SUMMARY:Smithsonian Water/Ways Exhibit - Miami-Globe
DESCRIPTION:Read more about Miami-Globe on the Water/Ways website. \nDates: September 22 – November 4\, 2018 \nAddress: 150 N Plaza Circle\, Miami\, Arizona 85539-1629 \nExhibit hours: Thursdays-Saturdays: 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.\, Sundays: 12:00 – 3:00 p.m. \nThe mission of Bullion Plaza is “dedicated to preserving and presenting the culturally diverse history\, the human experience\, as well as exploring the natural environment unique to the Globe-Miami region of Arizona.” The building was known as the Bullion Plaza School in Gila County and is on the National Register of Historic Places. \nMiami is located in east-central Arizona\, and it is closely tied with the nearby City of Globe. The “twin” municipalities share a newspaper\, a chamber of commerce\, and a common cultural identity. Although the mining operations that support the economy depend on large amounts of water\, there are no rivers or lakes in the area. The Gila River flows about 30 miles to the south through Winkelman. The Salt River and Roosevelt Lake\, a large reservoir created by Roosevelt Dam\, lie north of the communities. Miami and Globe rely for their own water supply on deep wells that tap into groundwater from the Cutter Basin. The Tonto National Forest surrounds the area on three sides. U.S. Highway 60 connects the towns\, which are about four miles apart. \nWater/Ways is sponsored by the Salt River Project\, Nestlé Waters North America\, the American Slavic Association\, and Chaos RX Optics.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now  - Chandler
DESCRIPTION:Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now \nMatt Kundert\, University of Arizona\, Department of English \nCurrent social controversies reflect our nation’s complex history\, politics and values. Our views can differ sharply on whether or not America has changed for the better\, or for the worse. We can point to specific cultural and technological developments that have made it difficult to feel part of one country.  Media can shape our sense of inclusion and exclusion\, what is true and false\, what connects us and divides us. But democracy is based on hope\, the hope that we might solve our problems by talking to each other.  How should we approach each other today?  How do we balance respect for the people around us\, and our common humanity\, against suspicion and fear in the face of ideological differences?  How do we keep the conversation going about difficult political and social events? How can we listen to\, and learn from\, experiences and opinions different from our own?  Join us for a FRANK Talk exploring the skills and attitudes of citizenship and conversability.

SUMMARY:Arizona: Land of the Water Haves and Water Have-nots - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 6 \n6:00 – 8:00 p.m. \nArizona Humanities \n1242 N. Central Avenue – Phoenix\, AZ 85004 \nArizona: Land of the Water Haves and Water Have-nots \n“Water certainty\,” that is\, a resilient\, long-term water supply\, is crucial to our prosperity and quality of life. Yet\, some communities in the state lack water certainty. These communities may be extra vulnerable to shortages. They may lack access to water for basic needs. And they have little control over the stewardship of their water resources. Sarah Porter from the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy will discuss the underpinnings of water uncertainty and policy reforms to address the problem. \nSarah Porter is the inaugural director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy. Established in 2014\, the Kyl Center promotes research\, analysis\, collaboration and open dialogue to build consensus in support of sound water stewardship solutions for Arizona and the West. Sarah also serves as deputy director of Future H2O\, an initiative to focus ASU’s water expertise on solving current world water challenges\, local and global. \nSarah came to the Kyl Center from the National Audubon Society\, where she served as the Arizona state director and led Audubon’s Western Rivers Project\, a multistate initiative to protect and restore important river habitats in the Intermountain West. As deputy director of Audubon Arizona\, Sarah was a key team member in the effort to launch the Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Audubon Center\, a nature education center located in a restored riparian habitat in South Phoenix. \nFree Event!

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Is Incarceration the Best Approach to Address Criminal Behavior? - Chandler
DESCRIPTION:Is Incarceration the Best Approach to Address Criminal Behavior? \nJulian Kunnie\, University of Arizona\, Religious Studies/Classics/Africana Studies/Indigenous/Globalization Studies \nIn 2017\, 47\,604 people were either incarcerated or under some form of criminal justice supervision in the state of Arizona\, with 119 adults/54 minors on death row\,  and 2\,485 veterans serving prison time. The U.S. represents 5% of the world’s population\, yet holds 25% of the world’s prisoners.  We incarcerate people for non-violent and substance abuse-related crimes.  Private-for-profit prisons in Arizona and the country are a lucrative industry\, viewed by some as contributing to the rise in incarceration.  What economic\, political and social factors play a role in today’s mass incarceration?  Do poverty\, race and class contribute to the disproportionate imprisonment of the poor and people of color? Does incarceration rehabilitate people who are incarcerated? Is imprisonment the best solution to address criminal behavior?  Join us for this FRANK Talk on the impact of mass incarceration.

DESCRIPTION:Weaponized Narrative: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace\nDr. Braden Allenby\, Arizona State University\, President’s Professor of Civil\, Environmental\, and Sustainable Engineering\, and Lincoln Professor of Engineering and Ethics \nWeaponized narrative is the latest evolution in information warfare\, focusing specifically on the role of new media in shaping opinion. Weaponized narratives attack the shared beliefs and values of a person or society\, and undercut culture and resiliency.  Adversaries use tactics such as deceptive information to attack identity\, manipulate narratives/stories\, and create emotional and psychological damage.  What are the effects on our psychology and behavior?  How do we begin to understand the role of information warfare in social media\, news\, and marketing? Can weaponized narratives cause social polarization?  Join us for this timely FRANK Talk to discuss the impact of information warfare on public opinion\, civic engagement   and democracy.

SUMMARY:AZ H20 + Art - Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:AZ H20 + Art with Jim Ballinger\nTuesday\, April 24 – 6:30-8:00 p.m.\nTaliesin West \n12621 N Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd\, Scottsdale\, AZ 85259\nHoover Dam is an iconic marvel of American engineering. Created to manage the floodwaters of the Colorado River\, the dam continues to affect Arizonans’ lives daily. But the Hoover dam is rarely thought of as a significant work of art. Since artists first visited our region\, water has been a subject for their work\, ranging from rivers and lakes to dams\, agriculture and recreation. This program will explore works of art created over the past 150 years\, and invite participants to discuss the various ways water is systemic to life in the Arizona deserts\, mountains and the Colorado Plateau. In collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. \nShare on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/414389462346387/ \nMore info and registration: http://franklloydwright.org/event/taliesin-next-az-h20-art/

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Chandler-Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:“Fake News”: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World\nJamie Bowen\, Arizona State University\, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication \nAlthough not new\, our awareness and use of the term “fake news” has risen in prominence. In general\, “fake news” is media that consists of deliberate misinformation\, news whose main purpose is to distort “the truth for emotional persuasion\, seeking to drive action.”  More recently it has become a catchall term used to discredit stories\, and in the political arena to influence the political process and elections.  With social media\, fake news can reach a large audience with little cost.  How can we tell what is fake news and what is real news? What is the impact of “fake news”?  How does “fake news” affect public opinion and civic engagement? How do we balance the benefits of free speech against the burden of propaganda? Join us for a lively FRANK Talk about “fake news\,” free speech and journalism today.
