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.

All with web-based tools that are available to anyone! No experience necessary. \nRegister here: https://uwm.edu/libraries/digital-humanities/dh-lab-events/dh-lab-registration-building-visual-essays-using-juncture

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:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Carson McCullers\n“Wunderkind” (1936)\n“The Jockey” (1941)\n“Madame Zilensky and the King of Finland” (1941) \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). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, March 27. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, March 27\, 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.
