Mandy Harvey and her band
<p>Mandy Harvey is an American jazz singer and songwriter; she is also deaf. While pursuing a vocal music education major at Colorado State University, Harvey lost her residual hearing at age 18 due to a neurological disorder. She left the program and pursued other career options but soon returned to music. Harvey quickly became a regular performer at venues in Fort Collins and Denver, including some of the world’s top jazz venues. Her first album, "Smile," was released to widespread praise in 2009. Since then, she has released additional critically acclaimed albums: "After You’ve Gone" (2010), "All of Me" (2014), "Nice To Meet You "(2019) and "Masterpiece" (2021). She was the winner of a 2015 Inspiration Award from the Invisible Disabilities Association and was a contestant during season 12 of “America’s Got Talent” (2017).

Teaching and Learning Inside: The Transformative Potential of College-In-Prison Programs
<p>What are prisons for? What should happen to people when they are incarcerated? Since most incarcerated individuals in the U.S. eventually are released, vocational training, GED and higher-education programs were long seen as a way to help them work toward lives that would keep them out of jail. However, tough-on-crime policies have resulted in more punitive sentences and the dismantling of many rehabilitative programs. This four-week forum will explore national and local programs that promote education and the arts in prisons. The first session will introduce collegein-prison programs, including the pioneering Bard Prison Initiative, and the debate about prison education. In week two, we will take a closer look at the Liberal Arts Beyond Bars college-in-prison program at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center (IMCC) in Coralville and hear from incarcerated students and those who work with them. Week three’s session will focus on Shakespeare prison programs; we will view excerpts from the documentary “Shakespeare Behind Bars” and learn about the presenter’s experiences teaching a linked Coe and IMCC Shakespeare course. The final session will examine other kinds of prison arts programs. We will view and discuss artwork by incarcerated individuals and consider the potential and pitfalls of arts, college and other rehabilitative programs in prisons. As we consider the challenges and opportunities of teaching and learning in prison, this forum will work to come to a better understanding of what college-in-prison programs offer incarcerated individuals and the society of which they are a part.</p> 2021-08-04 11:30:00 -0500

The Science and Politics of Pandemics
<p>Amid the present COVID-19 pandemic, it is useful and important to explore how pandemics provide an opportunity to address a variety of compelling scientific and political questions. This special two-week forum, led jointly by Ben Peterson Professor of Chemistry Maria Dean and Professor of Political Science Lynda Barrow, will examine pandemics past and present from the vantage points of a biochemist and a political scientist. From the 14th-century plague in Europe to the Ebola outbreaks of the early 21st century to the current COVID-19 moment, epidemics and pandemics offer a unique opportunity to consider a wide variety of significant scientific and political issues that leaders, countries and the international community face during moments of crisis. In the first week’s session, the presenters will define what constitutes a pandemic, which organisms and conditions make pandemics possible and why pandemics are a political as well as a scientific issue. The second session will discuss specific pandemics, examining in each case the science of the spread and containment as well as the political and public health responses.</p> 2021-08-04 11:30:00 -0500

Men Exploring Faith at Prairiewoods
<p>Behavioral scientists and spiritual guides have noted a major transformation in the life direction of many men as we mature. It may happen gradually or abruptly, as early as our 20s or in our 50s or 60s. Some men never make this shift, described as a change from goal drivenness to receptivity, from ego to wisdom. The transition can start from the inside (Why am I doing what I’m doing?) or the outside (from a loss or threat), and it may seem disruptive while on the way to being life-enhancing. Join with a small group of reflective men at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) in honest conversation about these changes. This group meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month and is facilitated by Jeff Schumacher. A free-will offering is accepted, and registration is not necessary. For more information, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2021-08-09 17:30:00 -0500
