45th Eunice Belgum Lectures "Humanity Matters"
2025-03-10 19:00 - 20:30 | Buntrock Commons, Viking Theater
Students, faculty, staff are all welcome to attend the 45th Eunice Belgum Lectures. This year’s lecturer is Lewis Gordon.
Lewis Gordon’s lecture “Humanity Matters” will summarize why anti-humanism and misanthropy are misguided features of an influential, yet disastrous, thread of modern and contemporary philosophy, which fails to address a pressing problem of the Euromodern Age: dehumanization. Lewis Gordon will offer a global existential response rooted in actual science and critical investigations of what it means to be human and the consequences of ignoring those elements.
Each year for three decades the department has sponsored the Belgum Lectures, which honor the memory of Eunice Belgum, who graduated from St. Olaf College in 1967. The lecture series was established in the hope that Eunice’s tragic death in 1977 would not end her impact on the profession, teaching, and scholarship she loved so much. While the lectures may be on any topic, the philosophy department makes a special effort to choose topics in areas of special interest to Eunice, namely ethics, philosophy of mind, and feminism. These lectures are supported by a fund established by Eunice’s family and friends.
Reception to follow.

Art and Soul
2025-03-11 18:30 - 19:30 | The Cave Makerspace (Rolvaag Library)
Art and Soul is a weekly craft circle – with a twist! Every Tuesday from 6:30-7:30 pm in the DiSCO Cave (the makerspace in Rolvaag), there will be a new art activity in conjunction with a relevant mindfulness exercise. The goal is to practice intentionality and mindfulness through playful artistic experimentation. While some topics may center around thinking about our individual or personal vocations, making art is in and of itself a part of vocation, especially when it is done with community. The goal is to foster a space that is intentional, playful, and student oriented – an invitation to engage with others and with yourself in a creative, mindful way, regardless of artistic talent or inclination. Whether you’re looking for an opportunity to reflect, engage with the wider St. Olaf community, or even just some free craft supplies, all are welcome!

2025-03-20 16:00 - 18:00 | Sun Ballroom

Ivanov will speak on the influence of the Reformation on East Slavic Orthodoxy, focusing on religious reforms that swept Russia and Ukraine during the reign of Peter I and his successors. While the Reformation played a pivotal role in the emergence of Western civilization, its impact on Europe’s peripheries and beyond remains debated. Ivanov’s work broadens the scope of the Reformation and repositions Orthodoxy within Europe’s early modern intellectual history.
This lecture is sponsored by the Leraas Fund and Lutheran Center for Faith, Values, and Community, with contributions from Special Collections.

“Beyond Closure” Screening with Filmmaker Q&A
2025-04-08 18:30 - 20:00 | Buntrock Commons Viking Theater
All faculty, staff, and students are welcome to attend a film screening of “Beyond Closure” (54 mins), followed by Q&A with Urban Designer and Executive Producer Paola Aguirre Serrano (30 mins).

Film synopsis: What happened since Chicago closed 50 public schools in 2013? This documentary retraces the history of the largest mass school closures in the U.S. history highlighting the intertwined issues of inequity, racism, and injustice. Three closed schools showcase a new pathway – the one of community self-determination. Through the voices of community members leading the repurposing of Emmet, Woods, and Overton schools, this film reflects on community impact, their setbacks and wins towards redevelopment.

Paola Aguirre Serrano is a native of the US-Mexico border, urban designer, educator, and partner at Borderless Studio, an architecture and urban design practice with presence in Chicago and San Antonio invested in spatial justice and equitable design through collaborative approaches. Paola leads Creative Grounds, an initiative focused on Chicago’s closed public schools.

Co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Race Matters, Film and Media Studies, and the Leraas Fund.

Reflections of a Latin Americanist in Tumultuous Times
2025-04-10 19:00 - 20:00 | Buntrock Commons Viking Theater
Join us for an evening with Jeane Delaney! Hear her talk, “Reflections of a Latin Americanist in Tumultuous Times.” Hosted by Latin American Studies.
Professor Jeane DeLaney will return to St. Olaf to give a talk titled REFLECTIONS OF A LATIN AMERICANIST IN TUMULTUOUS TIMES. DeLaney will talk about her career as a Latin Americanist and how her passion for the region, first sparked by her junior year abroad in Colombia, became the central touchstone of her personal and professional life. Having grown up in the 1960s and ’70s, when policy makers viewed Latin America solely through the lens of the Cold War and routinely supported brutal dictatorships friendly to the U.S., she realized early on how critical it is that there be a group of people in our society who are informed about Latin America and U.S. actions in the region. This conviction served as the motivating force behind her decision to become a teacher of Latin American history and to develop one of the first and longest running U.S. study abroad programs in Cuba.
As our country enters another tumultuous period in U.S.- Latin American relations, DeLaney will reflect on the continuing importance of Latin American Studies as a discipline and the special responsibility Latin Americanists have to advocate for both the region and its citizens who are currently living in the U.S. In this regard, she’ll speak about her post-retirement projects, which include volunteering for Stove Team International to distribute safe cooking stoves in Central America and–more recently–founding a new non-profit called FIELD TO FUTURE. This non-profit, for which she serves as Executive Director, supports seasonal workers who come to the Pacific Northwest through the H-2A agricultural visa program.
The presentation is part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Latin American Studies at St. Olaf.
