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? 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. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nRory specializes in supporting organizations committed to enhancing diversity\, and creating more inclusive cultures.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - The Antiquity of Irrigation in the Southwest
DESCRIPTION:Before AD 1500\, Native American cultures took advantage of southern Arizona’s long growing season and tackled its challenge of limited precipitation by developing the earliest and most extensive irrigation works in all of North America. Agriculture was introduced to Arizona more than 4\,000 years before present\, and irrigation systems were developed in our state at least 3\,500 years ago – several hundred years before irrigation was established in ancient Mexico. This presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart provides an overview of ancient irrigation systems in the southern Southwest and discusses irrigation’s implications for understanding social complexity. \nRegistered Professional Archaeologist Allen Dart has worked in Arizona and New Mexico since 1975 and has been an Arizona Humanities speaker since 1997. He is the executive director of Tucson’s nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center\, which he founded in 1993 to provide educational and scientific programs in archaeology\, history\, and cultures. Al has received the Arizona Governor’s Archaeology Advisory Commission Award in Public Archaeology\, the Arizona Archaeological Society’s Professional Archaeologist of the Year Award\, and the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society’s Victor R. Stoner Award for his efforts to bring archaeology and history to the public.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - On the Road Since 1925: The Colorful History of Arizona Highways
DESCRIPTION:The first issue of Arizona Highways magazine was published in April\, 1925. In this presentation\, former publisher Win Holden will share the fascinating story of how a brochure produced by the Arizona Highway Department evolved into one of the most respected and revered publications in the world. With annual economic impact of over $65 million\, Arizona Highways reaches all 50 states and over 100 countries around the world. But the journey has been anything but uneventful. With a unique publishing model not dependent on advertising\, the magazine has had to unearth new sources of revenue to sustain its operations. And\, as part of the Arizona Department of Transportation\, has had to survive without state funding. Learn how this remarkable magazine has beaten the odds and is thriving in a competitive environment that has seen respected national magazines fall by the wayside. \nWin Holden was named the sixth Publisher of Arizona Highways Magazine in May 2000. The publication is recognized as one of the finest travel magazines in the world. The magazine has over 120\,000 subscribers in all 50 states and 100 countries. As Publisher\, Mr. Holden led a diverse group of businesses centered on the world-renowned magazine including licensing\, book publishing\, calendars\, e- commerce\, new product development\, product marketing and retailing. A Valley resident since 1980\, Mr. Holden was recognized by the Arizona Office of Tourism and the Arizona Lodging and Tourism Association as their 2017 and 2018 Lifetime Award recipient and received the 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Business Journal.

DESCRIPTION:Before AD 1500\, Native American cultures took advantage of southern Arizona’s long growing season and tackled its challenge of limited precipitation by developing the earliest and most extensive irrigation works in all of North America. Agriculture was introduced to Arizona more than 4\,000 years before present\, and irrigation systems were developed in our state at least 3\,500 years ago – several hundred years before irrigation was established in ancient Mexico. This presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart provides an overview of ancient irrigation systems in the southern Southwest and discusses irrigation’s implications for understanding social complexity. \nRegistered Professional Archaeologist Allen Dart has worked in Arizona and New Mexico since 1975 and has been an Arizona Humanities speaker since 1997. He is the executive director of Tucson’s nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center\, which he founded in 1993 to provide educational and scientific programs in archaeology\, history\, and cultures. Al has received the Arizona Governor’s Archaeology Advisory Commission Award in Public Archaeology\, the Arizona Archaeological Society’s Professional Archaeologist of the Year Award\, and the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society’s Victor R. Stoner Award for his efforts to bring archaeology and history to the public

