A Collaborative Note: Colby Symphony Orchestra Is A True- And Unusual- Musical Community, Christina Dong

Colby Magazine

After a final warm-up trill, the room quiets and conductor Stan Renard reaches for the baton. As the musicians watch him intently, he raises his arms, takes a breath, and delivers the opening cue.

Strengthening A Historic Connection: Center For Small Town Jewish Life To Bolster Community Ties And Replace Them Elsewhere, Stephen Collins

Colby Magazine

For generations, collaboration between Colby and central Maine's Jewish community has been one of the strong threads in the fabric of the town-gown partnership, and in recent years it's grown even stronger.

Educating By Poetry: In A Too-Literal World, Metaphor Makes Magical Connections, Adrian Blevins

Colby Magazine

I often rouse students in my poetry classes through hypothetical exams. Sometimes the subject of the exam is quite narrow: Is this image of something "falling light as a thistlebloom" effective in Heather's gritty Manhattan poem? Or the question is vast, universal: What is the purpose of poetry? Why are we sitting here doing this? Shouldn't we cease our literary indulgences right this instant and find some hungry kids to feed?

Understanding The Irony: Canadian Gay Men Living With Hiv/Aids, Their Catholic Devotion, And Greater Well-Being, Renato M. Liboro, Richard T.G. Walsh

Psychology Faculty Research

Nine Canadian Catholic HIV-positive gay men were interviewed to obtain a better understanding of why and how they were able to persevere in their faith despite their religion’s teachings against homosexuality and contributions to the stigmatization of HIV/AIDS. By examining the lived experiences and personal perspectives of the participants, the study aimed to explore and elucidate the significant role of Catholicism and the Catholic Church both as a continued source of marginalization and oppression, as well as strength and support, for Canadian gay men living with HIV/AIDS today.
