamber of Commerce, the National Council for Resource Development, the National Society of Fundraising Executives, and United Way of Holyoke, South Hadley, and Granby. 3 I. Ir8 Goldenberg There are few who personify the concept of human service more ably and admirably than Ira Goldenberg. Founder and first dean of the School of Human Services, Dr. Goldenberg has a long list of accomplishments reflecting his leadership in the areas of community-based alternatives, specialized educational programs, and diversity and cultural pluralism. Dr. Goldenberg's education and career in human services spans three decades. He earned a bach­ elor's degree in psychology and education from the College of the City of New York, then went on to the University of Connecticut where he completed his master's degree and doctorate in social psychology. Dr. Goldenberg also fulfilled a post-doctoral internship in clinical and community psy­ chology at the University of California at Los Angeles. After serving as an assistant professor of psychology a1 Yale University for six years, and as an associate professor of education and psychology at Harvard University for five years, Dr. Goldenberg became the president of Franconia College in 1975. It was at this small, experi­ mental. liberal arts college in rural New Hampshire that he devised the original Human Services Program which was the foundation of the School of Human Services. In 1978, Dr. Goldenberg moved the School of Human Services to New Hampshire College in Manchester where he guided

STEVE: To start, just for those that aren’t aware of the term “carnism,” can we start with that? How do we define carnism? DR. JOY: Carnism is the invisible belief system that conditions us to eat certain animals. It’s essentially the opposite of veganism.

Mulvihill MA in Book Publishing Thesis Spring 2017 Mulvihill 2 Abstract Though many of us have heard the mantra that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, marketers in book publishing bank on the fact that people do and will continue to buy and read books based not only on content, but its aesthetic appeal. This essay will examine the top four marketing trends that can be observed on the Amazon listings for books published on animal rights within the last ten years, specifically relating to titles, cover design, and the intended audience. From graphic adaptations of animals to traditional textbook approaches and animal photography, publishers are striving to evoke interest and investment in literature concerning a politically charged and inherently personal topic.

    095: Eating with Awareness and Compassion rather than Unconscious Conditioning 10 Point Checklist Dr. Melanie Joy Want to gain as much knowledge as possible out of Get Yourself Optimized? Read on below for a 10 point checklist that gives the next, real steps you can take for introducing these insights and optimizing your life. © 2017 Stephan Spencer 10 STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TODAY Want to take charge of your health, wellness, and success? Here are 10 steps that can move you closer to your goals – today. Understand that I was born in a system (carnism) that conditions me to eat certain animals and that it is internalized, but it doesn’t have to be. Realize how carnism has a profound impact on the way I think and feel about animals, and things like abstraction or some animals lacking individuality may not be accurate. Understand that what I eat is a choice. Reduce my participation in carnism by eating less animal products. Humane products are a PR stunt. Eating and using less animal products will help reduce cruelty. Feel my natural connection and empathy to animals that is hardwired into all humans and recognize their individuality. Eat a whole foods, plant-based diet to provide my body with optimum health and to reduce cruelty to animals, humans, and the environment. Support vegan causes, even if I am not vegan, by contributing money or using my influence to share exposure and valuable information. Be a ‘vegan ally’ – positively support the cause and avoid making meat eaters feeling ashamed, helpless, or attached. The more people who support, the better world I live in.

    Why Are We Outraged About Eating Dog, but Not Bacon? Jared Piazza, Lancaster University, Lancaster, England | CC BY ND | https://bit.ly/30q6PA4 This Twitter user is typical: © EPA However this belief really just reflects the fact that people spend more time getting to know dogs than pigs. Many people have dogs as pets and through this relationship with dogs we’ve come to learn about them and care deeply for them. But are dogs really that different from other animals we eat? Images of distressed, caged puppies on their way to be slaughtered at Yulin dog meat festival in China have Though obviously not identical, dogs and pigs are quite caused outrage around the world. Angry Facebook posts, similar in all the features that seem to count morally to tweets and online petitions supported by the likes of most people. They have similar social intelligence with Ricky Gervais and Simon Cowell direct us to gruesome rich emotional lives, both can use human-given cues photos of dead dogs, skinned and boiled and hung up on to locate objects, both might be able to use a mirror to butchers hooks. locate objects (though research suggests pigs might have an advantage here) and, of course, both animals have a I too find myself heartbroken by these images. But as deep capacity to suffer and a desire to avoid pain. a vegan I find myself wondering why isn’t there more outrage in the world over the slaughter of other animals. So whether you believe, like the philosopher Peter Singer, For instance, each year in the US roughly 110m pigs are that sentience should be the basis of our assigning moral killed for meat.

  • Loving Doggies and Eating Pigs
    Loving doggies and eating pigs February 28th, 2010 (1) comment Bill Hall Commentary Dr. Melanie Joy, the provocative vegetarian who rubs the noses of meat eaters like me in our hamburgers and pork chops, has written a book that asks meat people a question about our inconsistent relationship with animals: Why do we treat some of them like beloved relatives and others like dinner? The book is called, "Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism." Joy suggests that we have been taught by our culture to treat some animals like family. We treat dogs and cats like substitute children, albeit weird, little children who run around on all fours and are too lazy to learn how to read and write. She pretty much has us dead to rights when she asks why we love the doggies, regardless of their marginal behavior, while eating pigs, an animal that many assert is more intelligent than dogs and no more slobby. Does that make any more sense than the fact that some people in the world eat dogs while other people in the world find the idea of eating pigs to be disgusting? Why is an animal a pet in one culture and stroganoff in another? Joy offers a change from the superior vegetarian attitude that often treats being a vegetarian as a holier- than-thou existence. The normal vegetarian harangue is that we meat eaters are morally inferior. Ordinarily, we tend to reciprocate in kind - partly because we have tasted tofu and feel genuinely sorry for anyone who subsists on a food with the texture of coagulated snot.
