Rowan University Art Gallery presents the exhibit "Common Interests: mobility and transformation of public life" from January 22 through March 16.

"Common Interests" is a survey of projects that question how public space and public assets are managed, offering theoretical and practical ideas for reclaiming autonomy in public space. Working with sculpture, interventions, social practice, drawing, performance and video, the exhibiting artists reflect on the limitations and possibilities of public space, proposing new ways of accessing, navigating and improving these shared resources. Guest curated by Sara Reisman, the exhibition features work by Pierluigi Calignano, Sue Jeong Ka, Jonggeon Lee, Mary Mattingly, Diego Medina, Francesco Simeti, Tattfoo Tan, Lan Tuazon and Alex Villar.

Admission is free and open to the public. Regular gallery hours are Monday - Friday, 10 am - 5 pm (extended to 7 pm on Wednesday); and Saturday, 12 - 5 pm.

Lessons of the Henrietta Lacks Story: Bioethics and Social Justice | More Info
01:45 PM - 03:30 PM
Location: Boyd Recital, Wilson Hall

Science and Social Justice Lecture presented by Dr. Dorothy Roberts, George A. Weiss University Professor of Law and Sociology and the Raymond Pace and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander Professor of Civil Rights, University of Pennsylvania School of Law.

In this lecture, Dr. Dorothy Roberts will outline the social construction of race and expose the historical entanglements of scientific research with the idea of biological race. The legacies of medical exploration, experimentation and neglect based on the interlocking realities of race, gender, and class will be given special attention within the frames of bioethics and legal boundaries for conducting research. Attention will be given to the lessons that scientists can learn from the Henrietta Lacks story in addressing the issues of medical care, research, and ethics as shaped by social inequities.

This lecture is made possible with the support from Africana Studies program, American Studies Department, Biology Department, EOF/MAP program, Dr. Harley E. Flack Student Mentoring Program, History Department, and the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
