SUMMARY:Academic Adventurers Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:A Long\, Strange Trip: Budapest\, Berlin\, Baraboo\, and Points in Between\nJoin University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Professor of Sociology Dr. Jennifer Jordan for her talk “A Long\, Strange Trip: Budapest\, Berlin\, Baraboo\, and Points in Between\,” the latest installment of the Academic Adventurers Lecture Series being held Feb. 11 from 3-4 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library. Jordan will focus on the central role that paper maps have played in charting a path of research over the past thirty-five years of her academic life. These maps helped Jordan find her way in unfamiliar cities\, and also helped her craft in-depth archival research projects resulting in a dissertation\, three books\, and many other publications\, on topics ranging from memory and forgetting in post-1989 Berlin\, to the rise and fall of Wisconsin’s 19th century hop industry. \nUWM’s Academic Adventurers is a continuing series of informal afternoon programs held in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library\, offering members of the UWM community the opportunity to hear of their colleagues’ adventures abroad and afield. \n\nAll programs are free and open to the public. For more information or to arrange for special accommodations\, email agsl@uwm.edu or call 414-229-6282. \nDr. Jennifer Jordan\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Fact\, Fiction\, and Storytelling in the Archive
DESCRIPTION:“Partridge and Frink haven’t been entirely forgotten nor erased like so many others\, but there is still a lack of visibility and understanding about their personal dynamics and professional impact… While doing my research\, I found nearly every component in their papers compelling: more often than not\, a single document prompted an entirely new string of questions…” \n–Faythe Levine\, author of As Ever\, Miriam (2024) \nVisiting author and artist Faythe Levine is motivated by reimagining archives and collections through a queer feminist lens. She will give a visually led talk about her many-year research process\, about her recently published fourth book\, As Ever\, Miriam (2024). This book centers on the relationship and lives of Charlotte Russell Partridge (1882-1975) and Miriam Frink (1892-1978)\, whose papers are housed at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Archives. Through her extensive archival and secondary research involving books\, magazines\, newspapers\, and interviews\, Levine brings readers into the work of connecting archival traces to tell stories about past lives. Frink and Partridge’s impact on Milwaukee’s cultural landscape was unprecedented and remains underrecognized\, and Levine’s lecture will encourage future scholarship and conversations around deeper knowledge of their legacy. \nLevine is currently based in the Hudson Valley in New York. She has been in service to the arts for over twenty years\, many of those during her previous time living in Wisconsin. Her creative labor intersects with curatorial projects\, writing\, documentary film\, and community events. \nDuring the week\, Levine’s day job is the Hauser & Wirth Institute Archivist and Collections Manager for Women’s Studio Workshop\, a residency and artist book publisher that supports women\, trans\, queer\, intersex\, and nonbinary artists. Her position focuses on WSW’s work as a hub for radical thought\, and she manages\, oversees\, and increases public visibility of the archives and special collections through public engagement and exhibitions. \nA related exhibition\, Time is Running Out\, curated by Levine in response to her archival research\, will open at the Lynden Sculpture Garden on November 15\, 2025\, and run through March 14\, 2026. \nBooks can be purchased and signed at the close of the program courtesy of Lion’s Tooth

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence: The History of a Brand
DESCRIPTION:The history of AI is the history of an overhyped intellectual brand that has only very recently come to signify a set of deployable technologies with broad application and clear\, if somewhat horrifying\, purposes. Since its debut in 1955 the AI brand has been attached to a rotating cast of technologies with only loose connections to each other or to cognition\, none of which has yet come close to delivering on the promise of creating computer systems with human-like intelligence. One AI insider characterized the story of AI as “the history of failed ideas.” Yet in the process of failing\, early AI researchers made vital but incidental contributions to the development of computer technology and computer science. In this talk\, Thomas Haigh will explore where the AI brand came from\, why it was so attractive to researchers and sponsors\, and how artificial intelligence institutionalized as a subfield of computer science through research labs\, curricula\, textbooks\, and professional associations. Haigh will also document continuities and discontinuities between our own moment and earlier cycles of AI hype and disillusionment.\n\n\nRegister here: https://uwm.edu/libraries/digital-humanities/dh-lab-events/dh-event-registration-artificial-intelligence-the-history-of-a-brand-2/

