DEAR GODDARD COMMUNITY,
A
s of this writing I have conferred degrees in ve of
the six residencies of the new academic year. Being
present at these commencements has been a solid
reminder of the signicant value of the Goddard educational
model. I can honestly say that no two nal products described
were the same. Most were not even similar. In spite of the
differences in topics and approaches, I heard commonalities:
the incredible investment of both the author and reviewers
in the process; the high quality of work; and the relevance
of the nal product to each student, and to the rest of us.
Our learning-centered, experiential-based systeminformed by the works of
John Deweyworks. This system was put in place over 75 years ago with the reimagining
of Goddard as a four-year college, and morphed into the intensive, low-residency style that
originated over 50 years ago and that we use today. It has stood the test of time, and has
improved with that testing.
In its present conguration it depends heavily, though not exclusively, on the relationship
between the student-learner and the faculty-advisor. The system thereby places a hefty amount
of reliance on these relationships. Each student-faculty relationship has to make its way from
initiation to a nal product.
The path is informed by past
practices and expectations, but
is not prescriptive. The refrain
often heard on campus and
throughout a semesters study
is trust the process. That
process is one in which trust
and commitment are given
permission to inuence and lead
the work to its fruition. As I think of it, the College functions a
bit in that way, too. It is a learning-centered, experience-based
organization. Periodically we must rely on the call to trust the
process. In those moments we must allow that commitment to
trust and some amount of hope to work as we move through a tough patch. We are in such a
moment, and as I nd a widespread willingness to follow our creed, I am innitely grateful.
At Goddard commencements we are fond of pointing out that each student serves
as her or his own valedictorian. It is clear from the students introductory comments
that othersfaculty or fellow cohorts, perhapscontributed signicantly to their
culmination, but theythe studentwere the conduit and leading player in the work.
I see the same phenomenon playing out in the Colleges operation. Each player is the
author of her or his own successful work, yet we all need the support and high quality
work of others to construct a successful outcome for the College. It is happening.
With sincere admiration and thanks, trust, and commitment,
Bob Kenny, Interim President

program presented Al-
Mutanabbi Street Starts Here,
a major traveling exhibition
of book art and poetry, at the
Pratt Gallery in Plainfeld from
July through October. The
exhibit was created by a group
of global artists in response
to a tragic 2007 car bomb
explosion on Al-Mutanabbi
Street in the cultural and
historic bookselling district
of Baghdad, Iraq.
Beau Beausoleil, a San
Francisco poet, bookseller, and
founder of the Al-Mutanabbi
Street Coalition, organized
the call to action a few
weeks after the bombing.
This attack on a shared
cultural space should be seen
as an attack on us all, he said.
Beausoleil spoke at Goddard
as the MFAIA guest artist in
July. The exhibition has toured
the world since 2012, with
shows in England, Egypt, the
Netherlands, and the U.S,
to name just a few stops.
ROSIES GIRLS ACT UP AT GODDARD As part of community outreach for the Haybarn

