Since this does not purport to be a comprehensive or professionally compiled listing, some names of accomplished individuals inevitably will or may have been overlooked or not gathered for inclusion.

Profession, Community, and Purpose

In these dynamic essays (University of Utah Press, 2017) thirteen scholars explore the ways in which spiritual paradigms have shaped their vocations as teachers, scholars, mentors, and advocates and how those approaches have been integral to their life’s work, not merely to their work life. These insightful testimonies narrate the relationships of career, family, students, patients, and colleagues, weaving them together rather than compartmentalizing them. This process reveals challenges inside and outside the academy and other professional settings, bringing forth tales of suffering and transformation, and tallying up hard-earned life lessons in order to share wisdom achieved. Luisa Del Giudice will be joined by book contributors Edvige Giunta, Karen Guancione, Lauren Vitiello, and others in discussion about the collection.

This evening presents two books that explore the experiences of two indomitable immigrant women, as seen through the eyes of their younger female relatives. Marianne Leone’s mother moved to the United States under tragic circumstances, and when she was suddenly widowed with three young children, she had few options. Ma Speaks Up (Beacon Press, 2017) is the daughter’s record of growing up feeling she was on the wrong side of the tracks, with the wrong family, in the wrong religion. Although Marianne endured shame during her childhood, she now appreciates also the love, great cooking, and humor that she experienced. Since the age of four, Helene Stapinski heard lurid yet exciting tales about her great-great-grandmother, a strong and unconventional woman who, after committing murder,

Peter Carravetta, SUNY Stony Brook. This study proposes a fundamental shift in approaching social and cultural history from the viewpoint of migrations as opposed to employing the nation-state paradigm. It argues that a migration focus allows for a more nuanced and politically and existentially

Carravetta’s discussions of selected literary works illuminate his argument. After Identity (Bordighera Press, 2017) also posits that ethnic/national identity, typically attributed on the basis of name, language, or provenance, is instead the result of continuous struggles between an inner sense of self and an outer imposition that varies over time and place. The challenge, therefore, is to negotiate this dialectic in

capital, technologies, and power structures that are already post-national and trans-ethnic.
