SUMMARY:Online - Woman Life Freedom (3 part series)
DESCRIPTION:Illustration by Roshi Rouzbehani \n*$30 is the fee for all three sessions. Participants must attend all three sessions. \nThis winter\, MHC will be hosting a timely virtual course\, Woman\, Life\, Freedom: The Iranian Women’s Revolution in Transnational Context\, with Dr. Yalda Hamidi from Minnesota State University-Mankato. The Iranian Feminist Movement of the moment is the first female-led movement in the Middle East and the world\, which received global support and transnational solidarities\, and incited several national and regional feminist resistance movements in Afghanistan\, Turkey\, India\, and more. Understanding this movement can change our knowledge of the “other women” and how we perceive them in America and will challenge how we locate our feminist demand here in Minnesota. \nThis virtual course will meet for three weeks\, and participants will learn more about Iranian history and culture\, women’s rights in Iran\, and the current women’s revolution\, using pre-assigned readings and primary resources to guide their discussions. Key speakers will also be involved in each session to contribute their perspectives and engage participants in conversation. \nYalda Hamidi (She/Her/Hers) is an Assistant Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies at Minnesota State University Mankato and a member of the Ms. Committee of Scholars. She identifies as a teacher\, mentor\, storyteller\, sister\, and auntie. At MNSU Mankato\, Yalda teaches transnational feminism\, feminist pedagogy\, and queer identities courses. In her research\, she writes about the importance of politics of location for understanding the feminism/s of non-white and non-Western women. Yalda’s non-academic work strives to share the stories of Iranian women championing and fighting intersectional systems of oppression.  \nView Full Bio \nSchedule:\nJanuary 18\, 2023 – 5:30-7:30 p.m.\nJanuary 25\, 2023 – 5:30-7:30 p.m.\nFebruary 1\, 2023 – 5:30-7:30 p.m. \nRegistration\n*$30 is the fee for all three sessions.

SUMMARY:Bemidji - Treaties\, Strategies\, and Traditionalism
DESCRIPTION:This talk foregrounds Indigenous perspectives\, specifically those of the Anishinaabeg of Minnesota and Quebec\, on treaty signing\, economic activities\, and the seasonal round. Comparing Native and White perspectives on treaty signing throws into sharp relief the divergent understandings\, cultural differences\, and foreclosed opportunities that characterized these encounters. Participants will examine petitions and treaties from the mid- and late nineteenth centuries and put them in conversation with newer scholarship that emphasizes the Native perspective and a contextual approach to analysis.  This presentation will also encourage participants to consider the importance of how we interpret these petitions and treaties in terms of writing an accurate and more comprehensive history as well as their juridical implications in front of a conservative U.S. Supreme Court that has recently veered decidedly to the right.   \nRaised in Massachusetts\, Dr. Dennis Fisher is a descendant of Algonquin and Nipissing Anishinaabeg from Quebec. He was taught by his late mentor Stan Dumont Whiteduck and Elders at Kitigan Zibi — the largest and oldest Algonquin reserve in Canada.  He is a veteran and served as an emergency room medic in the United States Air Force.  He holds a PhD in History as well as a doctoral graduate portfolio in Native American and Indigenous Studies.  He has recently had an article published in American Indian Quarterly titled\, “War\, Wampum\, and Recognition: Algonquin Transborder Political Activism During the Early Twentieth Century\, 1919-1931.”  He is currently under contract with the University of British Columbia Press to publish his upcoming work\, To Not Sell One Perch:  Algonquin Politics and Culture at Kitigan Zibi During the Twentieth Century.  He has previously taught at White Earth Tribal and Community College and is currently Assistant Professor of Indigenous Studies at Bemidji State University. \nRegistration\nThis event is free\, but registration is required. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Learning in Community: Hmong St. Paul
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly 300\,000 Asian Minnesotans\, more than 5% of our state’s population. Hmong\, Lao\, Cambodian\, and Vietnamese make up about 60% of the Asian population in Minnesota.

There will be time for independent shopping and lunch. \nThis is a collaboration with Hmong Cultural Center and HmongTown Marketplace. \nSpace is limited to 50 participants. \nK-12 educators will receive 4 clock hours. \nPlease note: Registration cost does not include food. Participants are encouraged to support the financial recovery of small businesses by making purchases from the businesses they learn about on the tour.

