This week, scholar Marilyn Sanders Mobley visits the AWM to discuss her book Toni Morrison and the Geopoetics of Place, Race, and Be/longing, which Henry Louis Gates, Jr. calls a "powerful and learned meditation, and one that deserves a prominent place in the field of Morrison studies." Mobley is joined in conversation by poet Parneshia Jones. This conversation originally took place October 15, 2024 and was recorded live at the American Writers Museum.AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOMEMore about Toni Morrison and the Geopoetics of Place, Race, and Be/longing:Toni Morrison's readers and critics typically focus more on the “what” than the “how” of her writing. In Toni Morrison and the Geopoetics of Place, Race, and Be/longing, Marilyn Sanders Mobley analyzes Morrison's expressed narrative intention of providing “spaces for the reader” to help us understand the narrative strategies in her work.Mobley's approach is as interdisciplinary, intersectional, nuanced, and complex as Morrison's. She combines textual analysis with a study of Morrison's cultural politics and narrative poetics and describes how Morrison engages with both history and the present political moment.Informed by research in geocriticism, spatial literary studies, African American literary studies, and Black feminist studies at the intersection of poetics and cultural politics, Mobley identifies four narrative strategies that illuminate how Morrison creates such spaces in her fiction; what these spaces say about her understanding of place, race, and belonging; and how they constitute a way to read and re-read her work.MARILYN SANDERS MOBLEY is Emerita Professor of English and African American Studies at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She is the author of Folk Roots and Mythic Wings in Sarah Orne Jewett and Toni Morrison: The Cultural Function of Narrative and a spiritual memoir, The Strawberry Room, and Other Places Where a Woman Finds Herself.PARNESHIA JONES studied creative writing at Chicago State University and earned an MFA from Spalding University.

Nicole Clarke-Springer isn't losing sleep over the final product; as a dancer and choreographer, she's more interested in the process. She says the communal nature of her work is what makes the performance authentic and affects the audience. Nicole shares with Jeanne why she threw out her plan to move to New York City for training; what the three points of collaboration are when she's choreographing and why they matter; how embracing the process contributes to her success; why listening to your intuition is important; and why she doesn't tell herself she will do better.Nicole Clarke-Springer, with a B.S. in arts administration-dance from Butler University, excelled early, honored as Butler Ballet's Outstanding Performer. Her career blossomed at Deeply Rooted Dance Theater (DRDT), starting as an apprentice before becoming a company member.

The Mental Game is now on Patreon. For just a few bucks per month, you can become a Mental Gamer and unlock access to exclusive bonus episodes, Q&As and more: ⁠patreon.com/TheMentalGamePod⁠ We've arrived at the second episode of My Playbook, an all-new Mental Game Podcast series. In case you missed the first “My Playbook” with Reggie Hearn, click HERE. To catch you up: On My Playbook, the world's top athletes, coaches, psychologists and more will peel back the curtain on their personal playbooks for dealing with the ups and downs of life, mental health and their careers. The second guest on My Playbook is Division I college basketball coach and former player Tiffany Sardin. Sardin is fresh off a stint at Saint Louis University, where she was a key member of a staff that guided the Billikens to an Atlantic 10 championship. Previously, Sardin was the head women's basketball coach at Chicago State University after assistant stints at Clemson, UIC and Longwood, among others. As a player, Sardin served as a three-year captain at the University of Virginia. She then played professionally in Portugal before coaching. I worked closely with Sardin at Chicago State, when I was a broadcaster and sports information director for her teams. I witnessed firsthand her unique mental game-focused coaching style, unafraid to talk mental health and to impact cerebral wisdom on her players. When the Cougars were struggling, Sardin almost always attributed the strife to something mental — and it was no different when they won. Sardin has also battled immense personal setbacks, including the tragic losses of her brother and father in quick succession. Coping with those losses forms the backbone of Sardin's appearance on My Playbook, in which she gives you her formula for battling loss, recovering and moving on. Enjoy and remember to be kind to yourself.

Olga Payne has been an educator in Chicago since 2005 where she served as a high school English teacher for 14 years prior to her transition to the elementary level. Oddly enough, she always assumed the trainer role (officially and unofficially) in her previous professional endeavors which positively impacted her subsequent career. In 2005, she graduated from Chicago State University with a Bachelor's in English with a Secondary Teaching Option and returned to obtain a Masters in Special Education in 2013. While balancing a full-time career, she is currently completing a doctorate of education at Concordia University Chicago. Her belief that, “All children can learn” is evident through newly curated and tried and true methods. She deems it important for educators to find ways to meet students on their level by using various unit plans with real-life applications -- many of which she's developed herself. She says the most rewarding part about teaching is hearing from former students about the impact she's had on their lives. Olga is currently embarking on new professional endeavors that will provide the opportunity to serve collegiate students. Outside of education, Olga has developed a love for crafting and enjoys creating handmade cards and constructing fine leather clutches.

When Zaldwaynaka (“Z”) Scott became president of Chicago State University in 2018, things were in pretty dire straits: the state budget had been slashed, operations rolled back, and they had gone years without permanent leadership. A mere four years later, things look very different and CSU is now in the top 4% of universities nationally for supporting students' economic mobility. She explains how she turned things around and why, as she likes to say, “a strong Chicago State … is a strong United States.”

Elliott Charles joined me last week for an hour conversation about Chicago State. Days after recording, Charles was reported as leaving the institution for a consulting opportunity. With his permission I have made this podcast available as a resource for those interested in becoming the next AD at Chicago State University.

Then Charles talks about experiences the last two years leading through Covid-19 and his thoughts on the recently tabled legislation of the 21st Century Model for men's soccer after helping with the initial proposal while at Clemson.

Homicides this year in Chicago are on track to be similar to last year, one of the deadliest years in decades, and carjackings are up 50 percent. Some residents want more police on the streets, on the CTA, and in neighborhoods. But there's also pressure to invest in mental health facilities, community development, and alternatives to police. In an attempt to address concerns, the city is hosting a series of town halls across Chicago. So far, there has been a virtual meeting for North and Northwest Side residents, and in-person events at Garfield Park on the West Side and Chicago State University on the South Side. These town halls aren't new, so are residents really getting the answers they are looking for? Producer Simone Alicea has been covering the town halls and answers that question.  Public Safety Town Halls Some Good News: Jacoby hosts "The Moth" at Evanston SPACE Follow us on Twitter: @CityCastChicago Sign up for our newsletter: chicago.citycast.fm Call or Text Us: (773) 780-0246 Learn more about your ad choices.
