Hops\, specifically\, play an outsized role in determining its flavor and aroma. \n\n\n\nIn her new book\, Beer Ghosts: In Search of Lost Hops and the Women Who Grew Them\, Jennifer Jordan takes us back to a brief but pivotal moment in the 19th century when Wisconsin produced much of the hops grown in the U.S. \n\n\n\nThose hops are not the only ghosts in Jordan’s story; haunting her book’s pages are the young women whose harvest work was key to the American beer industry’s rise. Jordan excavates archival materials and physical landscapes to investigate histories that may not always be immediately visible. \n\n\n\nThis event is organized by UWM Archives and Special Collections. It is co-promoted by the Center for 21st Century Studies as part of C21’s UWM Authors in Conversation initiative. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Jennifer A. Jordan is professor of sociology\, urban studies\, and history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She is the author of Structures of Memory: Understanding Urban Change in Berlin and Beyond and Edible Memory: The Lure of Heirloom Tomatoes and other Forgotten Foods\, the latter also published by the University of Chicago Press. She lives in Milwaukee\, where she and her husband grow hops in their backyard.  URL:https://uwm.edu/c21/event/beer-ghosts/ LOCATION:American Geographical Society Library\, 2311 E Hartford Ave\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture,Arts and Culture,Co-Promotional,Faculty and Staff,Faculty and Staff,Lecture,Lectures Conferences and Symposiums,Public,Public,UWM Authors in Conversation,UWM Campus Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uwm.edu/c21/wp-content/uploads/sites/359/2026/10/Books-and-Author-Portraits-4.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="UW-Milwaukee Archives &%3B Special Collections":MAILTO:askarch@uwm.edu X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261101T235900 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261101T235900 DTSTAMP:20260813T191852Z CREATED:20260813T191852Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260813T191852Z UID:10000912-1793577540-1793577540@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Graduate Public Humanities Programming Application Deadline DESCRIPTION:About\n\n\n\n\nDEADLINE: November 1\, 2026\, 11:59 PM\n\n\n\nAPPLY NOW\n\n\n\n\nMaster’s and Doctoral students in any discipline at UW-Milwaukee are invited to propose an event or program to the Center for 21st Century Studies for the Spring 2027 semester. Selected submissions will be developed in collaboration with C21 staff and will be provided with a working budget of $1\,000. This event programming offers a hands-on opportunity that will make a strong addition to any graduate CV. Applications may be submitted by individual students or groups. C21 reserves the right to have final approval of all projects.  \n\n\n\nC21 is seeking proposals that take up the theme of Slow Action – a mode of engagement that purposefully resists the logic of zero-sum efficiency in favor of durable\, values-rooted ways of being and doing together. The theme invites graduates to investigate critical questions surrounding forms of action that are not rigid or unchangeable but rather are flexible\, responsive\, and deeply attuned to the world we each move through. While strikes\, protests\, and other visible forms of collective action capture immediate public attention\, they are made possible only by the slower\, less visible work of building trust\, forming coalitions\, and sustaining shared commitments across time. It is this foundational labor – patient\, relational\, and often unrecognized – that Slow Action seeks to illuminate. \n\n\n\nAll project proposals MUST include a public-facing component or other tangible final deliverable that will be enacted\, presented\, or disseminated on C21’s Day of Action\, a day of events celebrating the Slow Action theme\, slated for April or early May 2027. (Currently\, planned offerings for the Day of Action include a panel discussion\, an artist-led workshop\, a curated story slam\, and an afterparty.) \n\n\n\nProposals MUST: \n\n\n\n\nBe rooted in\, or linked to\, humanities practices\n\n\n\nInclude a component that is accessible to the public\n\n\n\nBe achievable by May 28\, 2027 (including time for any post-production) with a $1k budget\n\n\n\nRelate to the Slow Action theme\n\n\n\nInclude a public-facing component or other tangible final deliverable that will be presented or disseminated on C21’s Day of Action\n\n\n\nComply with UWM rules\, regulations\, and spending restrictions\n\n\n\n\nProposals MAY NOT: \n\n\n\n\nRequest additional funding for a current C21-sponsored Collaboratory or Working Group\n\n\n\nAllocate funding for activities taking place after May 28\, 2026\n\n\n\nSolely support professional development activities for an individual (e.g. travel to a conference\, professional certifications\, etc)\n\n\n\nPrimarily