"Weird and Superstitious: Horrific Cinema and the Construction of American National Identity."
Kendall Phillips, Professor of Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University.
Cinema became part of the American popular culture during the latter half of the nineteenth century. During the same period, Americans were struggling with the shape and texture of their culture. This talk will mainly focus on the place of superstition and spiritual beliefs in the development of American cinema and national identity.
Conversations in Conflict Studies is a weekly educational speaker series for students, faculty, and the community. The series, sponsored by PARCC, draws its speakers from Syracuse University faculty, national and international scholars and activists, and PhD students. Pizza is served.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
