SUMMARY:The Ballad of Arizona
DESCRIPTION:Originally conceived to celebrate Arizona’s Centennial in 2012\, “The Ballad of Arizona” has been updated to provide a more complete survey of important\, but often little-known\, chapters of Arizona’s unique history. A blend of music\, video\, and lecture\, “The Ballad of Arizona” is similar to “A Prairie Home Companion” but with an Arizona twist. The dozen vignettes featured in the presentation include the Buffalo Soldiers\, dude ranch history\, the Code Talkers\, forester Aldo Leopold\, Japanese-American Internment\, famous cattle drives\, the assassination of reporter Don Bolles\, and more stories that explore Arizona’s unique cultural and natural diversity. Jay Craváth is joined by Dan Shilling for this entertaining two-person presentation that combines song and story. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nJay Craváth\, Ph.D. is a composer\, writer\, and scholar in the field of music and Indigenous studies. He crafts programs from these interests into interactive discussions that include stories\, musical performance\, and illustrations/photography.

Dr. Craváth will begin an Arizona tour in late May of 2017 for his latest album: Songs for Ancient Days. \nDan is the former executive director of Arizona Humanities\, where he worked for nearly 20 years.

SUMMARY:Have You Ever Been Called Racist\, Sexist\, Ageist? How to Respond to 'ist' Mistakes with Michelle Dew
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been called a racist? The first response when others call attention to our actions or statements may be defensive. “I am not that kind of person. I did not mean to cause harm.” Merriam-Webster defines an ism as “an oppressive and especially discriminatory attitude or belief.” Many of us feel that we don’t perpetuate ”isms.” But in truth\, the insidious complexities of isms – racism\, classism\, and sexism to name a few – mean we may all play a part in the perpetuation of systems and behaviors that can harm others. What is the difference between being a racist and engaging in racist behavior? How do the unintended slights that arise out of ignorance or fears of different cultures\, impact the people that we interact with every day? Defensive reactions over our mistakes can rob us of the opportunity for true and deep learning. Join us for an interactive dialogue on how to respond to “ist” mistakes. We will learn how to reduce defensiveness\, and instead pivot to accountability\, healing\, and understanding. If we wish to be strong allies against isms\, we must start the work within ourselves. Is there a difference between being a racist and engaging in racist behavior? REGISTER HERE. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMichelle works as a Communication faculty member at GateWay Community College. Her areas of focus include identity\, active listening\, diversity\, inclusion\, equity\, service-learning\, and nonviolent communication. For the past nine years\, Michelle has served as a MOSAIC (Maximizing Our Strengths As an Inclusive Community) diversity and inclusion facilitator for the Maricopa Community Colleges. In addition to this work\, she also serves on the Healing Racism Committee; a group that facilitates public dialogues concerning current events and topics related to racism\, Arizona communities\, and American society.

SUMMARY:All My Relations: Indigenous Thinking in Seven Generations with Rowdy Duncan
DESCRIPTION:Who do you consider to be people that you are related to? Who is and is not part of your community? Is there a way to widen our perspective of who is part of our community and invested in our success. This workshop will introduce the idea of thinking in seven generations and examine the concept used in indigenous circles “All my relations”. What if we could learn to see in a more timeless frame? How we view the world\, and the contributions of others\, can be shaped by who we are “connected” to\, and who we are “disconnected” from. The choices we make about how we choose to live\, and what matters to us\, have much to do with the world we live in\, and the people who surround us\, at home\, at work\, and at play. Who is your “tribe?” Can you trace your family roots back to the beginning? Do we have any obligation to those who came before us\, or who come after us? What is our responsibility for making a better world? Participants will explore these questions in a unique\, interactive program that will improve their communication skills\, facilitate learning\, and help them navigate cultural differences at work and at home. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nRowdy has worked in the field of diversity and inclusion for over a decade. Currently he is full time faculty in the field of Communication with an emphasis in Interpersonal Communication\, Public Speaking\, and Intercultural Communication. He has lead peer Mentoring groups that educate youth about drug prevention\, educational success\, and college and career readiness.  Rowdy completed director training from the Anytown/Ourtown programs and teaches young people and their leaders about power\, privilege\, equity\, and inclusion. He also sits on the curriculum board for Anytown AZ. An engaging and passionate presenter and facilitator\, Rowdy is also the director of Phoenix College’s Diversity Incorporated.\, a program that teaches students how to present the MOSAIC inclusiveness program\, and he is an active member of the Healing Racism Public Dialogue Series\, winner of the 2008 National League of Cities Promoting Inclusive Award.  He also produces and delivers his Inclusive Activism Podcast bi-weekly to his thousands of listeners about how the intersections of Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Equity work are a form of Personal Leadership.

SUMMARY:Our Right To Assemble: The History of Protest and Civil Disobedience in the U.S. on 12/10 at 12PM
DESCRIPTION:The First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” This basic freedom ensures the right of people to come together and collectively express\, promote\, pursue\, and defend their collective or shared ideas.

In recent days the brutal murders of African Americans by the police has sparked widespread protest across the U.S. and even abroad. How do we balance public safety and human rights? How do race\, power and class impact access to free speech and the right to assemble? Participants will explore these questions in a safe\, interactive discussion. REGISTER HERE. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMatthew Whitaker is a decorated educator\, historian\, author\, social justice advocate\, motivational speaker\, and founder of the ASU Center for the Study of Race and Democracy\, where he taught for 16 years.
