SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Anthem
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:Wild\, Weird\, Wicked Arizona - Flagstaff
DESCRIPTION:For a state that has been home to Geronimo\, Wyatt Earp\, César Chavez and Wonder Women\, you would think Arizona earned some respect. Yet achieving statehood was a 50-year struggle\, which finally ended on February 14\, 1912. Jana borrows from both her work for True West Magazine and her work for Phoenix Magazine to put the 48th state into perspective. She shares some of the secrets prissy folks would rather forget. You will learn why this small state has had an inordinate influence on American politics\, and why\, no matter what outrageous thing happens anywhere in the world\, there is bound to be an Arizona connection. This wicked\, weird and wild romp through Arizona’s colorful history will shock\, delight\, inform\, tickle and leave you wanting to learn more! \nJana Bommersbach is one of Arizona’s most honored and respected journalists.  She has won accolades in every facet of her career—investigative reporter\, magazine columnist\, television commentator and author of nationally acclaimed books. She currently writes for True West magazine\, digging up the true stories behind the popular myths\, with an emphasis on Arizona’s real history and women of the Old West. Her insight\, knowledge and wit produce exuberant\, riveting speeches that always garner rave reviews.

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:Hellraising\, Heroic and Hidden Women of the Old West - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Although history tries to tell us ONLY men settled the Old West\, that is shattered by Jana’s verbal tour through some of the amazing women who made all the difference. Any woman who came West in the 1800s had to be full of grit and spit to survive and Jana has collected the stories of dozens of women who prove it. Ever heard of Donaldina Cameron or Biddy Mason? Sharlot Hall or Pearl Hart—Arizona’s infamous stagecoach robber? Jana reveals the contributions of women like Lozen\, the Apache warrior considered the “Joan of Arc” of her people\, and Terrisita\, the most famous Mexican woman in the nation at the turn of the century. Meeting these women\, you will never think of the Old West the same again! \nJana Bommersbach is one of Arizona’s most honored and respected journalists.  She has won accolades in every facet of her career—investigative reporter\, magazine columnist\, television commentator and author of nationally acclaimed books.

SUMMARY:The Holocaust and Its Memory - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:The Nazis in Germany committed the worst crimes against humanity in world history. The Holocaust will remain in our collective memory and reminds us constantly of the profound dangers that threaten modern society.  Democracy is a fragile construct. This presentation analyzes the causes and conditions for the rise of the Nazis in Germany\, and traces the horrible history of the Holocaust through maps\, images\, and texts\, focusing also on the culture practiced today in Germany in a most moving way.  There is probably no other lesson from the twentieth century more important to keep in mind today than what we know about the Holocaust. \nDr. Albrecht Classen is a university distinguished professor of German Studies at the University of Arizona – where he teaches and researches the European Middle Ages\, the early modern age\, and modern German-speaking lands\, focusing on literature\, the visual arts\, politics\, philosophy\, and religion. He has published more than 90 scholarly books\, such as on the forest in medieval literature (2015). He has given lectures all over the state of Arizona\, the nation\, and globally. Over the last 30 years\, he has received numerous teaching\, research\, and service awards\, and has been repeatedly nominated for the Dan Shilling Public Humanities Scholar Award.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks Eradicating Global Hunger: Is Genetically Modified Food (GMO) a Solution?  - Chandler
DESCRIPTION:Eradicating Global Hunger: Is Genetically Modified Food (GMO) a Solution? \nJulian Kunnie\, University of Arizona\, Religious Studies/Classics/Africana Studies/Indigenous/Globalization Studies \nTechnological innovations in the early 21st century have promoted the development of genetically modified seeds and foods\, as a potential solution to the crisis of world hunger.   Eighty percent of the corn\, soy\, and cotton cultivated in the U.S. today\, is genetically modified. Is GMO seed and food production the best solution to address hunger and food shortages? What are the environmental and agricultural consequences of pervasive GMO seed cultivation in the U.S and abroad? Are GMO’s dangerous? Do GMO’s affect our health and welfare today? Join us for an exploration of the impact of technology on our food and future.

SUMMARY:Smitten By Stone: How We Came to Love the Grand Canyon - Cave Creek
DESCRIPTION:In spite of being one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World\,” humans have not always seen the Grand Canyon in a positive light. First seen by Europeans in the year 1540\, the canyon was not comprehended easily. Throughout the entire exploratory era\, lasting nearly 320 years\, conquistadores\, explorers\, trappers and miners viewed the canyon as an obstacle to travel or even useless. None of these early visitors ever returned a second time. However\, when the first geologist laid eyes on it in 1857\, he issued a siren call to humanity that it was something quite special on our planet. Every geologist who followed returned again\, announcing to the world that the Grand Canyon was to be revered. \nWayne Ranney is a dynamic speaker who engages audiences by including the humanities in the topics of landscape development and Arizona history. A resident of Arizona since 1975\, Wayne lived at the bottom of the Grand Canyon for three years before attaining degrees in geology from Northern Arizona University. He has traveled to nearly 90 countries worldwide and has lectured on all seven continents. His programs are insightful\, participatory\, and thought provoking. He has extensive experience in the geological sciences but brings the human element into his topics\, showing how new ideas are conceived\, developed\, challenged or accepted. He is also an award-winning author of numerous books.

