Podcast appearances and mentions of Walter H Annenberg

Walter Annenberg Lecture: Jaune Quick-to-See Smith Whitney Museum of American Art May 18, 2023 6:30–7:30 pm For over five decades, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, a citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, has examined and interpreted life in America through Native ideology, focusing on pressing issues of land, racism, and cultural preservation. Her pointed and often humorous works employ a rich visual vocabulary inspired by modern art historical movements like Pop and Abstract Expressionism and potent symbols of her own culture and identity, such as horses, bison, and canoes, to challenge the mainstream narratives and visual languages of American culture. For this program, Smith joins Adam Weinberg, Alice Pratt Brown Director, for a conversation about her life and work. In honor of the late Walter H. Annenberg—philanthropist, patron of the arts, and former ambassador—the Whitney Museum of American Art established the Walter Annenberg Annual Lecture to advance this country's understanding of its art and culture. Support for this lecture and for public programs at the Whitney Museum is provided, in part, by GRoW @ Annenberg, a philanthropic initiative led by Gregory Annenberg Weingarten, Vice President and Director of the Annenberg Foundation, and by members of the Whitney's Education Committee.

When spaces are inaccessible, they aren't inclusive, literally and figuratively, which affects us all. Meet Lakshmee Lachhman-Persad, a digital marketer, and her sister Annie Lachhman, an artist born with cerebral palsy who uses a wheelchair. Originally from Guyana, they often seek out New York City's cultural offerings with their multi-generational family. When Lakshmee found there wasn't much practical information available for planning visits for people with disabilities, she founded Accessible Travel NYC, a website to share stories, photographs, and realistic tips about getting around. Hear how visits to The Met have inspired Annie's creativity and deepened Lakshmee's view that disability—whether among artists or others—is something to be celebrated, not overcome. Guests: Lakshmee Lachhman-Persad, digital marketer and founder of Accessible Travel NYC and Annie Lachhman, artist Featured object: Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926). Water Lilies, 1919.

We typically invite scholars, makers, and professionals out to brunch for an informal conversation about their work, and then we turn those brunches into a podcast.But for these bonus mini-episodes, we change things up a bit, asking Notre Dame researchers to talk about something that both makes them happy and has no direct connection to their academic pursuits.In other words, if you thought a podcast recorded over brunch couldn’t get even more casual, you’d be wrong.Here, Richard Jones, Walter H. Annenberg-Edmund P. Joyce Director of Notre Dame’s Gallivan Program in Journalism, Ethics, and Democracy, and Victoria St. Martin, distinguished visiting journalist with the Gallivan Program and the print publications coordinator with Notre Dame Student Media, join host Ted Fox via Zoom to discuss a musician whose art dared us to love each other for exactly who we are:Prince.LINK:Richard and Victoria’s previous appearance on the podcast: “On Real News and Purple Rain” (ep. 1.4)

The idea behind this show is pretty simple: We invite scholars, makers, and professionals out to brunch for an informal conversation about their work, and then we turn those brunches into a podcast. It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.Bob Schmuhl, now a professor emeritus at Notre Dame, joined the university’s faculty in 1980. He was the founding director of Notre Dame’s Gallivan Program in Journalism, Ethics, and Democracy and was later named the inaugural Walter H. Annenberg-Edmund P. Joyce Professor of American Studies and Journalism. His areas of expertise include the modern American presidency and the relationship between American politics and the media.Bob is the author or editor of some 15 books, the most recent of which prompted the conversation here. In The Glory and the Burden: The American Presidency from FDR to Trump, published in 2019 by the University of Notre Dame Press, he examines the institution that is the presidency rather than focusing on the individual occupants of the White House.He and host Ted Fox discussed potential reforms to how Americans elect the president, including the idea of regional primaries, as well as the path to the present state of our politics and the sense of possibility Bob believes the presidency should represent.LINKBob’s latest book: The Glory and the Burden: The American Presidency from FDR to Trump

Fake News. Post-truth. Alternative Facts. Conspiracies. Bot-generated posts. Lies, lies, lies. When will it stop?! We are living in an exciting and disorienting time when truth, it seems, is up for grabs. In Democracy and Truth: A Short History, Sophia Rosenfeld explains that a crisis of truth is not new and that democracy has always (at least in its modern forms) had to find a way to mediate expert knowledge (of the elites) with the wisdom of the crowds and common sense. How can we define the truth in a democracy, where everyone's opinion is supposed to matter? Is the current political climate truly different from earlier times, when people lied to gain advantages, politicians concealed things to protect themselves, their party, or the country, and people had a healthy distrust of educated, powerful elites?  I spoke with Sophia Rosenfeld, Walter H. Annenberg Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania and the author of Common Sense: A Political History, A Revolution in Language: Signs in Late 18th Century France, and Democracy and Truth: A Short History.

Annenberg Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania and the Fletcher Jones Foundation Distinguished Fellow, examines the campaign of the mostly lay judiciaries of the Calvinist Scottish kirk, or church, to impose a strict and highly invasive sexual discipline on their towns in the century following the Protestant Reformation.

What region wouldn't want to become the next Silicon Valley or Research Triangle? It could be within reach with the right public policy and investments in higher education. An educated workforce is a fundamental factor in determining the economic performance of regions around the United States. But other advanced nations are ahead of the U.S. in the level of education among young adults. Our panel will discuss how to address this and more. What actions should be taken by policymakers, educators, business executives and civic leaders? How can we make education more accessible and affordable, increase graduation rates and strengthen coordination between industry and institutions of learning? What strategic educational investments would improve regional and national competitiveness, and what occupations would bolster the economy most in the 21st century?
