In These Unprecedented Times

In the past year, we have faced a global pandemic, economic challenges, virtual learning, and the “usual” challenges of life—starting college or moving toward graduation, working at new jobs, making new friends, and more. I tend to face such matters—perhaps everything—by reading. I read serious books and junk just as I watch serious film, documentary, news, and to be honest, escape. (Lately, I binge watched “Bridgerton,” for example.)

I thought, as we reach out to one another right now, between fall and spring, I would share a few books that have been part of my thinking and ask you to share something that helps you in these times. (See how to at the end of this note.)

  1. Bellah - The Broken Covenant
    “The Broken Covenant: American Civil Religion in Time of Trial,” by Robert Bellah, was published a long while ago, and reflects on the ways the United States has had aspirational ideals and deep-seated brokenness from the get-go. It looks to the ways we have been nativist—and inclusive, rooted in slavery and hoping for equality, populist, and elitist, and much more. Nearly 50 years old (or is it more?), I read the book when I was in college and return to it regularly to remember that America—both country and symbol—has been a mixed blessing. It matters to me in these unprecedented times.
  2. Schulman - Conflict is not Abuse
    Sarah Schulman’s work “Conflict Is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair” is a much more recent book written by someone who was in college at the University of Chicago when I was a graduate student. The book is imperfect, but it reminds me not to demonize those with whom I profoundly disagree.
  3. Juergen-meyer - Terror in the Mind of God
    Mark Juergensmeyer first wrote “Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence” after the first World Trade Center bombing in the early 1990s. The first half is chapters in which Juergensmeyer speaks with—indeed thinks with—violent extremists ranging across the world religions. His goal: to recognize the humanity even of those that one finds profoundly and deeply horrifying.
  4. Sontag - Illness as Metaphor
    In the 1980s and 1990s, I co-taught with a chemist a course on what we came to call AIDS/HIV. An author who helped me think about that pandemic was Susan Sontag in her works “Illness as Metaphor” and “AIDS and Its Metaphors.” She has helped me think about how we make sense of the pandemic shaping our lives.
  5. Jaffrey - from curries to kebabs
    One of my favorite ways to “escape” is to read murder mysteries. The list is huge, often including chefs or abstruse detectives who cook. I will spare you that list and list as a fifth book a cookbook I happen to truly love, Madhur Jaffrey’s “From Curries to Kebabs: Recipes from the Indian Spice Trail.” The book cover is a particularly shocking shade of pink. And, my own copy is truly a mess from re-reading and sloppy cooking.
  6. Cole - When No One is Watching
    And one extra: a thriller set in New York City, which is by Alyssa Cole and is entitled “When No One is Watching: A Thriller.” Trust me. It will keep you reading.

So: these books help or helped me. They distract or offer insight or challenge. They are not all the words to which I return—but they are on my mind right now. They are part of my toolbox to think with—part of my intellectual community acquired across many years—and to think against.

Recently a thinker visiting the Academy suggested Afro-futurism as a place to go to think more fulsomely. I was not expecting that. Turns out we share a love for Octavia Butler, but I had never heard of several works she recommended. I have them by my desk now.

Like that speaker, I think you have suggestions for me—and for us all. I would love to hear what reading and thinking you recommend. What works for you in these unprecedented times? Send me a note if you want (subject header: recommended reading).

Or, let me know what you are binge watching. These are indeed unprecedented times.

Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day January 18

Salem Academy and College is celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day as part of ongoing efforts towards becoming an anti-racist institution.

The Chaplain’s Office will hold a time of Remembrance and Reflection in observance of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 18, 2021 from 12:30 to 12:45 p.m. The entire Salem community is invited to attend via zoom. 

A team of faculty and staff from the Academy and College have put together a list of resources inspired by King’s work and legacy that can be found here. We would like to challenge faculty, staff, students, and alumni to engage by reading one article, watching one video, and listening to one podcast from this list in preparation for MLK Day. You are invited to use the hashtag #SalemResponds to discuss on social media how we can each respond to King’s calls for justice.

Although our recognition of MLK Day is an annual event, our institutional response to Dr. King’s calls have and must continue to be ongoing. Towards King’s dream of Beloved Community, Salem Academy and College has continued to reflect on its role in slavery through The Anna Maria Samuel Project: Race, Remembrance, and Reconciliation, which is working to deepen our understanding of Salem’s historical and current investments in racial systems of oppression.

Shayla Herndon-Edmunds continues to work with members of Salem Academy and College’s Board of Trustees, Alumnae boards, and Cabinet towards being a more equitable, just, and inclusive institution.

