Lectures on Tap: Loyalists, Flounder Brewing
Flounder Brewing, 2 Clerico Lane, Hillsborough Township, NJ, The Loyalists: Those in the American Revolution Who Wanted a King. Many people think slavery only existed in the American South and that all those in the British colonies during the Revolution were Patriots. Not so. New Jersey residents were bitterly divided during what became a nasty civil war. The third or more of probable Loyalists can be divided into those who were active picking up arms, irreconcilably opposed to Independence who became exiles, those who remained during the war, and then those who left and later returned. Their reasons had to do with location, political ideas, religion, family ties, experiences. Local examples will be given. Hopefully this will provide perspective for discussion about then and on our own divided times. Maxine N. Lurie is a retired professor of history from Seton Hall University, who has concentrated on early American History and the history of New Jersey.

Pratima: Singularity and Beyond, ACP
Our Winter 2026 Artist-in-Residence Nisha Pradeep’s residency will culminate in a live performance, bridging ancient tradition and futuristic inquiry through the accessible and emotive language of dance. A guided discussion with the audience will follow. This dance contrasts humanity’s organic, multi-millennial evolution with the rapid, exponential growth of synthetic intelligence. Through expressive storytelling (Abhinaya) and intricate rhythmic structures, the work investigates the philosophical threshold known as the Singularity — the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human capability — and the emergence of superintelligence. At its core, the project asks a timely and essential question: what does it mean to be human in an era of sentient machines?