SUMMARY:Early Western Songs and Singers - Surprise
DESCRIPTION:Whether or not you grew up when Western films competed favorably with the popular films of the day\, you will definitely want to take yourself back in time to hear the music that made cowboy legends out of the Sons of the Pioneers\, Roy Rogers\, Gene Autry\, Jimmy Wakely and so many other Western singers. Music Historian Erik Larson will ‘stir the campfire’ and feature a generous number of original Western recordings that were so much a part of the 1930s and 1940s. \nErik Larson earned a B. A. degree from San Diego State University in 1962 and served with Boys Clubs Of America (now Boys & Girls Clubs) for 30 years  as the director of five different Clubs throughout the Midwest and California. While in Aberdeen\, South Dakota and Des Moines\, Iowa he received a national awards for creating outreach programs designed to help youth from single parent or otherwise disadvantaged families. Eventually he was asked to join the National Staff as a management consultant to individual Club staffs and boards of directors. For nearly two decades\, he has been a volunteer docent at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park in Flagstaff.

SUMMARY:Flagstaff Pioneer John Elden:  Murder\, Mystery\, Myth and History - Lake Havasu City
DESCRIPTION:The best-known and perhaps most visited grave site in northern Arizona belongs to little Johnny Elden\, Jr. His 1887 murder remains one of the most infamous in Territorial history. Today\, Johnny rests alone in a rock-covered grave at the base of the mountain named for his father. A beautiful U.S. Forest Service interpretive panel nearby describes the awful crime. Johnny was just six years old when he was shot and killed by itinerant mule skinner Bob Roberts in a dispute over water. Although the murder has haunted Flagstaff for over a century\, did it really happen? This presentation examines the story of pioneer John Elden\, the murder of his son\, and the contribution of myth to history. \nJohn Westerlund is an independent scholar and American West historian. He was a career Army officer serving four overseas tours. He was a seasonal National Park Service ranger for 11 summers with the Flagstaff Area National Monuments. His book Arizona’s War Town: Flagstaff\, Navajo Ordnance Depot\, and World War II won several awards for preservation of Southwest culture. He published numerous articles in The Journal of Arizona History along with articles in French and U.S. defense-related journals. He has been a ‘Road Scholar’ with AZ Humanities for over a decade and is a member of the Flagstaff Corral of Westerners.

SUMMARY:You Are Where You Eat: How Dining Out Defines Arizona - Sun Lakes
DESCRIPTION:When the first dining guide to the Valley of the Sun appeared in 1978\, the authors had to explain what “sushi” was. Fast forward four decades\, and Arizonans are munching rainbow rolls in shopping-mall food courts. The restaurant business in Arizona now brings in more than $11 billion a year. With stories\, statistics and insider tidbits\, former restaurant critic Howard Seftel explores the many ways that dining out reflects our evolving culture\, as well as shapes it. He explains the rise of independent chefs\, the boom in ethnic eating\, the push for local sourcing and the growth of Arizona wines. Seftel also offers a rare inside look at the development of food criticism and the Internet’s impact. \nHoward Seftel has a unique perspective on the dining culture in Arizona. He spent 23 years as a restaurant reviewer at the Arizona Republic and Phoenix New Times – checking out some 5\,000 meals. With humor and inside details\, he gives audiences a fresh understanding of an experience we all share. \n

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now - Tucson
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: Rising from Invisibility:  Indigenous Arizona Women - Flagstaff
DESCRIPTION:In many Southwestern matrifocal cultures\, Indigenous women’s lives are modeled after female heroes and sacred women who exemplify and express courage and kinship values. Among some tribal cultures\, rites of passage celebrate female creativity and the transformative nature of women\, hence there was not a need for the concept of feminism. Nevertheless\, Indigenous women’s lives remain invisible and stereotyped by Hollywood. This talk presents how Indigenous women have contributed in significant ways\, not only to their tribal nations\, but also to many aspects of contemporary American life. \nLaura Tohe is Diné/Navajo.  She is Sleepy Rock clan born for the Bitter Water clan. A librettist and an award-winning poet\, she has written 3 books of poetry\, edited a book of Native American Women writing\, and the oral history book\, Code Talker Stories. Her commissioned libretto\, Enemy Slayer\, A Navajo Oratorio made its world premiere in 2008 and was performed by The Phoenix Symphony.  She is Professor with Distinction in Indigenous Literature at Arizona State University and is the Poet Laureate of the Navajo Nation for 2015-2019.

SUMMARY:Rivers of Dreams: Stories and Music of Arizona’s Waterways - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Arizona’s rivers were first\, lush green ribbons of life through a desert landscape. They became sustaining paths\, first for the indigenous\, later for immigrants leaving wagon tracks. On the Salt River\, Hohokam built vast canals to direct water for irrigation. The first European citizens of Phoenix used these same trenches. The history\, stories and songs are shared interactively. \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. One of his most recent publication is Iretaba: Mohave Chief and American Diplomat. Dr. Craváth will begin an Arizona tour in late May of 2017 for his latest album: “Songs for Ancient Days.”

Music Historian Erik Larson will ‘stir the campfire’ and feature a generous number of original Western recordings that were so much a part of the 1930s and 1940s. \nErik Larson earned a B. A. degree from San Diego State University in 1962 and served with Boys Clubs Of America (now Boys & Girls Clubs) for 30 years  as the director of five different Clubs throughout the Midwest and California. While in Aberdeen\, South Dakota and Des Moines\, Iowa he received a national awards for creating outreach programs designed to help youth from single parent or otherwise disadvantaged families. Eventually he was asked to join the National Staff as a management consultant to individual Club staffs and boards of directors. For nearly two decades\, he has been a volunteer docent at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park in Flagstaff.