SUMMARY:2025 Morris Fromkin Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Register for Event \nGabriela Nagy\, UWM assistant professor of psychology\, will present the 2025 Morris Fromkin Memorial Lecture. The title of her talk is “Resilience\, Resistance\, and Rhetoric:  What Latino/a Immigrants Teach Us About Health and Humanity.” \nThis talk challenges the pervasive deficit lens through which Latino/a immigrants are often viewed\, focusing instead on their remarkable resilience and the protective factors that safeguard their mental and physical health despite chronic stressors\, trauma\, and systemic oppression. It offers insights into how Latino/a cultural values and practices can inform healthier\, more resilient ways of living for all people in the United States. \nAbout the speaker: \n \nGabriela Nagy\, Ph.D.\, is an assistant professor of psychology at UWM. She serves as the principal investigator for the EQUITY Research Group. She is a current research fellow with the UWM Center for 21st Century Studies. She is also an associate editor on the Journal of Health Service Psychology editorial board and a board member of NourishMKE Community Food Centers. \nShe has published extensively in her field with recent articles appearing in Psychology Services\, Behaviour Research and Therapy\, JAMA Health Forum\, Journal of Affective Disorders\, and other journals. \nBefore her appointment in 2022 to the UWM Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences\, Nagy served as assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Duke University School of Medicine and assistant clinical professor in the Duke University School of Nursing. She received her PhD in clinical psychology from UWM in 2017. \nDr. Gabriela Nagy’s research focuses on reducing the mental health care inequities experienced by minoritized communities. In this space\, she has worked most extensively with immigrants and refugees from Latin America. Dr. Nagy’s lab is focused on understanding social and structural factors contributing to health inequities; developing and testing psychosocial interventions to support the health of minority communities; and dissemination and implementation of strategies that hold promise for reducing health inequities. She utilizes community-engaged research methods\, mixed-methods\, and human-centered design approaches. \nPlease contact libadmin@uwm.edu for more information and accommodations.

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion  Thomas Paine's Common Sense (1776)
DESCRIPTION:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion \nThomas Paine’s Common Sense (1976) \nFor the month of October\, we will discuss Thomas Paine‘s wildly influential American revolutionary tract Common Sense\, radically advocating full independence from the British crown. Common Sense has been called “the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era.” \n  \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send me an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). I will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, October 29. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, October 29\, you will receive an email from me with an automatic password-protected URL. Please use that URL to join the session (you will of course need to use a computer with a microphone and a video camera in it — if you want to be seen\, that is). When you join\, you will be placed in a waiting room that I will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those I have emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of our meeting. \nIf you have never participated in an online audio/video meeting before\, when you join you will most likely see a box at the top of your screen asking if you want to open Zoom. After opening\, you will likely be asked to “Join with Computer Audio\,” which of course you will do. When you hover over the screen\, you will see microphone and camera icons at the bottom left that you may use to turn your own sound and video on and off. \nI think that’s all you need to know. I look forward to virtually seeing and hearing you at our discussion! \nThese discussions are free and open to the public\, and I invite you to participate.

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion \nHannah Arendt’s The Human Condition\, Prologue and Chapter 1 (1958)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHannah Arendt\nFor the month of September\, we will discuss the Prologue and first chapter of The Human Condition\, arguably the most influential work of German-American philosopher Hannah Arendt\, one of the most influential political theorists of the twentieth century. \nOur discussion will be held: \nSeptember 24\, 2025\n7:00-9:00 pm\nOn a secure Zoom session (see instructions below). \nHannah Arendt \nThe Human Condition\, Prologue and Chapter 1. (1958) \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected text. Any version of the text may be used. For your convenience a link to the text is provided above. \n  \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send me an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). I will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, September 24. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, September 24\, you will receive an email from me with an automatic password-protected URL. Please use that URL to join the session (you will of course need to use a computer with a microphone and a video camera in it — if you want to be seen\, that is). When you join\, you will be placed in a waiting room that I will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those I have emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of our meeting. \nIf you have never participated in an online audio/video meeting before\, when you join you will most likely see a box at the top of your screen asking if you want to open Zoom. After opening\, you will likely be asked to “Join with Computer Audio\,” which of course you will do. When you hover over the screen\, you will see microphone and camera icons at the bottom left that you may use to turn your own sound and video on and off. \nI think that’s all you need to know. I look forward to virtually seeing and hearing you at our discussion! \nThese discussions are free and open to the public\, and I invite you to participate. \n  \nClick here to view the rest of this year’s scheduled readings.

SUMMARY:2024 Ettinger Book Artist Series Lecture:  Barbara Ciurej & Lindsay Lochman
DESCRIPTION:Collaborative photographers and books artists Barbara Ciurej & Lindsay Lochman have worked together on photographic projects and photo-based artists books for over 40 years. Ciurej is a Chicago-based photographer and graphic designer. Lochman is a Milwaukee-based photographer and former art lecturer at UWM. Together they create narrative works that engage the edge between the heroic and the commonplace through a confluence of history\, myth\, and popular culture. For them\, collaboration opens the possibility of moving beyond personal stories and into the realm of collective experience\, mirroring the fluid and mutable ways of storytelling traditions. \nBarbara Ciurej and Lindsay Lochman will present and discuss their work\, their collaborative process\, and the choice of the book form as one of their primary mediums. \nThe lecture\, free and open to the public\, is supported by the Ettinger Family Foundation. \nThe lecture will be held on Wednesday\, November 20\, 2024 at 6 p.m. in the fourth floor Conference Center of the Golda Meir Library\, 2311 E. Hartford Ave. \nFor more information or accommodations\, email libspecial@uwm.edu. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:2024 Morris Fromkin Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will be presented simultaneously in person and virtually. The Zoom link is here. \nThe 2024 Morris Fromkin Memorial Lecture will be presented by Nan Kim (Associate Professor\, UWM Department of History). \nWhat can offer resources for hope at a time of escalating ecological crisis and alarming nuclear dangers? This talk argues for approaching this question by looking to the historical and contemporary legacies of two vital public intellectuals: Rachel Carson (1907–1964) and Jonathan Schell (1943-2014). Credited with inspiring the modern environmental movement and the nuclear-disarmament movement respectively\, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) and Jonathan Schell’s The Fate of the Earth (1982) were both landmark bestsellers of their time and remain exemplars of moral clarity as powerful interventions concerning critical issues of sweeping real-world impact. \nThis project explores the work of these authors as models of research-based interventions which helped to galvanize collective action for bringing about transformative change in the face of pressing global challenges\, despite profound uncertainty about the future. The talk also revisits the far-reaching influence of these authors’ writings as testament to the power of poetic language for overcoming paralysis and creating a renewed sense of urgency in response to ethical questions of intergenerational social justice. \n\nAbout the speaker: \nNan Kim\, Ph.D.\, is Associate Professor of History & Co-Director of Public History at UWM as well as an Affiliated Professor of Anthropology. She serves as Faculty Lead/PI for the Working Group on STS (Science & Technology Studies) at the Center for 21st Century Studies and is Core Faculty in the Graduate Programs in Public History and Museum Studies. Kim is also the Regional Editor for Korea on the Editorial Board for the journal Critical Asian Studies.  \nHer recent publications include “A New Kind of Tinderbox on the Korean Peninsula” in Current History (September 2024) and “South Korea’s Nuclear-Energy Entanglements and the Timescales of Ecological Democracy” in Forces of Nature: New Perspectives on Korean Environments\, edited by David Fedman\, Eleana Kim\, and Albert L. Park\, eds.\, and published by Cornell in 2023. \nKim’s book\, Memory\, Reconciliation\, and Reunions in South Korea: Crossing the Divide\, published by Lexington Books in 2017\, was the winner of the 2019 Scott Bills Memorial Prize from the Peace History Society. \nPlease contact libspecial@uwm.edu for more information and accommodations. \n

SUMMARY:Information Literacy Research Assignment Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Research assignments serve an important role in college courses. Tasks like selecting and evaluating additional sources of information\, summarizing new information and comparing it to core course concepts all have the potential to build learning. However\, the goals of a research assignment are often not clear to our students. Clear and transparent goals help students to reflect on their effort and take control of their own learning. They are also essential for students to articulate how they approached their learning so they can apply or adjust the same strategies in future assignments. \nIn this workshop\, instructors will identify areas in which students struggle to reach the expected research outcomes in their course. Once these targets are clear\, participants will workshop strategies for balancing the productive struggle we want students to experience in authentic research tasks with the transparency required for students to understand and value the research as a learning process. \nThe workshop will be held in W194/Room A\, Golda Meir Library. \nRegistration Link  Please use the form to RSVP by Tuesday\, September 24\, 2024. \nContact Kristin Woodward (kristinw@uwm.edu) for additional details or to request accommodations.

