Join Rob Mintz, chief curator at the Asian Art Museum, and Laura Allen, the museum's Senior Curator of Japanese Art for an engaging conversation about Murakami's blockbuster exhibition Unfamiliar People: The Swelling of Monsterized Human Ego. The show, four years in the making, takes anime and manga to new heights. This is Takashi Murakami's first solo exhibition in San Francisco. The exhibit is not only a commentary on our society, it's a nuanced examination of human behavior within an extraordinary artistic framework. Laura Allen has known Murakami since the Fall of 2019, when she visited the artist in his Tokyo studio. Together with Rob Mintz, she'll provide insight into Murakami's personality, both as an artist as well as a social scientist. She'll also talk about her collaboration with Murakami; discuss the many pitfalls she encountered along the way as well as what finally convinced him to create this extraordinary exhibit and display it at the Asian Art Museum. About the Speaker Dr. Laura W. Allen is senior curator of Japanese art at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. After receiving a doctorate in Japanese art history at UC Berkeley, Dr. Allen spent more than two decades teaching, consulting, and publishing on Japanese art before joining the Asian Art Museum staff in 2012. Since then, she has overseen an ambitious program of exhibitions, including two very different shows opening in the fall of 2023, Takashi Murakami: Unfamiliar People – Swelling of Monsterized Human Ego and The Heart of Zen.  Dr. Robert Mintz is the chief curator at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. He oversees the curatorial research program and guides the growth and preservation of the museum's art collections. Mintz is a specialist in Japanese art history with a keen interest in painting. With degrees from the University of Michigan and the University of Washington, he has spent his career working in public art museums trying to make the arts of Asia accessible and inspirational to the widest possible range of audiences.

  Can spending time in natural environments support students' well-being? The is the question that an interdisciplinary team of researchers and educators at Trinity University in San Antonio Texas wanted to answer.  Despite research showing that spending time outside does support students' mental health, the team struggled to get students to actually spend time outdoors. So they developed an innovative course combing theory, research and practice to help students improve their mental wellness and better understand how it's connected with the natural environment.   On today's episode of the podcast, Laura Allen, co-developer of the course and a professor in the department of education at Trinity University joins us to talk about what inspired her and colleagues to develop this programme, how it combines forest bathing and undergraduate research, and, most importantly, if it's helped their students.    Thanks to one of our newest Campus+ members Trinity University for sponsoring this episode.  Watch the video recording of this episode on Campus.

On her final Sunday of serving as Campus Pastor for Advent Scuffletown, Laura-Allen shares with us a message from 2 Kings.

No matter what, you always have accounts that deserve more attention.  Most of the time, it's because standard markets don't have the time or appetite for that class of business.  Often times that class is justifiably riskier and extra caution should be taken.  However, that doesn't mean they need to tolerate a below-average exchange when it comes to finding coverage.  Laura Allen, RPS Southeast Region Vice President, talks about the challenges and opportunities you face targeting small and midsize contractors.

Teehee I have been WAITING to introduce y'all to my dear friend Laura Allen (lovingly called LA) who is the host of the Almost Somebody podcast. Anytime we get together, we end up having a hot lava fire conversation about faith, living an adventurous life with God by being tuned into your specific purpose - and today was no exception! As per usual (as you can also hear in the interview we did together for her podcast), we ditch my traditional list of questions and go right into the heart of Laura's testimony, in which God called her to leave a lucrative position in tech sales and go down more of a non-traditional route with a big vision in mind. It's crazy how much we can both relate in how God called us to faith, and to quit our tech jobs to start podcasts! Further straying from convention, you'll actually hear me join her in sharing some of the more personal pieces of my testimony in how God drew me into the decision to get re-baptized and fully commit my life to him as an adult in 2019.

Join us for a fascinating conversation with Laura Allen, Executive Director of the South Arkansas Arts Center!

Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle observed that “Man is a tool-using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.” For kids with learning differences, one of the most power tools at their disposal is assistive technology. What is it? Assistive technology, or (AT), are products, equipment, and systems that enhance learning, working, and daily living for persons with disabilities. Tools that when properly implemented in the classroom or in the home can empower students who learn differently and by making learning more accessible provide them a vibrant voice in their education. On this episode, you'll discover the latest assistive tech gadgets and gizmos in an “In the Know” interview with David Dikter, chief executive officer of Assistive Technology Industry Association. Next, we'll take a deeper dive into AT in our “Ask the Experts” conversation with Google's accessibility guru Laura Allen. Later, you'll met our latest “Difference Maker,” Jeanne Betancourt, who leveraged her dyslexia to write a happy ending as a popular children's book author. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/a-world-of-difference/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/a-world-of-difference/support

In this episode I go one on one with myself. I share some things about my life, including my battle with a lifelong eating disorder and the road to recovery.

Water is one of life's most precious resources, yet abuse and mismanage it. That's not surprising because we have created a system and society that divorces ourselves from where we get our water. We take for granted the potable water in our sinks, and are ignorant about where it goes after it flows into our drains. On this episode, Laura Allen of Greywater Action helps to demystify greywater and how we can take practical steps to integrate water systems into our lives, our homes, and our yards. She provides low cost and low tech solutions that everyone can partake in. Laura is the author of The Water-Wise Home: How to Conserve, Capture, and Reuse Water in Your Home and Landscape, a phenomenal resource that should be on every Change Agent's book shelf.
