ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW Riverton Community Housing exists to assist in making the pursuit of student’s educational goals more accessible. With the trend on college campuses toward “luxury” apartment buildings with high rents, Riverton Community Housing is committed to providing a cooperative housing model to provide quality, affordable housing to students at the University of Minnesota and other schools in the area. Co-op housing is member-controlled housing. Residents who live here are members, not “tenants”. Every year the membership elects a board of directors that governs the co-op. The board makes decisions regarding budget planning and building improvements in addition to planning social and cultural events for co-op members. Everyone can participate! As a premiere network of student housing cooperatives in North America, Riverton has a strong record of teaching and leading college students toward the housing cooperative model. As a nonprofit, Riverton provides both a hands-on educational experience for student leaders, and a financial model that offers attractive rental rates in well-maintained properties. ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY In 1945, as soldiers returned to the University of Minnesota, 30 veterans sought to create a social venture where affordable meals would be served. This entity became known as the Chateau Co-op Dining Club. In addition to meals, the Club included a recreation room with table tennis and pool tables, a TV room and a reading lounge.

    The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby Megan Geneva Murray PhD The University of York Women’s Studies January 2012 Abstract All-female roller derby is a rapidly growing full-contact sport played on quad roller skates, with a highly popularized punk, feminine, sexual and tough aesthetic. Utilising theories on the institution of heterosexuality, I conducted a qualitative study on all-female roller derby which evaluated the way in which derby aligns with or challenges heteronormativity. In order to approach this question, I analysed, firstly, thirty-eight interviews with spectators, and twelve with players about their interactions with spectators. Secondly, I interviewed twenty-six players about the phenomenon of “derby wives,” a term used to describe particular female friendships in roller derby. My findings relate the complex relationship between players and spectators by focusing on: (i) spectators’ interpretations of the dress, pseudonyms, and identities of players, as well as the ways in which they were actively involved in doing gender through their discussions of all-female, coed, and all-male roller derby; (ii) players’ descriptions of their interactions with spectators, family members, romantic partners, friends and strangers, regarding roller derby. Additionally, I address the reformulation of the role “wife” to meet the needs of female players within the community, and “derby wives” as an example of Adrienne Rich’s (1980) “lesbian continuum.” “Derby girls” are described as “super heroes” and “rock stars.” Their pseudonyms are believed to help them “transform” once they take to the track.

Findings show that social infotainment and social companionship are the primary motivations of social TV participation. However, only social infotainment significantly pre- dicts the intensity of viewers’ social TV usage, which has a positive influence on program commitment and network loyalty. Additionally, the relationship between social TV usage and network loyalty is partially mediated by program commitment. These findings demonstrate the value of social TV to broad- casters and provide directions for initiating and maintaining long-term relation- ships with viewers.

    NEWS Press Contact: Rachel Joyce 612.375.7635 [email protected] Online Press Room: walkerart.org/press-releases WALKER ART CENTER AND THE CURRENT WILL NOT PRESENT ROCK THE GARDEN IN SUMMER 2021 MINNEAPOLIS, NOVEMBER 11, 2020 — Due to uncertainties around planning for a large-scale outside event next summer, the Walker and The Current will not present Rock the Garden in 2021. After thoughtful consideration of how Rock the Garden could be coordinated and held in the time of COVID-19, the two organizations determined that the event in its current form could not be done in a way that would guarantee the safety of community members and artists. The decision to not present Rock the Garden next summer was a difficult one for the organizations to make, as both music fans and members of the Twin Cities community. The Walker and The Current have been teaming up to present the Twin Cities’ unofficial kick off to summer since 2008 and are hopeful that fans will be able to join together again soon. “This is a very difficult decision for both organizations. Although it may seem premature, the bulk of the planning, including booking bands on tour and securing permits, needs to be completed by the New Year. It is not feasible to do this work given the current situation with COVID-19. We are disappointed to not be able to share the event with our community next summer,” comments Mary Ceruti, Executive Director of the Walker. “Rock the Garden takes months of planning, and we have a talented team of event experts who know what is required to make it a success.

VALUES 2 ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW The Minnesota Humanities Center is a statewide nonprofit and full-service event center. MHC was founded in 1971, when the National Endowment for the Humanities began providing funding for state-based humanities programs. MHC has evolved over the decades beginning with educational programming exploring Minnesota’s people, sociology, and history. Public programming expanded in the 1990s with traveling exhibits, international speakers, published books and public events that examined the nation and the state’s diverse, difficult histories and potential future. The Humanities Center continues to engage the state’s communities by exploring “absent narratives” —voices often left out or marginalized. PROGRAMS Minnesota Humanities Center collaborates with organizations and people through education, partnerships, and public programs to inspire community conversations, forge deep connections, and illuminate authentic, diverse voices across the state — especially those left out, marginalized, or otherwise absent from education and public awareness. 3 Veterans’ Voices Veterans’ Voices honors veterans’ contributions and empowers them to relay their experiences through plays, discussions, literature and the Veterans’ Voices Award. The Warrior Writer Workshop provides a safe space for Veterans to tell their own stories, using prompts and discussion covering a variety of military issues and experiences. We Are Water MN Minnesota is the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” and headwaters to the Mississippi River. We are Water MN examines the practical, spiritual, and environmental roles of water in our lives. By creating relationships around water, networks are created that can promote positive social norms, and share a vision for and participate in water stewardship.

  • Upper Harbor Terminal

    Upper Harbor Terminal

    APPENDIX A Upper Harbor Terminal ABOVE THE FALLS REGIONAL PARK MASTER PLAN PARK MASTER PLAN Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board PAGE A-1 PLANNING FRAMEWORK SEEKING A DEVELOPMENT PARTNER In 2013 MPRB concluded the majority of the ATF Regional Park planning process with a public presentation and opening of a 45-day comment period. At that time, the boundary for the regional park within the City owned Upper Harbor Terminal property was undetermined. In 2015, the Army Corps of Engineers closed the St. Anthony Falls lock and ended barge traffic to the upper river and redevelopment planning for the Upper Harbor Terminal entered a new phase. Because the City and MPRB would split the Upper Harbor Terminal between park and private development, it was critical to understand the nature of the private development. MPRB was seeking adequate width for shoreline restoration, circulation routes, and park features, while the City sought to retain adequate width to support a wide range of development options. With much of the site approximately 500’ wide, the land use and required width for development was a critical question for both agencies. After discussions with developers in 2014, there were many questions about the viability of private development, particularly housing and mixed use. In order to gain insight into the real estate and development market, the City and MPRB agreed to seek a master developer to join the planning process. The two agencies signed an agreement to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and conduct a competitive process, informed by community engagement, to find a developer. In late 2015, staff initiated the upcoming planning process by raising awareness among community members and asking for input that would help inform the RFQ.
