SUMMARY:Harvard Case Method Project Community Discussion
DESCRIPTION:If you were a civil rights leader after Selma in 1965\, how might you have responded to the violence and worked to move the cause of voting rights forward for black Americans? This question will be the focus of a Harvard Case Method Project Community Discussion\, part of an innovative program offered by the League of Women Voters of New Canaan together with the New Canaan High School Social Studies Department on Tuesday\, June 9th\, beginning at 6:30 pm at New Canaan High School. Participants will include students\, parents\, League members\, and other interested adults from our community. This will be the first in a series of case discussions that will take place annually. \nThe cases are taken from Harvard Professor David Moss’s book\, Democracy: A Case Study. The book applies the Harvard case study teaching method to nineteen pivotal episodes in American political history\, from the drafting of the Constitution to the recent “Citizens United” Supreme Court decision. Guided by teacher questioning and in-class discussion\, students are asked to imagine themselves as important historical decision-makers and to think critically\, formulate their own positions\, and defend these positions with evidence. \nThe event gives participants a chance to put themselves in the shoes of civil rights leaders\, including Martin Luther King\, immediately after the tragedy of Bloody Sunday on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. It presents them with a dilemma faced by those leaders when they had to plot a course forward for their cause. Those attending will read the case in advance and take part in an illuminating discussion and learning experience. \nThe carefully constructed cases meet rigorous standards not only for academics but also for non-partisanship—a reason why the League of Women Voters is partnering with Harvard to make this program available to NCHS students. The League’s goal is to encourage voters to recommit themselves to the process of informed and reasoned debate\, something League members see as the cornerstone of a well-functioning democracy. \nNCHS teachers Amy Rothschild\, who advises Model Congress\, and Paul Phillips\, who advises Model UN\, were trained in the case method at Harvard in 2019 and will be moderating the discussion\, which will be held in New Canaan High School’s American Studies classroom Tuesday\, June 9th. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the program begins promptly from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm. Admission is free but space is limited. Early registration is required by emailing: ferguson_karen@yahoo.com.

SUMMARY:Emeritus Connecticut State Archaeologist Dr. Nicholas Bellantoni to Discuss Latest Book The Long Journeys Home\, via Live Webinar from New Canaan Library
DESCRIPTION:New Canaan Library is pleased to present former Connecticut State Archaeologist Nick Bellantoni\, speaking on his latest book\, The Long Journeys Home: The Repatriations of Henry Opukahaia and Alfred Afraid of Hawk. The presentation via webinar on Tuesday\, June 9 at 7 p.m. is the first in the Library’s three-part series\, “Exploring Connecticut Archaeology.” Please register online at newcanaanlibrary.org; Zoom sign in information will be provided upon registration. \nThe Long Journeys Home introduces the concept of repatriation after death\, and the part Connecticut’s state archaeologists played in that endeavor. Henry ʻŌpūkahaʻia (ca. 1792—1818) and Albert Afraid of Hawk (ca. 1879—1900) lived almost a century apart and came from different Indigenous nations – Hawaiian and Lakota. Yet\, the circumstances of Western imperialism that led them to leave their homelands and come to Connecticut where they died and were buried have striking similarities.\nIn 1992 and 2008\, descendant women had visitations that their ancestors wished to “come home” and started the repatriation process. Connecticut state archaeologist Nick Bellantoni oversaw the archaeological disinterment and forensic identifications in returning these men to their respective Native families. The Long Journeys Home chronicles these significant stories as examples of the wide-reaching impact of colonialism and the resurgence of Hawaiian and Lakota cultures.\nThe series continues with the webinar “The Ridgefield Skeletons” on Tuesday\, June 16 at 7 p.m. and ends with “The Contact Period in Connecticut: Looking at Indigenous Sites from the 1630s and 1670s” on Tuesday\, June 23 at 7 p.m. \nDr. Nicholas F. Bellantoni serves as the emeritus state archaeologist with the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History at the University of Connecticut. He received his doctorate in anthropology from UConn in 1987 and was shortly thereafter appointed state archaeologist. He also serves as an Adjunct Associate Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology at UConn and is Interim-President of the Archaeological Society of Connecticut and a former president of the National Association of State Archaeologists. His research background includes the analysis of skeletal remains from eastern North America. He has been excavating in Connecticut for almost 40 years.

