Gardner Institute Internship Opportunities
Students (undergraduate and graduate) who are interested in spending a period of time (usually one academic term) working with the Institute are invited to submit the Internship form. All internships are online at this time. Internships may or may not carry academic credit which would be awarded by the student’s home institution. The Institute will provide a qualified supervisor for the intern who will provide the intern’s institutional faculty of record with an appropriate evaluation of the intern’s performance in order to facilitate the institution’s awarding of course credit. Ideally, the intern will undertake some kind of project during the internship that must be reviewed and approved by both the Institute and the intern’s faculty member(s) of record at the intern’s institution. Typically, there is one internship available during each academic term, including summer. Application deadlines are October 7 (for spring), March 3 (for summer). Deadline is 5 pm Eastern for every semester. Applications are now open for Spring 2024. For Spring 2024, the Gardner Institute is looking for a student intern to work with our Curricular Analytics Community. The internship will largely consist of compiling information to be used in a collection documenting approaches to curricular redesign. Student interns will work with guidance from the Gardner staff to plan, design, and gather information for the collection. The internship is ideally suited for anyone who has interest in mass media, professional writing, and student success in educational settings. Interns will receive a stipend of $1,500 per semester and academic credit may also be available. All internships are online at this time. To apply for our internship, please complete the Internship Form due October 7, 2023. Notifications on decisions will occur 6 weeks after the deadline. Internships require a commitment of 10-15 hours per week and availability during business hours of 9 am – 5 pm. POTENTIAL INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:

The Observer - new issue available! A new issue of The Observer is out today! You’ll be able to pick up hard copies of Issue 9 at newsstands all around campus or read it online at www.fordhamobserver.com. Join the FCLC Dean’s Student Advisory Group in 2023 - 2024! Elizabeth Carillo, FCLC ‘25, Chair of the FCLC Dean’s Student Advisory Group, writes: As we start off the year, we are looking for new members to join our dynamic FCLC Student Advisory Group! In their involvement, students get to learn the inner workings of FCLC and the university at large. They have met with the FCLC Board of Advisors, representatives of FCLC in the Faculty Senate, as well as the Assistant Dean at FCLC. These meetings provided helpful wisdom to the students to help create action plans to improve our community. One of our goals this year is to further connect with students and take their concerns directly to the Dean. An initiative created last year called “Ask the Dean” was created by members in the Student Advisory Group as a method to answer questions students may not know they had. Learn more about the group on our webpage and in this recent Fordham News story. If you are interested in joining, submit an application by September 18th. If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth Carillo: ecarrillo5@fordham.edu Fordham Counseling & Psychological Services Group and Workshop Offerings

A History of Censorship’ September 20 | 4 pm | Walsh Library (Rose Hill) Books, libraries, librarians, and writers are subject to attacks—again. Recent bans of books across the United States targeting Black history, the Holocaust, and LGBTQ themes have dominated the news. But book censorship has a longer history. “Banned! A History of Censorship” explores this history, along with practices of censorship, the methods to control and ban books and ideas, the resilience of censored works, and attempts to push back. As this exhibit demonstrates, cultural, religious, and moral values are never static. They change over time. If some of the books and ideas become acceptable, others might become abhorrent. Because Fordham as a Catholic and Jesuit university was obliged to abide by the Index of Prohibited Books until its abolition in 1966, the exhibit also explores how Fordham dealt with books that were included in the Index. The exhibit is on view at the Walsh Family Library in the main exhibition hall on the first floor and in the Special Collections on the fourth floor. An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, September 20 at 4 p.m. Chile: Dignidad, 1973-2023; Art Exhibit by María Verónica San Martín (Lincoln Center) Lipani Gallery, Visual Arts suite, Lowenstein ground floor, 113 West 60th St Curated by Dr. Carl Fischer, Chair of Modern Languages and Literatures, this exhibition presents a collection of works by the Chilean artist María Verónica San Martín. The exhibit offers a retelling through performance, book art, and engravings of politically crucial moments of recent Chilean history and their interconnectedness with US experience, with a focus on the motif of Dignidad as a denunciation of past abuses and as a cry for social justice. The exhibition is already open. You are invited to a reception on September 7 at 5:30. ERASED//Geographies of Black Displacement; Art Exhibit by Shana M. griffin (Lincoln Center) Butler Gallery, Lowenstein ground floor, 113 West 60th St Organized by Casey Ruble, Associate Clinical Professor of Visual Arts and Artist in Residence at Fordham, this exhibition combines found objects, photographs, text, paintings, and ephemera to explore Black displacement, dislocation, containment, and disposability through government policies and actions in two locations, Louisiana and the Lincoln Center area (formerly known as San Juan Hill). Also on view are selections from griffin’s other works. The pieces examine the many ways in which displacement takes place, how it shapes Black life, and how sites of displacement become ones of everyday violence, subjectivity, and resistance, but also possibility. Happening around town Events at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (free or pay-what-you-wish) Located across the street from Fordham’s Lincoln Center campus, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts offers free and pay-what-you-wish events year-round.
Lincoln Center: David Rubenstein Atrium Events 61 W 62nd St, New York, NY 10023 All events at the Atrium are free and open to the public. Trace Mountains
September 14 | 7:30 pm Pitchfork calls the lyric-forward, New York-based indie rock band Trace Mountains, "a decisive step forward" for its lead singer-songwriter Dave Benton (formerly of LVL UP). Benton’s sprawling and introspective tunes borrow flavor from a host of contemporary indie giants—the sad laments of Phil Elverum, the antic invention of Dinosaur Jr., the delicate jangle of Sufjan Stevens—while still managing to maintain his own original and innovative voice. Trace Mountains' latest LP, 2021's House of Confusion, finds the combo exploring a metaphoric backroad of rural American isolation. Alongside drummer Greg Rutkin, bassist Bernard Casserly, guitarist Jim Hill and keyboardist Logan Roth, Benton will play hits from that album, plus other Trace Mountains songs both classic and soon-to-be-released. Jaime Lozano’s Songs by an Immigrant Vol. 2 September 15 | 7:30 pm Heralded by no less than Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda as “the next big thing on Broadway," Mexican musical multi-hyphenate and Lincoln Center regular Jaime Lozano returns to the David Rubenstein Atrium to celebrate the release of his highly anticipated new album Songs by an Immigrant Vol. 2. A 2022 Jonathan Larson Grant recipient, Lozano honestly portrays the challenges of the first- and second-generation middle class U.S. immigrant experience: finding a new home, learning a new language, dealing with discrimination, pursuing the American Dream, and searching for ways to build bridges instead of walls. His new album, released by award-winning label Concord Records, features an all-star Latine lineup of Broadway and Off-Broadway performers: Florencia Cuenca, Mauricio Martínez (ON YOUR FEET!), Mandy Gonzalez (Hamilton), Raul Midón (Grammy Award nominee), and new family members like Robin de Jesús (Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tick, Tick… Boom!), Melissa Barrera (Scream, In The Heights), Ella Bric (2018 Producer of The Year Latin Grammy Award winner), Eden Espinosa (Wicked), among many more!

