Jonathan Mooney: Normal Sucks Connecticut College 2021-02-08 | In his book Normal Sucks, Jonathan Mooney, a neuro-diverse writer, advocate, and father meditates on his life, offering the radical message that we should stop trying to fix people and start empowering them to succeed. As a kid diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD who didn't learn to read until he was twelve, the realization that he wasn’t the problem—the system and the concept of normal were—saved Mooney’s life and fundamentally changed his outlook. In this closing guest lecture, he explores the toll that being "not normal" takes on kids and adults when they’re trapped in environments that label them, shame them, and tell them, even in subtle ways, that they are the problem. But, he argues, if we can reorient the ways in which we think about diversity, abilities, and disabilities, we can start a revolution.

Global Engagement and Erasure on the Liberal Arts Campus Connecticut College 2021-02-07 | In debates leading up to the passage of the British East India Company’s “English Education Act 1835,” the Whig politician and historian Thomas Babbington Macaulay produced his famous “Minute on Education,” notoriously arguing that no one “could deny that a single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia.” Macaulay’s argument carried the day in colonial India 185 years ago. Does the curricular (under)representation of the Global South across the humanities and social science departments of twenty-first century U.S. liberal arts institutions not suggest at least tacit agreement with – and adherence to – Macaulay’s nineteenth century colonial perspective? Amy Dooling, Associate Dean of Global Initiatives and Director of The Walter Commons for Global Study and Engagement, facilitates a conversation between featured guest Sourav Guha, Executive Director of the Consortium on High Achievement and Success (CHAS) and Sheetal Chhabria, Associate Professor of History at Connecticut College.