A
mid ongoing corporate incursions in
higher education, few colleges can portray
themselves as sites for progressive or radical
learning and activity. Contrary to mainstream
trends, innovative thinking and practices have
been a defning feature of learning and life for
Goddards 600 students and scores of faculty
in more than a half dozen distinct programs.
In this essay I will sketch the Colleges philosophy and
practices and describe the work of a few recent graduates.
Their stories suggest the possibilities and difculties of
purposeful progressive or radical learning in a world of
growing hierarchy.
The education of the individual and the well being
of the community are forged in Goddards history and
mission. The current College was a response to the systemic
failures of the 1930s, when the capitalist system oundered,
millions were unemployed, and eugenics, race hatred and
militarism were on the rise. Goddard, its founders intended,
might challenge those trends. Rooted in an afrmation
of democratic life and promise, Goddard could question
hierarchy, afrm the worthiness of the common citizen and
serve as a more level community. Founding President Tim
REFLECTIONS
ON LEARNING
AT GODDARD
COLLEGE
Progressive Education in a
World of Growing Hierarchy
BY ROBERT BUCHANAN, IBA FACULTY MEMBER
Photos: Scenes from the July Art Crawl, a multi-media
celebration of the arts hosted by the MFAIA program.
Pitkin envisioned a small, residential-based experimental
learning site where learners and teachers sought to solve local,
state, and national problems through plain living and hard
thinking. Education was to be anchored in daily living and
not conned to abstract words and aspirations. While based in
Vermont, the College would still connect to the wider world.
Goddards educational tenets, honed in practice, have been
rened by succeeding generations of faculty. For more than a
half century, Will Hamlin worked closely with administrators,
colleagues and students to articulate the Colleges educational
beliefs and practices. Students would learn how to learn,
he noted simplyafter all they were respected as natural
and capable learners. Their growth often began with an
investigation of their personal interests and lived experiences
and radiated outward, like ripples in a pond, to include wider
concerns and interests. Hamlin identied certain steps to this
process including dialog, inquiry, investigation, reection,
and synthesis. Learning was about making meaning,
rather than gathering [xed] certainties. Educator John
Dewey described this process as reconstructive. Hamlin
interpreted this to mean that the learner can be powerfully
transformed by learning that spurs deep personal change.
If learning begins with the individual, the intention
of our work is to connect, not separate, the individual
from context and community. Interdependence, not
individualism, is both aspiration and underlying premise.
What we do, who we are, Hamlin explained,
always involves and affects others. If learning began
with the wholeness of persons and of their lives, it
equally promoted cooperative, collaborative, and active
membership in society as an outcome of education.
Learning activities, he reasoned, should be rooted in
cooperation and promote active membership in a culture.
One of the Colleges most signicant advances was
the adoption, in 1963, of the nations rst intensive low-
residency model. Designed by Evalyn Bates, the rst women
to graduate from the four-year residential undergraduate
program in 1943, Bates model has been extraordinarily lasting
and stable. It served as the template for Goddards current
programs and has inuenced the design of residencies for
organizations, colleges, and universities globally. When
Bates rst introduced her model to Pitkin in the late 1950s,
the president did not warm to the idea straight away. Bates,
however, understood the models tremendous implications.
Learning for adults was often life-long. A low-residency
model could initiate a powerful pattern of ongoing growth for
adults, and Bates convinced Pitkin to support the new model.
Joining the intensive low-residency model with earlier
century progressive tenets remains at the center of the
College, now in a globalized world. Faculty member Peter
Hocking (MFAIA) is inspired by the possibilities available
to learners and faculty. The acquisition of knowledge by the
learner, Hocking explains, is never a static or xed outcome
but more an active process aligned with a students life and
aspirations. He encourages his students to explore questions
and problems from multiple perspectives with the intention of
building innovative
understandings. Given
the variety of tools
available to learners,
Hocking encourages
learners to employ a
variety of learning styles and mediums. He sees progressive
learning as needed in an era of global commercialization.
Instead of embracing education as a means of
advancing the potential and signicance of our lives,
Hocking reasons, mainstream thinking positions schools
as levers to secure a foothold, in a precarious economy
and culture. The privilege of teaching at Goddard, he
concludes, is in honoring the worth of every learner.
Ultimately the vitality of learning is contingent on
students themselves. We support learners to become active,
reective learners responsible for the form and meaning
of their own education and their lives. We ask them to
integrate, not compartmentalize, their life and learning.
Often, this obliges students to question their place in the
worldnot to mention the world itself. When this exacting
and complex process takes hold, students often see learning
as a journey in which they are empowered and afrmed.
Whatever its successes, Goddard is also marked by the
problems of society at large. We strive to be a safe space
for all and do not always succeed. Our divisions are real.
Heterosexism, ableism, class division, patriarchy, and racism
are present. It took us many years to fund an elevator, and in the
interim students in wheelchairs had to brave snow and ice to

reach some classrooms. Growing tuition costs
and the decline in private and government
assistance make it difcult for working and
middle-class people to access our programs.
Like many colleges, Goddard struggles to
recruit and retain underrepresented students,
staff, and faculty. Vermont, like much of
New England, remains largely Eurocentric
or white. And our model of learning,
whatever its rewards, is labor intensive.
Recently, I visited a class taught by a
friend, a superb professor at one of the
nations most respected undergraduate col-
leges. The class involved a study of activism.
I asked students if they were changed by
their work in the class a standard Goddard
style question. Students seemed surprised
by my query; they hesitated. They had
studied activism but had not been asked to
share their aspirations, growth, or concerns.
This felt like schooling, more than ac-
tive learning. I thought of Goddard and our
vibrant, questioning learners and smiled.
Above all else, Goddard students serve
as the best examples of our approaches to
education in a complex, divided world. Their
words afrm the mission and worth of
our practices, and their experiences are as
revealing as the facultys learned analyses.
One recent graduate explained that
Goddard encouraged two states: an open
and exciting space of curiosity, intuition,
passion, conviction and feeling and an
organized space of epistemology, study
plans, building and exposition. What a way
to live! What dexterity it all requires! the
student exclaimed. Goddard has set up that
challenge for me, and now I take that sense of
adventure everywhere I go.
Finally, there is the student who noted:
I like the way someone looks at you when
you are trying to decide whether your latest
idea is a stroke of brilliance or madnessthe
look says, dont worry which one, just do it.