His new project finds James throwing down the gauntlet on the past 100 years of jazz singing while charting a path forward for the culture. The album, produced by James, investigates the breadth of Badu’s iconic catalog, from her groundbreaking debut, Baduizm, to her contemporary masterpieces, New Amerykah Pt. 1 and 2. Admission is free. Bruce Davidson: The Way Back Through September 16 | Howard Greenberg Gallery; 41 East 57th St, Suite 801, New York, NY 10022 Selected by the acclaimed photographer from his vast archive, this exhibition presents previously unpublished work dating from 1957-1977. The photographs represent the arc of Davidson’s versatile career with individual images that were overlooked at the time. Some are from Davidson’s most well-known series—East 100th Street, a look at one Harlem block in 1966-68; Brooklyn Gang, which followed a group of teenagers in the summer of 1959; Time of Change, his Civil rights photographs from 1961-65; and Subway, a look at life on the trains from 1977. Admission is free. Poetry Reading at the Garden w/ McNally Jackson September 17 | 4 pm | Elizabeth Street Garden; 211 Elizabeth St New York, NY, 10012 Open call to NYC poets! Join Elizabeth Street Garden for their free bi-weekly poetry program in partnership with McNally Jackson Bookstore. Submit your work to art@elizabethstreetgarden.com Screens Series: Jamie Crewe Through September 17 | New Museum; 235 Bowery, New York, NY 10002 Combining video with drawing, text, and music, Jamie Crewe (b. 1987, Manchester, United Kingdom) produces dreamlike vignettes that weave together poetic retellings of Ancient Greek myths, Victorian literature, British horror stories, and queer histories. Rendered with intricate drawings bathed in saturated colored lights, or set in the craggy Scottish countryside, Crewe’s experiments with established narratives create new allegorical traditions that reflect upon contemporary questions of gender, desire, trans liberation, and the act of performing the self. Through the process of untethering conventional readings of time-honored tales, Crewe imbues source material with an almost magical power; in their retelling, these stories collapse into their own fictions and then are rebuilt. Student discounted tickets are available for purchase online. The Week That Changed American Politics: The 1948 Democratic Convention and the Rise of Civil Rights September 19 | 6-7 pm | 7th floor, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, 455 5th Ave Join the NYPL for a stimulating conversation between Samuel G. Freedman (award-winning author, columnist, and professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism) and Julian E. Zelizer (Malcolm Stevenson Forbes, Class of 1941 Professor of History and Public Affairs at Princeton University, CNN Political Analyst, and NPR Contributor) on Freedman's recent publication, Into the Bright Sunshine: Young Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights. During one sweltering week in July 1948, the Democratic Party gathered in Philadelphia to struggle over its future. The question was not whom the party would nominate for president -- the incumbent, Harry Truman, was the presumptive candidate -- but rather whether the Democrats would finally embrace the cause of civil rights. The outcome of that turbulent week -- which recently marked its 75th anniversary -- has shaped American politics today. Into the Bright Sunshine: Young Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights celebrates one of the overlooked landmarks of civil rights history and illuminates the early life and enduring legacy of the man who helped bring it about. Free Summer Movies with NYC Parks Various dates and locations through September NYC Parks and the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment have made it possible for New Yorkers across the boroughs to find a free outdoor movie screening near them every week. These family-friendly screenings are held in the city's parks and playgrounds, ranging from great new movies to all-time classics. All showings are free. |
