Native American Resources & University Libraries

November is Indigenous Peoples Month in the United States. In respect to this observance, responsible scholarship produced over the last century related to the historical legacy and enduring importance of Native American culture has given the world documented information on this important and inspirational group of people. Regardless of the individual tribe, the contributions made by all of the Native American Nations provides a story of pride and perseverance for the ages.

The University Libraries contains a large number of Native American-centered resources within its Main Collection. A starter list of book titles can be found via this Link.

On a local level, the Lenni Lenape people of the larger Delaware Tribe were the original human settlers in what would become New Jersey.

Within the annals of Seton Hall University History, a former faculty member, Dr. Herbert Kraft devoted his life to the study of Lenni Lenape history, culture, and customs.

University Libraries Podcast: “Medievalisms In A Global Age,” With Angela Weisl, Ph.D. and Rachael Warmington, M.A.

We are happy to announce the latest installment of the University Libraries podcast series entitled: Zet Forward. This podcast entitled: “Medievalisms In A Global Age,” with guest scholars, Co-Editor Angela Weisl, Ph.D. and key contributor Rachael Warmington, M.A.

This broadcast features Professor and Chair of the Department of English, Dr. Angela Weisl, who has an extensive knowledge not only of Medieval Literature, but also Women and Literature, Chaucer, and the History of Language among other related interests.

Author, Professor Rachael Warmington currently serves as Head of the Digital Humanities Faculty Learning Community which is part of the Center for Faculty Development on campus who has also taught specialty courses including: “Great Books of the Western World,” “Business Writing,” and “Writing Workshop: Research and Analysis” among others.

Their collaboration yielded a full-length edited work that connects various expert perspectives into one well-developed volume. As their publisher noted that the content found within this book:

“Discusses contemporary medievalism in studies ranging from Brazil to West Africa, from Manila to New York. Across the world, revivals of medieval practices, images, and tales flourish as never before. The essays collected here, informed by approaches from Global Studies and the critical discourse on the concept of a “Global Middle Ages”, explore the many facets of contemporary medievalism: post-colonial responses to the enforced dissemination of Western medievalisms, attempts to retrieve pre-modern cultural traditions that were interrupted by colonialism, the tentative forging of a global ‘medieval’ imaginary from the world’s repository of magical tales and figures, and the deployment across borders of medieval imagery for political purposes.”

You can find this podcast at: Podcast @ Seton Hall University.

Further details connected to this work can be found via the Boydell & Brewer Publications House Homepage. A physical volume of Medievalisms In A Global Age (Cambridge, England: Boydell & Brewer, 2024) is ready for circulation and can be found within the Main Collection of the University Libraries, specifically within the Faculty Publications section located on the Second Floor of Walsh Library.

Zet Forward is a podcast to celebrate authors and other individuals who are involved with projects for the benefit of Seton Hall University and the wider world.  The series began in February of 2022.

Self–Care Awareness Month & University Libraries

September has been designated as a month where we are encouraged to pause and take time for ourselves, but this is a message that remains strong throughout the entire year.

According to the World Health Organization: “Self-care is the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability . . . Self-care recognizes individuals as active agents in managing their own health care, in areas including health promotion; disease prevention and control; self-medication; providing care to dependent persons, and rehabilitation, including palliative care.” We are glad to offer our University Community various information resources on a wide range of health care issues via this exhibit and within our research collection.

Located on the second floor of Walsh Library this exhibit will provide a helpful gateway to print and electronic resources related to self-care in all its varied and important forms.

  • This is a collaborative effort including Professor Julianna Murray, Assistant Dean Lisa DeLuca, and Professor David Frank.
