Hmong Women Together has invited Rad Azns to present on Asian and Pacific Islander resistance and resilience, the relevance of social justice in our lives, and the need to challenge and resist anti-blackness in our communities in order to achieve justice and equity for all.

Community Speakers: Rad Azns
“We are a collective of Radical Asians in Minnesota. For us, radical means that we are left of liberal, and seek systemic social change rather than reform. Radical means addressing problems at their root, and holding an expansive view of liberation. We come together in our belief in the transformational potential of Asian American peoples, grounded in a legacy of radical Asian American organizing in Minnesota and nationally. We resist oppression and hierarchies that exist within our communities, and embrace our multiple and intersecting identities. We challenge Asian American complicity in the oppression of other communities, and make solidarity an integral aspect of our work.”

If you have any questions, please contact Hmong Women Together at hwt@augsburg.edu.

The Augsburg Native American Film Series will present The Seventh Fire at the University of St. Thomas on March 16.

From executive producers Terrence Malick, Natalie Portman and Chris Eyre comes a fascinating new documentary by Jack Pettibone Riccobono, The Seventh Fire.

When Rob Brown, a Native American gang leader on a remote Minnesota reservation, is sentenced to prison for a fifth time, he must confront his role in bringing violent drug culture into his beloved Ojibwe community. As Rob reckons with his past, his seventeen-year-old protégé, Kevin, dreams of the future: becoming the most powerful and feared Native gangster on the reservation.
Together the lives of Rob and Kevin present a devastating counter-myth to textbook notions of the American dream, and they force us to confront the modern-day ramifications of what are still the most overlooked aspects of American history.

Location and Time
The University of St. Thomas
John Roach Center auditorium (JRC 126), which is located on the corner of Summit and Cleveland Avenues.
Building 2 on St. Thomas Campus Map

Interested in low-carbon housing? Come to the open house, Friday, March 3 from 3:00-8:00 p.m., to see a renewably powered house, just three miles from campus. Stewart Herman, visiting fellow in the Christensen Center for Vocation, and his wife Linda have just renovated a 100-year-old house to be “net-zero”–that is, to make more energy than it uses, by extensive use of solar electricity, geothermal heat, and thick insulation. This is perhaps only the second such renovation in the U.S. The house is located at 2021 Harriet Avenue–just off Franklin, two blocks east of Lyndale. RSVPs by February 25 would be appreciated.

February 24th, 6-8PM
Marshall Room, Christensen Center

Hmong Women Together has invited Rad Azns to present on Asian and Pacific Islander resistance and resilience, the relevance of social justice in our lives, and the need to challenge and resist anti-blackness in our communities in order to achieve justice and equity for all.

Community Speakers: Rad Azns
“We are a collective of Radical Asians in Minnesota. For us, radical means that we are left of liberal, and seek systemic social change rather than reform. Radical means addressing problems at their root, and holding an expansive view of liberation. We come together in our belief in the transformational potential of Asian American peoples, grounded in a legacy of radical Asian American organizing in Minnesota and nationally. We resist oppression and hierarchies that exist within our communities, and embrace our multiple and intersecting identities. We challenge Asian American complicity in the oppression of other communities, and make solidarity an integral aspect of our work.”

If you have any questions, please contact Hmong Women Together at hwt@augsburg.edu.

If you need accessibility related accommodation, please contact xiongp@augsburg.edu.

The Augsburg Native American Film Series presents on March 8, Red Power Energy, a documentary film that combines engaging storytelling with in-depth journalism. Told solely from the Native perspective, with a nearly all-Native film crew and all-Native Advisory Council, the film features Western and Great Plains American Indian tribes from North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. First-person stories illustrate the complex realities of American Indian reservations grappling with how to balance their natural resources with their traditional beliefs. From the historic United Nations Climate Conference to the proliferation of non-Western countries industrializing their economies through fossil fuel production, Red Power Energy offers a rare glimpse into Indian Country while further advancing a deeper understanding of the energy debate. (Official Program Description from Red Power Energy Publicity)

Larry Pourier (Oglala Lakota), the director, will host the film screening and answer questions after the screening.

Location and Time
Augsburg College
Sateren Auditorium, Music Hall, 715 22nd Ave South
Reception 6:15-6:45
Screening begins at 7:00

The Augsburg Native American Film Series presents “The Seventh Fire” a new documentary by Jack Pettibone Riccobono.

When Rob Brown, a Native American gang leader on a remote Minnesota reservation, is sentenced to prison for a fifth time, he must confront his role in bringing violent drug culture into his beloved Ojibwe community. As Rob reckons with his past, his seventeen-year-old protégé, Kevin, dreams of the future: becoming the most powerful and feared Native gangster on the reservation.
Together the lives of Rob and Kevin present a devastating counter-myth to textbook notions of the American dream, and they force us to confront the modern-day ramifications of what are still the most overlooked aspects of American history.

