SUMMARY:Listening for ‘Undesirables’ and Other Archival Voices
DESCRIPTION:A workshop with Dr. Jennifer Boittin\, Professor of Global History\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. \nJennifer Boittin is the Frank Porter Graham Distinguished Professor of Global History at UNC. She received her PhD in History from Yale University and was previously a professor at Penn State University. Her research and teaching look at how colonial spaces in West Africa\, Southeast Asia\, North Africa\, and the French Caribbean were shaped by intersections between class\, politics\, and urban culture around the world wars and decolonization. Completed in part thanks to a Paris Institute for Advanced Studies fellowship\, her second book is entitled Undesirable: Passionate Mobility and Women’s Defiance of French Colonial Policing\, 1919-1952 (2022\, University of Chicago Press). Undesirable tells the virtually unknown history of hundreds of women in Southeast Asia (French Indochina) and West Africa (AOF) tracked by authorities because they were traveling alone and claiming Frenchness. Drawn from Cambodian\, French\, and Senegalese archives\, Undesirable’s focus on how ordinary people react to being policed gives historical depth to pressing contemporary issues of migration and violence in France today and of similar reckonings on a global scale.

SUMMARY:Struggle for the City: Rhetorics of Citizenship and Resistance in the Black Freedom Movement
DESCRIPTION:The UW System Faculty Lecture Series and The Center for 21st Century Studies at UWM present Derek Handley. Register for this online event to receive the link. A clickable link is below in the website section or copy and paste: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/uw-system-faculty-lecture-series-derek-handley-tickets-1043213679197 \nThe urban renewal policies of the 1950s and 1960s destroyed the economic centers of many Black neighborhoods in the United States. Struggle for the City recovers the agency and solidarity of African American residents confronting this diagnosis of “blight.”  This presentation discusses how African American residents in the Hill District of Pittsburgh\, the Bronzeville neighborhood of Milwaukee\, and the Rondo neighborhood of St. Paul enacted Black Rhetorical Citizenship to fight for their communities. By centering the residents in their own narratives of displacement\, this presentation demonstrates how local organizers\, leaders\, and residents used rhetorics of placemaking\, community organizing\, and critical memory to resist the bulldozing visions of urban renewal.  \nDerek G. Handley is an assistant professor in the English Department\, affiliated faculty in African and African Diaspora Studies department\, and affiliated faculty in the Urban Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  He is co-director of the Mapping Racism and Resistance in Milwaukee County (MRR-MKE) project\, which comprehensively maps racial covenants and uncovers Black resistance to such discrimination.  \nThe UW System Lecture Series is co-hosted by C21 and UW-Madison’s Center for the Humanities and highlights faculty research across the Universities of Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Studying Successful Doctoral Students from Underrepresented Groups
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we will share early findings from an NSF study of 75 doctoral students and recent PhDs in mathematics from underrepresented groups. The project has conducted in-depth\, semi-structured interviews with four cohorts: newly accepted students\, early graduate students (pre-qualifying exams)\, advanced graduate students (dissertation level)\, and recent PhDs (0-5 years since graduation). The research questions in the study are: \nWhat are lived experiences of successful underrepresented students who are pursuing mathematics PhDs?\nWhat formal and informal structures are perceived by doctoral students as effective supports? \nThemes drawn from the interviews can inform department policies and practices to create environments that support students from underrepresented groups as they earn PhDs in mathematics. \nPresented by Dr. Sarah Sword\nPrincipal Research Scientist\nEducation Development Center\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, February 15th\, 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM Where: 3209 N Maryland Ave\, Lapham Hall\, Milwaukee\, WI\, 53211 Darwin Day is a community science outreach event celebrating the life and times of one of the most brilliant and influential Victorian naturalists\, Charles R. Darwin. Darwin was an avid geologist and biologist who most famously developed the theory of natural selection—one of the driving mechanisms behind biological evolution—published in his seminal work: On the Origin of Species. Today\, this theory forms the foundation for many of our natural sciences. Darwin Day is a national celebration of Darwin’s scientific legacy typically held on (or near) his birthday. Darwin Day is a free event and open to guests of all ages. Many wonderful geological and biological specimens will be available to observe\, with volunteers on hand to explain their fascinating histories. Learning tables focusing on the natural history of Wisconsin and the contributions of Thomas A. Greene to our understanding of local Wisconsin geology will be spread throughout Lapham Hall\, with many rare and beautiful samples on display from the Thomas A. Greene geological collection. Other activities will be available throughout the day\, including presentations by UWM scientists and guest speakers\, a scavenger hunt\, activities for kids\, and booths featuring many community organizations.

