SUMMARY:See the Historic Vancouver Barracks in 3D!
DESCRIPTION:Major Jeff Davis (US Army\, retired) will be discussing and sharing stereoscopic images taken at Vancouver Barracks in the 1870s and 1880s by visiting photographers documenting the people and places where they lived. The technique of combining photographs to create a 3-dimensional effect\, or stereoscopy\, dates to 1838. In the decades before moving pictures and television\, people spent many evenings looking at large collections of stereoscopic images in their own homes. These collections frequently focused on architecture and events in faraway lands. \nMajor Davis grew up around the Vancouver Barracks\, where both he and his father served. He also served in Italy\, Japan\, Korea\, and at Ft. Lewis\, Washington. He deployed to Bosnia and twice to southwest Asia for Operation Enduring Freedom. A credentialed military historian\, he has written several books and papers on World War II\, the Global War on Terrorism\, and life at the Vancouver Barracks. \nThe program is free\, but seating is limited. Please register at jddavis@rocketmail.com. \nPhoto: Grant House\, courtesy of Major Davis

SUMMARY:Have You No Sense of Decency? Shame in American Politics
DESCRIPTION:From the use of pillories and stocks in colonial America to the rise of “cancel culture\,” use of shame as a weapon has a long history in the United States. And it has been used to mixed effect in the political arena when used to target politicians and their supporters.    \nProfessor Carolyn Long examines the rise of shamelessness in American politics and the use of shame against those with whom we disagree. When shame is used to demonize others\, does it contribute to political polarization? Are shame and shamelessness equally destructive to our politics and society? Can shame be used effectively in politics without demonizing the person being shamed? And if this is the case\, how can we fix this and improve our political discourse?    \nThursday\, September 18\, 2025\n6:00 pm – 7:30 pm\nRed Cross Building\n605 Barnes St.\, Vancouver\nPart of the Humanities WA Speakers Series presented by Hawthorn Senior Living \n\n\n\n \nSpeaker Bio\nCarolyn Long (she/her) is an associate professor at Washington State University Vancouver’s School of Politics\, Philosophy\, and Public Affairs. Her research focuses on American politics\, policy\, and law. She is the author of Mapp v. Ohio: Guarding Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures\, and Religious Freedom and Indian Rights: The Case of Oregon v. Smith\, and the recipient of two Fulbright Scholar Awards. She was the Democratic nominee for the Third Congressional District in 2018 and 2020. \nLong lives in Vancouver. \nThis talk is presented in partnership with The Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service\, which educates citizens across the state about democratic institutions and public affairs\, and is based at Washington State University. For more information\, visit The Foley Institute’s website. \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited.

