Great White Hoax: Donald Trump and the Politics of Race and Class in America
<p>Acclaimed anti-racist educator and author Tim Wise explores how Donald Trump expertly tapped into long-simmering racial tensions and rode an accelerating wave of white anxiety and grievance straight to the White House.</p><p>Rejecting the notion that Trump’s racial appeals to white voters during the 2016 campaign somehow represented a break with business as usual, Wise shows how the politics of racial scapegoating have been operative in conservative and establishment Republican circles for decades. He also rejects the notion that the rise of Trump can be explained by the Democratic Party’s failure to speak to the economic anxieties of white working-class voters, showing how it was cultural anxiety, more than anything else, that motivated Trump’s white supporters.</p><p>THE GREAT WHITE HOAX offers a fascinating look at how conservative political leaders and strategists have been tapping into anxieties about cultural change to win the support of white Americans, especially white men, for decades. And it makes a powerful case for why Trumpism, and the politics of racial scapegoating, are destined to fail in the end. (Run time: 1.5 hours)</p><p>This screening will be followed by a Q&A session moderated by <strong>Anthony Arrington,</strong> Managing Partner at Top Rank Solutions.</p><p>Doors open at 5 PM. The screening will begin at 5:30.</p><p><br></p> 2019-10-03 20:00:00 -0500

Thursday Forum - The Life and Legacy of Alexander the Great
<p>Alexander the Great is one of the most famous figures from Greek history, even though many ancient Greeks would not have considered him a “real Greek.” This four-week series led by Associate Professor History Angela Ziskowski will explore the ascent of the Macedonian state through the succession and legacy of Alexander the Great. The series begins with an exploration of the meteoric rise of the kingdom of Macedon under the leadership of Alexander’s father, Philip II—who created an ideal situation for his son to take control of much of the ancient Mediterranean world and beyond. In week two, we will examine how Alexander took control of the Macedonian kingdom after the death of his father and went on to carry out one of the largest military campaigns in history, conquering territory from Greece to India. Week three explores how Alexander’s success and fame can be attributed to his personality and his control of the depiction of his image in visual culture. The last session looks at Alexander’s Hellenistic successors and the ways in which much of the Mediterranean and even parts of Asia continued to be controlled by the Greco-Macedonians for hundreds of years to come, a major part of Alexander’s lasting impact on western and eastern history.</p> 2019-10-17 11:30:00 -050010/17/198:45 a.m.Coe College, Hickok Hall, Kesler Lecture HallCedar Rapids -