SUMMARY:LACUSL Speaker Series: Prof. Jessica Nelson
DESCRIPTION:“Remembered in Our Prayers”: Colonial Mexico\, Philanthropy\, and Public History\nMonday\, March 31st\, 2025 \n3:00-4:00 PM \nAGSL (UWM Libraries\, 3rd floor)\nUW-Milwaukee\nDr. Jessica Nelson\nVisiting Assistant Professor of History\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nIn colonial Oaxaca\, Mexico\, the spiritual and material economies were closely intertwined. Fundraising\, sponsorships\, and other obra pias (charitable works) covered the cost of endeavors like paying the dowries of orphaned girls\, or constructing a convent for Indigenous women. Centuries later\, not all of these projects have been remembered equally. Some made permanent changes to the urban landscape and are still discussed today; others have been essentially forgotten.

SUMMARY:Jodi Eichler-Levine "Bezalel's Daughters: How Jewish Women Make Objects"
DESCRIPTION:Without Jewish American women\, we would have no Barbie dolls\, far less modern art\, and less-interesting ritual objects. Through the stories of women artists\, crafters\, and other creators\, this talk sheds light on Jewish American life by focusing on how people create objects and how those objects\, in turn\, shape the people who create and make use of them. \nJodi Eichler-Levine is the Philip and Muriel Berman Professor of Jewish Civilization and a professor in the department of Religion\, Culture\, & Society at Lehigh University. She is the author\, most recently\, of “Painted Pomegranates and Needlepoint Rabbis: How Jews Craft Resilience and Create Community.” Her work has also appeared in “The Washington Post\,” “CNN\,” “Salon\,” and other popular publications. Her teaching and research explore the intersections between Jewish American history and religious life in the United States more broadly. She directs the Berman Center for Jewish Studies at Lehigh and serves on the board of the Association for Jewish Studies. \nThursday\, April 3\n7:00–8:30pm\nCurtin Hall 175 and Zoom \nThis is a hybrid event. Zoom attendance requires pre-registration: http://bit.ly/EichlerLevine \nFree & Open to the Public. Parking is available in the UWM Student Union parking structure\, or on the street.

SUMMARY:Digital Geographies & the City: Methodologies of Hope
DESCRIPTION:Department of Geography’s Harold and Florence Mayer Lecture\nDigital Geographies & the City: Methodologies of Hope \nProfessor Sarah Elwood (Department of Geography\, University of Washington) \nApril 11\, 2025\n2:30-3:30pm\nAGSL \nDigital Geographies & The City: Methodologies of Hope\nIn many places\, digitally-mediated urbanism is ubiquitous\, violent and unequal\, as technocapitalist development processes and the platformization of everyday life produce racialized removal\, surveillance\, impoverishment\, illegalization\, even premature death – structural harms for which critical social science research has a well-developed conceptual-epistemological apparatus. Here\, I make the case for an intentional turn toward methodologies of hope\, a re-orientation toward apprehending creative politics that advance sociospatial relations of emplacement\, collectivity\, accountability\, mutuality and thriving. I explore digital and emplaced tactics of mutual aid\, direct action\, and insurgent visual politics created by Stop the Sweeps\, a horizontal network of local collectivities fighting public eviction of tent encampments of unsheltered people in cities and towns across the US. \nHope is an animating force underlying these digital\, material and ideological pathways toward staying put and living well in the city\, yet ironically\, hope is largely absent from the theoretical-epistemological fabric of ‘critical’ social science research on digital cities. I argue for abundance-oriented analyses of the urban politics being forged by precarious communities and their allies\, showing how this shift opens a vital window onto complex networks of solidarity and mutual support that are generating profound challenges to the circuits of harm that define life in the digital city. \n

