Dear Faculty, Administrators and Staff,
|
The BIG EAST Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium brought together the 11 BIG EAST Conference institutions in a competition of the minds, where judges from the member institutions examined the student research poster presentations on a variety of academic metrics. In its third year, the symposium was held at the Garden before the BIG EAST Championship Finals that evening. I invite you to learn more about this year’s participating students and the symposium.
|
In addition, I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very blessed Easter. Easter is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always the promise of new beginnings and the possibility of transformation, hope and life.
|
As members of our Catholic university community, we are called to embody these Easter values in all that we do - in our teaching, our scholarship, and our service to others. We are called to be beacons of hope, spreading light and warmth to those around us, and to be agents of renewal, constantly seeking ways to create a more just and compassionate world.
|
As we gather with our loved ones to celebrate Easter this year, let us take a moment to pause and reflect on the many blessings in our lives, and to recommit ourselves to the values that lie at the heart of our faith and our university community.
|
Wishing you and your families a joyous and blessed Easter filled with hope, renewal and the promise of new beginnings.

Professor Brendan Kiely Discusses Award-Winning “All American Boys” on Zet Forward
New York Times bestselling author and Seton Hall Professor Brendan Kiely is Writer-in-Residence in the Department at Seton Hall. Earlier this month, he joined Walsh Librarian Gerry Shea on Zet Forward to discuss his award-winning 2015 book, All American Boys (with Jason Reynolds). The novel follows the lives of two teens (one Black, one white) living and trying to navigate the aftermath of a violent act which divides their school, community, and, as in real life, the entire country. Racial tensions run high in All American Boys, and the narrative presents a powerful, moving, and gritty portrait of life in America today.
|
“As a black man and a white man, both writers and educators, we came together to cowrite a book about how systemic racism and police brutality affect the lives of young people in America..." said Kiely and Reynolds. Kiely is also the author of Tradition, The Last True Love Story, and The Gospel of Winter. His most recent book is The Other Talk: Reckoning with Our White Privilege. Listen to the episode.

Law Professor Gaia Bernstein Holds Tech Companies Accountable in Recent Book
Professor Gaia Bernstein published the recent book Unwired: Gaining Control Over Addictive Technologies (Cambridge University Press), citing significant legal implications of technology companies' role in creating screen addictions. Her research revealed how dangerous the road to reclaiming self-control and focus has become for many people, particularly children and young adults. Bernstein suggests we look to the tobacco and food industries for lessons about how government regulation can help stem the tide of digital addiction. Becoming Unwired, Bernstein says, is a movement towards positive change. Bernstein, who is the Technology, Privacy, and Policy Professor at Seton Hall Law School, co-directs the Institute for Privacy Protection and the Gibbons Institute for Law Science and Technology.

Professor David Wood Shares Framework for Political Ethics in New Book
From David Wood, Professor of Practice at the School of Diplomacy and International Relations, comes Ethics of Political Commemoration: Towards a New Paradigm (Palgrave Macmillan). With 18 years’ experience in promoting conflict transformation in violent settings, Wood has established the peacebuilding organization Peaceful Change initiative (2011), and the MENA program at the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies (2018). Ethics of Political Commemoration reminds readers that "remembrance is often conducted with political – and even coercive – intent," and Wood (with co-author Gutbrod) share experiences and discussions from Armenia, Georgia, Ireland, Lebanon, and Libya, as well as Western Europe and the United States. Wood's book is an important read for all citizens and scholars who hope to transform conflicts.
