Halloween Activity
Faculty Development, in collaboration with the Theater Studies Department, organized a Halloween-themed event for the faculty on the evening of October 30, 2024. The event included three parts:
Part One was the "Chilling Teaching Tales" workshop in Orangerie, which started at 5:45 pm. Faculty colleagues shared stories about unexpected classroom situations, teaching nightmares, haunting grading experiences, zombie-level exhaustion, student specters whose presence lingers long after they've gone, funny misunderstandings, strange emails, weird but "creative" excuses for late work, and so forth. We also gave enough other tips and advice on how to deal with these sticky situations. Religious Studies and Ethics Professor Jill Peterfeso decorated the Orangerie. The Theater Studies Department provided funny hats and costumes. Several student volunteers entertained the small kids.
Part Two was dinner in the Orangerie, with pizzas, Halloween-themed cupcakes, and wicked water.
Part Three was the Fright Night in the Sternberger Theater, organized by Theater Studies faculty Beth Ritson-Lavender and John Wampler's students in THEA 111 and 125. Families enjoyed the walk-through spooky stations that students designed, with many screams, laughter, and candies.

Rachel Riskind read from the first scholarship she ever worked on - as an 11-year-old typist. Drafted in the 1970s-90s and published in October 2024 by an academic press, Neither Fish nor Fowl: A Mercantile Jewish Family on the Rio Grande is the memoir of Morris Riskind, Rachel's grandfather, who was born and lived most of his life in a small Texas border town, Eagle Pass. Eagle Pass rose to national infamy in 2023 as an epicenter of immigration and border disputes. Historian Bryan Edward Stone has published the book as a unique primary source. Its interest lies in how
Riskind's life (b. 1911- d. 1996) diverged from the expected norms of American Jewish history and Texan-Mexican borderland society. It addresses Napoleon's
invasion of Lithuania, a Chicago garment strike, the Mexican Revolution, silent films, Jewish refugees' failed attempts to cross into the U.S. from Mexico during the Holocaust, arts programs in a Japanese internment camp during World War II, the Dallas apparel market, and more. Rachel ended the session with a discussion of how the memoir can inform perspectives on the borderlands today.
Zulfiya Tursunova presented a feminist analysis of the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on women’s precarious livelihoods and lack of multi-dimensional empowerment in Uzbekistan due to a market-driven economy, liberalization, and neoliberalism that is ill-prepared to deal with gender equality and pandemic. Her analysis highlighted “intersectional vulnerability” by examining the gendered nature of unequal distribution of the pandemic risks. These lenses of empowerment help to understand the differential impact of the pandemic on women’s sense of agency and outcomes, given that women, in particular, experience multiple inequities and, hence, heightened precarity in a neoliberal economy.

Faculty Affairs Committee (FAC) Information Session
On Wednesday, January 22, 2025, the Faculty Affairs Committee (co-chaired by Eric Mortensen and Anna Pannell) held a presentation and Q&A on faculty review criteria and process. It also gave tips on how faculty can best prepare the review materials and write supportive letters for colleagues.
