As a Jesuit, Catholic university, Boston College is rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition — the conviction that faith and reason are mutually illuminating and that each academic discipline offers the potential to reveal the sacred. This partnership of faith and reason coalesces most intensely around momentous questions about ourselves like “Where do we come from?”; “Who or what are we?”; and “Where are we going?” Gregory Kalscheur, S.J., Dean of the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences, spoke about the Catholic intellectual tradition on Tuesday, January 30 at 5:30 p.m. in Gasson Hall on the Main Campus of Boston College.

Being paid the same amount of money to work fewer hours is a strong pitch, so it's easy to see why workers might support a four day week. Surprisingly though, there's also growing evidence that it'll boost overall productivity. The four day working week is being trialled from Iceland and Spain to the US and Scotland, with more places contemplating the model. So if it's a win for businesses and workers, then why isn't it already everywhere? Featured: Professor Juliet Schor, Economist and Sociologist, Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences, Boston College, Boston, US

Do dogs really love us? Are they really feeling guilty when they give us that unmistakably guilty look? Can dogs outsmart children when put to the test? Tune in to explore these questions and more, including: How certain interactions with dogs trigger the release of hormones in our bodies, and theirs Why domestication may have cost dogs their capacity for independent problem-solving What happens in terms of the dog's ability to pay attention and learn when we use baby talk to speak to them Angie Johnston is an assistant professor at Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences whose work revolves primarily around two simple, yet very compelling questions: what can dogs tell us about dogs, and what can they tell us about humans? Johnston is studying dogs closely in an attempt to grasp what's really going on in their minds, and to better understand which parts of our psychology are uniquely human, and which are shared with our furry best friends. She does this by conducting studies which compare dog behavior and problem-solving with that of human toddlers around the age of four or five. Some of the most surprising results came from a study looking at over-imitation, which is the tendency to imitate silly, unnecessary steps in a procedure, even when knowing they are silly or unnecessary. The findings would suggest that dogs are smarter than children, at least in this regard. And while that may be the case, Johnston explains why the findings actually make sense when viewed through a social and cultural lens. She also explains the dog's propensity to learn new words, the quantitative measures of their “love” for us and how they differ between domesticated dogs and wolves, the facial coding system in dogs and the evolution of that “puppy dog eyes” expression, and how the COVID-19 lockdowns have actually prompted Johnston and others to conduct virtual studies, which capture more purely the dog's behavior in their home environment.    Tune in for the details and check out https://sites.bc.edu/doglab/ to learn more.

The Americans by Car is Karl Baden’s latest book. An homage to Robert Frank’s The Americans and Lee Friedlander’s America by Car, Baden’s book “is a personal, more specific answer to the vague question of ‘how are we influenced,'” according to the artist. The photographs in the book were taken by Baden from his car and offer a snapshot of American life. Karl Baden, a New York City native, he received his B.A. in Fine Arts at Syracuse University in 1974 and an M.F.A. in photography at University of Illinois at Chicago in 1979. Baden has taught at Boston College, Harvard, Clark University, and Rhode Island School of Design. He was Director of Photography at the Project Art Center, Cambridge, in the early 1980s, and served on the board and programming committee for the Photographic Resource Center, Boston. Baden has had numerous one person and group exhibitions and has received noteworthy fellowships. Baden’s probably best known work is called “Every Day” which, this past February, marked thirty years since its start. In “Every Day,” Baden has taken a single photograph of his face every day. According to a recent interview, he’s only missed one day in the entire 30 years, 15 October 1991, It was a dumb moment of forgetfulness,” he said. Karl currently lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts and is an Associate Professor of the Practice in the Morrissey College of Art and Science at Boston College.
