During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

As is typical, we as readers don't know who committed the murder(s), but in addition:

We don't know who has been murdered, or how many murders have occurred.

The 100 pages in the novel are printed out of sequence

Much of the useful information in the novel is obscured behind "cryptic crossword" style clues and phrases that are embedded in the text.

We need to solve the "crossword" clues, sequence the pages, and then read the book to discover the murderer(s) and confirm the identity of their victim(s).

If this sounds like something you'd like to tackle as a group this Fall, please sign up. Library Reading Group - Cain's Jawbone

There's a copy of the book in the library, and (I think) a few copies are available in the bookstore. You definitely don't need to own your own copy to join in.

We'll meet from 4-6 p.m. Wednesdays in the Cohen Study Room at the Library, starting Wednesday September 2. We can talk about how best to tackle the project at that meeting. If you have thoughts about strategies, please bring them along!

Hope to see you there

We hold a reading group every Wednesday where we read and discuss the canonical authors of the historical left such as Marx, Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky, Lukacs, and the members of the Frankfurt School. We also hold more informal coffee breaks on Tuesdays at noon in the Coffee Shop where we discuss contemporary politics, the history of left politics, and any other topics that interest us.

We are starting with the Confucianism, and over time we hope to branch out into other traditions: Daoism, Buddhism, Legalism, and beyond. As every great mind we read in our curriculum, philosophers on the other side of the world ask strikingly similar questions in strikingly different voices. So, if you are curious about the “other part” of the Great Conversation, come sit with us on Wednesday afternoons.

All are welcome! No prior knowledge or language is required.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

The Islamic Philosophy Reading Group offers an opportunity to examine the colorful spectrum of meaning in the Qur’an: in our first discussion this year, we will compare how select passages are rendered in multiple translations, and try to discern the extent to which a translator’s approach to the text is reflected in the translation.

Our discussions will complement the efforts of the Arabic Language Study group.

Henry David Thoreau and Asian Philosophy” - Krishnan Venkatesh at Santa Fe Campus, Great Hall“To some extent, and at rare intervals, even I am a yogin.”

Any reader of Thoreau will have been struck by the quotations and allusions to Chinese and Indian thinkers on almost every page of his major works. He had read more Asian than Western philosophy, and even wrote essays on Confucius and Buddhism, as well as a translation (from French) of part of the Mahabharata. His reading in the Eastern Classics was extensive and formidable. He was not alone in this: Emerson, Bronson Alcott, Whitman, and other Transcendentalist writers were also fired up by Asian thought. They were preceded by Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams. In this lecture I will be exploring Thoreau's reading of Asian philosophy: What exactly did he study, how deeply did he understand these books, did they influence him, can he be considered an American version of an Asian philosopher? I will also explore Thoreau's profound affinity with a body of work he could not possibly have known: the poet-recluses of China and Japan, the Japanese poetic diarists, and his peripatetic brother Matsuo Basho. What is the significance of all this?

It will become evident in this lecture that the presence of an Eastern Classics program in Santa Fe reflects an interest that is as American as....the Founding Fathers and the Transcendentalists.

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

We will begin with the alphabet and then use the Al-Kitaab textbook series to understand the basic grammar of Arabic. The group will function more like a tutoring session than a formal class, and we can devote time to whatever specific aspects of literature/politics/philosophy/history/poetry speak to the members of our group.

In addition to studying the Arabic language, this group's discussions will complement the Islamic philosophy reading group's project this semester of reading the Qur'an.

I am not an expert in Arabic, and hope to create a low-stakes environment of mutual learning and exploration. I would also be glad to talk about college and post-grad State Department funding/fellowships for studying language, as someone who participated in one of their scholarships.

Please stop by if you are interested. We will meet from 4-5 p.m. on Sundays in the Cohen Study Room in the library.

S. Lewis's The Great Divorce Reading Group at Annapolis Campus, Barr-Buchanan CenterI would like to start a reading group for The Great Divorce by the notable Inkling, C. S. Lewis. Thankfully, The C. S. Lewis Institute has been kind enough to agree to send us some copies for this group. Before they do though, I want to get a good estimate of how many copies we will need which is why I have attached a survey to gauge interest. I invite all members of the polity and hope to see you there!

We will meet weekly on Wednesdays in Levan Hall 302 from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. You can bring your lunch.

We will use this text: The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition edited by R. W. Franklin, available in our bookstore and library. We will proceed chronologically through Emily's poems in order to note how her style and subjects develop over time; in each meeting we will focus our discussion on no more than three or four poems.

