SUMMARY:Kim Lane Scheppele: 21st Annual Robert H. Jackson Lecture on the Supreme Court of the United States
DESCRIPTION:Kim Lane Scheppele is the Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Sociology and International Affairs in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University. She is also a faculty fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Her primary field is the sociology of law\, but she also works in sociological theory\, comparative/historical sociology\, political sociology\, sociology of knowledge and human rights. \nScheppele has studied the way that democracies have come under stress\, focusing on the rise of new autocrats\, particularly those who are elected on populist political platforms and who then use the law to undermine constitutional institutions. Now\, she concentrates in particular on changes within the European Union\, exploring the way that the EU has had difficulty holding its own against national popular movements that brought about Brexit and the rise of illiberal autocracies among the member states. \nLearn more with the event  belowhttps://www.chq.org/…/the-21st-annual-robert-h-jackson…/

SUMMARY:The Lost Journals of Sacajewea - CLSC Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Among the most memorialized women in American history\, Sacajewea served as interpreter and guide for Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery. In this visionary novel\, acclaimed Indigenous author Debra Magpie Earling brings this mythologized figure vividly to life\, casting unsparing light on the men who brutalized her and recentering Sacajewea as the arbiter of her own history. \nHere\, the young Sacajewea is bright and bold\, growing strong from the hard work of “learning all ways to survive.” When her village is raided\, Sacajewea is kidnapped and then gambled away to Charbonneau\, a French-Canadian trapper. Heavy with grief\, she learns how to survive at the edge of a strange new world. When Lewis and Clark’s expedition party arrives\, Sacajewea knows she must cross a vast and brutal terrain with her newborn son\, the white man who owns her\, and a company of men who wish to conquer and commodify the world she loves. \nLearn more with the event  belowhttps://www.chq.org/event/debra-magpie-earling/Debra Magpie Earling – Chautauqua InstitutionWelcome to Chautauqua Institution!
