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:St. Paul - Minnesota Writers Series: The Stories Whiteness Tells Itself Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the release of David Mura’s new book\, “The Stories Whiteness Tells Itself: Racial Myths and Our American Narratives”\, released in January of 2023 by University of Minnesota Press. Following a reading of selections from the new book\, Mura will be joined by best-selling author and President of Innocent Technologies Alexs Pate for a discussion on the issues of race\, history and education. A book signing will follow the talk. Part of the Minnesota Writers Series. Co-sponsored by University of Minnesota Press.  \nAbout the book: From the country’s founding through the summer of Black Lives Matter in 2020\, Mura’s new book unmasks how white stories about race attempt to erase the brutality of the past and underpin systemic racism in the present. Mura shows how deeply we need to change our racial narratives to dissolve the myth of Whiteness and fully acknowledge the experiences of Black Americans. Poet Douglas Kearney has said of Mura’s new book that it “offers what so many Americans claim they want: a rigorous education in perceiving themselves stripped of their dearest myths.” \nAbout the author: David Mura is a poet\, writer of creative nonfiction and fiction\, critic\, and playwright. He is author of “A Stranger’s Journey: Race\, Identity\, and Narrative Craft in Writing” and the memoirs “Turning Japanese: Memoirs of a Sansei” and “Where the Body Meets Memory: An Odyssey of Race\, Sexuality\, and Identity”. He is coeditor\, with Carolyn Holbrook\, of  “We Are Meant to Rise: Voices for Justice from Minneapolis to the World” (2021). He lives in Minneapolis. \nRegistration\nThis event is free\, but registration is required. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Onamia and Online – Dakota and Ojibwe Languages Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Indian Affairs Council’s Language Revitalization Working Group\, partnering with the Minnesota Humanities Center\, is hosting a two-day Dakota & Ojibwe Languages Symposium! The goal of the symposium is to bring people working in Dakota & Ojibwe language revitalization together. We want to use this time to celebrate successes of what some groups have done in the past\, highlight what is currently going on in the field\, and help shape future language revitalization efforts. We also want to elevate the visibility of Indigenous languages throughout the state of Minnesota. By bringing people together\, we hope this symposium serves as an opportunity for individuals to network with other Dakota & Ojibwe language professionals. The event will be in-person and broadcasted virtually! \nBreakfast and lunch are included for those attending in person. Participants are responsible for booking overnight accommodations if needed (rooms are available at Grand Casino Mille Lacs). CEU’s are available for educators attending the symposium.  \nTo submit your proposal to lead a presentation or activity\, complete the online form.