As is typical, we as readers don't know who committed the murder(s), but in addition:

We don't know who has been murdered, or how many murders have occurred.

The 100 pages in the novel are printed out of sequence

Much of the useful information in the novel is obscured behind "cryptic crossword" style clues and phrases that are embedded in the text.

We need to solve the "crossword" clues, sequence the pages, and then read the book to discover the murderer(s) and confirm the identity of their victim(s).

If this sounds like something you'd like to tackle as a group this Fall, please sign up. Library Reading Group - Cain's Jawbone

There's a copy of the book in the library, and (I think) a few copies are available in the bookstore. You definitely don't need to own your own copy to join in.

We'll meet from 4-6 p.m. Wednesdays in the Cohen Study Room at the Library, starting Wednesday September 2. We can talk about how best to tackle the project at that meeting. If you have thoughts about strategies, please bring them along!

Hope to see you there

We hold a reading group every Wednesday where we read and discuss the canonical authors of the historical left such as Marx, Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky, Lukacs, and the members of the Frankfurt School. We also hold more informal coffee breaks on Tuesdays at noon in the Coffee Shop where we discuss contemporary politics, the history of left politics, and any other topics that interest us.

We are starting with the Confucianism, and over time we hope to branch out into other traditions: Daoism, Buddhism, Legalism, and beyond. As every great mind we read in our curriculum, philosophers on the other side of the world ask strikingly similar questions in strikingly different voices. So, if you are curious about the “other part” of the Great Conversation, come sit with us on Wednesday afternoons.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

The Islamic Philosophy Reading Group offers an opportunity to examine the colorful spectrum of meaning in the Qur’an: in our first discussion this year, we will compare how select passages are rendered in multiple translations, and try to discern the extent to which a translator’s approach to the text is reflected in the translation.

Our discussions will complement the efforts of the Arabic Language Study group.

Performances of classical compositions are commonly described as interpretations. This talk asks how the description might be true in a non-trivial sense. It will explore the idea that the performance of a musical score can propose and reveal meanings comparable to those found in the interpretation of literature and visual art. Examples include performances of music by Beethoven, Robert Schumann, and, if there is time, Debussy.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

We will be hosting a dance on Saturday, October 17 for Johnnie Family Weekend, from 8-11 p.m. in the Great Hall.

There will also be an informal dance on Saturday, October 10 during Long Weekend for people looking for something fun to do, and to learn more about the style of dance.

What is it? Contra dancing is a type of called and partnered folk dance, a lot like square or line dancing. It's very beginner friendly, there's no required footwork, and all moves are taught in real time by the caller who guides the dance. So, if you're nervous about social dancing, this is a great way to put a toe in the water. Both dances will be called by our very own Ned Gaudry, with music provided by our house band led by Jamie Graff. Refreshments will be provided during the Family Weekend dance.

If you like high energy, approachable, and enjoyable dancing and music then this is the event for you!

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

We will begin with the alphabet and then use the Al-Kitaab textbook series to understand the basic grammar of Arabic. The group will function more like a tutoring session than a formal class, and we can devote time to whatever specific aspects of literature/politics/philosophy/history/poetry speak to the members of our group.

In addition to studying the Arabic language, this group's discussions will complement the Islamic philosophy reading group's project this semester of reading the Qur'an.

I am not an expert in Arabic, and hope to create a low-stakes environment of mutual learning and exploration. I would also be glad to talk about college and post-grad State Department funding/fellowships for studying language, as someone who participated in one of their scholarships.

Please stop by if you are interested. We will meet from 4-5 p.m. on Sundays in the Cohen Study Room in the library.

Before they do though, I want to get a good estimate of how many copies we will need which is why I have attached a survey to gauge interest.

Paddles and balls provided (or bring your own). During colder weather, we play on the SAC basketball court. This offering is for current SJC students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

We will meet weekly on Wednesdays in Levan Hall 302 from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. You can bring your lunch.

We will use this text: The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition edited by R. W. Franklin, available in our bookstore and library. We will proceed chronologically through Emily's poems in order to note how her style and subjects develop over time; in each meeting we will focus our discussion on no more than three or four poems.

If you'd like to be added to our email group and receieve each week's assigned reading, email Ken Baumann (Kenneth.Baumann@sjc.edu).

As is typical, we as readers don't know who committed the murder(s), but in addition:

We don't know who has been murdered, or how many murders have occurred.

