SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: Understanding the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Join the Des Moines Women’s Club on August 5th For “Understanding the Declaration of Independence\,” presented by Dr. Dennis Goldford.  \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Dr. Goldford examines this founding document in American history and its significance as more than just a statement to the British that “We’re outta here.” Examining the Declaration as a beautifully structured logical argument for why independence was justified\, Dr. Goldford guides participants through the major steps the Declaration took to make its case.

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau Presents: Promoting Peace\, Subverting Domesticity: Cookbooks Against War\, 1970-2010
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cedar Rapids Public Library for the Speakers Bureau presentation “Promoting Peace\, Subverting Domesticity: Cookbooks Against War\, 1970-2010.  \n\n\n\nThis historical project analyzes peace activist cookbooks\, revealing how such texts ignite activism\, enable community identity for subcultures and adeptly subvert women’s domestic roles. The discussion this research features further extends our understandings of cookbooks and other “feminine” genres to connect with 21st-century trends in “new domesticity” and radical home economics that position the kitchen as the place where gender and politics ferment.

SUMMARY:Thomas Dean: Green Fire
DESCRIPTION:Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our TimeThomas Dean is trained as a Land Ethic Leader through the Aldo Leopold Foundation\, a program with the goal to both introduce Leopold’s land ethic to a wider audience and also to deepen understanding and engagement through dialogue about the meaning and value of conservation. This program includes a screening of the Emmy Award-winning Aldo Leopold documentary\, “Green Fire\,” and a discussion of the film and Leopold’s land ethic. “Green Fire” is the first full-length documentary film ever made about legendary environmentalist Aldo Leopold\, author of A Sand County Almanac\, who was born and raised in Burlington\, Iowa. “Green Fire” highlights Leopold’s extraordinary career\, tracing how he shaped and influenced the modern environmental movement. The film was produced in partnership with the Aldo Leopold Foundation\, the Center for Humans and Nature and the US Forest Service\, and it was supported by funding from Humanities Iowa. “Green Fire” provocatively examines Leopold’s thinking\, renewing his idea of a land ethic for a population facing 21st-century ecological challenges. The film describes the formation of Leopold’s idea through his life and experiences\, exploring how it changed one man and later permeated through all arenas of conservation today. Through these examples\, the film and discussion challenge viewers to contemplate their own relationship with the land community.

SUMMARY:CultureALL's Open Book: Lorena Dorado-Robles and Lindsey Page
DESCRIPTION:Metamorphosis of a Monarch\nLorena Dorado-Robles \n \nLorena Dorado-Robles is the Iowa 4-H Recruitment\, Retention and Engagement State Specialist\, specifically working with diverse and untapped audiences. She is doing state-level work in the areas of College and Career Readiness\, while improving ways to specifically impact volunteer development and management with new audiences through Iowa 4-H programs. \nLorena was born and raised in Guadalajara\, Mexico\, and moved to the US with her family when she was fifteen years old. She struggled as an undocumented resident during her high school years\, losing hope in the vision to better her life with an advanced postsecondary education. After a series of life lessons\, she graduated from Buena Vista University with a BA in Human Services and a minor in Psychology. She started her Extension/4-H career ten years ago\, and she continues to find joy and learning experiences every year and continues to impact Iowa communities through her professional life. \nLorena believes that the essence of humanity is storytelling. The power of our stories is what shapes our societies. Becoming an Open Book allows her to share her personal story and create connections with those that are willing to listen. The “Metamorphosis of a Monarch” is a personal philosophy of life for her. Monarch butterflies go through four stages during one life cycle and through four generations in one year. Lorena believes that as human beings we also transform as we go through the seasons and life cycles\, just like monarchs. Her story is shaped around her cultural roots\, ancestral wisdom\, life lessons\, moments of transformation\, personal observation\, and a journey to an unknown future. \n“Outside of my professional life\, I describe myself as a joyful\, vulnerable\, and realistic being. I enjoy outdoor activities that connect me with nature. I find joy in cooking because it takes me back to my cultural roots and helps me connect with my ancestors by bringing their wisdom through my cooking skills. Painting\, drawing\, crafting\, singing\, and creative journaling fulfill me and help me better understand myself and those that are part of my life journey.”   \n‍ \n \nYou Can Be Both\nLindsey Page \n \nLindsey Page was born and raised in Central Iowa on a llama farm where she fostered a love for the land and all of its inhabitants at an early age. At Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny\, Iowa\, she studied music education\, and during her last semester\, an environmental science class turned her world upside down in the best way possible. After changing career paths\, Lindsey attended Iowa State University where she earned a degree in forestry\, minoring in animal ecology and focusing on interpretation of natural resources. Three words she uses to describe herself: naturalist\, feminist\, and optimist. She is currently part of the environmental education team at Polk County Conservation where she teaches a variety of audiences all about nature. Outside of her professional career\, Lindsey is an avid music lover\, proud Disney adult\, cat and dog mom\, national park superfan\, amateur gamer\, and thrift store enthusiast. \n‍
