Discover Something Different Fall 2020 Discover something different. Registration opens Sep 3 | Classes start the week of Sep 28 GREETINGS Welcome to Minneapolis Community Education! Our mission is to engage youth and adults in community-driven learning and enrichment opportunities. Our programs, Adult Enrichment, Minneapolis Kids, Adult Education and Youth Enrichment embrace these beliefs: • Education is a lifelong process; • Everyone in the community - individuals, businesses, public and private agencies — shares responsibility for educating all members of the community; and • Citizens have a right and a responsibility to be involved in determining community needs, identifying community resources, and linking those needs and resources to their community. We invite you to get involved. Take a class, share your ideas with a focus group, join an advisory committee, teach a class or partner with us. Due to COVID-19, Minneapolis Community Education’s fall programs will look different this year. We’ve taken steps to make sure your experience is as enjoyable as it’s always been and are offering over 300 adult enrichment classes online! See page 27 for some socially distant outside options, too. We also will be offering a wide array of other youth and adult options Like you, we wish circumstances allowed us to meet in person, but as we learned this spring and summer, we can continue lifelong learning, share common passions, and grow our community together— from a distance.

  • Antiracism and Restorative Justice in Classics Pedagogy
    ANTIRACISM AND RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IN CLASSICS PEDAGOGY: RACE, SLAVERY, AND THE FUNCTION OF LANGUAGE IN BEGINNING GREEK AND LATIN TEXTBOOKS by KELLY P. DUGAN (Under the Direction of RUTH HARMAN) ABSTRACT In Greek and Latin textbooks, verbal and visual discourses function together to construe Greco-Roman systems of enslavement. This dissertation is a critical discourse analysis of this construal based on the theories and methodologies of multicultural education and systemic functional linguistics. The findings illustrate how the linguistic resources of appraisal (feelings and character) and transitivity (agency and action) function to sanitize and normalize enslavement. The accompanying comparative analysis to 19th-century American discourses on enslavement demonstrates how the use of these linguistic resources are consistent across time and context. Therefore, although systems of enslavement in the Greco-Roman world were not race-based, the presentation of enslavement in Greek and Latin textbooks today engages in racist discourses that permeate the American education system. The eight chapters of this dissertation examine the context, theoretical framework, methodology, findings, and implications of the research. I begin with a discussion of the current context of Classics in America including its connection to White supremacy. I then narrow the scope by examining the situational context of Greek and Latin classrooms in America. At the center of this work is the analysis of Greek and Latin textbooks using multicultural education and systemic functional linguistics theory and methodology. After discussing the findings, I explore the pedagogical implications of this research. To conclude, the final chapter reflects on the research and offers a look toward future studies on enslavement discourses in American classrooms.

The exhibition A Modern Mother: Harriet ​ Powers (1837-1911) aims to identify one such woman, Harriet Powers, who lived nearly 150 ​ years prior to the publication of Nochlin’s essay, in relationship with shift toward the avant-garde abstract art at the start of the modern era. The legacy left behind from the quilts of Harriet Powers, a freed slave from Georgia, is humble, but displays an example of great art coming from intersectional disadvantage.

  • Down Time by Leslie M
    Time OOOn the An Arrrt of RRRetetetrrreateateat Finding Down Time by Leslie M. Wilson William Sidney Mount Farmers Nooning, 1836 A black man reclines on a low haystack sleeping in the hot sun while a child tickles his ear with a feather. Three white male figures occupy the immediate foreground in various forms of repose and quiet activity. The tools of their work are at hand, but these laborers are firmly in the world of a mid-day break in William Sidney Mount’s Farmers Nooning (1836). Yet, as Elizabeth Johns has persuasively interpreted Mount’s famous nineteenth-century painting, the composition’s allegor- ical dimensions suggest a far more charged significance for the black man’s sleep and the child’s prank.1 Through an anti-aboli- tionist lens, Johns posits that the “ear tickling” child who wears a tam-o’-shanter represents those who sought to ill-advisedly stir up black people, to wake them up in 1830s America (as if they did not possess their own ample motivations). If that is the case, rousing the sleeping figure is akin to the act of consciousness raising. Outstretched in resplendent, indulgent sleep—open to accusations of laziness or the even more racially charged designation of “shiftlessness”—the dormant man has the potential to be all at once peaceful and dangerous. I quietly meditated on Mount’s painting as the students of “Exhibition in Practice I” shaped the concept behind this exhibition. It then found its way into class discussion through Cameron Robertson (AB ’19), who suggested this as an artwork to consider for our exhibition Down Time: On the Art of Retreat.

    text and editing: Maia Dauner and Rolien Hoyng final editing: Janet Berlo layout and design: Heather Bischoff cover photography: Aviva Dove-Viebahn VISUAL & CULTURAL STUDIES a Spring 2007 a LETTER from OUR DIRECTOR, Joan Saab Greetings! I am writing this from Portland, Oregon where I am attending the fifth annual Cultural Association Meeting. I was invited to participate in a roundtable for Directors of Cultural Studies Programs. It’s the third such program I have been invited to this year. In each case, the story has been similar: our program continues to be a model. And for good reason, this year has been a very exciting and productive one in Rochester. In the Fall Tina Takamoto delivered the Reni Celeste Memorial Lecture, Carole Vance gave the Craig Owens Memorial Owens lecture, and we participated in a number of programs funded by President Seligman’s Humanities Fund. Among these were an exhibit and lecture by Carrie Mae Weems in the Hartnett Gallery and most recently the phenomenal graduate student conference, e Future of the Archive/e Archive of the Future, featuring a keynote exhibit by the Labyrinth Project and a lecture by Marsha Kinder. e exciting intellectual climate of the conference reflected the camaraderie and intellectual exchange that makes VCS so special. It was really impressive. We had a record number of applicants to the Program this year. Next year we will be joined by six exceptional new students: Genevieve Waller has been on a Fulbright in Germany for the past year; she is interested in contemporary art and photography. Sohl Lee is a recent graduate of Smith College.