The 100 pages in the novel are printed out of sequence

Much of the useful information in the novel is obscured behind "cryptic crossword" style clues and phrases that are embedded in the text.

We need to solve the "crossword" clues, sequence the pages, and then read the book to discover the murderer(s) and confirm the identity of their victim(s).

If this sounds like something you'd like to tackle as a group this Fall, please sign up. Library Reading Group - Cain's Jawbone

There's a copy of the book in the library, and (I think) a few copies are available in the bookstore. You definitely don't need to own your own copy to join in.

We'll meet from 4-6 p.m. Wednesdays in the Cohen Study Room at the Library, starting Wednesday September 2. We can talk about how best to tackle the project at that meeting. If you have thoughts about strategies, please bring them along!

Hope to see you there

We hold a reading group every Wednesday where we read and discuss the canonical authors of the historical left such as Marx, Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky, Lukacs, and the members of the Frankfurt School. We also hold more informal coffee breaks on Tuesdays at noon in the Coffee Shop where we discuss contemporary politics, the history of left politics, and any other topics that interest us.

We are starting with the Confucianism, and over time we hope to branch out into other traditions: Daoism, Buddhism, Legalism, and beyond. As every great mind we read in our curriculum, philosophers on the other side of the world ask strikingly similar questions in strikingly different voices. So, if you are curious about the “other part” of the Great Conversation, come sit with us on Wednesday afternoons.

All are welcome! No prior knowledge or language is required.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

The Islamic Philosophy Reading Group offers an opportunity to examine the colorful spectrum of meaning in the Qur’an: in our first discussion this year, we will compare how select passages are rendered in multiple translations, and try to discern the extent to which a translator’s approach to the text is reflected in the translation.

Our discussions will complement the efforts of the Arabic Language Study group.

Spinoza and Pascal were contemporaries who both wrote in the wake of the Cartesian revolution in philosophy and science. Yet it is difficult to imagine two works more different in presentation than Spinoza’s Ethics and Pascal’s Pensées: the former a tightly-woven web of definitions, theses, and propositions, and the latter a seemingly random pile of musings. These differences in style are not, however, merely stylistic; they reveal profoundly different ways of thinking and, ultimately, radically different metaphysical and theological visions.

People marvel at its tonal qualities, often commenting that it is a sound closest to the human voice. From the time of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), the cello has occupied a singular place in the hearts and minds of both composers and audiences, captivating millions through its rich and soulful timbre and earthy, warm colors.

Using portions of the seminal Bach Solo Suites for cello, written between 1717 to 1723, as well as more contemporary examples of solo cello music, join virtuoso cellist and esteemed writer and radio host Daniel Lelchuk as he takes us on a tour into the world of solo cello– its history, its repertoire, and most of all, its emotional impact.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

"Oh, the algorithm recommended it to me," I answered. "The algorithm"? That sounds like the name of a mysterious agent, and that is how much contemporary talk treats it. But what is an algorithm? The 9th-century Persian mathematician al-Khwarizmi — from whose Latinized name the word algorithm derives — may help us with this question, for he was one of — if not the — first to formalize the idea of a set of instructions to solve a type of problem. So perhaps looking at his account of these instructions, his "algorithms," we might come to better understand our own unthinking responses like the one reported above. No sophisticated mathematical ability is required to learn deeply with and from the essay.

Teachers joining us for our online seminar will discuss the text in a small, interactive class led by St. John’s faculty. The seminar will be followed by a discussion about ways in which what has been learned and discussed might be integrated into your own classrooms.

We will begin with the alphabet and then use the Al-Kitaab textbook series to understand the basic grammar of Arabic. The group will function more like a tutoring session than a formal class, and we can devote time to whatever specific aspects of literature/politics/philosophy/history/poetry speak to the members of our group.

In addition to studying the Arabic language, this group's discussions will complement the Islamic philosophy reading group's project this semester of reading the Qur'an.

I am not an expert in Arabic, and hope to create a low-stakes environment of mutual learning and exploration. I would also be glad to talk about college and post-grad State Department funding/fellowships for studying language, as someone who participated in one of their scholarships.

Please stop by if you are interested. We will meet from 4-5 p.m. on Sundays in the Cohen Study Room in the library.

Before they do though, I want to get a good estimate of how many copies we will need which is why I have attached a survey to gauge interest.

Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets.

We will meet weekly on Wednesdays in Levan Hall 302 from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. You can bring your lunch.

