Tian
by Johanna Caroline Schön
directed by Kayla Marie Mielke and Johanna Caroline Schön
February 13–16 | 7:00 p.m.
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater
Augsburg Students $3; General Admission $5
Who owns history? And who is allowed to tell its stories? The student-written piece “Tian” centers around these fundamental questions. This conflict becomes clear when the audience is led through the life of romantic poet Karoline von Günderrode by two characters with two very different claims to Karoline’s story: Bettine von Arnim, contemporary and close friend of Karoline, who wants to paint a strong, feminist picture; and the Playwright whose goal is to create an enticing, heart-wrenching play. The audience finds themselves in the in-betweens of history, whilst being part of Karoline’s personal journey filled with struggles, doubt, and dreams.

Court watching is a tactic to raise public awareness about our current legal system and also to hold the system accountable through witnessing, documenting, and sharing out. This is a powerful and critical tool for organizing because so much harm is never witnessed and then goes unchecked! Court watching is a tool of PEOPLE POWER against those in power!
MN Freedom Fund’s court watching program specifically watches bail hearings in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. We are hoping to raise awareness about the injustices and disparities in this specific legal system moment. We want to establish a regular presence in court to hold the system players accountable and inspire more passion for local pre-trial changes! This training will be on how to court watch with MFF and then we’ll have shifts for you to sign up for right away!
No prior experience needed!

There’s still time to apply for a short-term study abroad experience in the Netherlands during Summer Term 1!
You’ll earn eight credits (4 in sociology / urban studies, and 4 in English) in just one month. You’ll spend two weeks on campus and two weeks in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
Check out the description below:
Although many of us may be feeling fear or despair about the global climate crisis and our ability to address problems such as rising sea levels, global warming, and persistent inequalities, this study-abroad experience centers on imagination, invention, tangible change, and hope for our collective future. In our on-campus class sessions and our two weeks in the Netherlands, we’ll discuss sustainability challenges such as energy, water, food, waste and pollution, housing, and transportation. Then we’ll explore the ways in which artists, scientists, and other creative minds have addressed those challenges in fiction, poetry, policies, and practices in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. How can speculative literature and sociology help us invent and imagine new solutions to urban problems? What ideas from Rotterdam and Amsterdam might be implemented in the Twin Cities? What kinds of futures can we imagine for our rapidly changing world, and how do we transform those visions into a new reality?

This year marks 50 years since the first wave of Hmong families were resettled in the US in 1975, following US military intervention in Southeast Asia.
Join us for a study abroad in Thailand and Laos to explore the impact of war, migration, and resettlement on Hmong individuals and communities from a transnational perspective. We will learn how communities are rebuilding their lives in Thailand and Laos, making visible the historical connection and lasting impact between globalization, climate change, and the ecological destruction caused by war.
Key highlights of the study abroad include a homestay with Hmong families in Mae Sa Mai village in Chiang Mai, learning from elders in KM 52 village in Vientiane, and visiting the site of Ban Vinai Refugee Camp.

Tian
by Johanna Caroline Schön
directed by Kayla Marie Mielke and Johanna Caroline Schön
February 13–16 | 7:00 p.m.
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater
Augsburg Students $3; General Admission $5
Who owns history? And who is allowed to tell its stories? The student-written piece “Tian” centers around these fundamental questions. This conflict becomes clear when the audience is led through the life of romantic poet Karoline von Günderrode by two characters with two very different claims to Karoline’s story: Bettine von Arnim, contemporary and close friend of Karoline, who wants to paint a strong, feminist picture; and the Playwright whose goal is to create an enticing, heart-wrenching play. The audience finds themselves in the in-betweens of history, whilst being part of Karoline’s personal journey filled with struggles, doubt, and dreams.

