Education for a New Humanity

Under Construction Spring 2020 ColloquiumFlorida SouthWestern's Department of Humanities and Fine Arts is proud to announce its fifth colloquium in the Education for a New Humanity series, an event designed to foster meaningful encounters with art and ideas, as our school and community join together in discussion over challenging topics. This year's theme is "Under Construction." Whether building homes or building walls, framing legal cases or bolstering defenses, creating art or synthesizing "alternative facts," our world is abuzz with projects, some serious, some spectacular, some merely suspect. After destruction, demolition, deconstruction, there comes a time to make something new—and that time seems to be now. The question is: what exactly are we building? The 2020 Humanities Colloquium invites you to ask this—and other—questions. Join faculty, students, community members, and featured speakers as we explore what it means to be under construction in this era of uncertainty and instability. As always, our goal is to demonstrate a range of strategies and perspectives for dealing with complex questions in order to empower our students and community to engage socio-political issues with critical thought, civil discourse, a rigorous pursuit of the truth, and creative resistance. In this way the colloquium seeks not to provide facile answers for its questions, but instead seeks to provide an introductory invitation to continued contemplation and dialog.Schedule of EventsFeatured Colloquium Speakers

Paper Clips Project

Whitwell Middle School, TennesseeIn 1998, teachers at Whitwell Middle School in Tennessee began a Holocaust education class. When the students struggled with the concept and scale of the Holocaust, they decided to collect six million paper clips - one for each Jew who perished during the Holocaust. The Paper Clips Project burgeoned, garnering international attention. In 2001, Whitwell Middle School dedicated a Children's Holocaust Memorial, featuring an authentic German boxcar filled with a portion of the more than thirty million paper clips collected. The documentary film, "Paper Clips," released in 2004, tells the inspirational story. To learn more about the Paper Clips Project and the award-winning documentary film, go to the website of the non-profit organization, One Clip at a Time, an outgrowth of the Paper Clips Project.Faculty, staff, and students at Florida SouthWestern State College wear yellow paper clips during Holocaust Memorial Week to honor all victims of discrimination, prejudice, and hate.The Florida SouthWestern State College yellow paper clip was presented to Linda Hooper, Principal, Whitwell Middle School, Tennessee.Whitwell Middle School created the Paper Clips Project to honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
