In Becoming Belle da Costa Greene: A Visionary Librarian through Her Letters (Harvard University Press, October 2024), Deborah Parker chronicles the making and empowerment of a female connoisseur, curator, and library director in a world where such positions were held by men. Belle da Costa Greene (1879–1950) was Pierpont Morgan's personal librarian (1908–1913) and the first Director of the Morgan Library (1924–1948). She was also the daughter of two mixed-race parents and passed for white. In the nearly six hundred letters that Greene sent to art historian Bernard Berenson (1865–1959), Parker identifies Greene's energetic pursuit of exceptional opportunities, illuminating the artistry and imaginative features of Greene's writing—her self-invention, her vibrant responses to books and art, and her pathbreaking work as a librarian. As Greene transformed a private library into a magnificent public institution, she also transformed herself: hers was a life both lived and writ large. Deborah Parker is Professor of Italian at the University of Virginia, and her books include Commentary and Ideology: Dante in the Renaissance, Bronzino: Renaissance Painter as Poet, and Michelangelo and the Art of Letter Writing. Her writings also appear in the exhibition catalog for the Morgan Library & Museum's centenary exhibition, Belle da Costa Greene: A Librarian's Legacy.

For 150 years, the United States government operated boarding schools that separated Native American children from their families and communities. The government's goal was to eradicate native languages and culture. At least 17 US Indian boarding schools existed in Washington State. A new report from the Department of Interior outlines the scale and impact of the government's effort. It identifies by name almost 19,000 native children who were sent to boarding schools across the US and roughly 1000 children who died in the boarding school system, including 60 in Washington State. While the report is among the first of its kind, native leaders are saying it's just a start towards understanding the impact of these schools. Deborah Parker, a citizen of the Tulalip tribes and Chief Executive of the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, talks about where things stand in light of the new report.

My guest for this episode is Deborah Parker Wong – the co-editor, with Pam Strayer, of Slow Wine USA. Centralas, my winery, is honored to be listed in the Slow Wine guide. I say honored, because Slow Wine is unique in the entire realm of wine scoring or recommendation guides in that it takes into account the ecological context of the wine that they recommend. All other wine scoring and recommendation guides reflect the problem that plagues wine in general – that is the problem of disconnection. When wine reviewers and guides give a 100 point score to a wine, what does that tell you about the way that the fruit was grown? What does it tell you about the way that winery conducts it business, treats its employees, manages its land, or interacts with its community? It tells you nothing about these things. Yet aren't these things vitally important to the “greatness” of a wine? Can a wine be great if it tastes amazing yet poisons children in nearby schools? And I use this example of poisoning children because it is an actual example from both Napa and Bordeaux. Our disconnection from the context of wine is the only reason we revere 100 point scores that are based on the flavor of a wine, rather than think them ridiculous. I tried to point this out at one point by creating the Ecological Wine Score, as a comprehensive, yet satirical take on giving a wine a score that is actually meaningful, and all that would have to be considered. You can see this at EcologicalWineScore.com Slow Wine and the Slow Wine Snail of Approval reconnect wine to it context in a human community and living ecosystem, and Deborah walks us through how it does this. We talk about the Slow Wine Manifesto, which I'll make available on the episode page at OrganicWinePodcast.com, and we talk about the research that is required to get behind some of the green façade that wineries rely on, and understand the complex practices that no one certification can capture. So much more goes into a wine than just its sensory evaluation or a biodynamic certification. Just for fun we talk about Drops of God which we don't spoil if you haven't seen it, and we talk about how the common idea of wine – you know, the Euro-centric monoculture that has been spread around the globe through capitalist imperialism – is actually not going down so well among young folks. Crazy, right? A big thanks to Deborah for this fun and engaging conversation, and for letting us know about Slow Wine. https://slowfoodusa.org/ Snail of Approval Support this episode by subscribing via patreon.

Ever since Donald Trump was elected President, he’s created a non-stop torrent of news, so much so that members of the media regularly claim that he’s effectively trashed the traditional news cycle. Whether that’s true or not, it is hard to keep up with what’s going on in the White House, and each new uproar makes it difficult to remember what’s already happened. Take Trump’s first cabinet meeting, way back on June 12, 2017. Remember that? It began with Trump proclaiming, “Never has there been a president….with few exceptions…who’s passed more legislation, who’s done more things than I have.” This, despite the fact that he had yet to pass any major legislation through Congress. Then it got odder. Trump listened as members of his Cabinet took turns praising him. Mike Pence started it off, saying, “The greatest privilege of my life is to serve as vice president to the president who’s keeping his word to the American people.” Alexander Acosta, the Secretary of Labor, said, “I am privileged to be here–deeply honored–and I want to thank you for your commitment to the American workers.” And Reince (Rein-ze) Priebus, still then the President’s Chief of Staff, said, “We thank you for the opportunity and the blessing to serve your agenda.” As all of the praise rained down on him, Trump just looked on, smiled, and nodded approvingly. Whats going on? Not only here but in the endless praise disguised as press releases that’s coming from the White House and Trump’s own Twitter account? Is this just good old fashioned ass-kissing or is there something more sinister happening? In their new book, Sucking Up: A Brief Consideration of Sycophancy (University of Virginia Press, 2017), Mark and Deborah Parker explore this phenomenon of excessive flattery–why people do it and how it alters the social world that we all must share. The Parkers look at examples from literature, politics, and other disciplines to give us a portrait of this false-faced, slickly tongued, morally odious character, the sycophant.