SUMMARY:CANCELED - The Science of Music\, The Music of Science
DESCRIPTION:Why do so many physicists compare the universe to an orchestra? Why did Einstein use his violin playing to enhance his contemplation of the workings of the cosmos? The connection of music to science was illuminated early on when Pythagoras divided a string. Not surprisingly\, from astrophysicists to quantum theorists\, the common key to unlocking mysteries is math. And clearly\, the study of sound\, acoustics and the vibrational spectrum intricately entwine science and music through mathematical computations. Understanding music’s physiological effects on our brains and the body is the goal of a growing number of studies by neuroscientists. Learn about the correlations between these two overlapping worlds and why so many high professionals are musicians and musicians\, scientists. \nJanice Jarrett has extensive experience teaching in schools\, colleges\, community programs and as a speaker\, from numerous free lance talks\, to Arts Encounters (UA Presents)\, to the Arizona Humanities Council. Post Ph.D. she continued her scholarly interdisciplinary research including music and the brain\, science\, healing\, and in culture. She runs a private music studio and like many musicians\, she is a multi-professional: adding jazz singer\, lyricist\, arranger\, band leader and journalist. She earned her Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology\, a masters in World Music\, and a B.A. in voice and composition.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Borders\, Walls and Immigration in Arizona
DESCRIPTION:The Arizona-Mexico border is a line of separation and a place of coming together. This paradox shapes the borderland region and its people in fascinating and important ways. In this talk\, Dr. Warren offers a historical and geographical overview of the formation of the Arizona- Mexico border and its evolution since the 1800s. The program discusses historical and contemporary efforts to demarcate the boundary through bi-national surveys\, the construction of fences and walls\, and policing. Warren will also offer a contemporary survey of what the border looks like today\, from the New Mexico line to Yuma. This talk is intended to increase awareness of the current state of the Arizona-Mexico border and the policies that affect the borderland. \nScott Warren is a cultural geographer who lives in Ajo\, Arizona. As an academic geographer he researches and teaches about the intersection of people and place at the Mexico-U.S. border. He works to bring the experiences of the Arizona-Sonora borderlands into his classrooms\, while at the same time getting students out of the classroom and into the Arizona-Sonora borderlands. Scott favorite past time is exploring Arizona’s beautiful landscapes and important places.

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. 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.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Arizona's Great Escape
DESCRIPTION:During the night of Christmas Eve in 1944\, twenty-five Nazi German prisoners of war escaped from Papago Park POW camp on the outskirts of Phoenix and headed towards Mexico. These men were hardcore Nazis\, ex U-boat commanders\, and submariners\, who had successfully dug a nearly 200-foot underground tunnel that took four months to complete. Many people may have heard of this event\, but few know the details. This presentation tells the story of what happened to these German POWs and the Arizona residents who encountered them. \nSteve Renzi\, a University of Arizona graduate with a degree in history\, believes that every generation must learn about who and what came before them or else the lessons learned are lost. As a writer and photographer with a teacher’s certificate in secondary education\, Renzi is always searching for new ways of exploring our history. He has been published in over 200 magazine and newspaper articles and is currently a writing and photography teacher\, as well as a basketball coach.

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.

