SUMMARY:Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now - Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Matt 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:The Era of the Big Bands - Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:The Big Band era\, 1930s and 1940s\, came during turmoil in the United States with Prohibition\, the Depression and World War II. People were anxious to temporarily forget their troubles and the insurgence of the Big Bands gave them that outlet. For many\, dancing and romancing to the bands were some of the happiest moments of their youth\, and this music brings back those memories\, both to those who lived through the era and now their children who grew up listening to their parents’ music. Erik brings original recordings of the bests of the bands and vocalists and when playing them\, encourage my audiences to ask questions\, identify the performers and share stories in an interactive environment. \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:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Gilbert
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 journalism 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 catch-all term used to discredit stories\, and in the political arena to influence the political process and elections in the U.S and abroad.  What is the impact of “fake news”?  How does “fake news” affect community conversations 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:FRANK Talks: Modern Policing or a Police State - Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Body Cameras\, Tasers and Guns: Modern Policing or a Police State? \nMichael Scott\, ASU Center for Problem-Oriented Policing\, School of Criminology & Criminal Justice \nThe methods and tools used by police officers today are not the same as in the past. In some cases the police are using military tools and tactics for law enforcement. Are the police really protecting the public\, or are they over-policing civilians? Is there a “war on police” that is chilling local law enforcement? Are public demands for independent investigations of police violence\, demilitarized police forces\, and an end to “for-profit” policing justified?  Join us for a FRANK Talk with local police.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: War\, Liberty & Law - Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:War\, Liberty & Law: The U.S. Constitution and Crisis\nDr. T.J. Davis\, Arizona State University\, School of Historical\, Philosophical and Religious Studies \nThere is a fundamental tension between national security and individual liberty. The Bill of Rights guarantees certain liberties\, free speech and press\, peaceable assembly\, the right to bear arms and be free from unlawful searches and seizures\, among them. But during times of war\, and even times of peace\, the government’s war-making power may trample on individual rights in order to protect the nation. How do we strike a balance between liberty and security? Does the end justify the means\, or can the government’s tactics violate privacy and freedom? Join us for a FRANK Talk about national security and liberty. \nClick here to learn more about FRANK Talks.
