SUMMARY:Book Talk: Mountain Dharma by David DiValerio
DESCRIPTION:C21’s Critical Asian Humanities Reading Group presents a book talk by UWM History professor David DiValerio about his newly published book Mountain Dharma. \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\nThursday\, October 2\, 3:30 PM\n\n\n\n939 Curtin Hall\, 3243 N Downer Ave\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Mountain Dharma: Meditative Retreat and the Tibetan Ascetic Self\n\n\n\nA groundbreaking exploration of individual long-term meditative retreat in Tibetan Buddhism\, Mountain Dharma tracks developments in ascetic discourse and practice from the twelfth century to the twentieth. David M. DiValerio provides a comprehensive reading of texts that offer instruction on the eremitic endeavor\, comparing how dozens of authors have treated six key orienting concerns: place\, people\, food\, sources of danger\, the spiritual lineage\, and time. The book traces a genealogy of the Tibetan ascetic self\, demonstrating an increasing tendency to adopt practices that contrast the meditator with earlier generations of enlightened masters\, defining the latter-day retreatant as a being in time. By viewing instructions for how to live in retreat as technologies of self\, this book sheds new light on how the history of this tradition has been driven by evolving notions of personhood. \n\n\n\nMethodologically innovative and richly sourced\, Mountain Dharma sets a new standard for the historical study of asceticism. \n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nDavid M. DiValerio is associate professor of history and religious studies at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. He is the author of The Holy Madmen of Tibet (2015) and translator of The Life of the Madman of Ü (2016).

SUMMARY:Story Cart: Attention with Madeleine Doelker Berlin – Open Attention Walk 
DESCRIPTION:In the middle of a neighborhood block party\, we’ll send people on undirected wanders. If they come back\, we’ll ask them how it went. \n\n\n\nMadeleine will be taking interviews from 2:00 – 5:00 PM. \n\n\n\nC21 will be present to vibe and distribute C21 info from 1:00 – 7:00 PM. \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMadeleine Doelker Berlin (LPC-IT) is an Associate Licensed Professional Counselor\, Social Scientist\, and a few other things—like an immigrant\, a parent\, and someone who’s lived through big transitions. Born\, raised\, and partially professionally trained in Germany\, she has a background in social inequality research and a professional path that weaves through mental health\, public service\, and community advocacy. In both her life and work\, Madeleine brings an intersectional\, systems-aware lens to understanding how people move through the world. Her current work draws on liberation psychology\, existentialist psychology\, and feminist psychology to explore how personal healing is connected to social context\, meaning-making\, and resistance. She’s especially interested in the stories we carry\, the cultures that shape us\, and the quiet\, radical act of paying attention. Madeleine holds graduate degrees in Social Sciences and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her approach is grounded\, curious\, and deeply human. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeet Street Fall Festival is the Cactus Club’s annual\, all-ages block party\, featuring bands on an open-air stage and community organizations and local vendors along the streets.   \n\n\n\nStory Cart is a mobile story collection program that travels to community spaces and engages Milwaukeeans in conversations about their lived experiences. Our Story Fellows craft questions related to the current C21 research theme\, record participant responses to those questions\, and add them to our Story Cart digital archive (forthcoming). Supported by the Wisconsin Institute for Citizenship and Civil Dialogue\, Story Cart’s current run introduces Milwaukeeans to practices of radical attention. From September 2025 through May 2026\, our community Story Fellows will lead workshop pop-ups throughout the city and will record discussions with participants about the experience of paying attention.