We will use this text: The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition edited by R. W. Franklin, available in our bookstore and library. We will proceed chronologically through Emily's poems in order to note how her style and subjects develop over time; in each meeting we will focus our discussion on no more than three or four poems.

If you'd like to be added to our email group and receieve each week's assigned reading, email Ken Baumann (Kenneth.Baumann@sjc.edu).

As is typical, we as readers don't know who committed the murder(s), but in addition:

We don't know who has been murdered, or how many murders have occurred.

The 100 pages in the novel are printed out of sequence

Much of the useful information in the novel is obscured behind "cryptic crossword" style clues and phrases that are embedded in the text.

We need to solve the "crossword" clues, sequence the pages, and then read the book to discover the murderer(s) and confirm the identity of their victim(s).

If this sounds like something you'd like to tackle as a group this Fall, please sign up. Library Reading Group - Cain's Jawbone

There's a copy of the book in the library, and (I think) a few copies are available in the bookstore. You definitely don't need to own your own copy to join in.

We'll meet from 4-6 p.m. Wednesdays in the Cohen Study Room at the Library, starting Wednesday September 2. We can talk about how best to tackle the project at that meeting. If you have thoughts about strategies, please bring them along!

Hope to see you there

We hold a reading group every Wednesday where we read and discuss the canonical authors of the historical left such as Marx, Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky, Lukacs, and the members of the Frankfurt School. We also hold more informal coffee breaks on Tuesdays at noon in the Coffee Shop where we discuss contemporary politics, the history of left politics, and any other topics that interest us.

We are starting with the Confucianism, and over time we hope to branch out into other traditions: Daoism, Buddhism, Legalism, and beyond. As every great mind we read in our curriculum, philosophers on the other side of the world ask strikingly similar questions in strikingly different voices. So, if you are curious about the “other part” of the Great Conversation, come sit with us on Wednesday afternoons.

All are welcome! No prior knowledge or language is required.

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

We will use this text: The Feynman Lectures on Physics: The New Millennium Edition. This text is freely available online and in hardcover form from Basic Books. We will proceed chronologically and move at a brisk pace.

The Islamic Philosophy Reading Group offers an opportunity to examine the colorful spectrum of meaning in the Qur’an: in our first discussion this year, we will compare how select passages are rendered in multiple translations, and try to discern the extent to which a translator’s approach to the text is reflected in the translation.

Our discussions will complement the efforts of the Arabic Language Study group.

For further details, please email khkurwa@sjc.edu.

Typically, authors express admiration in order to promote what they admire, and this is true of Kierkegaard too. But perhaps what he seeks most as a writer is to communicate admiration itself, because he regards it as essential in one way or another to all of the best things in life. This lecture explicates Kierkegaard’s theory and practice of admiration.

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

We will begin with the alphabet and then use the Al-Kitaab textbook series to understand the basic grammar of Arabic. The group will function more like a tutoring session than a formal class, and we can devote time to whatever specific aspects of literature/politics/philosophy/history/poetry speak to the members of our group.

In addition to studying the Arabic language, this group's discussions will complement the Islamic philosophy reading group's project this semester of reading the Qur'an.

I am not an expert in Arabic, and hope to create a low-stakes environment of mutual learning and exploration. I would also be glad to talk about college and post-grad State Department funding/fellowships for studying language, as someone who participated in one of their scholarships.

Please stop by if you are interested. We will meet from 4-5 p.m. on Sundays in the Cohen Study Room in the library.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets.

Paul O’Mahony will present information about the British American Drama Academy’s Greek Theatre Programme, one of four summer courses offered by BADA. The Greek Theatre Programme is a truly unique opportunity to study and perform Greek tragedy and related works with leading theatre practitioners and academics in the UK and Greece. We partner with theatres such as the National Theatre of Great Britain and the National Theatre of Greece, and with Oxford University’s Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama and Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies. You will visit the ancient sites of Delphi and Mycenae, the ancient theatre of Epidauros and Argos to appreciate their scale, design and acoustics. In Athens you’ll visit locations which were critical to its fledgling democracy and which helped shape theatre’s emergence as a radical art form. Every step of the way you’ll receive expert guidance and daily classes immersing you physically, vocally and psychologically in these incredible plays. More info here: https://www.bada.org.uk/programmes/greek-theatre-programme/

Ancient tragedy, modern communities
BADA also offers Midsummer in Oxford, the Black British Theatre and Performance Programme and the Spanish Theatre Programme. Paul will be on hand to share information about all of these amazing courses

If you'd like to be added to our email group and receieve each week's assigned reading, email Ken Baumann (Kenneth.Baumann@sjc.edu).

