Axinn Center 229

The Council on Reviews (Promotions Committee and Reappointments Committee) will hold their annual open meeting as required by faculty rules. Faculty members with questions or concerns may attend and ask questions of the members of the committees.

Dr. Hila Amit Abas, founder of the International Hebrew School in Berlin, published A Queer Way Out – The Politics of Israel Emigration (SUNY Press, 2018) in 2018. In her book, Dr. Amit looks at the motivations for departure, and examines carefully the feeling of unbelonging to the national collective in Israel. Sexual Orientation is revealed in this study as playing a significant role in a decision to emigrate. The book questions national and heterosexual norms such as serving in the army, monogamous relationship and reproduction, as connected to the decision to emigrate.

Jordanians mount hundreds of protests every year, most of which are small and non-contentious. In most instances, protesters adhere to regime “redlines” about where they can protest and what claims they make. What political roles to non-contentious protests play, for the regime as well as for protesters? Drawing on extensive field research in Jordan, this talk will explore routine protests and their implication for the future of political expression in Jordan.

Is “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional? Can the Ten Commandments be posted on public property? Did the Founding Fathers intend to separate church from state or religion from politics? Professor Muñoz will address these questions by exploring the church-state principles of James Madison, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and by explaining how the Founding Fathers might help us resolve contemporary church-state controversies.