SUMMARY:Wild Art: Stoddard Art Lecture Series at New Canaan Library Features Guest Lecturer Joachim Pissarro
DESCRIPTION:New Canaan Library’s annual Stoddard Art Lecture goes virtual this year\, presenting author and professor Joachim Pissarro speaking on the topic of Wild Art: art beyond the expected and revered. The live webinar will take place on Thursday\, June 18 at 7 PM EST. Please register online by clicking on the event on the Library’s Events Calendar: newcanaanlibrary.org/calendar. Zoom sign in information will be provided upon registration.\nJoachim Pissarro is interested in art worlds\, plural. \nThere is the art we learn about\, admire and revere through the traditional channels of galleries and museums\, critics and art historians. Then there is “wild art\,” which Pissarro\, himself a distinguished art historian\, tells us occupies another world – a world outside of sanctioned “taste” that surprisingly has the same power to inspire and elicit joy. \nHis first book\, Wild Art (Phaidon\, 2013)\, with co-author David Carrier\, is a celebration of over 300 offbeat\, outrageous artworks—from pimped cars and graffiti to body art\, ice sculpture\, and flash mobs. Its success led to the more philosophical Aesthetics of the Margins / The Margins of Aesthetics (Penn State\, 2018)\, in which the duo delves into what drives alternative art\, investigates its marginalization\, and advocates for a definition of taste in which each expression is acknowledged as being different while deserving equal merit. \nJoachim Pissarro is currently the Bershad Professor of Art History and Director of the Hunter College Galleries\, Hunter College\, CUNY/City University of New York. He was a Curator at MoMA’s Department of Painting and Sculpture. His teaching and writing presently focus on the challenges facing art history due to the unprecedented proliferation of art works\, images\, and visual data. \nThe Stoddard Art Lecture series was established in the fall of 2011 to enrich and broaden the community’s understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts in all its forms. The Stoddard Lecture is unique in that it is endowed; once the fund reaches a certain point from contributions the series will operate in perpetuity. It is indeed a lasting gift\, honoring lifelong learners\, benefiting others and improving the Library.

SUMMARY:‘Guide to Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios’ presented via Webinar by Valerie Balint as part of Glass House Presents at New Canaan Library
DESCRIPTION:The collaborative series Glass House Presents at New Canaan Library is pleased to present a live webinar by curator and author Valerie Balint\, speaking on the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios network that stretches across the country\, and her newly published guidebook. The live webinar will be presented on Monday\, June 22 at 7 p.m. EST. Please register at newcanaanlibrary.org; Zoom sign in information is provided upon registration. \nThe Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios (HAHS) network was created 20 years ago by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Today\, HAHS comprises 44 preserved artists’ homes and studios across America — all open to the public. From the desert vistas of Georgia O’Keeffe’s New Mexico ranch to Donald Judd’s cast iron home and studio in New York City\, the sites in the network are places of extraordinary creativity. Join HAHS program manager Valerie Balint for the launch of her just-published Guide to Historic Artists’ Homes & Studios\, the first guidebook to the network. The comprehensive guide\, with abundant imagery\, conveys each artist’s visual legacy and sets each site in the context of its architecture and landscape\, which were often designed by the artists themselves.\nSigned copies of the book are available from Chesterwood\, a National Trust historic site. \nValerie Balint is the author of Guide to Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios (Princeton Architectural Press). Prior to heading HAHS\, Ms. Balint served for 17 years on the curatorial staff at Frederic Church’s Olana (also a HAHS site)\, most recently as Interim Director of Collections and Research. She was co-organizer and co-curator of Olana’s annual exhibitions and accompanying publications. She is a frequent lecturer and writer on preserved artists’ spaces\, Frederic Church\, the Hudson River School\, and American art and social history of the mid-19th and early 20th century.

SUMMARY:New Canaan Library’s “Exploring Connecticut Archaeology” Series Wraps Up with The Contact Period in Connecticut: Looking at Indigenous Sites from the 1630s and 1670s
DESCRIPTION:New Canaan Library’s\, “Exploring Connecticut Archaeology” concludes with The Contact Period in Connecticut: Looking at Indigenous Sites from the 1630s and 1670s\, presented by Dr. William Farley on Tuesday\, June 23 at 7 p.m. via live webinar. Please register online at newcanaanlibrary.org; Zoom sign in information will be provided upon registration. \nThe first half-century of European colonization in Connecticut and the impact that this period had on the colony’s Indigenous people is the focus of Dr. Farley’s talk. This particular aspect of Connecticut archaeology will be explored by way of two Pequot domestic sites: The site of Calluna Hill\, which was occupied in 1637 during the height of the Pequot War\, and the site of Monhantic Fort\, which was occupied by Pequots and visited by their English allies during King Philip’s War in the 1670s. \nDr. Bill Farley is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Southern Connecticut State University\, where he has taught since receiving his doctorate from University of Connecticut in 2017. Dr. Farley currently serves on the executive board of the Archaeological Society of Connecticut. His work focuses on Indigenous and Euro-American interactions during the earliest decades of colonialism in Connecticut.

SUMMARY:Reducing and Recycling During the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:On a typical day recycling can be confusing\, but in a pandemic it can feel downright discouraging. Evolving health and safety guidelines plus heavy increases in household waste fuel doubts about what’s in\, what’s out\, and whether it’s possible to safely reduce and reuse. New Canaan recently contracted a new waste management company from Danbury\, Oak Ridge Waste and Recycling\, further impacting our recycling routine. \nHow is COVID-19 disrupting U.S. waste and recycling? How can I safely reduce and reuse? What does recycling contamination cost the Town? What’s the difference between Oak Ridge and our previous hauler\, City Carting? These questions and more will be addressed during this informative virtual program. \nTiger Mann\, Director of New Canaan Public Works\, will be joined by Jennifer Heaton-Jones of the Housatonic Resources Recovery Authority\, and Mark O’Brien from Oak Ridge\, to tell us how to get recycling right. There will be time for Q&A at the end. \nAll are welcome at this program co-sponsored by Planet New Canaan\, New Canaan Library\, and the Town of New Canaan.
