SUMMARY:Confronting Difficult Histories in Museums\, Archives\, and Historic Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, conversations reignited around appropriate presentations of\nso-called “difficult” histories like white supremacy\, colonization\, and other\nracial injustices\, and how those histories challenge long-standing\, narrow\,\nor often inaccurate interpretations. This session dives into how museums\nand other memory spaces can and must acknowledge and host those\ndifficult conversations and the important histories they can teach. It\nchallenges the idea of them as “difficult” and asks guests to explore why\nwe value some interpretations over others. \nGeorge Garner (he/him) earned his M.A. in Museum Studies from the\nCooperstown Graduate Program where he gained experience in museum\nadministration\, exhibitions\, and collections care at such well-known\ninstitutions as the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and the\nChesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. He has dedicated his career to\nexploring how museums and memory spaces can help people make\nmeaning from traumatic histories and use history to work actively toward\nchange today. Since 2012\, he has served the Indiana University South\nBend Civil Rights Heritage Center\, a space that\, for thirty years\, operated\nas a segregated city-owned swimming pool.

SUMMARY:It's Me. I'm the Problem: The Role of Personal Reflection in Antiracism Work
DESCRIPTION:In our pursuit of racial equity\, we tend to prioritize white benevolence\ntowards non-white communities reinforcing existing power structures and\nfailing to challenge harmful societal norms. Achieving true equity requires\nrecognizing that our current ideas of “normal” are harmful and learning\nhow these beliefs shape all aspects of our society. We can combat this by\nengaging in personal reflection\, challenging both internal and external\nfalse beliefs\, centering marginalized voices\, and committing ourselves to\ndiscover a new way forward. This presentation emphasizes the importance\nof personal reflection in our equity efforts. \nCharla Cannon Yearwood (she/her) is a licensed clinical social worker\ncommitted to anti-racism in mental health. She is the Founder & CEO of\nConnected in Community\, an Indy-based therapy practice focused on\nproviding inclusive mental healthcare. Charla also co-developed and\nfacilitates a Racial Justice and Liberatory Practice continuing education\nseries at Columbia University. Outside work\, Charla and her family of two\nkids\, a dog\, and a cat enjoy all things Disney. \n  \nThis is a collaboration with the Indiana Disproportionality Committee\, IUPUI Office of Community Engagement\, DJ Center for Youth\, Inc. Youth Health Summit\, Minority Health Partners\, Office of Minority Health\, and Office of the Vice-Chancellor Division of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion.

SUMMARY:Southern Indiana Reading Series
DESCRIPTION:On November 11th\, at 6PM CST we will be hosting two critically acclaimed authors: poet\, Phillip B. Williams and novelist\, Jessamine Chan. Each will read from their new books\, after which there will be a Q&A session. \nThe poems in Williams’ second collection\, Mutiny\, “rebuke classical mythos and western canonical figures\, and embrace Afro-Diasporan folk and spiritual imagery… Phillip B. Williams conjures the hell of being erased\, exploited\, and ill-imagined and then\, through a force and generosity of vision\, propels himself into life\, selfhood\, and a path forward.” \nOf The School for Good Mothers\, Leni Zumas\, writes: “This taut\, explosive novel is all the more terrifying because it edges so close to reality. With the story of one woman struggling to get her daughter back\, Jessamine Chan spotlights the punishing scrutiny and judgment aimed at mothers everywhere—especially those who aren’t wealthy or white. Frida’s predicament embodies the fraught question so many women are taught to ask: Am I good enough?” \nJessamine Chan \nJessamine ChanJessamine Chan’s short stories have appeared in Tin House and Epoch. A former reviews editor at Publishers Weekly\, she holds an MFA from Columbia University’s School of the Arts and a BA from Brown University. Her work has received support from the Elizabeth George Foundation\, the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference\, the Wurlitzer Foundation\, the Jentel Foundation\, the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center\, the Anderson Center\, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts\, and the Ragdale Foundation. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband and daughter. \nPhillip B. Williams \nPhillip B. Williams was born in Chicago\, Illinois and earned his MFA from Washington University\, where he was a Chancellor’s Graduate fellow.

