Professor Jordan Bell The Fungibility of the Black Body in Media and Education FEBRUARY 19 | 11 A.M. – NOON Saidiyah Hartman has spoken of the afterlife of slavery. It is in this afterlife that fungibility framed Blacks as a commodity of exchange for whites. While this exchange has historical antecedents that date back to the antebellum era, the forms of exchange have changed over time. Today, Black fungibility manifests in media and education spaces in the ways that exploit. While the case of contemporary fungibility will be made clear, the question is, how can we collectively disrupt and abolish the 21st century legacy of Black fungibility. JORDAN BELL is a professor of English at Dutchess Community College.

The Student Solidarity Lunch presentation seeks to explore strategies that move millennials beyond the use of online social media to engage in social causes to in-person (face-to-face) social activism to create more diverse, equitable and inclusive on-campus communities. Specifi cally, we will investigate strategies that seek to direct and swell millennial activists as opposed to rejecting and quelling their activism.

  • The Great Math Mystery Mario Livio (1950 - ) Astrophysicist and Writer Astrofísico Y Escritor Astrophysicien Et Écrivain Space Telescope Science Institute
    “How is it possible that mathematics, a product of human thought that is independent of experience, fits so excellently the objects of physical reality?” “¿Cómo es posible que la matemática, un producto del pensamiento humano independiente de la experiencia, se adapte tan admirablemente a los objetos de la realidad?”1 Albert Einstein (1879-1955) “Intelligent people would never say, ‘I don’t care about art, or music. But it is totally okay to say, ‘I hate math.’” The Great Math Mystery Mario Livio (1950 - ) Astrophysicist and writer Astrofísico y escritor Astrophysicien et écrivain Space Telescope Science Institute LIVIO, Mario, “The Great Math Mystery”.

The Great Math Mystery Documentary New 2015 HD http://docuwiki.net/index.php?title=T... The Great Math Mystery Documentary New 2015 HD NOVA leads viewers on a mathematical mystery tour –a provocative exploration of math’s astonishing power across the centuries. We discover math’s signature in the swirl of a nautilus shell, the whirlpool of a galaxy, and the spiral in the center of a sunflower. Math was essential to everything from the first wireless radio transmissions to the successful landing of rovers on Mars. But where does math get its power? Astrophysicist and writer Mario Livio, along with a colorful cast of mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, follow math from Pythagoras to Einstein and beyond, all leading to the ultimate riddle: Is math an invention or a discovery? Humankind’s clever trick or the language of the universe? Whether we think we’re good with numbers or not, we all use math in our daily lives.
