SUMMARY:The Spirit of Spirituals: Famous and Stirring Songs of Faith\, and their Stories
DESCRIPTION:People the world over express Divine Devotion through humbly coming together and creating blessed sounds\, blending their energies and hearts to help bridge that sometimes narrow\, sometimes great\, divide between us\, as temporal beings\, and the Infinite. One example of this bridge is African American sacred music: Negro Spirituals\, and the Gospel tradition. Many have heard them\, but few know their historical\, or cultural context\, much less their African precedents. What better way to learn about it than to hear\, and sing it? Join educator\, musician\, storyteller\, and dancer Súle Greg Wilson in exploring African and Post-African music\, the stories behind the songs\, their cultural significance\, and why they continue to endure. \nD.C.-born Súle Greg Wilson is an educator\, musician\, storyteller\, dancer\, and alleviator who has served as an American Griot all his life\, absorbing\, and sharing\, elders’ words and deeds\, and adding his experience to the flow. This modern “Edu-Tainer” and Urban Shaman has shared healing story and music in concert halls\, community centers\, ceremonies\, and classrooms from Juneau to Miami Beach\, Ghana to Hawaii\, and Hermosillo to Antrim. Wilson’s music has graced Grammy Award-winning CDs\, and lauded documentaries. As an archivist\, He organized historical records for the World Bank\, the New York Stock Exchange\, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture–the NYPL\, and for Phoenix’s Sky Harbor airport\, and the Pueblo Grand Museum. He also served as Director of the Smithsonian Institute’s Afro-American Index Project–precursor to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace - Chandler
DESCRIPTION:Weaponized Narrative: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace\nDr. Braden Allenby\, Arizona State University\, President’s Professor of Civil\, Environmental\, and Sustainable Engineering\, and Lincoln Professor of Engineering and Ethics \nWeaponized narrative is the latest evolution in information warfare\, focusing specifically on the role of new media in shaping opinion. Weaponized narratives attack the shared beliefs and values of a person or society\, and undercut culture and resiliency.  Adversaries use tactics such as deceptive information to attack identity\, manipulate narratives/stories\, and create emotional and psychological damage.  What are the effects on our psychology and behavior?  How do we begin to understand the role of information warfare in social media\, news\, and marketing? Can weaponized narratives cause social polarization?  Join us for this timely FRANK Talk to discuss the impact of information warfare on public opinion\, civic engagement   and democracy.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Racial Literacy & Social Media - Chandler
DESCRIPTION:Is This Racist? Racial Literacy and Social Media\nDr. Kathy Nakagawa\, Arizona State University\, School of Social Transformation \nMany parents and educators avoid conversations about race and racism with their children and students\, yet young people are regularly exposed to images\, stories\, videos and statements that reflect racial societal attitudes. This exposure often comes through social media\, such as YouTube videos\, tweets\, Facebook posts and Tumblr blogs. Despite that exposure\, many young people are unprepared to discuss race and racism in productive ways\, and many parents and educators are unsure how to guide these discussions. So how do we develop a “racial literacy” to have these conversations? Like learning to read and write\, racial literacy equips us to talk about race and understand historical and systemic contexts of race and racism\, and it helps navigate the parallel dialogue occurring in media. Join us for a FRANK Talk about racism\, racial literacy and social media. \nClick here to learn more about FRANK Talks.
