Pennsylvania Dutch powwower Nelson D. Rehmeyer was murdered in 1928. The Philadelphia Record called the murder trial “the weirdest and most curiously fascinating [trial] in the history of modern jurisprudence.” Because Rehmeyer's killers feared he was practicing witchcraft against them, the trial captured national attention – and nearly destroyed the practice of powwow, a Pennsylvania Dutch healing tradition. This episode features Patrick Donmoyer, Director of Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University; Daniel Harms, translator and editor of Der Lange Verborgene Freund (The Long Lost Friend by John George Hohman) and Associate Librarian, SUNY College at Cortland; Thorn Nightwind, Initiated Witch & Powwower; and Robert Phoenix, Powwowe, and author of 'The Powwow Grimoire'.

WILLIAM BADKE - ENGAGING FACULTY IN TEACHING RESEARCH PROCESSESWilliam Badke grew up in Kelowna, BC, Canada. After completing a B.A. at the University of British Columbia in 1971 and a Master of Divinity (1975) and Master of Theology (1977) he taught at a college in Nigeria, West Africa for two years before returning to teach at Northwest Baptist Theological College in Vancouver, BC. In 1985 he earned a Master of Library Science degree at the University of British Columbia and currently serves as Associate Librarian for Associated Canadian Theological Schools and Information Literacy at Trinity Western University, in Langley, BC. He has published extensively in the area of information literacy as well as fiction and spirituality. His column on information literacy (Infolit Land) appears every two months in Online Searcher and, as of 2023, in Computers in Libraries.MR. BADKE'S ABSTRACTToday's information landscape, whether popular or scholarly, has been radically transformed by the World Wide Web. This has provided significant benefits to human freedoms, education, and development. Yet our knowledge base overall is uneven in quality and possesses a significant power to mislead us. Yet academia has failed to understand that today's education must include a strong program that will increase the ability of students to handle information and do research. This is not a remedial task but a detailed one that is akin to learning a new language. To achieve these student skills, faculty members in concert with librarians, must rethink the way they educate their students. This is an urgent matter in the theological setting where searching for and knowing the truth is paramount.STACY A. TRASANCOS, PH.D. - HOW TO RESEARCH SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE IN THE LIGHT OF FAITHStacy Trasancos has a Ph.D. in chemistry from Penn State University and worked as a senior research chemist for DuPont before converting to Catholicism. She left her career to stay home with her children. In those years, she earned a M.A. in dogmatic theology and published five books on the integration of science and theology. Dr. Trasancos teaches online science and theology courses for Seton Hall University, Holy Apostles College and Seminary, and Belmont Abbey College and is a Fellow of the Word on Fire Institute. She is, at last, pursuing a second M.A. in systematic philosophy.DR. TRASANCOS' ABSTRACTThis brief presentation will show you how to navigate scientific literature that is published in global scientific journals by scientists in various fields so that you can determine for yourself the research methods and conclusions. Often in the faith and science dialogue, secondary sources in popular magazines or news outlets present a biased version of the scientific literature. A Catholic scholar can more accurately assess scientific claims by reading the scientific literature him- or herself. The reports are much easier to navigate once you understand their structure. If you can read Aristotle and Aquinas, you can read modern scientific papers.

They were talking seriously about the extinction level crisis of global warming in the 1990s, before Al Gore's foundational documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, raised public awareness. But nobody was listening. And even today, not enough people are listening. Why is this? I believe it is because scientists are trained to report even the most horrific truths expertly and dispassionately. Despite what they are telling us, we are soothed by their calm, scientific reporting. We believe someone, somewhere, behind the scenes, is fixing things, averting the danger. And to some extent, this is true. Organizations like the National Science Foundation are awarding grants and scientists are making critical discoveries about new methods to sequester carbon, break down toxic plastics, and grow food in deserts. But an extinction level crisis requires civilization-level response. We can't be saved by scientists. We have come together to save ourselves. We are not dinosaurs. We are the most intelligent, resilient species on the planet. And we can see the crisis coming. In fact, we are already dealing with the crisis in small and large ways every day. In conversations with scientists, it was suggested to me that one thing we might do is build enclosed environments to protect ourselves against a collapsing climate while we develop strategies to heal the climate where we can. This was the genesis of my book Sanctuary. Sanctuary is an enclosed, technologically sophisticated environment, where the fortunate few are hiding from what the planet has become. But are sanctuaries enough? I wanted to do two things: show what the planet might become and how we might deal with it and show real people--people you recognize, not beautiful, not strong, not courageous, but ultimately heroes because they rise, even if reluctantly, to the challenge. I wanted to show YOU. I wanted you to see yourself and to see that you are strong enough, and smart enough, to face climate change and do your part to make things better, Sanctuary makes the case that maybe the fortunate few can hide, but not forever. We have to face the damage we have done and recognize that the climate is not our enemy but our partner through its resiliency and responsiveness to the steps we take. Not everyone will survive, but some of us, hopefully enough of us, will.

Deirdre Lawrence has been the Principal Librarian at the Brooklyn Museum since late 1983. Before coming to the Brooklyn Museum, she was Associate Librarian at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She received her M.L.S. from Pratt Institute and studied art history on the graduate level. Deirdre tells us how she became a librarian at the Brooklyn Museum and why the profession appealed to her so much in the first place. We talk about the Museum’s collection. How the collection is built and how they acquire their artist books. We also wonder if Deirdre has a personal favourite within the collection. And because she is working with and around books all day, we’re curious what her personal collection consists of. Recorded at the Klingspor Museum – Symposium on the occasion of their 60th birthday – in Offenbach Germany.