BY ELENA GEORGIOU, MFAW FACULTY & STUDENT
W
hen the Board of Trustees announced
that Robert Kennysomeone many
of us already knew and respected
was flling the interim president position, the
physical and virtual spirit of the extended Goddard
College community flled with optimism.
Bob had previously worked alongside former president
Mark Shulman, overseeing nance, administration, and
academic affairs. It is Bobs familiarity with the unique
history of the College, and the challenge of reinvigorating
the strength of what is already in place, that excites him
about his new role today. Along with the work of all the
members of the College community, he says, I look
forward to moving Goddard along a sustainable path.
After a few months as interim president, Bob and I
had a short email exchange about his return to his roots
in his home state, how he sees his new role, and the
way in which he views the interconnectedness of all the
relationships that allow Goddard College to thrive.
ELENA GEORGIOU: As a homegrown president,
how does it feel to return to the state that played a
central role in your own education from childhood
all the way through to your graduate years?
BOB KENNY: My Vermont roots, together with my family and
community bases, allowed me to feel condent that I could
make my way in the world. The foundation established here
allowed me to feel I was somebody of value and could do
important things if I worked hard, studied hard, lived by a
set of key values and chose well among the myriad of paths
one can take. It also taught me how to accept interruptions in
my lifes path and move on. These traits came to me in spite of,
or maybe because of, losing my parents when I was a child.
An important part of this inner development was that I never
felt tied to Vermont in a way that limited me from thinking of
myself as someone of the world. In fact I have lived for periods
of time in a number of other places, always returning home.
EG: What do you see as Goddards strengths, and do you
have ideas as to how we might make the most of them?
Rooted, But Not Root Bound
An Interview with Interim President Bob Kenny
BK: Goddard has so many strengths, no matter
which ones I identify, I am likely to leave some
out. I trust the reader will forgive me as I identify
a couple that come to mind. I consider the
community members commitment to Goddard
and their individual and collective capabilities
to be very valuable. I also consider the Goddard
model of student-centered learning based on
experience and passion and all that means in
terms of the important roles of faculty, students,
and staff in carrying out that model to be a great
strength. Finally, the culture of rigorous inquiry
leading to responsible action in the world is critical
to all Goddards activities and necessary, especially
now, to address the many challenges in our world.
EG: Goddard has a long history of being
innovative. How do you think we might
lead in this fast-changing environment?
BK: Here I respond with a caution: Goddards learning-
centered model continues to be unusual even if its long
history means it can no longer be considered innovative.
There is still tremendous value in the experience-based,
learner-centered systems we use at Goddard. As I see it, one
of Goddards challenges is to reinvigorate that model by
extending its reach to a greater number of people interested
in existing programs and to new student markets through
new programs and in new settings. It is important to stay
connected to our roots without being root bound.
EG: What would you like alumni to know
about the Goddard College of today?
BK: Goddard continues to hold to the foundations put in place
under Tim Pitkin and developed over the years, including
the years that they were present at Goddard. Many of the
pieces and parts may have changed, but the core
values of deep, inquiry-based learning emerging
from experience and passion are still here.
EG: During the last administration, we saw efforts to
connect more effectively to the local Vermont and
Washington communities. As we turn to developing
and nurturing our academic programs, how do you
see us proceeding in terms of our local relationships
in both Vermont and Washington?
BK: Our Vermont and Washington communities are incredibly
important to us. We have signicant effects on them, as they
do on us. I expect to continue and further nurture those
connections. When undertaking these activities we will
keep in the forefront of our efforts the critical, preeminent
importance of our academic mission and enrollment.
EG: What would you like Goddards extended community
to know about the immediate future of the College?
BK: The College is being challenged as enrollment has
declined over the recent past. To address this, the College
has had to reset its operations. There is still a ways to go
to get the two in balance, but there is light at the end of
the tunnel. Meanwhile, we are focusing our efforts toward
turning the corner on new student enrollment. We should see
that effort paying off with an upturn in new students in the
current year. Still, that will take a few years to work its way
into a turnaround in the total enrollment. With careful cost
management, we expect to be able to weather the storm.
EG: Where would you like to see the College in fve years?
BK: In ve years, perhaps before, I would like to see the
College returned to nancial vitality in a way that allows
us to think of expansion, versus stemming a decline. Along
with revitalizing existing programs I would really like
us to be able to roll out new programs. What Goddard
has to offer is both unique and important to the world,
especially given its current state and directions.
EG: How will you be working with the Board of Trustees?
BK: The current Board is small but lled with people who have
stayed the course and are here to help Goddard realize its
recovery and potential; I look forward to our work together.
As part of that work, we will be looking to repopulate the
Board and draw on the skills and energy the present members
possess, and the new ones will bring. The Board will be very
much a part of, and a resource to, the Goddard community.
EG: What has changed for you as a result of your new position?
BK: The position of president, at this particular time, has more
responsibility and a greater scope of work than at other times.
This scope would be difcult to sustain over a signicant
period of time. A number of people have left their positions
at Goddard; their work is either being done by others, placed
on hold, or being managed out of the presidents ofce.
All these situations have to be considered and addressed
to assure our work and the institution is sustainable.
I would like to see the College returned to
financial vitality in a way that allows us to think
of expansion, versus stemming a decline.
EG: How can Goddards extended community support
you in your efforts to see the College thrive?
BK: Yes, and thank you for asking. In keeping with the
focus on enrollment, and knowing that word-of-mouth is
cited most often as inuencing our prospective students,
an important thing for all of us to do is spread the word.
EG: As you transition back to campus, what
is one thing that makes you smile?
BK: I smile every time I walk up to Pratt and see the cut-tree
community workday piece meandering through the woods,
and the granite block bench on the side of the path. They both
remind me of our working together and being inventive.

