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.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace - Chandler
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:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Sun City
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.

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/

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.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now - Gilbert
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:FRANK Talks: Immigrants and the American Dream - Anthem
DESCRIPTION:Immigrants and the American Dream: We the People Today and Tomorrow\nDr. T.J. Davis\, Arizona State University\, School of Historical\, Philosophical and Religious Studies \nThe United States of America has long touted itself as the land of immigrants\, and is demographically more diverse than at any time in our nation’s history. Yet the source and substance of immigration have been topics of continuous debate. How do domestic conditions\, regional competition\, geopolitics\, and foreign policy affect immigration today? Who can become an American citizen and who cannot? How does a nation founded by immigrants\, direct access to the U.S. for immigrants today?  How do immigrants impact America’s social and economic vitality?   Join us for a Frank Talk to ponder the question\, what does it mean to be an American.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace - Paradise Valley
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 term for 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.  Instead of using actual bombs and bullets\, adversaries use tactics such as deceptive information initiatives to attack identity\, manipulate narratives/stories\, and manufacture emotional and psychological warfare.  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 as destructive as actual war?  Join us for this timely FRANK Talk to discuss the impact of information warfare on civic engagement and our democratic institutions.

SUMMARY:“The Women on the Mother Road in Arizona” - Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:Katrina Parks and Arizona Humanities are pleased to announce a presentation of: \n“The Women on the Mother Road in Arizona” \na Route 66 screening and discussion program \nSpecial Guest: Arizona State Historian Marshall Trimble  \nThursday\, March 15th at 6:00 PM \nScottsdale Public Library\, Civic Center Auditorium \n3839 N. Drinkwater Blvd.  Scottsdale\, AZ \nFree and open to the public \nSponsored by Arizona Humanities and the Scottsdale Public Library \nRoute 66\, or the Mother Road as John Steinbeck called it\, has struck a chord with Americans and an ever-growing international audience since its inception in 1926\, offering economic opportunity\, adventure\, as well as providing a gateway to the West. However\, the narrative of the road\, as conveyed by popular culture and historical works\, has overlooked the experiences of women and girls. Documentary filmmaker Katrina Parks is capturing the oral histories of the women who worked and lived along Route 66 before those memories fade away. \nInterviews\, photographs\, and links to archival sources for this project can be found on the website developed by Katrina Parks\, “The Women on the Mother Road\,” \nhttp://www.route66women.com \nThe presentation will include the screening of clips of interviews and slides from Katrina Parks’ ongoing documentary film project: “The Women on the Mother Road” and a panel discussion with documentarian Parks and Arizona women’s historian Heidi Osselaer. Parks will share insights garnered from archival research\, filming oral histories\, editing interview segments\, designing a website\, and working with museums and other associations interested in exploring Route 66 from a new feminist angle. Dr. Osselaer has conducted extensive research in the field of female politicians and businesswomen which she will apply to the experiences of women on Route 66. Both panelists will explore the mythology\, nostalgia\, and authenticity surrounding the Mother Road\, and will explain why this iconic highway maintains its mystique so many years after it was decommissioned. \nThis program is supported by a grant from Arizona Humanities.

SUMMARY:Is This Racist? Racial Literacy and Social Media - Coolidge
DESCRIPTION:Is This Racist? Racial Literacy and Social Media\nDr. Kathy Nakagawa\, Arizona State University\, School of Social Transformation \nMany parents and educators avoid conversations about race and racism with their children and students\, yet young people are regularly exposed to images\, stories\, videos and statements that reflect racial societal attitudes. This exposure often comes through social media\, such as YouTube videos\, tweets\, Facebook posts\, Instagram\, Snapchat\, and blogs. Despite this exposure\, many young people are unprepared to discuss race and racism in productive ways. Parents and educators are unsure how to guide these discussions. So how do we develop a “racial literacy” to have these conversations? Like learning to read and write\, racial literacy equips us to talk about race and can help us understand the historical and systemic contexts of race and racism in America. Join us for a FRANK Talk about race\, racism\, racial literacy and social media in today’s world.
