This lecture by Eve D’Ambra, surveys the portraits of imperial women from the Flavians through Hadrian (late-first through mid-second century CE) to consider how their images stood apart or remained indistinct from those of the cohort of Roman women. A rich archaeological record of inscriptions, coins, and statuary is only beginning to be appraised (or re-appraised) by scholars interested in the “soft” power of court women, family dynamics, and women’s traditional roles in religion and patronage of the period.

Good morning, All,
Hope you’ll join us for a presentation by anthropologist Robert Samet from Union College, entitled “The Will to Security: Media, Populism, and the Politics of Crime.” The event will take place at 4:00 pm in the Honors Center, and is sponsored by the Departments of Anthropology and Political Science/International Relations and the Latin American & Caribbean Studies Program. This event will be of special interest to faculty and students interested in Latin America, in populism (both theory and practice) in today’s world, and in the role of media in shaping the contours of public opinion in a crisis moment. See attached flyer for all the details.
Best,
Benjamin Junge, PhD (he, him, his)

I am very excited to announce that Rosa Chávez, a well respected Guatemalan Indigenous poet, will be coming to SUNY New Paltz! Her works discuss various intersecting themes such as indigenous rights, language, femininity, and sexuality. Rosa has been a very special part of my Study Abroad program and each year she has continued to have a profound impact on the students. We are thrilled to have Rosa’s warmth and wisdom in our campus and we hope you and your students are able to come!

A big thank you!! To the Center for International Programs, The College of Liberal Arts & Science and the Dean’s office for their constant support.

Join us!! Luz
