Eleven members of St. Bonaventure’s History Club visited two Buffalo Museums on March 16. Students spent several hours at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site Museum, exploring the location where the twenty sixth president was inaugurated following the assassination of President McKinley. They enjoyed exploring the home and engaging with the displays and artifacts discussing the Pan-American Exposition, Roosevelt’s inauguration, and the issues he faced after unexpectedly taking office. This included viewing historical stereographs through a stereoscope that turns a pair of separate images into a single three-dimensional image (see images below). Some students (and even Dr. Henning) took turns sitting behind TR’s desk to veto or approve legislation (above). The Club rounded out their day by visiting the Buffalo Harbor Museum and learning about the creation of the Erie Channel and other components of Buffalo’s Maritime History.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y.,
Feb. 13, 2024 — The Jandoli Institute at St.
Bonaventure University has launched a second round of its Hybrid Journalism Project in which
professors from different disciplines will partner with faculty from the Jandoli
School of Communication to
develop and produce news stories.
“The
initial project in 2022 accomplished what we set out to do,” Jandoli Institute
Executive Director Richard Lee said. “The faculty teams produced stories that
were informative and engaging, and they learned about each other’s
disciplines.”
Seven
faculty teams are collaborating on stories for Round 2 of the project. Their
stories will be published on the Jandoli Institute’s website, jandoli.net.
“Each
team will work in partnership to shape the ideas and concepts from the
different disciplines into well-researched, well-reported and well-written
journalism,” Lee said.
The
hybrid teams and their projects are:
“This
project is a perfect example of faculty innovation and collaboration,” said
Aaron Chimbel, dean of the Jandoli School. “I am thankful for Dr. Lee’s leadership
in making the Jandoli Institute a dynamic place for creative approaches to
tackle important issues.”
The
institute’s hybrid journalism project is funded by a grant from the Leo E.
Keenan Jr. Faculty Development Endowment at St. Bonaventure.
Stories
from Round 1 of the project are posted on the Jandoli Institute website,
along with a video of a roundtable discussion among the faculty participants.
The
Jandoli Institute, part of the Jandoli School of Communication, serves as
a forum for academic research, creative ideas and discussion on the
intersection between media and democracy.

This paper examines examples of lies performed by gods in the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite and the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, and demonstrates how these false assertions illustrate each god’s power and essential nature. This analysis uses speech act theory and theories of lying to demonstrate that not all lies are speech acts that have deception as the primary objective. Rather, both Hermes and Aphrodite have goals beyond deception when they make false assertions. The lies uttered by Hermes and Aphrodite demonstrate how divine lies in the Homeric Hymns exert a perlocutionary force beyond deception and highlight the praiseworthy aspects of each god.
Every election, we hear that this election is the most important one in our lives. Is it? It could be? How do we think about this? How do we process all the noise and chatter to get a deeper understanding of our political process?
Next fall, we are offering a team-taught class interdisciplinary class focusing on democracy and the 2024 election. It is a collaboration between the College of Arts and Sciences and the Jandoli School of Communications. Details will be forthcoming, but if you are interested in democracy and politics, this will be a great class to examine our election from a variety of perspectives.
The following faculty are participating.
College of Arts and Science:
History - Phillip Payne
Political Science - Mary Rose Kubal
Sociology - Benjamin Gross
Jandoli School of Communications:
Journalism and Strategic Communication - Pauline Hoffmann