During Jan Term, the Academy is holding discussions with the 9th and 10th grades on the book Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You: A Remix of Stamped from the Beginning by Jason Reynolds & Ibram X. Kendi. Additionally, the Academy is hosting two guest speakers that work in fields of diversity to speak to students virtually about their works. On Wednesday, January 6, Dr. Janaka Bowman Lewis spoke about the “Genre and Genius in Black Women’s Writing.” Our upcoming speaker on Wednesday, January 13 will be Dr. Brynn Welch, who will speak on “Children’s Entertainment and Implicit Bias.”

At Salem College, student Peer Diversity Educators are engaged in ongoing educational efforts among their peers through programming and classroom visits. Their work on starting conversations on diversity and difference are part of all Salem College students’ SALEM 110 First Year Seminar Class.

We know that members of the Academy and College students, faculty, staff, and alumni are advancing Dr. King’s legacy in meaningful ways within their respective communities and industries. Thank you for your commitment and for your leadership.

In community,

Looking Toward the Future with Hope

As we prepare to enter the spring semester, I am filled with hope for brighter days ahead. I spent the holiday break cooking, reading, walking, and biking my way through each day that the weather gods graced with sunshine and moderate temperatures.

I also spent time preparing for the January 15 celebration of my dad’s 100th birthday. We will celebrate virtually, and with seven siblings and all the grands added in, this will be one big virtual party! My dad proudly served a military career in the US Navy and is a survivor of Pearl Harbor. He retired as a naval officer along with his three brothers, who were also career military officers. My grandparents were very proud of the accomplishments of their four sons from Valle Crucis, North Carolina.

We are also planning a drive by parade with neighbors and friends in honor of his birthday. With the virtual party and parade planned I added one additional piece by submitting his label to the “Today Show’s” Smucker’s Jelly Jar feature for centurions. We anxiously await a notice that he was selected for this honor.

We have worked hard to keep him safe during the pandemic because my parents live independently and without outside help coming in for support. His simple days remind me of how our lives can be well lived.

Life moves forward for all of us and we look toward the future with hope.

Salem College Completes First Semester of Great Beginnings Program

As Salem College prepares for the start of a remote spring 2021 semester supporting all students continues to be the priority for the Great Beginnings program.

In August 2020, when the decision was made to conduct all classes remotely, a key concern was how to keep students engaged. The Department of Athletics presented an idea to for a new program called “Great Beginnings.” This initiative provided high levels of support to all traditional first year students as well as transfer students in meaningful new connections with members of the athletic staff.

The Salem College coaches mentored all traditional first year and transfer students on a weekly basis during the first semester. With the success of this program, the coaches will continue to meet with these students and athletes on bi-weekly basis during the second semester. I am so proud of our staff and their work in supporting ALL students at Salem and collaborating with our colleagues in student affairs. As coaches, supporting students is what we do, and our coaches showed great resilience and agility in redirecting their talents and energy.

Among the initiatives that were put in place for these students were: goal setting; how to establish and maintain academic communication; exposure to campus life and events; academic support with midterm check-ins; backstop early alert efforts to augment Student Affairs; good time management habits; as well as how to utilize wellness accommodations.

“The support team for each student provided weekly outreach staffed by an athletic or staff coach/mentor, Resident Assistants, Orientation Leaders, and First Year Seminar faculty for first year students. The primary goal was to make sure each student was surrounded and connected by a caring resource team,” said Laurie Neff, Salem’s Dean of Students and Associate Vice President for Student Affairs. “Maintaining high levels of connectivity through the disruption of in-person learning while moving to online learning helped tremendously with the uncertainty, social isolation, and lack of in-person community students expressed.

“The Great Beginning mentors’ program has been a strategic and agile deployment of the athletic coaches, Student Affairs staff, and admissions counselors to support and sustain our students during the remote learning pandemic realities,” continued Neff. “We asked ourselves ‘How can organizations thrive during a global disruption?’ and the answer was by keeping employees engaged, connected, and productive in service to student needs to create a sense of belonging, care, and human outreach in the digital, distance learning environment. Our Athletic Director Trish Hughes and her team pivoted quickly to provide leadership interventions for our students along with the Student Affairs co-curricular team, and the Admissions staff to build a circle of care for each student.”

Salem College Continues Support of NCAA United As One Initiative

The Salem College Department of Athletics will further showcase its support for the “United As One” initiative from the three NCAA Divisional Student-Athlete Advisory Committees and Board of Governors Student-Athlete Engagement Committee, by donning a national Unity Pledge patch that focuses on symbolic gestures which generate stronger unity among the NCAA’s 1,100-plus schools and nearly 500,000 student-athletes.

Salem College student-athletes are also encouraged to support the Unity Pledge in the hope of creating a more perfect world. The logo includes three different colored hands holding one another’s wrists inside a circle with “United As One” at the bottom. The mark was sent to all NCAA schools in the form of a patch which will be placed on uniforms.