SUMMARY:C21 Spring Lecture with Kyle Whyte: Kinship\, Our Experience of Time\, and Environmental Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:We are often given mixed signals about the relationship between our responsibility to take action to address climate change and our sense of time. Is there a climate crisis that is so urgent that we must take whatever measures are necessary to lower carbon footprints? Or will buying too much into emotions of urgency generate hasty solutions that actually stymie progress? Some Indigenous traditions offer ethics based on responsibility and kinship that present ways in which time and ethics can be aligned\, allowing us to be urgent but moral\, and address the physical causes of climate change while fostering solidarity with the communities who experience climate injustice. \nDr. Whyte’s research addresses moral and political issues concerning climate policy and Indigenous peoples\, the ethics of cooperative relationships between Indigenous peoples and science organizations\, and problems of Indigenous justice in public and academic discussions of food sovereignty\, environmental justice\, and the anthropocene. He is an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. \nThe Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) fosters innovative research and community engagement at the intersection of the humanities\, arts\, and sciences. C21’s theme for 2024-2025 is Slow Knowing: The Pace of Being Human\, with programming and sponsored research that calls attention to embodied processes of building and maintaining collective life that resist the fast-paced efficiency models and short attention spans that increasingly define human responses to 21st century social\, political\, and ecological challenges. \nDoors open at 5:00pm. Refreshments will be served before and after the talk. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Prior registration is requested. \nFor more information and a registration link\, visit: https://uwm.edu/c21/event/slow-knowing-kyle-whyte/

In the year that’s passed since that report’s publication\, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting lost its federal funding\, the National Endowment for the Humanities was radically restructured\, causing state humanities agencies to lose funding to the point of near closure\, and multiple U.S. universities have taken steps to shrink\, pause\, or shutter humanities degree-granting programs. \nBut the resilience of humanities practices and institutions in the face of so much uncertainty evinces their value\, and merits further dialogue. \nThe State of the Humanities MKE panel\, moderated by C21 Director Jennifer Johung\, invites four Milwaukee-based humanities advocates—Michael Carriere (MSOE)\, Art Derse (MCW)\, Jodi Eastberg (MIAD)\, and Maggie Nettesheim Hoffmann (Marquette)—to discuss: \n\nWhat’s important about the humanities in Milwaukee\, especially in our current moment?\nWhat are we fighting to sustain\, expand\, or ideate?\nHow can we care for the humanities in MKE? What does this look like?\n\nAfter the panel\, guests are invited to head upstairs to C21’s headquarters for a reception and small breakout discussions about actionable steps everyone can take to make Milwaukee a haven for humanists. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Space is limited. Prior registration is required. \n\nAbout the Panelists\nMichael H.

SUMMARY:Rebellious Stripes: The American Flag in Activist Art\, 1960–2025
DESCRIPTION:The American flag originated as an act of protest. That status intensified in the second half of the twentieth century\, as protest movements have used and manipulated the flag in provocative ways. Activists and artists have continued to mobilize the flag in pursuit of a variety of objectives\, prompting intense public and legal debates about what the flag is (materially)\, what it represents (symbolically)\, and how it can or should be used. Rebellious Stripes: The American Flag in Activist Art\, 1960-2025 explores the use of the American flag in activist artworks focused on political figures\, racial equality\, anti-imperialism\, and social and economic justice. It draws primarily from the UWM Art Collection\, with additions from the UWM Libraries’ Special Collections and Archives\, and two Universities of Wisconsin faculty-artists. Collectively\, the objects in Rebellious Stripes demonstrate the ongoing battle for control of the American flag as people across the political spectrum employ it to signal a range of messages beyond ‘patriotism.\n\nThe Mathis Gallery is open from 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM M-Th and by appointment.

SUMMARY:Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Artists Sasha Stiles and Nathaniel Stern install their show Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies for a week-long run at Kenilworth Square East Gallery from February 12 to 20. \nAI is a transformational force in human history\, akin to the rise of language itself\, the printing press or our harnessing of electricity\, unlocking new realms of imagination and awareness. Yet its discourse is fraught with fear\, misunderstanding\, and disconnection. By blending Artificial Intelligence with more traditional artistic expression\, Generation to Generation: Conversing with Kindred Technologies cultivates new pathways for imagination while nurturing the roots of our creative inheritance\, and the always-evolving dialogue between art and innovation.    \nThis groundbreaking exhibition illuminates the intertwined evolution of humanity and technology\, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationship between humans and the tools we invent through an immersive fusion of sculptures\, prints\, electronics\, music\, movement\, and poetry\, all born from creative collaboration with AI.   \nThis exhibition is part of the Center for 21st Century Studies’ Aesthetics\, Art\, & AI series\, produced in collaboration with the Center for the Humanities at UW-Madison\, with support from the Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI). \nDate & Time\nFebruary 12–20\, 2026\nWednesday–Fridays (2–7 p.m.)\, Saturdays (11 a.m.–3 p.m.)\nOpening: Thursday\, February 12 (5–7 p.m.)

