  • "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy": Feb. 27-June 14

    The Binghamton University Art Museum presents "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy," organized by The New York Historical, on view from Feb. 27-June 14, 2025.

    The exhibition explores public monuments and their representations as points of debate over national identity, politics and race. Monuments offer a historical foundation for understanding recent controversies, featuring fragments of a torn-down statue of King George III, a replica of a bulldozed monument by Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage and a maquette of New York City’s first public monument to a Black woman (Harriet Tubman), among other objects. The exhibition reveals how monument-making and monument-breaking have long shaped American life as public statues have been celebrated, attacked, protested, altered and removed.

    "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy" is curated by Wendy N'lani E. Ikemoto, vice president and chief curator at The New York Historical. The exhibition is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support is provided at Binghamton University by the Office of the Provost, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Harpur College Dean’s Office, the Binghamton Fund for Excellence, the Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls and Rebecca Moshief and Harris Tilevitz ’78.

    Also opening in the Mezzanine Gallery is "Existential Color: Photography from the Permanent Collection," organized by John Tagg, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Art History, and Luisa Casella, photograph conservator and Fellow of the American Institute for Conservation. In 1976, John Szarkowski, director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, hailed the arrival of a “new generation of color photographers” who saw color as “existential,” “as though the world itself existed in color.” This “new generation” included William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Meyerowitz, whose work here prompts a wider re-examination of color in Binghamton University Art Museum’s photographs collection. Within this exhibition, which features works made between the mid-1970s and the early 2000s, a display of historical processes dating back to the mid-nineteenth century shows that color was an integral part of photographic expression from its very beginnings. What viewers are asked is whether Szarkowski’s notion of a decisive break holds up or whether the question of color and photography has to be seen from a much longer and broader historical perspective.

    In the Museum’s Lower Galleries, three small exhibitions will also open: "Chiura Obata: Japanese Art in America," curated by Yao Shen He ’27; "History and Myth: Violence in Early Modern Prints," curated by Leah Dascoli ’26; and "Japanese Design and the Arts and Crafts Movement in New York," curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.

    For details on upcoming programming, see the Art Museum's “Events” page at the link below and on social media. All events are free and open to the public.

  • SUNY University faculty senators and alternates — submit nominations by March 25

    The SUNY system grants senate seats to member institutions to participate in system-wide governance. Binghamton University now has four UFS senate seats; three for faculty and one for a professional staff member.

    There is currently an open call for nominations to the SUNY University Faculty Senate, which is seeking a minimum of three faculty nominations to fill one University Faculty Senate seat (term 2025-28) and two alternate positions.

    The members of the University Faculty Senate represent Binghamton University at the SUNY plenary meetings (Fall in-person, Winter remove, Spring in-person). If a senator cannot attend a plenary meeting, an alternate may attend in their place. Information about the SUNY faculty senate can be found at: https://system.suny.edu/facultysenate/

    In addition, the University Faculty Senators are members of the Binghamton University Faculty Senate Executive Committee and Faculty Senate. University faculty senators also serve as campus governance leaders (CGLs) and attend monthly meetings
    with our senior administrators.

    Note that the regular meeting time of the Executive Committee and Faculty Senate is Tuesdays at 11:45 a.m., fall and spring semesters. The person being nominated should have general availability at that time.

    A nominating petition must be signed by a minimum of five constituents (voting faculty). A nominating petition is a document saying “We nominate [name] to be on the ballot for the University Faculty Senate," and is signed by five constituents via either signature, electronic signature or confirming email.

  • Campus mourns Ellyn Uram Kaschak, Founder of Kaschak Institute for Social Justice

    Ellyn Uram Kaschak, class of ’65 and founder of the Ellyn Uram Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls, passed away peacefully on Feb. 20. She was 81 years old.

    Kaschak was an internationally renowned psychologist, author and educator who co-founded feminist psychology, which she practiced for about 40 years. She was a professor emerita of psychology at San Jose State University, where she taught from 1974 to 2009. She was also a visiting professor at the University for Peace in Costa Rica.

    In 2018, she established the Kaschak Institute at Binghamton University to further her fight for women's equality. The institute supports research in various fields, both new and ongoing, that aligns with her activist vision of making a direct, positive impact on the lives of women and girls.

    Her legacy at Binghamton also includes the creation of the Dr. Ellyn Uram Kaschak Summer Research Grant to benefit Harpur College undergraduate students and their research in the field of social justice for women and girls. In addition, her generous support of Binghamton spanned many other areas to advance an exceptional education and University excellence.

    She was the author or editor of 14 books, including "Engendered Lives: A New Psychology of Women's Experience" (1992) and "Sight Unseen: Gender and Race through Blind Eyes" (2015). For 20 years, she edited the quarterly "Journal of Women & Therapy."

    Over the years, Kaschak received many awards and accolades honoring her prolific work, leadership and fundamental contributions to her field, including the University Medal from Binghamton in 2022.

    She graduated from Binghamton with a bachelor’s degree in Russian in 1965 and a master’s degree from George Washington University in 1968. She worked as a school psychologist before becoming one of the first cohorts of women to earn a doctorate from Ohio State University in 1974.

Speakers and Lectures

  • Visiting Film/Video Speakers Series Spring 2025: March 17

    The Cinema Department’s Speaker Series presents Maggie Hennefeld, "Laughter Against the Grain: Archives of Feminist Film Comedy" at 6 p.m. Monday, March 17, in LH 6. This event is generously co-sponsored by the Departments of English, Comparative Literature, Art History and the Material and Visual Worlds TAE. Admission is free and open to the public.

    The wager of this event is that the future of Medusan resistance against the rampant dismantling of democratic bulwarks will ignite from the archives of feminist film comedy! This talk and screening will reveal the uproarious history of feminist film comedies that have been long unseen, poorly preserved and even unrealized. Relevant examples run the gamut from early silent-era trick shorts and slapstick larks to post-war existential absurdism, cannibalistic satire, rabble-rousing mockumentary and archival fabulation. In particular, Hennefeld focuses on comedic experiments that push laughter against grain — beyond genre conventions, ideological orthodoxy or even the expectation of humor. When can laughter set us free? Jokes give voice to wild taboos but are easily hemmed in by narrative clichés. This talk will look askance at the canon and will instead mine the archive for hilarious, avant-garde, unruly and political instances of world-breaking feminist laughter that provoke us to imagine otherwise.

    Maggie Hennefeld is a professor of cultural studies and comparative literature at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. She is author of "Death by Laughter: Female Hysteria and Early Cinema" (Columbia UP, 2024) and "Specters of Slapstick and Silent Film Comediennes" (Columbia UP, 2018), an editor of the journal "Cultural Critique" (UMN Press), and co-curator of "Cinema’s First Nasty Women" (Kino Lorber, 2022), a DVD/Blu-ray set that spotlights 99 feminist silent films.