Native Opinion Episode 30 “Decisions Have Consequences” Hello From Dave and Mike Reach our show: hosts@nativeopinion.com Twitter: @nativeopinion Facebook.com/nativeopinion Leave us voice mail via speak pipe app or on our website   NATIVE  NEWS SEGMENTS   ARTICLE 1:  FORMER VICE CHAIR OF TULALIP TRIBES DEBORAH PARKER NAMED TO DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION’S PLATFORM COMMITTEE BY MARK TRAHANT / CURRENTS / 24 MAY 2016 nativenewsonline.net First the news. Then the context. The news is that Deborah Parker has been named to the Democratic National Convention’s Platform Committee. That’s both remarkable and important. She was appointed by Bernie Sanders. As Nicole Willis posted on Facebook: “I am beyond pleased that American Indian and Alaska Native issues are such a high priority for this campaign– so much that one of our platform spots has gone to Deborah Parker!” (Willis is the National Tribal Outreach Director for the Sanders’ campaign.)   Summary: What does this mean for Indian country? Well, it could mean good things for Indian country IF everyone follows through, and people are not paying lip service to win the Native vote. Ms. Parker is respected, knowledgeable and a forward-looking individual when it comes to Native concerns. Here are some of her accomplishments.    Ms. Parker, a former vice chairman of the Tulalip Tribes in Washington, was an early supporter of Sanders. Parker has much to offer any platform committee. First, she understands and can communicate the relationship between tribes and the federal government and what might be possible in terms of improvement. Second, Parker was a critical voice in the enactment of the Violence Against Women Act. She adds expertise and credibility   Article 2:    Tribal leaders call for return of remains, sacred items before auction By Emily Zentner | Cronkite News Tuesday, May 24, 2016  cronkitenews.azpbs.org/   Native Americans protest planned auction in France of sacred objects and human remains By Peggy McGlone May 24 washingtonpost.com   Summary: What are people thinking? Wait! I know! It USED to belong to Indians. They don’t exist any longer. WRONG! We do still exist. It is a common practice for non-Natives to sell articles that used to belong to their ancestors. I am not surprised they have no respect for the ancestors of Natives. Many cultures (European cultures come to mind), have no respect for other cultures, especially Native American culture(s).  As, Mr. Bradley Marshall of the Hoopa Valley Tribal Council states, he called the auction “deplorable” and said “items are living beings that belong to their communities. When we create objects we are in prayer, and a spirit goes into them,” he said. “They are part of our families.”   Title:  State Department report slams Clinton email use By Ryan Browne and Evan Perez, CNN Updated 6:23 PM ET, Wed May 25, 2016 cnn.com   A State Department Inspector General report said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton failed to follow the rules or inform key department staff regarding her use of a private email server, according to a copy of the report obtained by CNN on Wednesday.   Summary:   Hillary Clinton failed to follow State Department rules involving her email servers. I am not surprised she failed to follow the rules. Positions of power sometimes lead to the assumption of “the rules don’t apply to me.” Clinton has failed to disclose that minor detail about her not following the Department rules. I am not sure she is not the only person to not follow the Department email rules, but she IS the only one running for the office of the President of the United States. I believe that is a detail she should have cleared up before deciding to run for office, again, and a problem that should disqualify her from running.   Title: Hillary Clinton fired for lies, unethical behavior   Dan Calabrese June 13, 2013, at 10:14am westernjournalism.com   Summary:     The article, although a reprint, warrants discussion. Why? Because it helps to substantiate, Clinton’s track record of not telling the truth. Here are a couple of quotes from one of her former supervisors, Jerry Zeifman, a now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, and a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee.    “Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.” Why? “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”   Title:   Michelle Obama to SFIS grads: ‘Our world needs you’ By Robert Nott The New Mexican 27 May, 2016 Updated 3 hours ago Source:   m.santafenewmexican.com/   Summary:   The First Lady was the keynote speaker at the Santa Fe Indian School in Northern New Mexico. I was able to attend that event, via a live podcast. The First Lady was, as always a down to earth speaker who was able to relate to her audience. Mrs. Obama received a gracious welcome as only Indian country can provide. Her comments were well-received by those who attended the ceremony of the graduating class of 2016. Congratulations to all of the Santa Fe Indian School, graduating class of 2016! To use a phrase the First Lady stated; “Our world needs you.”