As is typical, we as readers don't know who committed the murder(s), but in addition:

We don't know who has been murdered, or how many murders have occurred.

The 100 pages in the novel are printed out of sequence

Much of the useful information in the novel is obscured behind "cryptic crossword" style clues and phrases that are embedded in the text.

We need to solve the "crossword" clues, sequence the pages, and then read the book to discover the murderer(s) and confirm the identity of their victim(s).

If this sounds like something you'd like to tackle as a group this Fall, please sign up. Library Reading Group - Cain's Jawbone

There's a copy of the book in the library, and (I think) a few copies are available in the bookstore. You definitely don't need to own your own copy to join in.

We'll meet from 4-6 p.m. Wednesdays in the Cohen Study Room at the Library, starting Wednesday September 2. We can talk about how best to tackle the project at that meeting. If you have thoughts about strategies, please bring them along!

Hope to see you there

We hold a reading group every Wednesday where we read and discuss the canonical authors of the historical left such as Marx, Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky, Lukacs, and the members of the Frankfurt School. We also hold more informal coffee breaks on Tuesdays at noon in the Coffee Shop where we discuss contemporary politics, the history of left politics, and any other topics that interest us.

We are starting with the Confucianism, and over time we hope to branch out into other traditions: Daoism, Buddhism, Legalism, and beyond. As every great mind we read in our curriculum, philosophers on the other side of the world ask strikingly similar questions in strikingly different voices. So, if you are curious about the “other part” of the Great Conversation, come sit with us on Wednesday afternoons.

All are welcome! No prior knowledge or language is required.

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

Presented in collaboration with Annapolis Pride, Historic Annapolis, and the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs. Major funding for this project was provided by Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

The Islamic Philosophy Reading Group offers an opportunity to examine the colorful spectrum of meaning in the Qur’an: in our first discussion this year, we will compare how select passages are rendered in multiple translations, and try to discern the extent to which a translator’s approach to the text is reflected in the translation.

Our discussions will complement the efforts of the Arabic Language Study group.

Yet modernity, if it is an historical notion, seems in tension with St. John’s own ethos, its laudable distance from history and its refusal to historicize intellectual work and texts. Modernity’s character, then, invites questioning: is it finally or wholly a historical conception; is the transformation of viewpoint modernity indicates genuinely corrigible? This talk examines two related accounts of scientific modernity’s advent—those of Jacob Klein and Alexander Koyré—both powerful framings of modernity, to try to better work out modernity’s status and conception.

Joshua Kates is a visiting professor at the University of Chicago and is Professor emeritus at Indiana University. He is a graduate of St. John’s College, Annapolis and was a tutor on the Santa Fe campus from 1991-2005. He has written extensively on Jacques Derrida’s early works and their relation to phenomenology, as well as on the philosophy of history and the philosophy of language. He is currently working on a book on modernity.

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

Presented in collaboration with Annapolis Pride, Historic Annapolis, and the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs. Major funding for this project was provided by Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

The theme of this trip is "Voices of Nature".

We will be discussing such questions as: "Does the natural world help us identify those values that are most important about humanity? Does it help us be better people? To find our voices and speak (through art or otherwise)? How loud do we need to be to be heard?"

Our hope is that, after dealing with these questions and engaging with the grounds & artwork at Glenstone, our experience of /m's current exhibition, Miguel Braceli: Unburial, will be deepened.

Tickets are free and lunch will be provided at the Museum café.

However, space is limited to 20 people – to sign up, send an email to mitchellartmuseum@sjc.edu. We will all drive up together on the day of the trip. We will meet in the FSK Lobby at 8am that day, depart by bus at 8:30 a.m., arrive to Glenstone at 10 a.m., have lunch around noon, and stay at the museum until 4 p.m. We will then get back to Annapolis by 5:30 p.m.

About the Destination: Glenstone is a world-renowned private museum and outdoor sculpture park in Potomac Maryland, about 45 miles from Annapolis.

We look forward to sharing this incredible experience with you!

All polity members are invited to RSVP.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

We will begin with the alphabet and then use the Al-Kitaab textbook series to understand the basic grammar of Arabic. The group will function more like a tutoring session than a formal class, and we can devote time to whatever specific aspects of literature/politics/philosophy/history/poetry speak to the members of our group.

In addition to studying the Arabic language, this group's discussions will complement the Islamic philosophy reading group's project this semester of reading the Qur'an.