Location and Time
The University of St. Thomas
John Roach Center auditorium (JRC 126), which is located on the corner of Summit and Cleveland avenues.
Screening: 1:30-3:10
This event is free to the public

Join us for EAST Research Fellow Dr. Nimo Abdi’s public lecture Wednesday, February 22 at 5 p.m. in OGC 100. Dr. Abdi’s qualitative research explores the intersection of race, religion, gender, and class in immigrant and refugee education. She found that both female and male students internalized mainstream American discourses about Muslims and immigrants, which in turn, affected their worldview. Abdi’s work seeks to inform school policies geared toward creating inclusive school environments for all students. Light refreshments served.

China has a long, rich music heritage that is well integrated into ancient healing practices. Through visits to Beijing area hospitals, clinics, musical venues, conservatories, and community organizations that provide health related care, students experience the interplay of music and healing practices in China.

This program will also spend several days at a burn camp in Chongqing. This is a free camp designed for children ages 6-18 who have experienced burns, but do not have access to outpatient treatment. The camp helps children develop communication and social skills, confidence, psychological well-being, and physical wound healing

We will also visit other locations of interest such as The Great Wall, Old-Town Beijing, Dazu Rock Carvings, Yangtze River Cruise and more.

This program is designed for Music Therapy students, but would also be of interest to students in pre-med, nursing, psychology, social work, etc.

Protest! Lessons from the (Militant) Suffragettes

Did you go to the Women’s March last month? Looking for the next step? Wondering what protest strategies can be effective? History professor Jacqui deVries will share stories from the women’s suffrage movement in the early 20th century, when thousands of women adopted “militant” strategies in their fight for the right to vote. Perhaps we can learn something useful from their successes … and their failures.

Protest! Lessons from the (Militant) Suffragettes

Did you go to the Women’s March last month? Looking for the next step? Wondering what protest strategies can be effective? History professor Jacqui deVries will share stories from the women’s suffrage movement in the early 20th century, when thousands of women adopted “militant” strategies in their fight for the right to vote. Perhaps we can learn something useful from their successes … and their failures.

The Augsburg Native American Film Series presents: Red Power Energy on March 8 at Augsburg College, Sateren Auditorium. This event is free.

Red Power Energy is a documentary film that combines engaging storytelling with in-depth journalism. Told solely from the Native perspective, with a nearly all-Native film crew and all-Native Advisory Council, the film features Western and Great Plains American Indian tribes from North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. First-person stories illustrate the complex realities of American Indian reservations grappling with how to balance their natural resources with their traditional beliefs. From the historic United Nations Climate Conference to the proliferation of non-Western countries industrializing their economies through fossil fuel production, Red Power Energy offers a rare glimpse into Indian Country while further advancing a deeper understanding of the energy debate. (Official Program Description from Red Power Energy Publicity)

Larry Pourier (Oglala Lakota), one of the director’s of this film, will host the film screening and answer questions after the screening.

The Augsburg Native American Film Series in collaboration with the American Culture and Difference program (University of St. Thomas) presents: The Seventh Fire at St. Thomas. Free.

From executive producers Terrence Malick, Natalie Portman and Chris Eyre comes a fascinating new documentary by Jack Pettibone Riccobono, The Seventh Fire.

When Rob Brown, a Native American gang leader on a remote Minnesota reservation, is sentenced to prison for a fifth time, he must confront his role in bringing violent drug culture into his beloved Ojibwe community. As Rob reckons with his past, his seventeen-year-old protégé, Kevin, dreams of the future: becoming the most powerful and feared Native gangster on the reservation.
Together the lives of Rob and Kevin present a devastating counter-myth to textbook notions of the American dream, and they force us to confront the modern-day ramifications of what are still the most overlooked aspects of American history.

Join leadership of the Marketing and Communication division at one of two remaining information sessions to learn about work being done to prepare the Augsburg College community for the potential change of the name of our institution to “Augsburg University.”

You’ll learn about:
–A flexible messaging platform that allows members of the community to address Augsburg’s anticipated name change in meaningful and authentic ways and that address our reality, reputation, and promise.

–A new logo, spirit mark, and seal being developed and reasons and insight into the changes.

–A rough timeline for communicating the change, should it be approved by the Augsburg Corporation, to important audiences including throughout campus, with alumni and donors.

–Work done to date to prepare for the potential name change, including the development of a database to track all the places we will need to change our name from monument and freeway signs to letterhead and legal documents, and from athletics equipment and uniforms to business cards and anything else you can think of!

–How you can help Marketing and Communication make sure we don’t miss anything.

An informational session will be held:
–Wednesday, February 15; 11:00am—OGC 100

We know we won’t be able to answer every question you might have just yet, but knowing what you are thinking about will help us prepare for some of the individual department meetings and summer trainings we anticipate.

This potential change will impact our community in small and large ways, and we’re looking forward to sharing where we are now, how you can support and participate in this project, and our next steps.