SUMMARY:The Trickster: How this Ancient Archetype Helps Us to Imagine a Better World
DESCRIPTION:What do Loki\, Banksy\, Bugs Bunny\, Thelonious Monk\, Mae West\, Yoko Ono\, Raven\, Eshù Elégba\, and Muhammad Ali all have in common? Whether deity or human\, all bring Trickster magic to our world.   \nThe Trickster\, a character who animates and enlivens humanity’s oldest stories\, is frequently misunderstood. Wander and wonder with author Shepherd Siegel through the paradoxes\, art\, tricks\, backfires\, pranks\, pratfalls\, and messianic acts that together form this indestructible component of our collective psyche. From that common ground\, we’ll share our own personal encounters with tricksterism and come to an understanding of how the journey from moral indeterminacy to moral discovery can inspire us to imagine and create a better world.  \nThursday\, October 9\, 2025\n6:00 pm – 7:30 pm\nRed Cross Building\n605 Barnes St.\, Vancouver\nPart of the Humanities WA Speakers Series presented by Hawthorn Senior Living \n \n \nShepherd Siegel (he/him) is an author and activist. He started off as a professional rock and jazz musician before becoming a teacher for incarcerated youth and students with disabilities. He earned his doctorate at University of California\, Berkeley\, with studies in anthropology and special education. His recent books\, Disruptive Play and Tricking Power into Performing Acts of Love (a Bronze Winner for an INDIES Book of the Year Award and Silver winner of a CIPA Evvy)\, explore the Trickster in politics and culture. \nSiegel lives in Seattle. \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited. Please reserve your spot HERE. \nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver. Special thanks to the NAACP Vancouver for joining us as our promotional partner for our 2025 series of speaker events.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! Woody Guthrie: A Musical History Performance by Joel Underwood
DESCRIPTION:**This event is sold out! No waiting list and no standby ticket sales at door \nMusician\, historian\, and storyteller Joel Underwood returns to Vancouver for a very special two-act performance (with intermission) about the life and music of folksinger and activist Woodie Guthrie. \nGuthrie composed 26 songs in 30 days while riding along the Columbia River and touring the Grand Coulee Dam Project in 1941. With his unique\, authentic voice\, he chronicled both the grandeur and the perils of what he called “The Greatest Thing That Man Has Ever Done” as an employee of the Bonneville Power Administration. His time here in the Pacific Northwest inspired a swell of patriotism that led Guthrie to enlist in the U.S. Merchant Marine in World War II\, after which he returned home to fame and notoriety\, but also to tragedy and tremendous personal loss. \nThis interactive musical history performance will have you singing along to “Roll on Columbia\,” “Pastures of Plenty\,” and of course\, “This Land is Your Land\,” and learning the—sometimes hilarious\, sometimes tragic—stories behind the songs. \nTickets are $18 in advance and include any applicable taxes and fees. Space is limited and tickets may sell out prior to the event. If available\, tickets will be sold at the door for $25 each. \nGeneral admission seating in Providence Academy Chapel pews will be available on a first-come first-served basis. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. (30 minutes prior to performance start time). Free parking is available in the Providence Academy lot (the Aeon Apartments parking lot is NOT available for event parking). \nThis event is a fundraiser for The Historic Trust\, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Proceeds from ticket sales support its mission to inspire civic pride and economic vitality through education\, preservation\, and celebration of our community’s history.

As his kids grow up interacting with Grandpa Bot\, Ahmad has had to confront firsthand the increasingly blurred lines between what is human and what is code.   \nIn this talk\, Ahmad uses his experience to explore how artificial intelligence will transform our society\, culture\, and relationships. How might AI change what it means to be human? What does it mean to remember a loved one? What is personal identity? Join him for a talk about how technology is shaking up the foundational questions of life.  \nThursday\, November 13\, 2025 \n6:00 pm – 8:00 pm \nRed Cross Building \n605 Barnes St.\, Vancouver \nPart of the Humanities WA Speakers Series presented by Hawthorn Senior Living \n \n \nMuhammad Aurangzeb Ahmad (he/him) is a research scientist at the University of Washington’s Harborview Medical Center and an affiliate assistant professor in the department of Computer Science at the University of Washington\, Bothell. He earned his PhD in computer science from the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on artificial intelligence\, algorithmic nudging (using algorithms to change human behavior)\, and personality emulation (software that can act like humans). He thinks extensively about the social\, cultural\, and ethical impact of AI and machine learning. \nAhmad lives in Bothell. \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited. Please reserve your spot HERE. \nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver. Special thanks to the NAACP Vancouver for joining us as our promotional partner for our 2025 series of speaker events.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! Paul Hayden Kirk and Midcentury Modern NW Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Discover one of the key figures in Pacific Northwest modernism\, who overcame polio as a child and reputational damage during the Red Scare to become the most influential architect our region has yet to produce. \nIn the mid-20th Century\, our state was slow to adopt the modern architectural trends flooding Europe\, the East Coast\, and California. But smartly\, Paul Hayden Kirk blended the clean look of modernism with our region’s tradition of building with wood\, and crisp lines with Japanese and Native American influences. This talk explores Kirk’s life\, along with examples of his work\, to paint a portrait of a true Northwest innovator. \nSpeaker Dale Kutzera is the author of Paul Hayden Kirk and the Rise of Northwest Modern\, the first monograph on the father of mid-century design in the Pacific Northwest. Kutzera has spent his life largely in the arts sector and entertainment industry. \nDale lives in Seattle. \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited. Please reserve your spot HERE. Thank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver. \nPart of the Humanities WA Speakers Series presented by University Village.