SUMMARY:5th Annual Darwin Day
DESCRIPTION:Darwin Day is a public outreach event celebrating the life and times of one of the most brilliant and influential Victorian naturalists\, Charles R. Darwin. Darwin was an avid geologist and biologist who most famously developed the theory of natural selection—one of the driving mechanisms behind biological evolution—published in his seminal work: On the Origin of Species. Today\, this theory forms the foundation for many of our natural sciences. Darwin Day is a national celebration of Darwin’s scientific legacy typically held on (or near) his birthday. \nThis event is free and open to guests of all ages. Many wonderful geological and biological specimens will be available to observe\, with volunteers on hand to explain their fascinating histories. Learning tables will focus on the natural history of Wisconsin and the contributions of the Thomas A. Greene to our understanding of local geology\, with many rare and beautiful samples on display in the Greene Geological Museum. Other activities will be available throughout the day\, including scientific lectures presented by UWM scientists and guest speakers\, coloring and crafts for young kids\, and free planetarium shows. See the activities list and schedule of events on our webpage for more information. \nWe can’t wait to see you there!

SUMMARY:Borges\, Joyce\, and the Not-Quite-First Spanish-Language Review of Ulysses
DESCRIPTION:Jorge Luis Borges famously claimed himself to be the first hispano to embark upon the odyssey of reading and reviewing James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922). Along with his 1925 review\, he also translated the last two pages of the novel\, Molly Bloom’s sensation-creating\, stream-of-consciousness monologue. Perhaps starstruck by the legendary pairing of two of the twentieth century’s most influential authors\, many scholars have taken his claim as indisputable evidence that Borges single-handedly introduced Joyce to Latin America\, and of the enduring impact of his translation. This talk will reveal that the true story of Joyce’s introduction to Spanish language readers is both more complex and more interesting than the one traditionally told. \nDr. Leah Leone Anderson is a Visiting Scholar with UWM’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Her book\, Borges’s Creative Infidelities: Translating Joyce\, Woolf and Faulkner (2024) was made possible with CLACS’s support. Her current research focuses on the work of Argentine critic\, translator\, and memoirist María Rosa Oliver (1898-1977). \n

SUMMARY:Jennifer Caplan\, “Funny\, You Don’t Look Funny: Jews\, Comedy\, and Gender”
DESCRIPTION:Faye Greenberg Sigman “Woman of Valor” Lecture\n\nWednesday\, March 18\, 2026 at 7:00 pm\nGolda Meir Library\, 4th Floor\nor via Zoom Register at https://bit.ly/3VmLcxE\n\nThis talk examines trends in the way Jewish institutions have typically “counted” Jewish engagement in the late 20th and 21st centuries and uses those trends to argue that American Judaism looks healthier and more robust if we think differently about engagement. Humor\, it turns out\, is not only a valid way to approach this revisioning\, but also one of the best ways to highlight positive trends in American Jewish identification. Rather than relying on older “continuity-based” models of what Judaism needs to do to survive that put disproportionate pressure (and blame) on Jewish women\, acontemporary Jewish humor reimagines many aspects of Jewish life—including Jewish gender tropes—and offers younger generations a vision of Jewishness they want to embrace.\n\nJennifer Caplan is The Jewish Foundation Chair of Cincinnati Chair in Judaic Studies at University of Cincinnati. She is the author of Funny\, You Don’t Look Funny: Judaism and Comedy from the Silent Generation to Millennials (2023) and co-editor of Wit Happens: Global Jewish Humor (2026). She publishes broadly on Judaism and popular culture with a focus on gender and representation and is currently working on Unmasked: Jewish Characters in DC and Marvel. \nMade by possible by the generosity of the Taxman and Temkin families.\nCosponsored by UWM’s Departments of English and Women’s and Gender Studies. \n

