A special presentation, hosted in coordination with the Neville Public Museum’s city-wide Art & the Animal project which features a world premiere art exhibit that “demonstrates the importance of animals in our world.” In past art, this might have meant depicting animals as food, companions, or as symbols of the purity of nature. In this session, we’ll look at a few contemporary artists who use animals in their work, and the implications—sometimes controversial—of their practices.
Carol Emmons MFA, UW-Milwaukee, has exhibited at the Chicago Cultural Center, Museum of Contemporary Art (Houston), Orange County Center for Contemporary Art (Santa Ana), Raum 1 (Düsseldorf), Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art (New York), Philadelphia Arts Alliance, Elba Gastatelier (Netherlands), and Vanderbilt University, among others. Wisconsin solo exhibitions include the Madison Art Center, Walker’s Point Center for the Arts, Kohler Arts Center, and Wisconsin Academy. She received two Wisconsin Arts Board Fellowships (Sculpture and Inter-Arts), and the Wisconsin Arts Board Percent for Art commission (with architect Paul Emmons) for UWM’s School of Architecture. Emmons is Frankenthal Professor in the Arts and Visual Design at UW-Green Bay.

There are so many toys to choose from when deciding on the perfect gift for a young child that it is easy to get overwhelmed! Whether you are looking for toys that will encourage the creative side in him or toys that will further the athletic abilities in her, there is no shortage of valuable products on the market. So, how do you decide which toy will provide the most fun while also providing valuable experiences that will help foster development? I will answer this question by briefly reviewing the literature on the developing child (ages 0 - 12 years) and then reviewing toys that are best suited to enhance young children’s social, physical, and cognitive development.
Jennifer Zapf has a Ph.D. from Indiana University and teaches “Psychology of Cognitive Processes” and “Experimental Psychology”. Her research interests include children’s language acquisition and cognitive development, children’s comprehension and production of the English plural, and the role of number concepts in children’s language learning.

Can organizations tap into the power of humor to enhance creativity, productivity, and satisfaction? The answer depends on (1) who you are, (2) the kind of humor being used, and (3) the purpose behind the humor. The outcomes of humor – good, bad, or neutral – depend on whether you’re in a position of power and whether you use positive or negative humor. They also depend on what you are trying to accomplish by using humor. Are you trying to keep people “in line” with organizational norms? Or, are you trying to communicate something negative while maintaining an overall positive focus? The goal of this lecture is to leave you with a solid understanding of whether work humor works, and how.
Lucy A. Arendt is an assistant professor in the Professional Programs in Business (Management) at UWGB. Dr. Arendt conducts research on leaders’ use of humor and followers’ creative performance, psychological stress and goal setting, and top management judgment and decision making, especially as it relates to hazard mitigation and disaster resilience.