I am not an expert in Arabic, and hope to create a low-stakes environment of mutual learning and exploration. I would also be glad to talk about college and post-grad State Department funding/fellowships for studying language, as someone who participated in one of their scholarships.

Please stop by if you are interested. We will meet from 4-5 p.m. on Sundays in the Cohen Study Room in the library.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

Each class will begin with a sutra (a short verse) and move into a hatha-vinyasa flow, ending with shavasana and meditation. All levels of experience with yoga are welcome.

Ms. Spearman sees yoga not only as exercise but also as a philosophic and spiritual practice. She completed her yoga teacher training this past summer and is passionate about grounding her teaching in the philosophic and spiritual tradition of yoga while making it accessible to people from all belief-systems.

As is typical, we as readers don't know who committed the murder(s), but in addition:

We don't know who has been murdered, or how many murders have occurred.

The 100 pages in the novel are printed out of sequence

Much of the useful information in the novel is obscured behind "cryptic crossword" style clues and phrases that are embedded in the text.

We need to solve the "crossword" clues, sequence the pages, and then read the book to discover the murderer(s) and confirm the identity of their victim(s).

If this sounds like something you'd like to tackle as a group this Fall, please sign up. Library Reading Group - Cain's Jawbone

There's a copy of the book in the library, and (I think) a few copies are available in the bookstore. You definitely don't need to own your own copy to join in.

We'll meet from 4-6 p.m. Wednesdays in the Cohen Study Room at the Library, starting Wednesday September 2. We can talk about how best to tackle the project at that meeting. If you have thoughts about strategies, please bring them along!

Hope to see you there

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

The Islamic Philosophy Reading Group offers an opportunity to examine the colorful spectrum of meaning in the Qur’an: in our first discussion this year, we will compare how select passages are rendered in multiple translations, and try to discern the extent to which a translator’s approach to the text is reflected in the translation.

Our discussions will complement the efforts of the Arabic Language Study group.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

About Poets in the Conversation Room

Now in its third season, Poets in the Conversation Room is presented by Annapolis Home Magazine in partnership with St. John's College. The series is hosted by renowned poet, author, playwright, and Maryland's Tenth Poet Laureate, Grace Cavalieri, and features conversations with some of today's most distinguished poets.

"Annapolis needs poetry," says Kymberly Taylor, poet and Editor-in-Chief of Annapolis Home Magazine. "It needs this incredible art form that helps us feel things beyond what we hear and read online, on television, and in the news."

"I think it's going to create a tremendous audience because it's also entertaining," says Grace Cavalieri. "Poetry speaks to how we feel and what it means to be alive in this world. Who does not want to hear that?"

What is the status of ideas like "responsibility" in a world automated and routinized by devices of every kind. Do we have an obligation to understand the workings of those devices? If not, can we still think of ourselves as free agents, even if we are dependent on, parasitic upon, a world that remains mysterious to us? This essay points to other moments of great technological change and tries to assess the shape of ethical life inaugurated by those changes. And though written some years before the great changes currently upon us, the essay should help us think about how we might respond to our challenge of the current moment.

Teachers joining us for our online seminar will discuss the text in a small, interactive class led by St. John’s faculty. The seminar will be followed by a discussion about ways in which what has been learned and discussed might be integrated into your own classrooms.

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

Presented in collaboration with Annapolis Pride, Historic Annapolis, and the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs. Major funding for this project was provided by Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

We will begin with the alphabet and then use the Al-Kitaab textbook series to understand the basic grammar of Arabic. The group will function more like a tutoring session than a formal class, and we can devote time to whatever specific aspects of literature/politics/philosophy/history/poetry speak to the members of our group.

In addition to studying the Arabic language, this group's discussions will complement the Islamic philosophy reading group's project this semester of reading the Qur'an.

I am not an expert in Arabic, and hope to create a low-stakes environment of mutual learning and exploration. I would also be glad to talk about college and post-grad State Department funding/fellowships for studying language, as someone who participated in one of their scholarships.

Please stop by if you are interested. We will meet from 4-5 p.m. on Sundays in the Cohen Study Room in the library.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

We will use this text: The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition edited by R. W. Franklin, available in our bookstore and library.

As is typical, we as readers don't know who committed the murder(s), but in addition:

We don't know who has been murdered, or how many murders have occurred.

The 100 pages in the novel are printed out of sequence

Much of the useful information in the novel is obscured behind "cryptic crossword" style clues and phrases that are embedded in the text.