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Objects of War: A Storytelling Circle
DESCRIPTION:Join the Minnesota Humanities Center on Saturday\, November 5 at 10:30 a.m. for a storytelling circle centered around “Objects of War.” Whether dog tags of a family member lost in service\, a good luck charm kept by a soldier\, or a family heirloom that traveled across the world by a refugee\, objects can hold deep meaning for those who have been impacted by war.  \nParticipants are invited to bring their own object to share that helps them tell the story of their own connection to war\, whether direct or indirect. Moderated by a Veteran and a refugee\, the conversation will examine why we hold on to certain material objects\, and how they can help us better understand the human experience of war. Noted photographer Xavier Tavera will be on hand to photograph interested participants with their objects. Co-sponsored by the Minnesota Historical Society and the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans. \nRegistration\nRegistration is required for this free event. Open to the public; lunch will be provided.  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Armed With Language: Film Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the height of WWII\, Historic Ft. Snelling was home to a little-known Military Intelligence Service Language School (MISLS). Thousands of Nisei men and women (second generation Japanese Americans) were trained as linguists and translators and played a crucial role in helping the U.S. to end the war. They served in the U.S. military despite the fact that tens of thousands of Americans of Japanese descent were being imprisoned in concentration camps for the supposed security risk they posed to the country.  \nTheir story is shared in the 2021 TPT documentary\, Armed With Language. Join producer Katie O’Rourke as she engages the film’s writer David Mura\, and Karen Tanaka Lucas who is featured in the film\, in a reflective conversation\, a year on from its debut. Along with viewing some of the film footage\, Katie\, David and Karen will explore why this history has remained so hidden from public knowledge\, their personal stories and connections with MISLS\, and the complicated histories that intertwine at the site of Historic Ft. Snelling. The conversation will end with a Q&A session with audience members.  \nHosted by Historic Ft. Snelling\, in partnership with the Minnesota Historical Society\, TPT Twin Cities\, and the Twin Cities Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). This is a free event. \nRegistration\nDoors of the Plank Museum and Visitors Center at Historic Fort Snelling will open at 5:15 p.m.; the event will begin at 6:00 p.m.in the Event Space on the second floor; audience members are invited to bring their curiosity and questions to share with the speakers. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

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

SUMMARY:Duluth - Kumbayah The Juneteenth Story
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Juneteenth was written into law as a national day of observance\, yet many people are unfamiliar with its meaning and the insight it offers in addressing current social injustice. Minnesota Humanities Center is honored to collaborate with Duluth Public Schools\, Sweet Potato Comfort Pie and the greater Duluth community to bring the significance of this day to life. \nKumbayah The Juneteenth Story\, written by Rose McGee\, is a 90-minute  two-act  dramatization of a traumatic time in our history – when news was deliberately withheld that Black people were no longer enslaved in this country. Storytelling and music weave together mesmerizing scenes. Although tragedy is depicted\, this play within a play is tremendously uplifting. The story begins with a Prologue set in the early 1800s in a small West African village where a young mother and her small son are being abducted from their home by slave catchers. Act One: Scene One is set in present time in a popular North Minneapolis soul-food restaurant where a group of youths and adults ultimately end up discussing what Juneteenth means. Before long they all agree to attend a play about Juneteenth. The story then shifts into 1863 on the Turner Plantation in Tyler\, Texas with the character Frederick Douglass as Narrator.  \nAlthough interpretation is best suited for ages 8 and up\, children of all ages are welcome to attend. Stay for a post-show discussion with the cast moderated by Carl Crawford from the Duluth Office of Human Rights. \nOpen seating will begin at 6:45 p.m.  The show will start promptly at 7:00 p.m. \nRegistration\nThe performance is free to attend but registration is required in managing seating capacity. \nOpen seating will begin at 6:45 p.m.  The show will start promptly at 7:00 p.m. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Cloud and ONLINE - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
DESCRIPTION:Engage in lively thought-provoking conversations on what it means to live a virtuous life. There are numerous reasons the insights of ancient philosophers such as Epicurus\, Confucius\, and Aristotle have stood the test of time. \n  \n“Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.” Epicurus \n“To know what you know and what you do not know is the mark of one who knows.” Confucius \n“Happiness is an activity in accordance with virtue.” Aristotle \n  \nWhat they have to offer continues to remain instructive today. In this four-session course\, we will examine selections of text from these ancient figures\, seeking not only to evaluate their claims\, but also inquiring how we might apply their lessons to our lives today. \nThis course will be led by John Houston\, longtime philosophy professor (most recently at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University) and instructor with Wisdom’s Edge\, a nonprofit organization committed to bringing philosophy to all. \nSchedule\nJuly 21\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nJuly 28\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nAugust 4\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nAugust 11\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST \n*$40 is the fee for all four sessions. \n \nParticipants are expected to attend all four sessions. \nRegistration\nWhile all are welcome to participate\, we especially encourage participation from those 55+\, as we value the rich history of life experiences to relate to the material and to other individuals in the class.