support research or projects conceived and organized by UWM faculty or staff\n\n\n\n\nPossible deliverables might include (but are not limited to): \n\n\n\n\nA one-off event or performance that occurs on the Day of Action \n\n\n\nSeries of community-driven and/or publicly engaged events with one component that occurs on the Day of Action \n\n\n\nSeries of academic events with one component that occurs on the Day of Action \n\n\n\nVisual art exhibition with open hours during the Day of Action\, or a catalog that is distributed on the Day of Action\n\n\n\nOriginal research\, writing\, or other publication that aligns with Slow Action\, to be presented or distributed on the Day of Action   \n\n\n\nAn experimental educational toolkit that aligns with Slow Action\, distributed on the Day of Action \n\n\n\nA digital humanities project\, such as a short documentary\, multimedia publication\, interactive map\, or online archive that aligns with Slow Action that can be accessed on the Day of Action \n\n\n\n\nIn addition to funding\, C21 will provide administrative oversight for Day of Action\, and can provide some additional assistance coordinating logistics\, making connections\, communicating about your project\, and limited graphic design support. Any events produced for your project will be included in C21’s event calendar and promoted as a C21-supported program. C21 can also provide a dedicated working space for programming endeavors\, which may include private office space and/or access to one of three reservable meeting spaces. \n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT HOW TO APPLY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation Session\n\n\n\nC21 Leadership Team will host a hybrid information session on Friday\, September 25\, 10:30-11:30 AM \n\n\n\n\nIn person: 939 Curtin Hall\n\n\n\nRegister here for a remote option on Teams\n\n\n\nThis session will cover information on the Slow Action theme\, the Day of Action\, programming\, tips on writing a strong application\, and frequently asked questions.   \n\n\n\nAttending the information session is not required to apply\, but is highly encouraged.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?\n\n\n\nC21 strongly encourages questions and inquiries in advance of submissions. \n\n\n\n\nPlease contact C21 Graduate Fellow Chloe Kwiatkowski kwiatk52@uwm.edu with questions.

Downer Ave.\n\n\n\nPrior registration required.\n\n\n\n\nScholars are frequently called upon to share their expertise with a diverse range of publics outside the confines of academia—from policymakers to civic organizations to the media. A critical part of this public engagement—and the place where it often begins—is the publication of a book with a “trade press” (i.e.\, a commercial\, non-university/academic publisher\, with a powerful marketing and publicity apparatus). Not all academics have a desire to do this kind of work. However\, for those who do want to engage with the “public sphere”\, there is often confusion about where to begin\, and a lack of resources to help with the process. Worse\, there are sometimes institutional disincentives\, in the form of tenure clocks\, skepticism from colleagues\, or the pressure to produce “real scholarship” that advances the field. \n\n\n\nThis “Scholars to Storytellers” workshop with John Ghazvinian is designed for scholars interested in better understanding the process of finding new opportunities\, writing in a more accessible register\, and other skills related to making the transition into writing for the general public. \n\n\n\nLearn more about Scholars to Storytellers. \n\n\n\n\nAbout John Ghazvinian\nJohn Ghazvinian is an author\, historian and former journalist\, specializing in the history of US-Iran relations. His latest book\, America and Iran: A History\, 1720 to the Present (Knopf\, 2021)\, is a comprehensive survey of the bilateral relationship\, based on years of archival research in both Iran and the United States. He is also author of Untapped: The Scramble for Africa’s Oil (Harcourt\, 2007)\, as well as coeditor of American and Muslim Worlds before 1900 (Bloomsbury\, 2020). He has written for such publications as Newsweek\, the New York Times\, The Nation\, the Washington Post\, the Sunday Times and the Huffington Post\, and has taught modern Middle East history at a number of colleges and universities in the Philadelphia area. He earned his doctorate in history at Oxford University\, and was the recipient of a “Public Scholar” fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2016-2017\, as well as a fellowship from the Carnegie Corporation’s special initiative on Islam in 2009-2010. \n\n\n\nGhazvinian previously taught at the University of Pennsylvania\, where he served as Associate Director (2018-2020) and Executive Director (2020-2025) of the Middle East Center. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to UWM faculty\, staff\, and graduate students.

Milwaukee is one of America’s most segregated cities\, yet within its boundaries\, a vibrant Muslim community is reshaping narratives and embodied practices of belonging\, civic engagement\, and urban placemaking. While considerable scholarship on Muslim Americans has concentrated on larger metropolitan centers like New York\, Los Angeles\, and Chicago\, or on Detroit’s historic Arab neighborhoods\, this book turns our attention to an understudied city where Muslim communities are small but rapidly growing\, and where their experiences unfold within distinct local landscapes of race\, segregation\, and opportunity. \n\n\n\nDrawing on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork\, surveys\, and extensive interviews with community members\, students\, artists\, activists\, and leaders\, the authors examine how local political\, economic\, and historical structures shape Muslim American experiences and civic participation\, situating their analysis within the dual dynamics of belonging on one hand and exclusion and discrimination on the other. \n\n\n\nThis event is organized by UWM Geography as part of the department’s Fall 2026 Colloquia series. It is co-promoted by the Center for 21st Century Studies as part of C21’s UWM Authors in Conversation initiative. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Authors\n\n\n\nAuthors Anna Mansson McGinty\, Caroline Seymour-Jorn\, and Kristin M. Sziarto make up the Muslim Milwaukee Project\, a C21-sponsored collaborative group that aims to further understanding of the Muslim communities in the Milwaukee area\, to highlight the diversity of identities and experiences and challenge anti-Muslim racism\, and to build networks among scholars\, artists\, and community members who share these goals.  \n\n\n\nAnna Mansson McGinty is associate professor of geography and women’s and gender studies at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. She is the author of Becoming Muslim: Western Women’s Conversions to Islam. \n\n\n\nCaroline Seymour-Jorn is professor of global studies and comparative literature at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. She is the author of Cultural Criticism in Egyptian Women’s Writing and Creating Spaces of Hope. \n\n\n\nKristin M.

C21 centers the humanities in its belief that innovation comes from diversity of opinions\, disciplines\, and experiences.  \n\n\n\nTheme\n\n\n\nC21 has identified PUBLIC GOOD as the theme that informs our offerings for the next three years (2027-2030). We will explore efforts to define and defend as well as to challenge and restrict shared resources\, common infrastructures\, and collective responsibilities\, questioning the meanings of “public” and “good” as founded on exclusion as much as inclusion and shaped by shifting concepts of citizenship\, community\, and obligation. With privatization\, individualism\, and short-term self-interest increasingly determining our current social\, political\, and ecological landscapes\, this theme asks what it means to share things in common with others and to reimagine the possibilities of collective life\, while simultaneously reckoning with competing histories of who defines and deserves access to the common and the collective\, and on whose terms that access is granted or denied. The theme is intentionally broad to capture a wide range of scholarship and practice while encouraging innovative methodologies.     \n\n\n\nC21’s 2027-2028 programming focuses on PUBLIC GOOD: EDUCATION. What does it mean to define education as a public good? Who counts as public\, and what counts as good? C21 takes up these questions while considering the contested histories of access alongside changing ideas of who and what education serves. We will also consider how the humanities in particular position education beyond workforce preparedness to include the cultivation of civic responsibility and the capacity to interpret\, deliberate\, and speculate with others about the world around us\, as well as to reimagine more capacious forms of education than the institutionalized ones that we have inherited.  \n\n\n\nWe welcome multiple interpretations of this open topic\, including broader explorations of “public” and “good” as they relate to pressing issues of our time and/or work inside and outside the university. Applicants can choose to apply with projects that align with education as a subtheme\, or that relate to the overarching theme of public good.  \n\n\n\nResearch Projects\n\n\n\nApplicants should propose a research project related to this thematic area.  Projects can be individual or collaborative.  Examples of projects include: \n\n\n\n\nResearching / preparing material for public presentation in a wide variety of forms including (but not limited to) monographs\, essays\, podcasts\, performances; art installation/exhibits\, community programs; digital interfaces; archives or artifacts.    \n\n\n\nResearching for / development of large-scale collaborative projects (grant proposals\, building networks etc.).   \n\n\n\nResearching / preparing syllabi for innovative\, interdisciplinary team-teaching initiatives or credit-bearing programs such as certificates\, minors\, degrees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTERMS & HOW TO APPLY URL:https://uwm.edu/c21/event/rfdeadlineay28/ LOCATION:Wisconsin CATEGORIES:Academic Dates and Deadlines,Academic Dates and Deadlines,Arts and Culture,Arts and Culture,Career and Leadership Development,Career and Leadership Development,Graduate Students,SLOW,Students,Students ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uwm.edu/c21/wp-content/uploads/sites/359/2026/10/AY28-Call-for-RF-Tile_red.jpg X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261207T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261207T180000 DTSTAMP:20261012T182251Z CREATED:20261012T182250Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261012T182251Z UID:10000925-1796659200-1796666400@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Book Talk:  Uncanny Revivals: Designing an American Identity  DESCRIPTION:December 7th\, 4:00 PM\n\n\n\nCurtin 939\n\n\n\nFree & open to the public\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUncanny Revival: Designing an American Identity is an examination of how immersive colonial revival projects contributed to the formation of a White nationalist identity by inviting viewers to step into the past. \n\n\n\nFrom 1930 to 1950\, a number of design projects in the United States appeared to bring early American history to life. Sites and artworks such as Colonial Williamsburg\, the Winterthur Museum\, the Index of American Design\, and Narcissa Niblack Thorne’s miniature period rooms created immersive fantasies of the past in which visitors seemed to have direct contact with the look and feel of history. Accessible and entertaining for general audiences\, these popular projects also had the unsettling effect of naturalizing political ideologies of racial inequality. \n\n\n\nK. L. H. Wells examines the ways that colonial revival design produced new racial identifications in which the nation’s European immigrant communities and “old stock” Americans transformed from being seen as individual groups differentiated by region\, ethnicity\, and class to a White race with shared ties to early American history. Drawing on an astonishing breadth of archival sources—including letters from designers and audiences\, working drawings and documentary photographs\, government and corporate reports\, magazine articles and newspaper reviews\, and exhibition catalogues and guidebooks—Wells offers a revelatory look at how the affective dimensions of visual and material cultures in colonial revival design contributed to the making of twentieth-century American whiteness. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of C21’s UWM Authors in Conversation initiative. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Authors\n\n\n\nK. L. H. Wells is associate professor of American art and architecture in the Department of Art History at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.

Come to listen – or throw your name in the hat for a chance to share a true story related to the theme of Apologies. At the end of the night\, the audience votes by secret ballot to crown an Audience Favorite\, who will be invited to share a story at ALL STARS in May. \n\n\n\nThe audience can also be a part of the storytelling by submitting UltraShorts! These are handwritten “ultra-short” stories on the night’s theme that will be read onstage by the emcee. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSince 2009\, Ex Fabula has been connecting community through the art of true\, personal storytelling. Ex Fabula\, which is Latin for “from stories”\, presents storytelling workshops\, StorySlams and Community Collaborations where people listen to each other\, feel heard\, and grow in empathy and understanding. \n\n\n\nEx Fabula is part of the C21-Sponsored Brave Apologies Collaboratory\, which creates multiple slow spaces to explore repair bravely. A small group of practitioners meet at least once a month to read together\, discuss\, and plan related events. Through moderated discussions and StorySlams\, these activities will culminate in a curated StorySlam of apology stories on the Day of Action. The goal is to plant the seeds of repair in the community by allowing participants to develop this skill in a brave space. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHuman Club is a Center for 21st Century Studies initiative that offers human-friendly humanities gatherings and free field trips around Milwaukee.
