SUMMARY:Celebrating AGSL's Leardo Mappamundi
DESCRIPTION:One of the American Geographical Society Library’s most cherished holdings\, the 1452 Mappamundi by the Venetian cartographer Giovanni Leardo\, is undergoing multispectral imaging this winter. Join us for a series of events\, starting with a talk by AGSL Curator Marcy Bidney on Wednesday\, February 19. \nThere are only three Leardo mappamundi left in the world. One of them is held here in Milwaukee at the AGSL\, and the other two are held at libraries in Italy. In fall 2024\, Bidney traveled to Italy to see the maps themselves. In this talk she will discuss the Leardo maps and their place in the history of cartography\, her visits to the libraries in Italy\, and some of the other treasures she was able to see from their collections. \nBidney’s talk will be held at 3:00 p.m. in the AGSL\, located on the third floor of the UWM Golda Meir Library\, 2311 E. Hartford Ave. \nA team from the Lazarus Project will visit AGSL in March to image the Leardo\, and will offer a public lecture on Wednesday\, March 12. \nImage: Giovanni Leardo\, “Mappamundi\,” 1452

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:2024 “Maps & America”: Arthur Holzheimer Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Tim Wallace\, Senior Editor for Geography at The New York Times\, presents the 2024 “Maps & America”: Arthur Holzheimer Lecture on Thursday\, April 11\, 2024 at 6 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library\, located on the third floor of the UWM Golda Meir Library. \nThe title of his talk is “Newsroom Cartography.” \nTim Wallace helps to coordinate geospatial efforts across the newsroom in his role as Senior Editor for Geography at The New York Times. He creates visual stories that illustrate the geographic dimensions of current events. Wallace has a Ph.D. in geography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \nFor over 150 years\, The New York Times has been using maps to help readers understand what is happening around the world. Cartographic techniques are integral to the way The Times reports on weather\, war\, climate and politics and more.

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: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.