We need to solve the "crossword" clues, sequence the pages, and then read the book to discover the murderer(s) and confirm the identity of their victim(s).

If this sounds like something you'd like to tackle as a group this Fall, please sign up. Library Reading Group - Cain's Jawbone

There's a copy of the book in the library, and (I think) a few copies are available in the bookstore. You definitely don't need to own your own copy to join in.

We'll meet from 4-6 p.m. Wednesdays in the Cohen Study Room at the Library, starting Wednesday September 2. We can talk about how best to tackle the project at that meeting. If you have thoughts about strategies, please bring them along!

Hope to see you there

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

Presented in collaboration with Annapolis Pride, Historic Annapolis, and the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs. Major funding for this project was provided by Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

The Islamic Philosophy Reading Group offers an opportunity to examine the colorful spectrum of meaning in the Qur’an: in our first discussion this year, we will compare how select passages are rendered in multiple translations, and try to discern the extent to which a translator’s approach to the text is reflected in the translation.

Our discussions will complement the efforts of the Arabic Language Study group.

We will read this essay in relation to the videos on view in our current Videodrome exhibition: Surveilled or Seen: Sinew of Trust in the Video of Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis.

As noted in our description of this show, Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. In this way, we feel that a discussion of Baier's work, one dedicated to Trust as a concept, will uniquely enrich this dimension of their work.

If we can expect you to attend this seminar, please send us a short message to mitchellartmuseum@sjc.edu.

About the Reading

Baier's essay is widely regarded as the foundational text of contemporary philosophical ethics concerning the nature and value of trust. It is about 30 pages long, and can be accessed through Jstor or via the University of Chicago Press Journals. You may also email us to request a copy.

We look forward to welcoming you to this event!

As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

We will begin with the alphabet and then use the Al-Kitaab textbook series to understand the basic grammar of Arabic. The group will function more like a tutoring session than a formal class, and we can devote time to whatever specific aspects of literature/politics/philosophy/history/poetry speak to the members of our group.

In addition to studying the Arabic language, this group's discussions will complement the Islamic philosophy reading group's project this semester of reading the Qur'an.

I am not an expert in Arabic, and hope to create a low-stakes environment of mutual learning and exploration. I would also be glad to talk about college and post-grad State Department funding/fellowships for studying language, as someone who participated in one of their scholarships.

Please stop by if you are interested. We will meet from 4-5 p.m. on Sundays in the Cohen Study Room in the library.

Before they do though, I want to get a good estimate of how many copies we will need which is why I have attached a survey to gauge interest.

We will use this text: The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition edited by R. W. Franklin, available in our bookstore and library.

We hold a reading group every Wednesday where we read and discuss the canonical authors of the historical left such as Marx, Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky, Lukacs, and the members of the Frankfurt School. We also hold more informal coffee breaks on Tuesdays at noon in the Coffee Shop where we discuss contemporary politics, the history of left politics, and any other topics that interest us.

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

Presented in collaboration with Annapolis Pride, Historic Annapolis, and the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs. Major funding for this project was provided by Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

We will meet weekly on Wednesdays in Levan Hall 302 from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. You can bring your lunch.

We will use this text: The Poems of Emily Dickinson: Reading Edition edited by R. W. Franklin, available in our bookstore and library. We will proceed chronologically through Emily's poems in order to note how her style and subjects develop over time; in each meeting we will focus our discussion on no more than three or four poems.

We hold a reading group every Wednesday where we read and discuss the canonical authors of the historical left such as Marx, Lenin, Luxemburg, Trotsky, Lukacs, and the members of the Frankfurt School. We also hold more informal coffee breaks on Tuesdays at noon in the Coffee Shop where we discuss contemporary politics, the history of left politics, and any other topics that interest us.

We are starting with the Confucianism, and over time we hope to branch out into other traditions: Daoism, Buddhism, Legalism, and beyond. As every great mind we read in our curriculum, philosophers on the other side of the world ask strikingly similar questions in strikingly different voices. So, if you are curious about the “other part” of the Great Conversation, come sit with us on Wednesday afternoons.

All are welcome! No prior knowledge or language is required.

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

Presented in collaboration with Annapolis Pride, Historic Annapolis, and the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs. Major funding for this project was provided by Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

The Islamic Philosophy Reading Group offers an opportunity to examine the colorful spectrum of meaning in the Qur’an: in our first discussion this year, we will compare how select passages are rendered in multiple translations, and try to discern the extent to which a translator’s approach to the text is reflected in the translation.