WGDR Creates New Youth Programming
INDIE KINGDOM BEGINS
W
ith a $20,000
Innovations and
Collaborations Grant from
the Vermont Community
Foundation, WGDR has
created Indie Kingdom, an
expansion of its general
offerings of training in the
arts and sciences of radio
programming, now for
local youth.
Partnering schools
and organizations will
collaborate with WGDR to
design syllabi for area youth
to learn media literacy and
more. Trainers and teachers
will design curricula that
work like a menu, offering
schools a way to build
unique programmatic
outcomes that meet
state and common core
standards. Students will
gain support from WGDR
in producing compelling
audio reports, creative
communication skills, and
trainer/teacher collaboration
on production themes.
The big picture goal
is to develop a curricular
model that can be used and
implemented by college and
community radio stations
and their area schools
regionally and nationwide.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
T
rue Stories: Adventures
in Nonfction Audio
Storytelling, is a new
3-credit college course open
to high school students
in Northeastern Vermont.
The course is offered
through Goddard Colleges
Undergraduate Studies
Program in collaboration
with WGDR/WGDH.
It is designed for 15
to 18 highly motivated,
academically profcient
students from area high
schools looking for audio
story production experience
spanning an entire semester.
The program has its own
syllabus, overseen by a
Goddard faculty member,
with a particular study track.
True Stories grew out
of the creative auspices
of Registrar Josh Castle,
WGDR Director Kris Gruen,
UGP Faculty and Program
Coordinator Karen Werner,
and WGDR Training
Coordinator Jackie Batten.

Spark Big Pay-Off
T
his year has been a
banner year for WGDRs
fundraising efforts. Going
into its Spring Pledge Drive,
the station had raised six
times its usual numbers from
large donors responding to
new demands from its major
grantor, the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting, and
special projects.
With its usual carnival
of special programming,
WGDRs Spring Pledge
Drive themed Growing
Together signifcantly
surpassed its goal of
$18,000, with a fnal tally
of $26,500.
A profound thank you
from all of us at WGDR to
all of you who included
the radio station in your
annual charitable donations.
Localized media is one of
the best investments a

