SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion
DESCRIPTION:T. S. Eliot\n\nThe Waste Land (1922) \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected text. \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, April 24. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, April 24\, you will receive an email from him 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 Max will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those he has emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry. Another purpose is to disseminate an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of great books education on the UWM campus. It was the assertion of the former Great Books Program that its methodology and philosophical approach toward the study of foreign languages\, mathematics\, history\, and great books offers a challenging\, meaningful\, and useful Liberal Arts education. \nSpecial Collections serves as host for the Roundtable Discussions in support of these educational goals. Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.

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:Exhibit -- Living for the City: The Black Middle Class in Milwaukee
DESCRIPTION:A traveling exhibition in conjunction with the “Living for the City: The Black Middle Class in Milwaukee” oral history project\, which challenges and complicates existing narratives about Black Milwaukee mired in narrow assertions of poverty\, segregation\, incarceration\, and educational underachievement. These are not the only stories to tell about Black Milwaukee. Research confirms that Milwaukee’s Black residents have lived experiences marked by successes\, demanding that we attend to those middleclass experiences left out of current academic and socio-political discourses. Studying those with class advantages brings insights into social inequality. We know what Black poverty looks like in Milwaukee\, but what does Black success look like? Turning the lens to middle class opens other narratives and representations of African Americans in Milwaukee. \n“The Living for the City” project consists of over 70 interviews that are archived at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries. \n

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.

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Anne Frank\nThe Diary of a Young Girl\, 12 June – 22 December 1942\, translated by Susan Massotty\, 1997. (1947) \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected text. \n\nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, February 28. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, February 28\, you will receive an email from him 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 Max will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those he has emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry. Another purpose is to disseminate an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of great books education on the UWM campus. It was the assertion of the former Great Books Program that its methodology and philosophical approach toward the study of foreign languages\, mathematics\, history\, and great books offers a challenging\, meaningful\, and useful Liberal Arts education. \nSpecial Collections serves as host for the Roundtable Discussions in support of these educational goals. Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.