Looking for a cool course to round out your schedule this spring? Consider taking Cultures of Violence (SOC 290)!
Street gangs and warfare. Police brutality and genocide. Domestic abuse and riots. What are the dynamics underlying these and other forms of violence? What do they have in common? How do they differ? This course takes violence in its many forms as a topic for sociological analysis. With this in mind, we will learn about the underlying social, interactional, group, and institutional dynamics that lead to violent behavior. In addition to the topics noted above, the course covers gender & violence, intergroup conflict, war propaganda, hate crime, the military-industrial complex, and so much more.
Cultures of Violence is scheduled for MWF, 1:50 – 3:00 p.m. It won’t be available again for two years, so register now!
Here’s what students are saying about it:
“This course is the definition of amazing and I honestly wish I could take it again. I would recommend this class to anyone, whether interested in sociology or not. I believe that anyone would fall in love and benefit from taking this course.”
“I loved this course! James is an incredible professor and I’ve always deeply enjoyed his classes. SOC 290 gave me a whole new perspective on sociology, violence, and culture. I am grateful I took this class!”
“[Prof.] James has always been and will forever be one of the most amazing professors I have had during my time at Augsburg. I always feel challenged, supported, and respected during his classes.”

The Sabo Center is hosting a reading group for the 2021 book, Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity’s Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira.
This book helps us learn how to:
Reimagine how we respond to crisis and relearn how to interact with difference, uncertainty, complexity, and failure
Expand our capacity to hold personal and collective space for pain and grief
Interrupt our satisfaction with modern-colonial desires that cause harm
Create space for change that isn’t driven by desperate hope or a fear of desolate hopelessness
We’re tentatively planning to gather the week of February 17th, the first full week of March, the week of March 24th, April 7th and 28th.
Please know that space is limited, we cannot guarantee a place for everyone. Email Jenean Gilmer (gilmerje@augsburg.edu) with any questions. To express interest, please fill out this form:

Court watching is a tactic to raise public awareness about our current legal system and also to hold the system accountable through witnessing, documenting, and sharing out. This is a powerful and critical tool for organizing because so much harm is never witnessed and then goes unchecked! Court watching is a tool of PEOPLE POWER against those in power!
MN Freedom Fund’s court watching program specifically watches bail hearings in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. We are hoping to raise awareness about the injustices and disparities in this specific legal system moment. We want to establish a regular presence in court to hold the system players accountable and inspire more passion for local pre-trial changes! This training will be on how to court watch with MFF and then we’ll have shifts for you to sign up for right away!

Exhibit open through May 18, 2025
All events and activities are free and open to the public.
Join us for the opening day of the Weisman Art Museum’s spring exhibition, SEEN, presented in collaboration with We Are All Criminals. This exhibition highlights the work of artists inside the carceral system, in partnership with artists on the outside. Opening day will feature drop-in artist activations in the galleries, a reading library, self-guided tours, and light bites and beverages.
Weisman Art Museum presents SEEN, an exhibition created as part of a years-long collaboration with We Are All Criminals (WAAC), curated by WAAC director and founder, Emily Baxter. SEEN features currently incarcerated artists in collaboration with artists, activists, and academics in the Twin Cities community. Together they explore issues of incarceration, isolation, healing, and coming home. Representing a range of cultural, personal, and professional backgrounds and diverse forms of artistic expression, people on the “inside” partnered with people on the “outside” based on shared creative curiosities and personal affinities. This exhibition is arranged across two galleries to evoke the experiences of “inside” (carceral) and “outside” (healing and community).
The collaborative exhibition SEEN and its related public programs aim to illuminate the effects of mass incarceration by clearing the pathways for people behind bars to have their voices heard, faces seen, and humanity recognized.

