SUMMARY:Mid-Century Modern Vancouver - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for registering. This event is now full!\nJoin us for an exploration of the architecture and history of mid-twentieth century Vancouver with State Architectural Historian Michael Houser. Learn about mid-century modern architectural styles\, and the builders and designers who brought them to life. Houser will highlight several notable local designers including Day W. Hilborn\, Donald Stewart\, Keith Bradbury\, and William D. Cassady. \nHouser has served as the Architectural Historian for the State of Washington for more than 20 years\, and has a long record of helping building owners and the general public understand and connect with the architecture and history of their communities. Currently he manages the State and National Register programs at the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation in Olympia\, as well as Washington’s unique Heritage Barn Program. \nHouser helped heighten public awareness of post-WWII resources by establishing the “Nifty-from-the-Last 50 Initiative\,” which has documented over 300 mid-century modern buildings across the state and continues to grow. Recent projects include writing biographies of architects and building designers who practiced around the state\, and a study of the late 1950s nationwide Gold Medallion Home program\, which promoted the use of residential electricity. \nVancouver native Houser holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Idaho and a Master of Science Degree in Historic Preservation from Eastern Michigan University.  Previous jobs included working as the Historic Preservation Planner for Deschutes County\, OR. Earlier experience includes time at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn\, MI and survey work for the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. \n  \nRegistration is closed. The event is now full.  \n  \nPhoto Caption: Architect William Donald Cassady (1927-2021) designed the Fort Vancouver Regional Library (now ArtsHub) in 1963. Credit: City of Vancouver

SUMMARY:General Thomas Anderson at Vancouver Barracks
DESCRIPTION:Register today and join us for an engaging presentation on one of Vancouver Barracks’ most influential commanders! \nOhio native and Civil War veteran General Thomas M. Anderson (1836-1917) commanded the 14th Infantry at Vancouver Barracks from 1886-1898. As one of the longer-serving commanders\, he\, and also his family\, became active in the community as well as at the post. Presenter Jeff Davis (Major\, U.S. Army\, Ret.) will talk about Anderson’s service in the context of the larger history of Vancouver Barracks. Anderson’s family had long-time association with this area as he was a grand-nephew of William Clark of the Corps of Discovery\, and his namesake son also served at Vancouver Barracks. The desk Anderson used while serving in Vancouver was donated to the Clark County Historical Museum and is on display at the Howard House. \nOur speaker\, Jeff Davis\, is an archaeologist and was active with the Vancouver Barracks Military Association for many years. A native of Vancouver where his Army father was based\, Davis joined the Army Reserve out of high school and served for many years around the world\, and also at Vancouver Barracks. He has authored and contributed to many books and other publications on military and Northwest history and is a frequent public speaker and tour guide. \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited.

SUMMARY:When Your Grandpa Is a Bot: AI\, Death\, and Digital Doppelgangers
DESCRIPTION:After his father passed away\, Muhammad Aurangzeb Ahmad brought him back—digitally. To give his young children the experience of knowing their grandfather\, he created an artificial intelligence (AI) simulation he called “Grandpa Bot” that could act like his father. 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: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.

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:UFO Northwest: How Washington State Spawned the Men In Black
DESCRIPTION:On August 1\, 1947\, the tragic crash of a B-25 bomber in Washington State triggered an FBI investigation of “The Maury Island Incident”—an infamous Northwest UFO sighting\, and history’s first alleged encounter with the so-called “Men in Black.” \nThe FBI’s records from 1947\, which were sealed for decades\, reveal Cold War fears\, jurisdictional disputes\, cover-ups\, false confessions\, a courageous FBI Special Agent\, and the hands-on involvement of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. \nRelying on the FBI records\, this talk exposes a Washington story that shapes our current UFO narratives\, from 1950’s pulp magazines to the ubiquitous X-Files and Men in Black film franchises. Also examined: how the Northwest’s unique position in UFO history is challenged by others that assert contradictory narratives. \nSteve Edmiston (he/him) is a business and entertainment lawyer with Bracepoint Law\, and an indie film screenwriter and producer. Edmiston has keynoted for the Pacific Northwest History Conference\, Washington State Historical Museum\, McMenamins History Pubs\, film festivals\, conferences\, and business groups. He was the screenwriter and co-producer of “The Maury Island Incident\,” a short film chronicling the true story of Harold Dahl and his alleged 1947 sighting of a UFO over Puget Sound. \nEdmiston lives in Des Moines. \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 the 2025 series of speaker events. We appreciate you!