One Graduates Success Story with the
Department of Labor and Goddard College.
BY HILLARY MONTGOMERY (MA PSY 14)
M
ORE THAN A YEAR HAS PASSED since I went
through a personal transformation. Though I
had entered Goddards MA in Psychology and
Counseling program in the fall of 2010 with a plan to work
with adolescents and families, my professional choices
indicated otherwise. As I studied personality theory and
human development, I continued to work in non-prot
fundraising and felt like I was beating my head against the
proverbial wall, as I tried to instill as much passion in my
work as I did in my learning.
After nishing what would be my last fundraising job,
I was unemployed and, truthfully, terried. The process of
reinvention was laden with anxiety about money, identity and
condence. Week after week, I went through the motions of
applying to jobs I knew would pay the bills, but ultimately
leave me wanting more. While attending a workshop on job
search techniques, I learned that my program of study at
Goddard
might be
eligible for
support
from
a federal retraining program through Vermonts
Department of Labor (DOL). In order to qualify for any
funds that would offset my tuition, I had to be enrolled
in a program with an approved training provider.
As a progressive institution that prides itself on attracting
students who want to make a difference in the world through
their own self-knowledge, Goddard is quite unlike other
programs that train people for practical and quantiable skills
like construction or accounting. Seizing the opportunity to
lighten my debt load, I contacted Goddards registrar, Josh
Castle, and conferred with him to complete the paperwork
to add Goddard to the DOL roster of training providers.
I was matched with a caseworker who showed a
heartfelt interest in who I was and what I needed to start
over professionally. Soon after, I stepped back from the
bureaucratic process I had navigated to reect. In one sense,
the experience validated my education outside of the Goddard
model, and, in another, my learning became more salient.
I think this duality mirrors perfectly what Goddard
offers an individualized education that has traction
in any number of professions as long as the student
believes in the importance of their own learning.
When I was told that I would receive a $5,000 grant toward
my tuition, I was honored. I think I cried, too. With a stipend
from Goddard, I completed a 1,000-hour clinical internship and
was promptly offered a job working with adults, adolescents
and families in an outpatient substance abuse agency. When I
received my diploma at the end of March thanking my family,
friends, and the program faculty for supporting and challenging
me to grow every step of the way I bawled with gratitude.
Now, when I work with clients who want to go back
to school or need help assessing their skills and goals,
I encourage them to contact the Department of Labor.
Recently I saw my caseworker at a central Vermont
mainstay the Wayside. I hugged her and told her that
I was doing great and thriving in my new profession.

Act through the Vermont Department of Labor, which receives

Making Her Own Path
Dustin Byerly: Celeste, could you tell
us a little bit about your background?
Celeste Mergens: I was born in Pryor,
Oklahoma. My family hails from Sooners,
some of them Native American, and had
lived in Pryor for many generations. I
spent most of my life, however, on the
West Coast. I have six children, twelve
grandchildren, and have been married
to the love of my life for thirty-two years.
I originally went to Brigham Young
University for electrical engineering
from 198081. Following that I founded
the Whidbey Island Writers Association,
was the director of the Clay Foundation,
and Project Thrive from 20062011.
DB: How did you fnd Goddard?
CM: When I was working for the Clay
International Secondary School in Kenya,
Andrea Leebron-Clay (MFAW 06, MA
SBC 09) recommended that I apply to
Goddards MFA in Creative Writing
program. I took her advice, started at the
Vermont campus, and actually was part
of the group that helped to establish the
MFAW program in Port Townsend.
DB: What did you study at Goddard?
CM: My thesis was a biographical collection
of poetic short stories, which was designed
to convey a specic moment in time.
DB: What was your experience
at Goddard like?
Celeste A. Mergens (MFAW 06) of Lynden, Washington,
is the founder and executive director of Days for Girls
International, featured in the January 2014 issue of
O, The Oprah Magazine. The group aims to empower girls
around the world through sustainable feminine hygiene.

