SUMMARY:Taubman Symposium Talk: James A. Diamond
DESCRIPTION:Within the walls of the well-known Warsaw Ghetto uprising\, another kind of resistance was mounted\, not by combatants\, but rather by a group of poets\, artists\, and historians known as the Oyneg Shabbes collective. Far less known than the Ghetto\, that literary and artistic circle composed and ultimately buried thousands of documents attesting to the suffering under Nazi oppression. Among those documents\, recovered after the war\, was a manuscript of weekly sermons delivered during three years in the Ghetto (1939–42) by Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira (1889–1943)\, Grand Rabbi of Piaseczno (Poland). As a Hasidic leader\, Shapira desperately tried to preserve his and his community’s faith confronted by unimaginable hardship\, pain\, and loss. He persisted in the face of mass deportations and continued to meticulously edit his sermons even after he had ceased delivering them and there was no longer a community to comfort and inspire. It is a rare testament to one human being’s struggle with the incomprehensible evil of the Holocaust and with his own herculean resistance to it. \nDiamond has occupied the Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Chair of Jewish Studies at Waterloo University for the past twenty-five years. He holds law degrees from Osgoode Hall Law School\, Toronto University (LLB\, 1978) and New York University School of Law (LLM\, 1979). In 1990s he received an MA (1992) and PhD (1999) in Religious Studies from the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:On Fire Talk: Keepers of the Flame: Learning to Be in Relation with Fire
DESCRIPTION:Keepers of the Flame is an initiative rooted in relationships—between cultural fire practitioners and students/faculty\, and between people\, plants\, and fire. In a context of settler colonial environmental policy and increasing risk of catastrophic fire\, Keepers centers respect for Indigenous fire practitioners\, recognition of fire as part of the landscape\, and personal\, place-based understandings with fire. With attention to the environmental injustices of land theft and fire suppression and the inequitable impacts of catastrophic fire\, through Keepers\, we begin to cultivate a respectful relation with fire. Audience Q&A and a reception will follow. \nBeth Rose Middleton is a Professor of Native American Studies at UC Davis and the author of Trust in the Land: New Directions in Tribal Conservation (2011\, UA Press) and Upstream: Trust Lands and Power on the Feather River (2018\, UA Press). A collaborative social scientist\, Beth Rose strives to develop and sustain partnerships with Tribes and Native/Indigenous non-profit organizations on environmental health\, sustainable rural economic development\, the historical and political context of river restoration\, the reintroduction of low-intensity fire for land/water/community health\, and Indigenous-led stewardship and climate adaptation. Beth Rose received her B.A. in Nature and Culture from UC Davis and her Ph.D. in Environmental Science\, Policy\, and Management from UC Berkeley. Beth Rose mentors undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs in Native American Studies\, Ecology\, Public Health Sciences\, Geography\, and Community Development. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s On Fire series and the Sara Miller McCune and George D. McCune Endowment