Exhibit open through May 18, 2025
All events and activities are free and open to the public.
Join us for the opening day of the Weisman Art Museum’s spring exhibition, SEEN, presented in collaboration with We Are All Criminals. This exhibition highlights the work of artists inside the carceral system, in partnership with artists on the outside. Opening day will feature drop-in artist activations in the galleries, a reading library, self-guided tours, and light bites and beverages.
Weisman Art Museum presents SEEN, an exhibition created as part of a years-long collaboration with We Are All Criminals (WAAC), curated by WAAC director and founder, Emily Baxter. SEEN features currently incarcerated artists in collaboration with artists, activists, and academics in the Twin Cities community. Together they explore issues of incarceration, isolation, healing, and coming home. Representing a range of cultural, personal, and professional backgrounds and diverse forms of artistic expression, people on the “inside” partnered with people on the “outside” based on shared creative curiosities and personal affinities. This exhibition is arranged across two galleries to evoke the experiences of “inside” (carceral) and “outside” (healing and community).
The collaborative exhibition SEEN and its related public programs aim to illuminate the effects of mass incarceration by clearing the pathways for people behind bars to have their voices heard, faces seen, and humanity recognized.

Join Augsburg University Campus Ministry in Hoversten Chapel on Thursday, March 6th at 10:00 am for the 8th Annual Fosdick Lecture on Preaching. Rev. Dr. DeWayne Davis will address the topic “Shall Untruth Win? Faithful Preaching in an Age of Mistrust and Misinformation.”
Observers have offered provocative words and phrases to describe our cultural and political moment. Post-truth. The fall of reason. Alternative facts. Can good news penetrate the noise of propaganda and conspiracy in our national discourse? Can a word of hope break through the cynicism and nihilism of cruel and radicalized politics? Now more than ever, from one-on-one meetings with parishioners to our proclamations from behind the sacred desk to our public utterances, courageous preachers must freshly voice the enduring wisdom of the Bible, the tradition, and religious experience to a people awash in propaganda and misinformation delivered through an inflammatory media landscape. Harry Emerson Fosdick summoned the courage to speak truthfully and faithfully during his time of rapid change and discoveries. Will we?
Rev. Davis joined Plymouth Congregational Church as Lead Minister in December 2020. The son of two ministers and the youngest of fifteen children in Mississippi, Dr. Davis earned his B.A. at Howard University and an MA at the University of Maryland. He was awarded an M.Div. with Honors at Wesley Seminary and a D.Min. at Luther Seminary. He is ordained in the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches. Dr. Davis brings a gift for preaching, an appetite for partnerships, a commitment to liberal theology and social justice, as well as experience in public policy work.
Coffee and Registration at 9:30 am. Lecture at 10:00 am; Reverend Davis will also preach at the 11:30 am chapel service. The lecture will also be livestreamed.
All participants are welcome. If you need accommodations, please call the University Events department at 612.330.1104 or email events@augsburg.edu.

Looking for a cool course to round out your schedule this spring? Consider taking Cultures of Violence (SOC 290)!
Street gangs and warfare. Police brutality and genocide. Domestic abuse and riots. What are the dynamics underlying these and other forms of violence? What do they have in common? How do they differ? This course takes violence in its many forms as a topic for sociological analysis. With this in mind, we will learn about the underlying social, interactional, group, and institutional dynamics that lead to violent behavior. In addition to the topics noted above, the course covers gender & violence, intergroup conflict, war propaganda, hate crime, the military-industrial complex, and so much more.
Cultures of Violence is scheduled for MWF, 1:50 – 3:00 p.m. It won’t be available again for two years, so register now!
Here’s what students are saying about it:
“This course is the definition of amazing and I honestly wish I could take it again. I would recommend this class to anyone, whether interested in sociology or not. I believe that anyone would fall in love and benefit from taking this course.”
“I loved this course! James is an incredible professor and I’ve always deeply enjoyed his classes. SOC 290 gave me a whole new perspective on sociology, violence, and culture. I am grateful I took this class!”
“[Prof.] James has always been and will forever be one of the most amazing professors I have had during my time at Augsburg. I always feel challenged, supported, and respected during his classes.”