CM: It was transformative on so many different levels.
I found my studies at Goddard to be very personal. My
advisors were able to take part in my educational journey
while at the same time trusting me to nd and take my own
path. It was a truly phenomenal educational experience.
DB: In 2008, you founded Days for Girls
International. Could you tell us about it?
CM: Days for Girls International is a grassroots 501(c)(3)
non-prot dedicated to creating a more dignied, humane
and sustainable world for girls through advocacy,
reproductive health awareness and educational programs.
We help girls gain access to quality, sustainable feminine
hygiene through the direct distribution of sustainable
feminine hygiene kits, and by partnering with nonprots,
groups, and organizations, raising awareness, and helping
impoverished communities to start their own programs.
DB: What inspired you to establish Days for Girls?
CM: My work with the Clay School led me to an orphanage
in Kenya where I was involved in developing sustainable
solutions for their energy needs. During this time, Kenya
experienced a wave of ethnic violence that was triggered
by a disputed presidential election. As a result, the number
of children in the orphanage went from 400 to 1,400. The
children were going without food and we had used up
all of our resources. I went to sleep one night wishing
I could do more. I woke up in the middle of the night
wondering, what are the girls doing for feminine hygiene?
The answer was shocking: they dont do anything.
The young girls simply sit on a piece of cardboard in their
rooms and wait. The end result is that they are unable
to attend school, work, or leave the house for up to two
months per year. This issue is a surprising but instrumental
key to social change for women all over the world.
I decided that this was an area where I could make a
difference. We began to spread the word, collected donations,
and bought enough disposable pads for the 500 girls.
Although this solved the immediate problem, it was not a
sustainable solution. After some trial and error we decided
to design a DIY kit for making reusable pads. Three weeks
later we had made enough reusable pads for all of the girls.
DB: How has your Goddard education helped your work?
CM: I have a very strong belief, which is shared by
Goddard, that we should honor those that we serve,
and that wisdom comes in many forms. In order to
develop holistic programs that would nurture the
communities I was serving, I found myself using and
applyingto global sustainable developmentthe very
same techniques I learned in my MFAW program.
DB: How has Days for Girls grown since it started?
CM: We have reached over 100,000 women and girls in 75
countries on six continents, with over 280 teams and chapters
with thousands of volunteers all over the world making kits
and distributing them through nonprot organizations. We
also train people worldwide to make kits and to be leaders
through our Ambassador of Womens Health training.
DB: Is there a story about an individual or group that the
program has helped that is particularly meaningful to you?
CM: Often there is so much demand for kits that we do not have
enough to meet the need for a certain area. In these cases we
leave behind supplies and hope the members of the community
will follow through with the training and assemble them for
the girls. This happened in a small village in Zimbabwe. Six
months after leaving supplies, the team returned to follow up
and asked if the kits were made. To our surprise, they had been,
led by a 12-year-old girl named Kgotso from Bulawayo. She had
taught 200 girls how to make their own kits! When asked how
that felt, she said, Now I am no longer an orphan. I am a leader
of women. Hearing that was one of my favorite moments.
DB: Where do you see the future of the program?
CM: Our goal is every girl. Everywhere. Period. By 2022.
To do that, we need to be unafraid of a simple biological
process. We need not be ashamed. In so many cultures
around the world, menstruation is still hidden in stigma
and taboo; we have left millions of women in its wake.
This is truly one of the things that we can change.
There are a lot things that we cant, but I promise you,
there will be a day when we will say, once upon a time,
women didnt have what they needed and were ashamed
to talk about their periods. I am working for that day.
CW
Imagine What if not
having sanitary supplies
meant days without school,
days without income,
days without leaving the
house? Girls use leaves,
mattress stuffng, newspaper,
corn husks, rocks, anything they
can fnd ... but still miss up to two months of
school every year. It turns out this issue is a
surprising but instrumental key to social change
for women all over the world. The poverty
cycle can be broken when girls stay in school.
In so many cultures around the world, menstruation is still hidden in
stigma and taboo; we have left millions of women in its wake. CELESTE MERGENS