SUMMARY:Marden Lecture Series Presents: Juggling Counts
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Prof. Steve Butler\, Morrill\, Professor of Mathematics at Iowa State University \nMathematics is a language which can help us describe and explore patterns. One source of patterns that mathematicians have been exploring comes from juggling (the tossing of objects\, usually balls or clubs). We will look at multiple ways to describe juggling patterns that allow us to find new juggling patterns\, and to count how many possible patterns exist. We can compare answers to various problems to give a combinatorial proof of Worpitzky’s identity. We will also look at a few juggling-based problems that mathematics has not yet succeeded in answering. \nThis event is a part of the Marden Lecture Series\, each Spring the Department of Mathematical Sciences invites a distinguished mathematician to lecture to a general audience. The Marden Lecture honors Morris Marden (1905 – 1991)\, who founded our graduate program and made our department a research department. The Marden lecture is funded through the Miriam and Morris Marden Fund and is co-sponsored by the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

SUMMARY:Dean's Distinguished Lecture in the Natural Sciences: Artificial Intelligence\, Citizen Science and the Future of Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Ian Owens\nThursday\, April 9\, 2026\n5:00-6:00 pm\, Reception to Follow\nBall Room – UWM Student Union\n2200 East Kenwood Blvd.\n> RSVP Encouraged\nIt’s an exciting time to be a natural historian! New technologies are revolutionizing how we discover\, monitor\, and conserve nature. Amateur naturalists\, armed with cell phones and Apps\, are collecting data at a rate that would have seemed impossible only a few years ago\, and there is now the prospect of using similar technologies to understand how populations are changing in even the most remote forests and deepest oceans. And tens of millions of people are getting excited about what the spring sounds like. Ian Owens will ask what the next 10 years will look like in this fast-moving area\, drawing on examples from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and other leaders in the field. \n\nIan Owens is a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University. As an ornithologist\, he focuses on the ecology\, evolution\, and conservation of birds\, using their appeal to engage the public in critical scientific and sustainability issues. Since 2021\, he has served as the Louis Agassiz Fuertes Executive Director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology\, a leading scientific institute that integrates major programs in technology\, research\, education\, communication\, and global bird conservation. The Cornell Lab is not only a hub for research and training but also enjoys a prominent public profile as the home of several citizen science projects\, apps\, and websites. Notable initiatives include eBird\, Merlin\, All About Birds\, Bird Cams\, Celebrate Urban Birds\, Birds of the World\, and the Macaulay Library of sound recordings. \n\n

SUMMARY:Dean's Distinguished Lecture in the Humanities: Black City-Builders: Reinforcing the Case for Reparatory Justice in America
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Joe Trotter Jr.\nFriday\, April 17\, 2026\n4:30 – 6:00 p.m.\, Reception to Follow\nAlumni Fireside Lounge – UWM Student Union\n2200 East Kenwood Blvd.\nDr. Joe William Trotter\, Jr. is the Giant Eagle University Professor of History and Social Justice and past History Department Chair at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania. He is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; the director and founder of Carnegie Mellon’s Center for Africanamerican Urban Studies and the Economy (CAUSE) and past president of both the Urban History Association and the Labor and Working Class History Association. \nThis lecture is based upon Dr. Trotter’s recent book\, Building the Black City: The Transformation of American Life (California\, 2024).  While contemporary urban and labor studies acknowledge the impact of Black labor on the built environment of American cities\, both  scholars and the larger public have found it more difficult to conceptualize predominantly poor and working class Black urbanites as “City-Builders.”  Hence\, this talk will underscore how African Americans double-taxed their own labor and built their own city within the city to serve their own needs.  Whereas the case for reparations is usually based on land dispossession\, unpaid and underpaid labor\, this lecture will move the notion of a “Black City” from the periphery to the center of the case for reparatory justice for descendants of African people “enslaved” and later “Jim Crowed” in the United States of America.  As such\, the case for reparations\, he concludes\, must also include a focus on the creativity of Black people as “City-Builders” in their own interests as well as exploited workers. \nThe Dean’s Distinguished Lecture in the Humanities is made possible by generous funding from the Vilas Trust.

