Event Name: Storie Family Lecture Series Event State: Confirmed Organization: History Department Event Locator: 2025-AATBNS Tal Howard outlines three forms of modern secularism since the Enlightenment—passive, combative, and eliminationist—arguing that the latter two are often violent. Westerners tend to view passive secularism as typical, but a global perspective reveals a more complex picture. By examining diverse historical contexts and case studies from countries like the former Soviet Union, Turkey, Mexico, and China, Howard challenges the common view of modernity as a peaceful triumph of secularism over religion.

Event Name: "Trouble in Mind" by Alice Childress Event State: Confirmed Organization: Philip Lynch Theatre Event Locator: 2025-AATAXW A talented and experienced Black actress has been cast in Chaos in Belleville, an anti-lynching play set to open on Broadway. She’s paid her dues throughout the years, playing stereotypical supporting roles in second-rate shows, and is ready for her star turn. Chaos in Belleville, written by a white playwright, might not be quite as enlightened a piece as she’s been hoping for — but that doesn’t mean it won’t sell out. And selling out is the question at the heart of Alice Childress’s comedy-drama. A cast of multigenerational Black actors rehearse under the purview of a white director and stage manager, and as the rehearsal process unfolds, theatre conventions and racial politics collide, resulting in a surprisingly funny yet deeply piercing look at the entertainment industry To purchase tickets call 815-836-5500 or go to www.lewisu.edu/PLTtix
