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:Co-Crafting the Just City: A panel with Jim Throgmorton
DESCRIPTION:In this session a moderated panel of readers will discuss former Iowa City mayor Jim Throgmorton’s new book\, Co-crafting the Just City. In it\, Throgmorton narrates a story about how\, using democratic processes of governance\, the residents and elected leaders of the city tried from 2012 through 2019 to co-craft their city’s future while being immersed in a complex and often contentious flow of action. It also documents what happened when he and allies on the council tried during his terms as mayor of Iowa City from 2016 through 2019 to lead their city toward becoming a more inclusive\, just\, and sustainable place; that is\, a more “just city.” The book is not fiction. Nor is it a case study driven by social scientific theories and hypotheses. Rather it is a truthful story narrated by a key participant in the unfolding of events. Throgmorton invites readers to imagine that they are witnessing the unfolding from a ringside seat\, being party to what he was doing\, thinking\, and feeling as he participated in the action\, and he invites readers to imagine they are engaged in dialogue with him as the action proceeds. \nFeaturing James A. Throgmorton\, Mary Mascher\, Zachary Oren-Smith\, Ruthina Malone\, and David McMahon. \nThis event is live and in-person\, and will be streamed live at: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel
