SUMMARY:Maps & America: The Arthur Holzheimer Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Mapping Brazil from Within: Remote Sensing\, Collaboration\, and Counter-Cartographic Perspectives\nMaps & America: The Arthur Holzheimer Lecture Series returns on April 30 with speaker Dr. Julio Pedrassoli – associate professor at the University of São Paulo – for his presentation “Mapping Brazil from Within: Remote Sensing\, Collaboration\, and Counter-Cartographic Perspectives.” The event will open with a reception at 5:30 p.m.\, and the lecture will begin at 6 p.m. \nPedrassoli will discuss his work leading urban mapping with MapBiomas\, a Brazilian-founded initiative that uses cloud computing\, machine learning\, and decades of satellite imagery to produce large‑scale maps displaying changes in environmental variables over time. Pedrassoli will also analyze the societal impacts of organizing mapping through a collaborative network of academics\, NGOs\, tech companies\, and civil society. By considering maps that challenge dominant power structures\, the lecture examines how such an arrangement shapes data transparency\, methodological openness\, and the public circulation of territorial information\, particularly in deforestation\, land-use change\, climate governance\, and land conflicts. The Brazilian experience is situated as a reference model that has been replicated across South America and the tropical world as a source of innovation in cartography. \nPedrassoli is a remote sensing scientist and geographer with a PhD in Human Geography from the University of São Paulo. His research focuses on mapping urban expansion and housing–poverty dynamics in the Global South. A former research scholar at Columbia University\, he develops advanced methods for mapping informal settlements. \nHeld annually in the spring\, the Maps & America Lecture Series was inaugurated by noted cartographic historian\, Brian Harley\, in 1990. Since its inception\, the lecture series has been generously sponsored by the late Arthur Holzheimer and his wife Janet Holzheimer of the Chicago area. Over the years\, the series has featured many leading figures in the field of map history and provided a multifaceted survey of this rapidly developing field. The lecture series is free and open to the public. To learn more\, view the list of previous Maps & America lectures. \nRegistration has closed. Thank you to those who attended the event. \nBrazil\, Our Land: Map of Brazil\, special series\, political and regional published by Geomapas Editora de Mapas e Guias Ltda. in 1998.

SUMMARY:Special Collections Graduate Intern Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Now through May 21\, patrons can visit the Special Collections reading room to view exhibits curated by UWM Art History graduate students Kate Lytvynenko and Olivia Young\, who spent their spring 2026 fieldwork experience in Special Collections.\n\nLytvynenko’s exhibit showcases her interest in Ukrainian art\, history\, and culture\, and her selections offer a perspective of Ukraine as viewed through the lens of those who would control it\, highlighting the history of that country’s long struggle for sovereignty. Young’s focus is on the Pre-Raphaelites and late 19th-/early 20th-century European art — her exhibit presents turn-of-the-century decorative trade book covers by some of the most noted designers of the time. Both exhibits demonstrate some of the many lines of inquiry that can be followed through the original printed sources preserved in Special Collections.\n\nSpecial Collections is located on the fourth floor of the Golda Meir Library and is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

SUMMARY:Latin American\, Caribbean\, and U.S. Latinx Studies Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Borges\, Joyce\, and the Not-Quite-First Spanish-Language Review of Ulysses\nJoin UWM’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies Visiting Scholar Dr. Leah Leone Anderson for her talk “Borges\, Joyce\, and the Not-Quite-First Spanish-Language Review of Ulysses\,” part of the Latin American\, Caribbean\, and U.S. Latinx Studies (LACUSL) Speaker Series being held on Feb. 16 from 3-4 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library. \nAbout the talk: 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 the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies’ support. Her current research focuses on the work of Argentine critic\, translator\, and memoirist María Rosa Oliver (1898-1977). \nThe LACUSL Speaker Series is free and open to the public. No registration is required. Email clacs@uwm.edu with questions or to request accessibility accommodations. \nDr. Leah Leone Anderson

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.

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:Attentive or Absentminded: Habits of Mind in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:A lecture presented by Meghan O’Gieblyn\, author of God Human Animal Machine\, and the essay collection Interior States\, which won the 2018 Believer Book Award. \nAt a moment when we are outsourcing many intellectual and creative tasks to machines\, it’s worth thinking about the point of thinking itself. Is it a means to an end\, or an end in itself? Are humans just “stochastic parrots\,” mindlessly producing language in a way that is not so different from AI\, as some tech luminaries contend\, or is there something more going on in our minds? While these questions may seem new\, they harken back to older debates about the relationship between thought and language\, freedom and necessity\, and the fine line that exists between attention and automaticity. Long before the advent of digital technologies\, two twentieth century philosophers\, Hannah Arendt and Simone Weil\, wrote about some of these questions through the lens of the technologies of their times. Their writing anticipates many of the challenges of the age of AI and calls attention to the more ordinary and insidious ways that consciousness becomes ossified by social convention\, as well as the moral and political risks that arise when we fail to “think what we are doing.” \nGolda Meir Library Fourth Floor Conference Center\nApril 10\, 2025 | 4:00 -5:00 p.m. (refreshments at 3:30 p.m.) \nCo-sponsored by the Center for 21st Century Studies’ AI and the Humanities Collaboratory\, the UWM Office of Research\, and the UWM Libraries.

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:Introduction to OER Adoption Virtual Workshop 
DESCRIPTION:This virtual workshop on Friday\, October 18 from 12:00-1:30 pm 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. \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 Wednesday\, October 16. \nContact Kristin Woodward (kristinw@uwm.edu) for additional details or to request accommodations.

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:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion:  Four Short Stories by Arthur C. Clarke
DESCRIPTION:Arthur C. Clarke\n“Transience” (1949)\n“The Sentinel” (1951)\n“The Nine Billion Names of God” (1952)\n“The Star” (1954) \nFor the month of July\, we will be reading four short stories by British science fiction writer\, futurist\, and inventor Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008). Clarke is perhaps known to most for co-writing the screenplay for the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as for the novel it was based on\, but his work spans decades and includes science and science fiction writing for which he was awarded the UNESCO Kalinga Prize for popularizing science. Clarke also helped popularize the idea of geostationary satellites for communication to the extent that geostationary orbit is often called the Clarke Orbit. His influence is difficult to overstate\, so please join us to read his stories “Transience\,” “The Sentinel\,” “The Nine Billion Names of God\,” and “The Star” to find out why! \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected texts. \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).

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion
DESCRIPTION:William Shakespeare\nHenry VI\, Part 1  (ca. 1591) \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.\, May 29. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, May 29\, you will receive an email from him with an automatic password-protected URL.

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: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

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.
