  • Gen Z Rising

    Academic Center 101 604 College Avenue, NORTH MANCHESTER, IN, United States

    Dr. Anuj Gurung and MU students of Jan 26 This presentation, led by MU students who have visited Nepal, explores the unprecedented role of Nepal’s Generation Z in challenging entrenched political systems and catalyzing a change of government. Drawing on on-the-ground accounts, social media campaigns, and youth-led organizing, it examines how a digitally connected, socially conscious generation transformed frustration into coordinated action. We will trace the movement’s origins, tactics, and leadership, highlight the cultural and political context that gave rise to it, and consider its implications for democratic participation, governance, and intergenerational power dynamics across South Asia and beyond.

  • Redefining Religion

    Love argues that reexamining Conjure traditions exposes how African American spiritual practices have been sidelined in Eurocentric religious studies. Highlighting Conjure’s history of resistance and Black women’s agency, the essay challenges Western categories that separate religion, magic, and science. Love ultimately urges a decolonized approach that honors the resilience and creativity of African American folk traditions.

In Chicago, the Puerto Rican community has played a pivotal role in shifting understandings of identity and belonging over the past century. This talk will demonstrate how Chicago and the whole Midwest have generated elements of culture and politics that helped pave the way for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl moment, and it will suggest a possible future path for Puerto Ricans and their relationship with the USA.
