'Guide to Getting it On' author discusses keys to intimacy

By Sarah Frostenson | February 11, 2009

Jared Bookman / The Dartmouth Staff From the looks of it, Paul Joannides just might be giving Marvin Gaye a run for his money when it comes to expertise in "getting it on." Though his voice might not have ladies swooning, Joannides, who is best known as the author of the popular sex book "The Guide to Getting It On," is no amateur when it comes to smooth moves and pillow talk. Joannides, this year's SexDay lecturer, spoke to students about "positive sexuality" Tuesday afternoon, before participating in the seventh annual SexFestival, an informational forum that provides students with information about intimacy (and edible personal lubricant for kicks). A research psychoanalyst and an editorial board member of the American Journal of Sexuality Education, Joannides has earned a reputation as one of today's most popular, knowledgeable and approachable authors on sex.

Hood exhibit examines cultural identity with photography

By Alicia Kim | February 10, 2009

Zachary Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Staff American photographer Eudora Welty once said that a good photograph stops a moment from "running away." The 45 photographs now on display in the "Focus on Photography: Works from 1950 to Today" exhibition at the Hood Museum of Art more than meet that standard, giving viewers a cross-sectional look at events and people from the past 60 years. The Hood has amassed 2,000 photographs and photo-based works over the last decade for use in its permanent collection. In anticipation of a major survey exhibition opening in September 2009, "Modern and Contemporary Art at Dartmouth," curator Emily Burke said she decided to put together a sampling of post-1950 photography to offer insight into the diversity, as well as the commonalities, of contemporary photography. "What [Burke] has done with this exhibition is brilliant," said photographer Subhankar Banerjee, the current artist-in-residence at the Hopkins Center.