SUMMARY:St. Paul – Educator Workshop: Black Freedom Struggles
DESCRIPTION:Black Freedom Struggles\, with Adam Bledsoe and Lauretta Dawolo-Towns\nThis workshop will explore Black struggle as a global phenomenon with particular emphasis on historical and current movements led by Black communities. During this interactive workshop we will investigate Black freedom struggles from around the world\, paying special attention to these Black forms of struggle as expressions of Black agency and self-definition. The workshop will help broaden our understanding of Black freedom struggles beyond well-known moments like the emancipation of slavery and Juneteenth\, as we delve into topics like maroon communities\, work stoppages\, and self-defense from locations including the U.S.\, Brazil\, Cuba\, and Angola. We will also emphasize how historical struggles continue to influence present-day politics. Through large and small group projects and hands-on activities we will think through how to best incorporate these often-unknown struggles into classroom curriculum. Participants will have access to new resources\, materials\, and tools to help improve student learning in the classroom. \n  \nScholar Adam Bledsoe is an assistant professor in the Geography\, Environment & Society Department at the University of Minnesota. Born and raised in the Twin Cities\, Adam’s intellectual and political commitments revolve around the ways in which Afro-Diasporic communities analyze and critique dominant forms of politics\, while also conceiving of\, and enacting\, their own political formations. His work has taken him around the United States\, the Caribbean\, Central America\, and South America\, where he has learned from\, and exchanged ideas with\, a variety of Black communities. \n  \nLead Teacher Lauretta Dawolo Towns earned her B.A. in English and American & Racial Multicultural Studies with a Media Studies minor at St. Olaf College in 2004. Her professional background is in community and ethnic media\, specializing in coverage of underrepresented and underserved populations. In 2016\, she received a Master of Arts in Education from Augsburg University after earning a teaching license in Communication Arts and Literature. She currently teaches 8th grade English Language Arts at Roseville Middle School\, and also teaches in the Adult Basic Education program in the same district. Lauretta lives in Inver Grove Heights with her husband and two sons. \n   \nFor the full Learning Journey experience\, we recommend signing up for these Learning in Community offerings: Kumbayah: The Juneteenth Story. \n  \nRegistration\nIf cost is a barrier\, please contact Jessica Rust at jessica@mnhum.org before registering. \nK-12 educators will receive 6 clock hours. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Cloud and ONLINE - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
DESCRIPTION:Engage in lively thought-provoking conversations on what it means to live a virtuous life. There are numerous reasons the insights of ancient philosophers such as Epicurus\, Confucius\, and Aristotle have stood the test of time. \n  \n“Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.” Epicurus \n“To know what you know and what you do not know is the mark of one who knows.” Confucius \n“Happiness is an activity in accordance with virtue.” Aristotle \n  \nWhat they have to offer continues to remain instructive today. In this four-session course\, we will examine selections of text from these ancient figures\, seeking not only to evaluate their claims\, but also inquiring how we might apply their lessons to our lives today. \nThis course will be led by John Houston\, longtime philosophy professor (most recently at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University) and instructor with Wisdom’s Edge\, a nonprofit organization committed to bringing philosophy to all. \nSchedule\nJuly 21\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nJuly 28\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nAugust 4\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST\nAugust 11\, 2022 – 4:00-5:30 p.m. CST \n*$40 is the fee for all four sessions. \n \nParticipants are expected to attend all four sessions. \nRegistration\nWhile all are welcome to participate\, we especially encourage participation from those 55+\, as we value the rich history of life experiences to relate to the material and to other individuals in the class.
