SUMMARY:Our Right To Assemble: The History of Protest and Civil Disobedience in the U.S. w/ Matthew Whitaker
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. When and how have people engaged in protest? Who has engaged in protest? What is civil disobedience? Does everyone have the same right to assemble? 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. Whitaker’s expertise lies in U.S. history\, African American history\, race relations\, social movements\, cultural competency\, equity and inclusion\, teaching excellence\, and community partnerships.  Whitaker has received numerous awards including the 2016 DLA Diversity and Inclusion Award\, ASU’s 2015 Pioneer Award for work on African American life and culture\, and 2014 DLA Inclusive Workplace Award. Whitaker has spoken throughout the U.S. and abroad\, and has been featured on CNN\, NPR\, PBS\, WVON\, and KEMET.

SUMMARY:White Allies: Be the Change
DESCRIPTION:What is an ally? What is white privilege? As a White person\, do you struggle with how to respond to racism at work\, at home or in your community? If so\, you are not alone. Many allies seek effective tools to engage in honest and productive conversations about race. How do you talk to White co-workers\, friends\, relatives and neighbors about race? Is the conversation different when you talk to co-workers\, friends\, relatives and neighbors of color? How do you address conflicting opinions about current events\, politics or cultural differences? What are “gaps” that can affect your ability to be an ally? How can you fill in the blanks? This program focuses on developing specific skills to engage productively with people who are skeptical that racism exists\, and to learn how to take specific actions to foster racial equity.

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: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:Not Racist or Anti-Racist? Talking About Race In America with Rowdy Duncan
DESCRIPTION:What is the difference between race and ethnicity? What does it mean to be anti-racist versus not racist? Understanding the history of race in America\, and its impact on all of us is important. Race is not just a complex subject of study\, but a lived experience that is unique to everyone. This means you can’t just read and learn about it from textbooks; you must talk to\, and listen to others. It is more important now than ever to be culturally competent. Is it possible to be “not-racist” in our society? What does it mean to be anti-racist? How can we be proactive in our anti-racist efforts? 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.

SUMMARY:Re-Thinking Masculinity with Rowdy Duncan
DESCRIPTION:Masculinity is generally defined as “the qualities — habits and traits that society considers to be appropriate for a man.” So then what’s the buzz about “toxic” masculinity?

Big boys don’t cry. Real men don’t eat quiche. Boys will be boys. Don’t be a sissy. Man-up. How might we rethink the role of masculinity in a changing world?

SUMMARY:Nice is Not Enough: Understanding Systemic Oppression with Rory Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Current events across the nation are challenging us to take a hard look at how some groups of people are being treated differently from others on a daily basis. Why does this happen? What systems intentionally or implicitly benefit some people at the expense of others? How does systemic oppression impact certain groups at work\, at school\, and in the community? As the beneficiaries of these systemic decisions\, policies or laws\, we are often not even aware of the impact on us\, or the harm to others. This program provides an opportunity to explore how systems impact people differently\, and the steps we can take personally to eliminate unfair treatment and harm to others.

SUMMARY:Our Right To Assemble: The History of Protest and Civil Disobedience in the U.S.
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. When and how have people engaged in protest? Who has engaged in protest? What is civil disobedience? Does everyone have the same right to assemble? 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.

SUMMARY:Do You See What I See? Implicit Bias For Better or Worse with Rory Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:We come from different places and backgrounds. Our life experiences and backgrounds can affect the way we see the world and each other\, for better or worse. What is implicit bias\, and how does it shape our attitudes and actions towards others? How do stereotypes affect our understanding\, actions\, and decisions? “Implicit bias” can cause us to have feelings and attitudes about other people based on characteristics such as race\, ethnicity\, age\, ability\, and appearance. How can we learn to navigate the world as seen through the eyes of people different from us? How can we share what we have learned with people at home\, at work\, and in the communities we live in?

SUMMARY:Nice is Not Enough: Understanding Systemic Oppression
DESCRIPTION:Current events across the nation are challenging us to take a hard look at how some groups of people are being treated differently from others on a daily basis. Why does this happen?