SUMMARY:And It Has Pockets! The Battle for Women's Clothing Equality
DESCRIPTION:How many times have you heard someone wearing women’s clothing exclaim\, “And it has pockets!” Comparisons have shown that modern garments designed for women have about half the storage space of clothing designed for men. From their invention\, pockets in women’s fashion have represented independence—so much so that in the 18th century\, laws were enacted to strip women of their personal liberty by making the contents of their pockets the property of their husband. The right to have pockets went hand-in-hand with the right to vote. And people today are still speaking out about the inequality between men’s and women’s clothing based on this simple storage system. \nJoin costume designer Diane Johnston to dig into the pockets of the past\, tracing the history of the humble pocket to determine if the battle for equality may still be decided by a few inches of extremely influential fabric. \nDiane Johnston (she/her) is a theatrical costume designer who has spent the past 33 years creating costumes for productions large and small throughout the region. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Costume Design and is a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. Johnston has always been fascinated with fashion history and the historic trends that find their way into our modern closets. She is currently designing costumes for Edmonds Driftwood Players. \nJohnston lives in Stanwood. \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. We appreciate you!

SUMMARY:Stomp and Shout: The Untold Story of Northwest Rock & Roll
DESCRIPTION:Northwest Rock & Roll’s historical highpoints are well documented—in the late 20th century\, Nirvana\, Soundgarden\, Pearl Jam\, and other grunge gods took the world by storm. Previously\, Seattle’s Queensrÿche and Heart had ruled the heavy metal realm. And prior to that\, The Wailers\, The Kingsmen\, Paul Revere and The Raiders\, and The Sonics had all fueled local teen dances with garage-rock versions of the region’s signature song\, “Louie Louie.” \nYet these iconic bands are only half the story. In this talk\, join author Peter Blecha to discover the lesser-known but vitally important bands and scenes that laid the foundation for what was to come—finally connecting all the dots between the fabled Northwest era of Ray Charles\, Quincy Jones\, and Jimmy Hendrix\, and the R&B-spiked roots of a distinct regional artform: the “Original Northwest Sound.” \nPeter Blecha (he/him) is the director of the Northwest Music Archives\, an award-winning author\, a founding curator at MoPop\, and a longtime staff historian at HistoryLink.org. Blecha’s newest book\, Stomp and Shout: R&B and the Origins of Northwest Rock and Roll\, draws on his deep knowledge as a leading expert on Pacific Northwest music history to chronicle both well-known and overlooked icons of the early Northwest Sound. \nBlecha lives in Seattle. \nClick HERE for details and registration information. This program is offered free of charge but seating is limited so register soon!\nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver.

SUMMARY:Coming Home: How the Nez Perce Tribe Regained Their Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:The Historic Trust and Humanities Washington partner to present a discussion with Trevor James Bond.  \n\n\n\nBelongings deeply important to tribal communities are often housed in museums far away from those communities. In this talk\, hear the remarkable story of how the Nez Perce Tribe and their allies purchased the largest and oldest collection of Nez Perce material culture—including dresses\, shirts\, and other regalia—from a museum over 2\,000 miles away from their homeland.   \nIn this hopeful story of cultural resiliency and making amends for past injustices\, explore issues surrounding collection and curation\, and the changing relationships between museums and Native communities. It’s a story that transcends the efforts of one Northwest tribe to show how many indigenous communities are reuniting with their heritage.  \nTrevor James Bond (he/him) is the director of the David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities and the associate dean for digital initiatives and special collections at the Washington State University Libraries. He is the author of Coming Home to Nez Perce Country: The Niimiipuu Campaign to Repatriate Their Exploited Heritage\, a finalist for the 2022 Washington State Book Award for non-fiction. \nBond lives in Pullman. \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. \n\n\n\n\nClick HERE for details and registration information. This program is offered free of charge but seating is limited so register soon!\n\n\n\n  \nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver.

SUMMARY:That Ribbon of Highway: Woody Guthrie in the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:The Historic Trust and Humanities Washington partner to present a discussion with Joel Underwood.  \n\n\n\nFolksinger and activist Woody Guthrie 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.     \nHistorian\, teacher\, folksinger\, and actor Joel Underwood performs an hour that is part concert\, part theatrical drama\, and part lecture. Sing along to “Roll on Columbia\,” “Pastures of Plenty\,” and of course\, “This Land is Your Land\,” and learn the—sometimes hilarious\, sometimes tragic—stories behind the songs.  \nJoel Underwood (he/him) is an actor\, teacher\, musician\, and historian. After 25 years teaching high school history\, Underwood got his master’s degree in American History with a focus on folk and protest music. A recipient of the Woody Guthrie Fellowship\, Underwood was granted access to the Woody Guthrie Archives in Tulsa\, Oklahoma\, to research Woody’s time in the World War II Merchant Marines. Underwood continues to tour as a musician\, both solo and with his daughter. \nUnderwood lives in Olympia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick HERE for details and registration information. This program is offered free of charge but seating is limited so register soon!\n\n\nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver. \nSpecial thanks to Umpqua Bank for their sponsorship support\, and to the NAACP Vancouver for joining us as our promotional partner for our 2024 series of speaker events.