AN ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVE ON
LGBTQ Civil Rights
BY MERRY GANGEMI, WGDR PROGRAMMER
T
here is a surfeit of happiness and enthusiasm in many
LGBTQ communities over the progress of LGBT civil
rights, but the idea that all LGBT Americans are relieved
and inspired by a post-gay America should be tempered.
We have Glee, Modern Family, and Will & Grace; professional athletes
Jason Collins, Brittany Griner, and Orlando Cruz are out of the closet;
Ellen is an icon; and Barney Frank married Jim Ready. Changes have been
stunningly fast and seemingly well thought-out in the new discourse
of tolerance articulated by politicians and policymakers of all stripes.
Dr. Herukhuti Williams, a clinical sociologist and cultural studies
scholar who teaches in Goddards Individualized Bachelor of Arts
program, has a sobering perspective. I asked Dr. Williams if race
was a point of engagement and solidarity amongst LGBT people.
Being LGBTQ does not make anyone immune to the racialization
that all of us receive in societies societies founded upon and driven
by white supremacy, he wrote. Middle-class and wealthy European/
European-American LGBTQ folks, a group with few notable exceptions,
have worked in solidarity to gain access to the benets of white
supremacy. He adds that you need only to look at the leaders of the
top ve LGBT organizations in the United States to understand
the nature of racial solidarity within the LGBTQ context.
Poverty rates play a pivotal role too. African-American children
in gay male households have the highest poverty rate (52 percent)
of any children in any household type, he writes. Statistics bear
out the inevitable results of this injustice and are more disturbing
for transgendered individuals, who have an unemployment rate of
26 percent, with more than a third having lost a job due to bias.
Nearly 45 years since the Stonewall Riots,
which many people identify as the genesis of
the modern LGBTQ liberation movement,
Dr. Williams writes, what do those statistics
tell you about the racial and class solidarity
among LGBTQ activists, organizers and leaders?
The answers, fortunately or not, are within
ourselves, and LGBTQ Goddard students and
alumni contribute to the river of positive change.
Imogen Holding Binnie (MA PSY 15), author
of Nevada, a novel about the daily struggle of being
transgendered in New York, and award-winning
playwright and author Charles Rice-Gonzalez
(MFAW 08) both recently received the Dr. Betty
Berzon Emerging Writer Award from the Lambda
Literary Foundation. The foundation also awarded
Justin Hall (MFAW 15) best LGBT Anthology in 2012
for his No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics.
James Dewitt (BA HAS 14) teaches youth
workshops on self-care and conict mediation at
Queer Rock Camp in Olympia, Wash., and Gunner
Scott (IBA 09) led the legislative campaign in
Massachusetts for the Transgender Equal Rights
bill, which passed in 2011, protecting transgender
youth, adults, and families from discrimination.
All these accomplishments are essential
to the ongoing struggle for sustained and
deeply integrated equal rights.

On the Rise
New American Fellow Brings Silenced Narratives into Discourse
T
wo-time Goddard
graduate Mike
Alvarez (IMA 10,
MFAW 13) was recently
awarded the prestigious Paul
& Daisy Soros Fellowship
for New Americans. The
fellowship honors and
supports young New
Americans immigrants and
children of immigrants to
use their graduate training
in this country to make
distinctive contributions
to American life.
Mike will receive up to
$90,000 in tuition support
and maintenance grants
over the course of two
years for his PhD study in
communications at the
University of Massachusetts-
Amherst, where he
is currently enrolled.
Mike is examining the
representation of suicide
in flm and the effects of
digital technologies on
suicide (e.g., the emergence
of online suicide pacts and
live streaming of suicides
over the Internet).
My research on death, trauma, and
suicide are driven in no small part
by my own encounters with loss.

Suicide is such a taboo
subject, says Mike, and
to be selected as one
of thirty Fellows, in a
national competition that
drew in more than 1,200
applicants, is to me a
meaningful validation of
the urgency of my work.
Mike was born in the
Philippines and immigrated
to the United States with
his family when he was
ten years old. He grew up
in a rough neighborhood
in Jersey City and then
attended Rutgers University,
where he suffered from
debilitating anxiety and
suicidal depression. In his
recovery, he wrote his senior
thesis on the relationship
between creativity and
suicide, which won the
Charles Flaherty Award.
My research on death,
trauma, and suicide are
driven in no small part
by my own encounters
with loss, Mike says.
His current book, A Violin
in the Void: The Paradox
of Suicide & Creativity, is a
humanistic exploration of
the relationship between
suicide and creativity, as
seen through the lives of
Kurt Cobain, Iris Chang,
Alan Turing, and other
eminently creative
individuals. It is a
synthesis of his BA
thesis at Rutgers, his
IMA thesis at Goddard,
and his new writing.
Mike recently signed
with Jennifer Chen Tran
at Penumbra Literary.
Goddard made me
realize how much I love
reading stories, how
much I love writing
stories, and that the
stories I read and write
are all connected in
this magical, ineffable
way, he says.
Recognizing the
power of personal
narratives and
building on his MFAW
thesis, Mike has also
completed a memoir
about his journey
through mental illness.
By articulating
these scars, he
says, Im bringing
silenced narratives
into discourse, which
can be empowering
to others. His advice
to Goddard students
and other alums:
Keep on keeping on,
as he tells us one of his
advisors used to say.
Ive had my fair share of
rejectionsan abundance,
actuallywhen applying
for fellowships, querying
agents, submitting grant
proposals, etc., and it is only
reasonable to expect more
in the future, Mike says.
But never, ever despair to
the point of surrender.
