SUMMARY:A Hub\, a Network\, an Archive: 55 Years of International Writers in Iowa City
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, which is open August 22 – December 16\, 2022\, celebrates the 55th anniversary of the International Writing Program (IWP) at the University of Iowa. This program has brought close to 1\,600 writers from more than 150 countries to the UI since 1967\, and this exhibition tells the story of the IWP’s genesis\, its role in cultural diplomacy\, Iowa City as a site of literary praxis and global networking\, and the images of Iowa that writers have carried home with them through their work. Curators Nataša Ďurovičová and Lisa Gardinier dove into Special Collections & Archives materials\, including the Paul Engle Papers\, the International Writing Program Records\, the Toothpaste/Coffee House Press Records\, and more while researching for the exhibition. Also included are items from the UI Libraries circulating collection\, IWP’s Shambaugh House\, and friends of the IWP in addition to large portraits of writers by photographer Thomas Langdon.

SUMMARY:Les Misérables film (France\, 1958) with talkback with Anna Barker and Ben Delgado
DESCRIPTION:Peasant Jean Valjean (Jean Gabin) suffered through decades in French prison for stealing a loaf of bread\, but once released\, life doesn’t automatically become easier. Not only does the community shun him as an ex-convict\, but a policeman named Javert (Bernard Blier) refuses to believe he’s a good man. Wherever Valjean goes\, Javert follows\, intent on proving Valjean is still a criminal. Yet Valjean is determined to create a new\, crime-free life for himself\, no matter what. \nPresented with a 10 minute intermission.

SUMMARY:BETH A. LIVINGSTON
DESCRIPTION:Despite efforts that have been made in the last few decades\, gender and racioethnic equity still hasn’t been achieved. What’s worse\, Black\, Indigenous\, Asian\, and Latina women are being held back more than their White counterparts. According to authors Beth A. Livingston and Tina Opie\, we need to change how we strive for equity. We must move beyond individual solutions toward collective action\, where people from historically power-dominant and marginalized groups work together\, so that all women experience the benefits of professional growth and equity.  Professor Tina Opie first started Shared Sisterhood as a movement to drive gender and racial equity in organizations. Since then\, she and professor Beth A. Livingston have worked together to spread the word to leaders across organizations\, with thousands of followers joining the cause. In this book\, they explain how to use vulnerability\, trust\, empathy\, and risk-taking to build Shared Sisterhood and break down three key parts of the process: (1) Dig into your own assumptions around racioethnicity\, gender\, and power\, (2) Bridge the divide between women of all backgrounds through authentic relationships\, and (3) Advance all women across the organization and beyond. Balancing a mix of history\, research\, and real-life examples–including the authors’ own experiences–this book encourages everyone to join Shared Sisterhood and advance equity for all. \nPublisher’s Weekly writes\, “The authors’ message will leave readers hopeful: ‘Don’t agonize\, organize\,’ they write\, quoting ‘the rallying cry of the feminist movement.’ Readers aiming to create equality at work will find great takeaways here.” \nThis event is live and in-person\, and will be streamed live at: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel
