Inventing America's First Immigration Crisis
2022-03-17 19:00 - 20:30
The rapid influx of 4.2 million immigrants to the United States in the 1840s and 1850s led to the country’s first anti-immigration political movement, the “nativists.” Though progressive in their support of labor rights, women’s rights and government regulation of industry, this group’s xenophobic beliefs led them to negatively target those of German and Irish origin, especially practicing Roman Catholics. By explaining the dramatic rise of the National American, or “Know Nothing,” Party in bourgeoning western cities – namely Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, and St. Louis – Dr. Luke Ritter will illuminate the cultural, economic, and political issues that ultimately motivated (and continue to motivate) Americans’ negative reactions to foreigners.

Indigenous Community: Rekindling the Teachings of the Seventh Fire
2022-04-06 13:00 - 14:00
Indigenous Community explores how community is the foundation and lifeblood of Indigenous education as well as the path to sustainable ways of life. In the words of Greg Cajete, the author, What I want Indigenous readers to get is that, along with our efforts to revitalize culture and language, we must also revitalize and sustain our sense for community, because it is the context in which culture and language flourish. We must once again create a process for community leadership and develop toward this goal. We can develop ways to do this through a contemporary form of community-based education. For the non-Indigenous reader, I hope they will realize that community is indeed the medium and the message for contemporary efforts toward building sustainable community. Historically, Indigenous communities have reflected elegant and authentic forms of resilient sustainable community.