SUMMARY:The History of Police and Policing with Matthew Whitaker
DESCRIPTION:What is the history of policing in the U.S.? Where did police come from\, and what was their role? How did police interact with communities in the past? How do police interact with communities now? Recent clashes between the police and the public have thrust the nation into a period of social unrest and violence not seen since the 1960s.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Water in Arizona: Sustainability\, Supply and Demand
DESCRIPTION:Water is necessary for life\, but as supply shrinks\, choices must be made about who is given access to water and who isn’t. Communities across Arizona are going dry. This means that some residents may have no choice except to move. How do we decide who gets access to water\, and who does not? Should the needs of the many be placed above the needs of the few? How do we address the social and moral issues raised by competition for scarce resources\, locally\, regionally and nationwide?

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Energy Resources in Arizona: A State of Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Arizonans are living in a period of energy transition. Cleaner\, renewable energy sources are becoming cheaper than traditional fossil fuel energy sources. Although this transition may be better for the environment\, its effects on the economies of some Arizona communities can be devastating.

SUMMARY:Through My Eyes- The Impact of Implicit Bias
DESCRIPTION:We come from different places and backgrounds. Our life experiences and backgrounds can affect the way we see the world and each other\, for better or worse. What is implicit bias\, and how does it shape our attitudes and actions towards others? How do stereotypes affect our understanding\, actions\, and decisions? “Implicit bias” can cause us to have feelings and attitudes about other people based on characteristics such as race\, ethnicity\, age\, and appearance. How can we learn to navigate the world we see “through our eyes\,” and the world as seen through the eyes of people different from us? \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.

SUMMARY:Free Speech: Can I Tell You How Much I Hate You?
DESCRIPTION:Freedom of speech is fundamental in a democratic society. It means that a person or a community can express their opinion or ideas without fear of retaliation or censorship. But what happens when the opinions expressed are unpopular\, violent or dangerous? Whether expressed in person\, or through social media\, words can have a powerful effect on our sense of safety\, inclusion or exclusion\, and equality or inequality. What is “hate speech?” Who decides what speech is protected\, and what is not? Who regulates social media content? What is the impact on individuals and communities who are silenced? Explore the complex history of first amendment freedoms of speech\, expression and assembly in America. \nGail Rhodes is a PhD student and an adjunct professor at the Cronkite School with more than 16 years of professional experience working as a television reporter. She worked for the Fox Sports Network in Chicago and helped to launch the Comcast Sports Network. Rhodes has been an adjunct professor for Cronkite since 2014\, where she teaches advanced television sports reporting\, and advanced topics in sports media.

SUMMARY:Energy Resources in Arizona: A State of Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Arizonans are living in a period of energy transition. Cleaner\, renewable energy sources are becoming cheaper than traditional fossil fuel energy sources. Although this transition may be better for the environment\, its effects on the economies of some Arizona communities can be devastating. The rapid shift from fossil fuels such as coal\, oil and natural gas\, to renewable energy is having a profound impact on the Navajo and Hopi nations. How do we respond locally\, regionally and nationally to the impact of these energy transitions? What can be done to lessen the negative effects? Join us for a lively discussion about the economic\, social and moral impact of energy transitions in Arizona. \nPaul Hirt is a Professor of History\, Senior Sustainability Scholar\, and member of the public history faculty at Arizona State University. He specializes in the American West\, environmental history\, and sustainability studies. Hirt’s publications include a 2012 monograph on the history of electric power in the US Northwest and British Columbia titled The Wired Northwest\, a monograph on the history of national forest management since WWII\, titled A Conspiracy of Optimism (1994)\, and more than two dozen articles and book chapters on various topics in environmental history\, including two essays on water and sustainability in Arizona. Dr. Hirt conceived and directed the “Nature\, Culture\, and History at Grand Canyon” project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities he chairs the American Society for Environmental History’s Advisory Board for Professional Development and Public Engagement\, and he is an elected member of the Board of Directors of the Salt River Project.
