Gardening and Activism: A Conversation
Nationally, globally, and locally, the growing of food and access to healthy food serve as lenses through which the intersection of racial inequity, access to land, food processing and cultural and historical foodways can be seen and acted upon. Add to the mix climate change, health crises (such as the pandemic), and any plot of ground can become a point of activism. Three participants and researchers in this arena join for a conversation on gardens and activism, writ small and large.

During the election campaign in 2020, numerous commentators and some politicians argued that Republicans had co-opted the U.S. Supreme Court by manipulating the appointment and confirmation process, and that Democrats -- if they managed to control the White House and Congress -- should respond by "packing" the Court with new Justices. Where did this idea come from? Is it legal? Is it smart?

As the Director of the Stereotyping, Prejudice, and Facial Expression Lab at Indiana University, Professor Kurt Hugenberg and his team do research on how perceivers' stereotypes, prejudices, and prejudice-related motives influence how we categorize, perceive, and understand others. Much of their work focuses on how perceptions of others' faces and bodies interface with beliefs about social groups. As one example, such beliefs may manifest in "Racial Size Bias," which may, in turn, result in more police use-of-force against Black men. Other work conducted by the lab includes research on obesity stigma, on prisoner dehumanization, and on racial biases in pain perception. Join Professor Hugenberg in a conversation that sheds light on how what people believe shapes what they see.
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING 2021.

The Refugee Crisis: Why People Are on the Move
According to the UNHCR UN Refugee Agency, at least 79.5 million people around the world have been forced to flee their homes. Among them are nearly 26 million refugees, around half of whom are under the age of 18. There are also millions of stateless people, who have been denied a nationality and lack access to basic rights such as education, health care, employment and freedom of movement. Professor Dunn's book, No Path Home: Humanitarian Camps and the Grief of Displacement, is based on more than 16 months of ethnographic work in the Republic of Georgia, where Dunn lived and worked in a camp for victims of ethnic cleansing. Join Professor Dunn for a conversation on the crises at the intersection of war, political unrest, policy, and humanitarianism.

Human Error: The Role of Speciesism in the Conjoined Crises of Climate Change and Resurgent Fascism
Mistaken ideas about what it is to be human are built into justifications for the subordination and exploitation of nonhuman animals. The ideology of human supremacy contains the seeds of ableism, racism, sexism, and ecocide. Moreover, the myth of human supremacy prevents us from seeing ourselves and other humans as the particular kind of primates we are. This skews our analyses of problems and makes it more difficult for us to solve them. Only by stepping down from our self-constructed pedestals and looking around will be able to see what needs to be done and do it. Luckily, this can be a joyful process of reunion with the rest of the world, bringing us energy and hope along with more accurate analyses of the work to be done.

IU professors Irit Dekel (Germanic Studies and Jewish Studies) and Rasul Mowatt (American Studies and Geography) will speak with Susan Neiman about the parallels and differences between the way the Nazi past is publicly recognized in Germany and how the United States has sought to address our history of slavery, racism, and the struggle for civil rights.

Pandemics: History, Science, and Story
Pandemics have intruded on mankind since the dawn of recorded history, though more recent increases in population density and ease of travel have facilitated their spread. A study of the pandemics of the past offers deep insights into our current travails with COVID-19, with implications for how we shape the history of our day, the advance of science, and the impact of widespread infectious diseases on the stories of persons and communities.

Are we in the midst of a revolution? Will we ever return to life “pre-COVID”? Professor Rebecca L. Spang has long studied money, culture, revolution and consumption and has recently explored these questions in articles for The Atlantic: “The Revolution is Under Way Already” and “How Revolutions Happen.” Reflecting on her studies of the French Revolution, Spang shares that revolutions are rarely planned, and arise during a whirlwind of social and economic upheaval – much like we find ourselves in today.
