SUMMARY:Online - Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series
DESCRIPTION:Session 3: Detoxing Masculinity\nIssues related to gender and sexuality continue to be paramount in many areas\, including politics\, law\, health care\, parenting\, identity\, and social justice. In this three-part discussion series\, we will consider how gender and sexuality are refracted\, or how their meaning and social expression are changing and moving as we think through the topics of book bans\, transgender rights\, and masculinity. \nMany experts agree that the men and boys of the United States are not ok. By many measures they are falling behind and many of the impacts are less widely talked about. This session of Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series will seek to pull apart the term toxic masculinity and look instead at detoxing masculinity. Hamline Professor Ryan Jerome LeCount will talk about masculinity and its social expression\, particularly in the area of politics and social change in Minnesota and the United States. He will be joined by author Jeremy Norton\, who recently published Trauma Sponges\, a first-hand account of his experience working as an EMT in the emergency response sector\, and what it means for a male-dominated industry to be both full of bravura heroics and deal with intense trauma on a daily basis. \nWhat you can expect from this series: \n\nScholars\, experts\, community members\, and authors will share what the landscape looks like nationally and in Minnesota\, as well as talk about their personal experiences and perspectives.		\nEach session will have a resource list of articles\, books\, and organizations to help you gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.\nEngage in small and large group discussions as well as exploring ways to effect change and take action.\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is required. There is no cost to attend; sign up for one or all three sessions. Each session will take place virtually; a zoom link will be sent closer to the date of the session.  \nEducators can receive CEU’s for attending. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \nRegister Now

DESCRIPTION:Session 2: Transgender Justice\nIssues related to gender and sexuality continue to be paramount in many areas\, including politics\, law\, health care\, parenting\, identity\, and social justice. In this three-part discussion series\, we will consider how gender and sexuality are refracted\, or how their meaning and social expression are changing and moving as we think through the topics of book bans\, transgender rights\, and masculinity. \nIn this session of Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series\, our speakers will help to set the stage on the current landscape of transgender rights and issues nationally\, and what is happening specifically within Minnesota. Brittany Stewart from Gender Justice\, a Minnesota based organization advancing gender equity through the law\, will be joined by Máel Embser-Herbert\, professor emeritus\, U.S. Army Veteran and an editor of With Honor and Integrity: Transgender Troops in Their Own Words\, which shares personal stories from transgender people fighting for their right to serve in the U.S. military. \nWhat you can expect from this series: \n\nScholars\, experts\, community members\, and authors will share what the landscape looks like nationally and in Minnesota\, as well as talk about their personal experiences and perspectives.		\nEach session will have a resource list of articles\, books\, and organizations to help you gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.\nEngage in small and large group discussions as well as exploring ways to effect change and take action.\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Online - Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series
DESCRIPTION:Session 1: Book Bans and the Freedom to Read\nIssues related to gender and sexuality continue to be paramount in many areas\, including politics\, law\, health care\, parenting\, identity\, and social justice. In this three-part discussion series\, we will consider how gender and sexuality are refracted\, or how their meaning and social expression are changing and moving as we think through the topics of book bans\, transgender rights\, and masculinity. \nBooks continue to be banned or challenged across the nation\, and Minnesota is not exempt in that respect. Book bans have risen by a third over the past year in public schools\, and many of these bans are targeting LGBTQ+ characters\, themes\, and intersectional identities. This session of Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series will examine the controversy over sexuality and book bans and provide an opportunity to hear directly from authors whose work has been challenged. Quatrefoil Library\, a library and queer gathering space in the Twin Cities\, will be in conversation with J.J. Austrian\, author of Worm Loves Worm\, Trung Le Nguyen\, author of The Magic Fish\, and Junauda Petrus\, author of The Stars and the Blackness Between Them. \nWhat you can expect from this series: \n\nScholars\, experts\, community members\, and authors will share what the landscape looks like nationally and in Minnesota\, as well as talk about their personal experiences and perspectives.		\nEach session will have a resource list of articles\, books\, and organizations to help you gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.\nEngage in small and large group discussions as well as exploring ways to effect change and take action.\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Online - Truth\, Equity\, & Justice:  How We Make Our Way Forward (Again) Together Conference
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances the Truth\, Justice\, and Equity conference will be held virtually. We apologize for the inconvenience\, but we hope that you will be able to join us virtually for these important conversations. \nGenerations of scholars have argued that America will never be whole until reparations are provided for the moral debt created by slavery\, Jim Crow laws\, and the vestiges of the caste system it created. The international cry for justice after the murder of Mr. George Floyd and the stark racial disparities lead bare by the pandemic have renewed the sense of urgency around reparations and truth and reconciliation commissions.  \nThe Center for the Study of Black Life and Law at Mitchell Hamline School of Law\, the Minnesota Humanities Center and the Minnesota Justice and Equity Partnership invite you to join us for a day filled with song\, poetry\, and conversation about how we move toward justice with: \n\nInternational renowned scholars and lawyers involved in securing reparations and creating Truth and Reconciliation commissions outside of the United States\,\nCommunity advocates pursuing reparations and the creation of Truth and Reconciliation commissions in Minnesota\, and\n\nScholars and lawyers sharing insights concerning federal legislation involving reparations and the formation of truth and reconciliation commissions.\n\nInvited guests include Virginie Ladisch\, Senior Expert\, Programs\, at the International Center for Transitional Justice\, Marcella Naidoo\, former Regional Director of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa and Executive Director of the Black Sash\, and Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison. This is a beginning\, not an end. The event partners are planning a series of events in 2023 to continue this focus and work to transform our collective future.  \nRegistration\nThis event is free but registration is required. This event will be available to rewatch until October 30\, 2022. Continuing Legal Education credits will be applied for post-conference for lawyers seeking such credits.  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED
