SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: School Choice in Arizona - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:School Choice in Arizona\nDr. Angelina Castagno\, Northern Arizona University\, Educational Foundations \nArizona is one of the nation’s most “choice friendly” states regarding educational opportunities at the K-12 level. “School choice” is a term for K–12 schooling options in the U.S. describing a wide array of alternatives to public schools\, including charter schools. The expansion of charter schools and vouchers (often called educational savings accounts) is not without controversy. Does school choice improve school quality? 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 - Eradicating Global Hunger: Is Genetically Modified Food (GMO) a Solution? - Tucson
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: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:Landscapes of Migration in the Arizona-Sonora Borderland - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:The dividing line of the U.S.-Mexico border may be the most significant feature of the Arizona-Sonora borderland today\, but the region is also at the center of major north-south corridors of human migration. In this talk\, Scott warren offers an in-depth look at historical and contemporary patterns of south-north migration through this region\, from ancient Hohokam trade routes\, to Spanish colonizers\, to contemporary migrants—both documented and undocumented. While in some cases migration routes and patterns have changed over time\, in other cases they have largely stayed the same. This talk is intended to increase awareness of Arizona’s south-north connections and how they shape our cultural landscape. \nScott Warren is a cultural geographer and Lecturer in the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University 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 his students out of the classroom and into the Arizona-Sonora borderlands.