SUMMARY:IUN Sustainability Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Scott Hess and the Office of Sustainability\, in collaboration with IU Northwest’s Climate Season\, to explore topics related to sustainability\, climate resilience\, environmental justice\, and conservation. \nHow do the ways we imagine climate change—in terms of our cultural identities and values\, the kinds of stories we engage\, and the images we view—influence how we understand and respond to the issue? \nThis talk will engage with how we imagine (and represent) climate change and why it matters\, including various forms of public discourse as well as literature\, film\, and the visual arts. It will explore how people with different cultural identities—including different political affiliations\, educational backgrounds\, races\, and socioeconomic situations—tend to respond to climate change differently; how those differences have polarized us; and what we can do to envision and address the problem more effectively together. \nThis is a virtual event.

SUMMARY:Beyond Land Acknowledgements: Reframing Narratives and Creating Actual Inclusivity in Outdoor Education
DESCRIPTION:Bloomington Parks is inviting you to a virtual educational workshop supported by the Unearthed Speakers Bureau. \nTopic: Beyond Land Acknowledgements: Reframing Narratives and Creating Actual Inclusivity in Outdoor Education \nPresenter: Autumn Brunelle\, Naturalist for the Monroe County Parks and Recreation Department.Format: 45-minute interactive presentation with Q&A (1 hour total) \n“Long ago\, Native Americans used this land for hunting and gathering.” This seemingly harmless sentence can be found in almost every park\, environmental class\, and outdoor program. Contrary to this common teaching\, Native Americans are very much present and involved with the natural world in more ways than “hunting and gathering.” In this talk\, we will address Native American representation in the outdoors\, learn how to re-frame the narratives surrounding Native peoples\, and discuss why “Land Acknowledgments” may fail Indigenous audiences. \nhttps://bloomington.zoom.us/j/93100967904?pwd=dk1oQURwMXpGWXYraVphZEIrQjBvQT09Meeting ID: 931 0096 7904Passcode: Parks \nOne tap mobile+13017158592\,\,93100967904# US (Washington DC)+13126266799\,\,93100967904# US (Chicago)Dial by your location+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)+1 929 205 6099 US (New York)+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)Meeting ID: 931 0096 7904Find your local number: https://bloomington.zoom.us/u/acTDqxx0xQ \n

SUMMARY:This Road: A Poetic Search for Home\, with Adam Henze
DESCRIPTION:Haiku master Matsuo Bashō once wrote\, “Every day is a journey\, and the journey itself is home.” Since the birth of the written word\, poets have crafted personal stories that complicate our understanding of what it means to be home. In this hour-long presentation\, performer and scholar Dr. Adam Henze shares poems about big cities\, small towns\, and the search for home on the roads between them. Adam will read influential works about the hospitals\, schools\, churches\, and prisons in our communities\, weaving in his own original poems and stories about his journeys throughout the state of Indiana. Poetry is an engaging way to explore how issues impact us as people\, making this an ideal presentation for teenagers and adults to consider the topics that connect and divide us as urban and rural communities.

SUMMARY:Hoosier Folk: When City Dwellers Discovered Rural Brown County
DESCRIPTION:In the early 20th century\, Midwestern elites envisioned Brown County as a place where Hoosier folk culture remained “untarnished by the march of time.” City dwellers came to see its rustic beauty and meet the rural “natives” who lived in log cabins\, played traditional music\, and made handicrafts. In\nthe midst of rapid urbanization and industrialization\, people all over the world searched for a lost “authentic” heritage; in Indiana\, it was Brown County that was believed to be the place where Hoosier folk culture continued. What happened in Brown County reveals a larger story about how perceptions of urban and rural emerged\, namely that cities hold our collective future\, while rural communities are\ntrapped in the past. In his talk\, Jon shares this little-known history and what this particular Indiana\nstory can teach us about the ways we think and talk about “urban” and “rural” today. \nJon directs Traditional Arts Indiana at Indiana University\, where he also serves as a clinical associate professor in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. He is the author of Folk Art and Aging: Life-Story Objects and Their Makers and the edited volume The Expressive Lives of Elders: Folklore\, Art\, and Aging. He also creates exhibitions\, hosts public programs\, and produces documentary videos about Indiana’s traditional arts. Jon grew up in Brown County and has spent his life researching the folk history of this rural community. \nThis presentation will be virtual.\nhttps://zoom.us/join\nMeeting ID: 872 5743 4796\nPasscode: 061021
