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. 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.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - 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. 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. His books include Hurricane Katrina: America’s Unnatural Disaster\, Race Work: The Rise of Civil Rights in the Urban West\, and his forthcoming memoir\, The Undisputed Truth: A Revolutionary Journey to Black Manhood.

SUMMARY: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? Join us for a discussion about water in Arizona\, sustainability and the supply/demand imbalance. \nPaul Hirt is a Professor of History\, Senior Sustainability Scholar\, and member of the public history faculty at Arizona State University.

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. Her doctoral studies focus on the intersection of sports culture\, media and society.

SUMMARY:Hip Hop and American Culture
DESCRIPTION:Can music shape public opinions and foster social change? Does music expand our cultural knowledge or reinforce stereotypes? How does Hip Hop affect perceptions of youth\, class\, power and authority? This program examines how the specific musical genre\, Hip Hop\, has transformed the world through musical fusion\, rhetorical jousting\, cultural innovation\, entrepreneurial-ism\, and political commentary. We will explore its origins and elements\, and discuss its impact in the U.S. and contemporary multi-racial\, and multi-generational\, society. \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:American Native: Native American
DESCRIPTION:What is the experience of Native Americans in the U.S.? What is Native? What is Indian? What is Indigenous? The experiences of Native Americans in the U.S. are complex\, and filled with a rich history marked simultaneously by pride\, honor and achievement\, and by political\, religious and racial disparity. How does social media perpetuate stereotypes about Indians? How can we learn to understand and appreciate the diverse culture\, language and history of the first people? Develop skills and knowledge that will help you counter false narratives about Native Americans then and now. \nRowdy Duncan has worked in the field of diversity and inclusion for over a decade.

SUMMARY: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? Join us for a discussion about water in Arizona\, sustainability and the supply/demand imbalance. \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.

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.

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:"Fake News”: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Jamie 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.

Does school choice increase educational opportunity for all students? Has school choice fostered the privatization of education in the U.S.? Join us for a FRANK Talk about the policy and practical implications of school choice.

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.
