Gibson is a self-proclaimed American history painter whose works are on view in the exhibition Mark Thomas Gibson: We Are A Constellation.Dunkerley Dialogues pair Skidmore professors with artists in a conversation format, which is often a catalyst for new connections and understandings across disciplines, and can spark new ideas for all participants. Dunkerley Dialogues are made possible by a generous gift from Michele Dunkerley ’80.   This event is free and open to the public. About the SpeakersMark Thomas Gibson draws from an eclectic range of sources and inspirations, including comic books, caricatures, historical paintings, and the work of Philip Guston, Robert Colescott, Kara Walker, and Honoré-Victorin Daumier. In his work, Gibson attempts to stir our emotions and reinforce our connections to past events so that we will not forget them, or lose sight of them in the waves of new headlines. He received his BFA from Cooper Union in 2002 and his MFA from Yale School of Art in 2013. He is currently an Assistant Professor Art &amp; Design at Rutgers University. A reoccurring character in several of his works is the Town Crier, a figure who rings a bell and shouts out important announcements to his fellow citizens. Gibson began the series in 2021 as a daily ritual for processing the news and events of the day. What began as a personal reflection has become a historical archive shared regularly to Gibson’s Instagram.Jennifer Delton is the Harriet Johnson Toadvine ’56 Chair in 20th-Century History at Skidmore College. She holds a PhD in History from Princeton University and teaches courses in US history from the Civil War to the present. Her work focuses on race and ethnicity, civil rights, politics, and business in twentieth-century America. She is the author of four books, including, most recently, The Industrialists: How the National Association of Manufacturers Shaped American Capitalism (2020). Her current book project is American Utopia: A Father’s Secret, a Daughter’s Search for Answers, and the Hidden History of Boys Town, USA.]]></description><author>selfeldt@skidmore.edu</author><category>Artist Talk</category><pubDate>Thu, 12 Nov 2026 23:00:00 GMT</pubDate><link>http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J7TateD6MOdMkaXd%2fKMwqXDntm%2fAEqm2Ass0C1GXWMbrrCITLOagOuw</link><guid>http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J7TateD6MOdMkaXd%2fKMwqXDntm%2fAEqm2Ass0C1GXWMbrrCITLOagOuw</guid><enclosure url="http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/imagewriter.aspx?imageId=5491" length="5000" type="image/jpeg" /></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tang Guide Tours 11/15/2026 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM]]></title><description xml:space="preserve"><![CDATA[ 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM - Tang Teaching Museum Tang Teaching Museum: Join us Sunday, September 6, at 2 pm, for a tour of the Museum and current exhibitions.

The film is the result of 21 years of documenting the life of Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie who is “dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis including the Chief Rabbis of Israel.” The film demonstrates how Lau-Lavie is “torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny and becomes a drag-queen rebel, a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul—an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation.” The film traces Lau-Lavie’s life across both Israel and the United States to highlight the differing cultural, political, and religious contexts that shape Jewish identity in these two locations. This presentation is part of the Jacob Perlow Series sponsored by the Office of Special Programs and co-sponsored by MDOCS, Religious Studies, and Jewish Student Life. ]]></description><author>cmerrill@skidmore.edu</author><category>Discussion</category><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><link>http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J5SkzpMKgePYjzZ8lItWrAbWsRiibY7uzt9sIm6ye%2bH6pLPSkw631gT</link><guid>http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J5SkzpMKgePYjzZ8lItWrAbWsRiibY7uzt9sIm6ye%2bH6pLPSkw631gT</guid><enclosure url="http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/imagewriter.aspx?imageId=5456" length="5000" type="image/jpg" /></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sabbath Queen film screening and discussion with Sandi DuBowski 11/16/2026 9:15 PM to 10:00 PM]]></title><description xml:space="preserve"><![CDATA[ 9:15 PM to 10:00 PM - Palamountain Hall Gannett Lobby]]></description><author>cmerrill@skidmore.edu</author><category>Discussion</category><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2026 02:15:00 GMT</pubDate><link>http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J5SkzpMKgePYjzZ8lItWrAbai1iCISyRzLUAMWGVdS1FkVJPjsn%2bY5R</link><guid>http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J5SkzpMKgePYjzZ8lItWrAbai1iCISyRzLUAMWGVdS1FkVJPjsn%2bY5R</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[EAC 11/17/2026 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM]]></title><description xml:space="preserve"><![CDATA[ 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM - Ladd Hall Ladd 106]]></description><author>acartiera@skidmore.edu</author><category>(None)</category><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2026 22:00:00 GMT</pubDate><link>http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J4UhuuO6NMWMUe5FyxTZs%2bfoLf%2bqoEPaIfbA3y6COJQoAN%2b8H5KLOER</link><guid>http://calendar.skidmore.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J4UhuuO6NMWMUe5FyxTZs%2bfoLf%2bqoEPaIfbA3y6COJQoAN%2b8H5KLOER</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tang Guide Tours 11/22/2026 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM]]></title><description xml:space="preserve"><![CDATA[ 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM - Tang Teaching Museum Tang Teaching Museum: Join us Sunday, September 6, at 2 pm, for a tour of the Museum and current exhibitions.
