National Poetry Month, launched by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, is an annual celebration in April that aims to highlight the importance of poetry and poets in American culture, encouraging people to read, write, and share poetry.The University Libraries, in collaboration with The Upstate Institute and the Adirondack Center for Writing, will be circulating a poetry machine throughout the Village of Hamilton in April.Pay attention the next time you’re at Case-Geyer, Flour & Salt, MOMs, or the Hamilton Public Library. You might encounter the ACW’s Poetry Machine.The Poetry Machine is an old capsule machine, the kind you might spend two quarters to get a bouncy ball, sticky hand, or small plastic alien from in the vestibule of a convenience store. With our machine, you can get your very own poem (for free—no quarters necessary).Inside the Poetry Machine are 10 different poems. Each one features a unique style of poetry, including haiku, cento, epistolary, list, ode, ekphrasis, prose poem, how-to, erasure, and cut-up.If you want to "check out" more poetry, visit the poetry display on the third floor of Case-Geyer. - 9:00 AM30mMorning MeditationToday's Events | Chapel House, Meditation Hall

Through an ongoing series of community conversations, the artist and architect Suchi Reddy has been in dialog with students, faculty, staff and townspeople throughout the 2024-2025 academic year to learn about the ways in which our encounters with reflection and misreflection in physical and digital spaces contribute to our experience of bias and belonging. A culmination of the year's conversations, Bias and Belonging poetically reframes the Colgate community's embodied experience of belonging in woven, textual and digital forms. Bias and Belonging is the latest iteration of Reddy's ongoing exploration into embodied states of being that reflect our individual and collective experience as we code switch and transform in evolving environments both digital and physical.Presented by the Art Department and the Christian A. Johnson Foundation*.Join us for the exhibition opening reception and gallery talk Friday, April 4, 4 p.m. (part of Arts, Creativity, and Innovation Weekend 2025).*The Christian A.

Symbiotic Extremisms and Reactive Radicalization: The Algorithmic Combat Theater of Citizenship’s Transnational Crisis Scarcely three decades into the twenty-first century, techno-utopian discourses of “social media democratization” that accompanied 2011’s so-called “Arab Spring” now appear fundamentally bankrupt, replaced by anxieties about the proliferation of conspiracy theory, nation-state influence campaigns, and the spread of online “disinformation” that have accompanied the global rise of far-right populism, authoritarian ethno-nationalist movements, and the pervasive threat of transnational terrorism.From Narendra Modi’s BJP and China’s anti-Uigher crackdown, to the Western recruits of ISIS and internationalist Neo-Nazi fighters in Ukraine, nation-state actors and non-state armed groups alike exhibit an increasingly pervasive concern for communitarian-based (re)definitions of the citizen that challenge pluralistic conceptions of belonging. This contemporary geopolitical zeitgeist is often identified as “political polarization,” but how do such trends operate, mobilize, and spread?Taking as primary case study the paradoxically parallel objectives of so-called Islamic State and transnational Neo-Nazi accelerationists (each seeking “purified” territories of unitary identitarian affiliation), this talk examines the ways in which new media’s fear-based political economy enables symbiotic extremisms and reactive radicalization, embodying the contemporary geopolitical zeitgeist: transnational citizenship(s) in crisis.Dr. Amanda E. Rogers is a Fellow at the Century Foundation, where her research focuses on transnational political violence and non-state armed groups, and serves as a consultant to the U.S. Department of State and United Nations on the media and propaganda strategies of extremist groups, ranging from Neo-Nazi accelerationism to the so-called Islamic State. Her photojournalism, cultural commentary, and political analysis routinely appears in such forums as the Brookings Institution, Al-Jazeera, the New York Times, the Atlantic Council, The Intercept, CNN, and the BBC.This public lecture is part of the Peace and Conflict Studies program's 24-25 Digital War speaker series. - 5:00 PM2hSurvivor Speak OutToday's Events | Private Location