SUMMARY:When Silicon Hallucinates: Deception Machines in an Age of Ontological Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by David Witzling\, UWM Peck School of the Arts. \nIn the present moment\, “truth” is becoming an increasingly contested term.  Between fake news\, UFO disclosure\, and popular deep fakes\, generative AI will play an increasingly prominent role in complicating perceptions of “reality.”  The role of AI systems in our unfolding ontological crisis will fall along multiple lines: deception as an implicit and explicit design goal for AI systems; the autonomous nature of AI bots in an increasingly online world; the increasingly deregulated corporate interests funding the development of AI systems; and the protected “speech” status of public-facing corporate information systems.  Curbing the development of AI systems might sound like an anti-progress position\, but it is also one firmly grounded in the economics of diminishing returns\, and a humanistic conception of “government for the people.” \nRegister here: https://uwm.edu/libraries/digital-humanities/dh-lab-events/dh-event-registration-silicon-hallucinates/

SUMMARY:"Living for the City: The Black Middle Class in Milwaukee" -- Community Forum
DESCRIPTION:A community forum in conjunction with the “Living for the City: The Black Middle Class in Milwaukee” oral history project will be held in the Fourth Floor Conference Center of the UWM Golda Meir Library on Wednesday\, April 10\, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. \nThis project is a joint effort between Marquette University’s Center for Urban Research\, Teaching\, and Outreach and UWM. \nJoin the project coordinators as they discuss the Black middle class in Milwaukee. Typically the narrative surrounding Black Milwaukee is one of poverty\, struggle\, crime\, but there are many Black residents who have achieved success and stability in Milwaukee. This is an opportunity to discuss whether you view yourself as middle class and for the team to share their research. \n“The Living for the City” project consists of over 70 interviews that are archived at the UWM Libraries. Watch some of the interviews at https://collections.lib.uwm.edu/digital/collection/lfc/search. \nA traveling exhibition featuring the project will be on view in the Daniel M. Soref Learning Commons\, located in the Golda Meir Library\, from Monday\, April 8 through Thursday\, April 18. \n

SUMMARY:Introduction to OER Adoption Virtual Workshop 
DESCRIPTION:This virtual workshop on Wednesday\, March 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. will introduce faculty to open textbooks — a type of open educational resource (OER) — and the benefits these textbooks offer: affordability\, pedagogical practice\, student learning\, and engagement. Faculty are then invited to engage with open textbooks by writing a brief review of a book in the Open Textbook Library. \nSeveral UWM courses use Open Textbooks\, removing textbook cost as a barrier to student success. For more information about UWM’s Open Textbook and OER initiative\, see the guide to Open Educational Resources. \nFor a self-paced training course on OER at UWM\, see Open Textbooks and OER Training for Instructors. \nPlease register to attend. Participants are asked to select an open textbook for review. Instructors who complete the review process will be eligible for a $200 stipend.  Stipends are awarded as an S&E transfer from GPR/101 to GPR/101 lines only. \nRegister for the virtual workshop.  Please use this form to RSVP by Tuesday\, March 26. \nContact Kristin Woodward (kristinw@uwm.edu) for additional details or to request accommodations.

SUMMARY:UWM's Academic Adventurers Talk -- Pedestrian Safety at Night: Illuminating the Problem and Strategies for Safer Streets
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Robert J. Schneider\, Ph.D.\, Professor and Co-Chair\, Department of Urban Planning\, UWM. \nUS pedestrian fatalities increased by 51% between 2010 and 2020 (4\,302 to 6\,516 fatalities per year)\, and nearly all of the additional pedestrian fatalities that occurred were at night. This trend has continued into the 2020s\, and now more than three-quarters of US pedestrian fatalities are at night. \nThis presentation by Robert Schneider will draw on research conducted by UWM as a part of a National Cooperative Highway Research Program team to understand how the geographic layout and design of our roadway system has evolved over time to contribute to this uniquely American problem. The outcomes of this research look beyond individualistic strategies (such as having pedestrians wear reflective clothing) toward systemic solutions to the problem (such as redesigning streets with fewer lanes and enhanced pedestrian crossings\, improving roadway lighting\, and reducing nighttime speed limits). \nUWM’s Academic Adventurers is a continuing series of informal Friday afternoon programs held in the American Geographical Society Library\, that give members of the UWM community the opportunity to hear of their colleagues’ adventures abroad and afield. \n\nAll programs are free and open to the public. For more information or to arrange for special needs\, call 414-229-6282.