Our discussions will complement the efforts of the Arabic Language Study group.

Unburial treats absence as a site for learning and reflection. The void left by the Liberty Tree becomes more than metaphor: an art intervention transforms it into a place to be repurposed and reclaimed through rituals and celebrations that probe what freedom means today.

Presented in collaboration with Annapolis Pride, Historic Annapolis, and the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs. Major funding for this project was provided by Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area.

The idea of this exhibition is grounded in a question: what is the difference between being looked at versus being witnessed? Between being invasively surveilled versus deeply seen?

Marina Abramović and Lynda Benglis — with Rest Energy (1980) and Lynda Benglis’ Monitor (1999), respectively — explore what it costs us to trust each other and how important it is that we do. As we watch these two videos unfold, we are invited to sit with how much social cynicism deteriorates us, if we allow it to take over and transform our will to trust into one to control. As an antidote to this, each artist seems to posit that we must instead relinquish control if we hope to be loved. Love, then, becomes indistinguishable from the act of choosing not to monitor someone fearfully, but to witness them vulnerably.

It is a terrifying and brave, humbling and life-giving choice. We hope watching these works of art help it become easier to make.

Funding for this project was provided by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt, and the Arts Council for Anne Arundel County.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

We will begin with the alphabet and then use the Al-Kitaab textbook series to understand the basic grammar of Arabic. The group will function more like a tutoring session than a formal class, and we can devote time to whatever specific aspects of literature/politics/philosophy/history/poetry speak to the members of our group.

In addition to studying the Arabic language, this group's discussions will complement the Islamic philosophy reading group's project this semester of reading the Qur'an.

I am not an expert in Arabic, and hope to create a low-stakes environment of mutual learning and exploration. I would also be glad to talk about college and post-grad State Department funding/fellowships for studying language, as someone who participated in one of their scholarships.

Please stop by if you are interested. We will meet from 4-5 p.m. on Sundays in the Cohen Study Room in the library.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

During this period, the Army assigned an officer to the Faculty to be the Military Instructor at SJC. Two notable holders of that position, in the second half of the Military program, were Major William Alexis Thompson who was at SJC from 1899-1907, and Lieutenant Edmund Berkeley Iglehart - for whom the college's gym is named, who was a Student, Alum, Volunteer Football Coach, and from 1907-1910, the college's Commandant of Cadets. Visit the Summer-Fall 2026 Greenfield Library exhibit to find out more about Thompson and Iglehart's experiences at SJC, and about the history of the College before the New Program.

The Islamic Philosophy Reading Group offers an opportunity to examine the colorful spectrum of meaning in the Qur’an: in our first discussion this year, we will compare how select passages are rendered in multiple translations, and try to discern the extent to which a translator’s approach to the text is reflected in the translation.

Our discussions will complement the efforts of the Arabic Language Study group.

Beginning from two-dimensional curvature, it will then go on to discuss space curves and curved surfaces. We will consider the major results of Gauss' General Investigations of Curved Surfaces, in particular the Theorema Egregium, showing that curvature is an intrinsic property of surfaces. At the end we will consider the importance of Gauss' work for non-Euclidean geometry (Lobachevsky) and Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Such talk has a particularly currency in the contemporary moment, as one often hears about the possibility that all human doings — including human thinking — will themselves be captured by, if not weight and measure, then certainly by number. This essay, then, will allow us to see what may well be the origin of claim — fantasy? — that all of human life can be quantified, mathematized. Can this truly be achieved? And, if so, what does it mean about human thinking that it is, ultimately, an operation of number?

Teachers joining us for our online seminar will discuss the text in a small, interactive class led by St. John’s faculty. The seminar will be followed by a discussion about ways in which what has been learned and discussed might be integrated into your own classrooms.

Does his machine look like thought? If not, can it be made to look like thought? And if so, how would one do so? This essay is a touch more mathematical than a typical reading for the Teacher's Institute and we have included a note that will help guide you through it. But studying foundational mathematical material is, we think, urgently required of all liberally-minded persons and educators. In order to achieve a free relationship to the dizzying array of "ones and zeroes" whirling about us, we need to confront them in their elementary form.

Teachers joining us for our online seminar will discuss the text in a small, interactive class led by St. John’s faculty. The seminar will be followed by a discussion about ways in which what has been learned and discussed might be integrated into your own classrooms.

Science fiction may have a claim on that distinctive mode and this classic example of the genre will not only allow us to think about writing in the age of technology and computation but also press upon us difficult philosophical questions about agency and human mindedness.
