SUMMARY:Davis Humanities Institute Book Chat: Geology & Landscapes of America’s National Parks
DESCRIPTION:Book Description\n\n\n\nThe US National Parks have been called ‘America’s Best Idea’. They also provide a beautiful and accessible set of examples around which to structure an introductory geology course\, motivating students’ curiosity about the science that explains the dramatic landscapes of our nation’s unique protected lands. This book introduces core geologic concepts such as volcanism\, mountain building\, deep time\, tectonics\, sedimentation and glaciation using our beloved Parks as touchstones. Each chapter builds a broader narrative of how the country’s geologic foundations were constructed through time\, demonstrating the broader connections between national parks rather than viewing them as isolated entities.

SUMMARY:The Eugene Lunn Memorial Lecture: Philip J. Deloria
DESCRIPTION:Philip J. Deloria — “When the Stars Fell: A Multi-Epistemological Inquiry into the Leonid Meteor Shower of 1833”\nWednesday\, May 17\n4:30–6 PM \nOn Nov. 12\, 1833\, North Americans witnessed up to 150\,000 meteors streak across the night sky each hour. This “shower of stars” was recorded not only in settler diaries and letters\, but in Plains Indian winter counts\, the quilt patterns of enslaved Black people\, and many other places. The distinctive ideas generated by this celestial event speak volumes about notions of the cosmos and humanity’s place in it among Native American\, Black and white communities of the time. \nPhilip J. Deloria (Dakota descent) is the Leverett Saltonstall Professor of History at Harvard University. He chairs the Repatriation Committee for the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian\, and is the author and editor of books including Playing Indian (1998)\, Indians in Unexpected Places (2004) and American Studies: A User’s Guide (2017). \nOrganized by the Department of History. Co-sponsored by the Manetti Shrem Museum. \n\n\n\n\nThis annual lectureship honors cultural historian Eugene Lunn\, who during 20 years as a member of the faculty in the UC Davis Department of History distinguished himself as an esteemed teacher and mentor\, and an influential scholar in the field of modern European intellectual history.

SUMMARY:Race\, Representation and Museums: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 25 4:30-6 PM \nA 2019 study by Williams College found that 85% of the artists featured at 18 major U.S. art museums were white. While some museums have instituted changes in response to the lack of inclusivity and representation\, the entrenched systemic racism central to this issue requires a radical shift — the introduction of a new paradigm for how museums operate. This conversation features three dynamic leaders in the field who will address paths forward and the barriers that impede rapid and profound movement. \nJoanne Jones-Rizzi is vice president of science\, equity and education at the Science Museum of Minnesota. She advises museums nationally and internationally on culture\, identity\, anti-racism\, exhibition development and community engagement. Jones-Rizzi is the co-creator and concept developer of the award-winning exhibition RACE: Are We So Different? (Science Museum of Minnesota\, 2007). \nPorchia Moore is department head and assistant professor of museum studies at the University of Florida in the School of Art + Art History. Her research investigates the role and function of race in museums and the cultural heritage sector. She is the critical race futurist for The Incluseum and co-author of Transforming Inclusion in Museums: The Power of Collaborative Inquiry. \nYolanda Moses is professor of anthropology\, associate vice chancellor for diversity\, equity and excellence\, and executive director for conflict resolution at UC Riverside. Dr. Moses’ research focuses on the broad question of the origins of social inequality in complex societies through the use of comparative ethnographic and survey methods. She is the co-author of How Real is Race: A Sourcebook on Race\, Culture and Biology.