SUMMARY:Friends of Art History Guest Lecture - Kim Sajet: What is Art History for?
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we welcome the new Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum! \nSince the dawn of civilization\, people have turned to art to make sense of the world around them. From Pliny the Elder’s account of artistic progress to Xie He’s theory of “spirit resonance” and Giorgio Vasari’s biographical narratives of artistic genius\, writers have theorized and systematized how art develops and why it matters. In 1764\, Johann Joachim Winckelmann first coined the term “history of art\,” helping to formalize the discipline and secure its place within the academy. What began as an effort to elevate the study of art eventually became a marker of cultural refinement. \nYet today\, art history — along with many related humanities disciplines — finds itself increasingly marginalized on university campuses and in public life. Programs shrink\, departments merge\, and scholarship is asked to defend its relevance. If art history is fundamentally the study of visual communication\, why has it struggled to communicate its own purpose? What is art history for? \nIn this talk\, Kim Sajet\, the Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum\, suggests that the answer lies not in defending old hierarchies or rehearsing inherited canons\, but in reimagining the purpose of studying art itself — less as a means of codifying culture or adjudicating status\, and more as a way of creating community and advancing a shared sense of global humanity. \nLecture is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Concurrent Exhibitions in the Emile H. Mathis Art Gallery (3/14-5/17)
DESCRIPTION:The One-Off Print: Monotypes from the UWM Art Collection \nThe monotype is a hybrid printmaking process in which ink is transferred from a flat matrix or printing plate onto a sheet of paper. In other words\, the monotype is a print form without a permanent matrix: it can only be printed once. The One-Off Print\, curated by Art History MA student Emma Erickson\, features monotypes from the UWM Art Collection produced by postwar American artists\, a time when experimental printmaking was on the rise. The exhibition highlights the versatility of the monotype\, a medium that bridges the disciplines of painting\, drawing\, and printmaking. \nWhat Is A Print? \nPrints – images made through a process of transferring ink from one surface to another – have for two millennia been rich sources of expressive exploration and crucial to the global circulation of images. Until the late-twentieth century\, most people experienced visual art primarily through prints. What Is A Print? surveys some of the major print processes represented in the UWM Art Collection\, including seminal printmakers like Albrecht Dürer\, Rembrandt van Rijn\, Francisco Goya\, and Pablo Picasso. By illuminating some of the complex technical details of printmaking\, the exhibition will enable viewers to consider the creative\, technical\, financial\, and social contexts the have shaped its history. \nExhibition run March 16 through May 14\, 2026 \nEmile H. Mathis Art Gallery Location and Hours: \nMitchell Hall 170\n3203 N. Downer Ave.\nMilwaukee\, WI 53211 \nMuseum Hours: Mon – Thurs: 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM\nTo make an appointment to visit the gallery\, please contact the gallery at: mathisartgallery@uwm.edu.

SUMMARY:Book Talkback – Muslims in Milwaukee: Placemaking\, Belonging\, and Activism
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for 21st Century Studies and the Muslim Milwaukee Project for the launch of a new book on the Muslim communities in Milwaukee by UWM professors Anna Mansson McGinty\, Caroline Seymour-Jorn\, and Kristin Sziarto. There will be a panel talkback featuring prominent members of Milwaukee’s Muslim community—Waheed Ahmed\, Othman Atta\, Amal Azzam\, Janan Najeeb\, and Brother Will Perry—moderated by Fahed Masalkhi\, PhD. \n— \nAbout Muslims in Milwaukee: Placemaking\, Belonging\, and Activism\nMuslims in Milwaukee explores the everyday lives\, identities\, and activism of Muslims in a midsized Midwestern city. 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. \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— \nAbout the Islamic Resource Center & Muslim Women’s Coalition\nThe Islamic Resource Center\, a project of Muslim Women’s Coalition\, is Wisconsin’s only Islamic cultural center and lending library. \nThe Muslim Women’s Coalition (MWC) is dedicated to building an equitable and inclusive Wisconsin\, where diversity is celebrated and all individuals are valued. Their mission is to empower Muslim women and girls through education\, leadership\, outreach\, and wellness programs\, helping them reach their fullest potential while creating a positive impact on the broader community. \nFounded in 1994\, MWC began as a local resource organization with the goal of promoting a more accurate understanding of Islam and Muslim women. Over the years\, MWC has remained committed to leading positive community change through advocacy\, dialogue\, education\, and outreach\, using faith-based values to ensure dignity and equity for all.
