Broken on All Sides: Race, Mass Incarceration and New Visions for Criminal Justice
<p>Presenting a historical narrative not often heard about prisons and crime, this documentary investigates the complex issues of discretion within the system, racial targeting, and the largest spike in the number of people incarcerated in our nation’s history. Through interviews with people caught up in or involved with the system, this documentary answers and provokes questions on an issue walled-off from the public’s scrutiny. (Run time: 1 hour) </p><p>This screening will be followed by a Q&A session moderated by <strong>Dr. Ruth White,</strong> Executive Director of The Academy for Scholastic and Personal Success.</p><p>Doors open at 5 PM. The screening will begin at 5:30.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the Series:</strong></p><p>Museums have, more recently, been challenged with lending a voice to issues of social justice (and injustice). The African American Museum of Iowa recognizes this charge and understands the Museum’s growing role in its responsibility to demonstrate history’s direct impact on our present societal culture and climate. By screening these important documentaries, we are opening the door to honest dialogue, discovery, reflection, and even resolution. Documentaries can offer authentic and untold stories that can serve to fill gaps, expose truth and give a deeper meaning. We hope you will join us at the Cedar Rapids Public Library for these real conversations.</p> 2019-09-27 20:00:00 -0500

Thursday Forum - The Golden Age of Neuroscience: Understanding Addiction, Stress, and Brain Disorders
<p>Researchers have learned more about the brain in the last decade than in centuries of study, ushering in a golden age of neuroscience. Yet, a better understanding of the brain is still desperately needed in order to develop effective treatments for neurological disorders, one of the greatest threats to public health. How do we go about understanding the nervous system—the most complex organ system in the human body—and a range of neural processes like addiction, stress, and brain disorders? This forum, led by faculty from Coe’s biology and psychology departments, will provide an introduction to neuroscience and exciting developments in this dynamic field. Following week one’s introduction to the field and its history, week two’s session led by Professor of Psychology Michael Baker will explore addiction and the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms that play a role in the compulsive behaviors associated with it. In the third session, Associate Professor of Biology David Lo will explain the biological process of stress, the myriad ways stress impacts our health, and techniques for managing stress. The final session, led by Associate Professor of Biology Paul Storer, will explain the mechanisms that lead to brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis and explore the modern treatments that may ameliorate such brain disorders.</p> 2019-10-01 11:30:00 -05002/06/208:45 a.m.Coe College, Hickok Hall, Kesler Lecture HallCedar Rapids -