SUMMARY:Arizona for Newcomers
DESCRIPTION:What is it that makes Arizona unique\, that gives it a different flavor from neighboring New Mexico\, California\, Utah\, Colorado\, Sonora\, and Chihuahua? In part the answer lies in Arizona’s longstanding habit of absorbing influences from its neighbors in matters such as architecture\, music\, and cuisine\, incorporating them into an already vibrant tradition made up of influences taken from around the globe\, and serving up a blend of visual arts\, literature\, and folk life that is unlike any other. In part it’s because Arizonans\, throughout history\, have insisted on being different—and in surprising and delightful ways. Tailored to newcomers to Arizona\, this humor-laden talk is an introduction to those various traditions and to sources for the further exploration of Arizona’s culture and all the things that make it unlike any other. \nGregory McNamee is a writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of 40 books and more than 6\,000 articles and other publications.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - The Most Courageous Arizona Journalist You've Never Heard Of
DESCRIPTION:You can’t find Laura Nihell in the Arizona Archives\, or any history book on early Arizona\, or any chronicle of Arizona journalists—but she was not only there\, she proved herself one of the most courageous journalists of territorial days. Laura owned the Copper Belt in Jerome from 1909 to 1912—in the midst of Arizona’s quest for statehood and voting rights for women—and stood up against one of the ugliest chapters in our history: The Chinese Purge. Jana discovered this woman in an obscure book and has spent years tracking down her remarkable story\, finding history wrote her out precisely because she was so courageous. It’s a fascinating tale. \nJana Bommersbach is one of Arizona’s most honored and respected journalists.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - The New Deal and the Civilian Conservation Corps in Arizona: Connections to Our Historic Landmarks
DESCRIPTION:The history of the New Deal\, and how Arizonans responded to its challenges\, is an inspirational story of how individuals worked to better themselves; a story of how communities took care of inhabitants and total strangers during drought and Depression; and a story of how we\, as a state\, could improve the lives of all and leave an important built legacy for generations to come. That legacy is still written in our landscapes\, buildings\, and communities. We use those historic sidewalks\, schools\, and post offices without knowing that they were built for us more than 80 years ago. Today we enjoy our parks and forests that were restored for us long ago. We can celebrate those ‘bootstrap’ labors and remind ourselves that we\, too\, can rise above adversity to improve our lives and the lives of others around us. \nRobin Pinto studies the evolution of cultural landscapes in Arizona and focuses on four issues of historic change: early settlement and homesteading\, New Deal federal work programs\, ranching on public lands\, and development of our national parks. She has an MLA and PhD from the University of Arizona. She writes historical landscape assessments for the National Park Service\, works with the BLM Heritage Technical Team to study landscape change at the Empire Ranch and Cienega Creek watershed\, and volunteers for numerous non-profit preservation organizations. With three other historians\, she recently completed a book\, Cowboys and Cowgirls around Ajo\, Arizona.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Keeping Heritage Real in Arizona
DESCRIPTION:One may hear varying points of view when it comes to heritage – timeless creation or historical storytelling\, all are imperative. Keeping heritage ‘real’ is important as it ensures the posterity for Native Americans.

SUMMARY:Pershing's Chinese: Asylum Seekers amid Chinese Exclusion
DESCRIPTION:In 1917\, Gen. John J. Pershing brought 527 Chinese refugees from Mexico. These men had attached themselves to the punitive expedition conducted by Gen. Pershing in pursuit of the Mexican revolutionary leader Francisco “Pancho” Villa from 1916 to 1917. When Pershing withdrew\, aware that the lives of the Chinese who had served his troops were in danger\, he requested official permission to grant asylum to the Chinese. The majority of the Pershing’s Chinese refugees were sent to Fort Sam Houston in Texas\, where the U.S. government employed them as “army wards\,” working as unpaid laborers in support of the war effort. There they remained confined until 1921\, when they were finally released by special federal legislation that allowed them to live and work freely anywhere in the United States\, but not become citizens. Most stayed in Texas\, while a few made their way to Arizona. Lee Wee Kwon (1878-1965) was one of the Arizona-bound Chinese immigrants. He made Arizona his new home and played a significant role in the development and growth of Chinese enterprise in Tucson. \nLi is currently a faculty associate at Arizona State University.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Arizona's Great Escape
DESCRIPTION:During the night of Christmas Eve in 1944\, twenty-five Nazi German prisoners of war escaped from Papago Park POW camp on the outskirts of Phoenix and headed towards Mexico. These men were hardcore Nazis\, ex U-boat commanders\, and submariners\, who had successfully dug a nearly 200-foot underground tunnel that took four months to complete. Many people may have heard of this event\, but few know the details. This presentation tells the story of what happened to these German POWs and the Arizona residents who encountered them. \nSteve Renzi\, a University of Arizona graduate with a degree in history\, believes that every generation must learn about who and what came before them or else the lessons learned are lost. As a writer and photographer with a teacher’s certificate in secondary education\, Renzi is always searching for new ways of exploring our history. He has been published in over 200 magazine and newspaper articles and is currently a writing and photography teacher\, as well as a basketball coach.
