    Richard Steeves, Emeritus Faculty from the UW Med School and Tom Eggert, Emeritus Faculty from the Nelson Institue will share perspectives on the future role of nuclear power.  Richard heads up the local group "Rethinking Nuclear" (see https://rethinkingnuclear.org/) and has been an advocate for greater use of nuclear power.  Tom taught classes through the WI School of Business and the Nelson Institute on the role of business in creating a sustainable future and led the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council.  They share a concern for the risk of climate change, both now and in the future, but they diverge on their embrace of nuclear power.  Come listen to a new spin on the old argument of whether or not nuclear power deserves to be included in the future energy mix.

    Dr. Richard Steeves is an Emeritus Professor of Radiation Oncology at the UW School of Medicine.  He currently heads up the group "Rethinking Nuclear" which promotes nuclear power as a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Since 2010 he has also been leading a discussion group called “Pathways to a Sustainable Planet”, for PLATO. His experience in handling X-rays and radioactive isotopes, both in the USA and at the Curie Institute in Paris, prepared him for delving into the potential benefits of atomic energy for solving our impending climate crisis. Cleaning up our generation of electricity is a good way to start, for transportation as well as for home and industrial use. Dr. Steeves drives an electric car and flies an electric airplane.

    Tom Eggert has emeritus status at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he developed classes in sustainability and systems thinking.  He taught the first class on sustainability at UW in 1994 and has received numerous teaching awards.  He served on the UW task force that created the Office of Sustainability, he was a Fulbright Scholar to Latvia (where he taught classes on sustainability) and he was one of the co-developers of the School of Business’ certificate in Business, Environment & Social Responsibility.  In 2008, he founded the WI Sustainable Business Council, and served as the Executive Director until his retirement in 2018.  In addition, he founded and oversees Wisconsin Microfinance; a non-profit that raises money for microloans. 

    If you have preliminary questions for the speakers, please email them in advance to program coordinators Tom Eggert at tleggert@wisc.edu by Thursday, March 16.

    Here’s a great chance to learn how UW-Madison uses social media to communicate about our amazing university with a wide range of audiences from Jennifer (Koppelman) Matteson, Social Media Manager, University Communication.

    Is social media valuable for an institution of higher education? The answer is a definite yes! While it can be easy to get distracted by ever-changing trends and algorithms, at its core, social media is an enduring and valuable communication tool for a university. Social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn, provide UW–Madison with unique platforms for sharing the expertise, research and successes of our faculty, students and alumni. They also present opportunities to amplify their voices, create strong engagement among our campus community and reach new audiences. Join us to learn how UW–Madison University Communications effectively conceptualizes, strategizes and manages its social media channels as digital extensions of campus to keep our community informed and engaged. No social media knowledge necessary!    #OnWisconsin

    We know people have greatly valued our Four Lakes (DeJope) area for centuries, because they built roughly 1,200 effigy (animal/spirit-shaped) and other mounds on the high grounds overlooking the lakes starting about 800 BC. While the vast majority was destroyed through development, our guide will lead us on a two-mile walk where you will see remaining conical, linear, and effigy mounds. You will also learn the fascinating background of the indigenous people who lived, traded, hunted and fished the shores of Lake Mendota going back 12,000 years. By the end, you will know what to look for in finding the indigenous earthworks that we so often overlook in our midst. (Photo by Teri Venker)


    Teri Venker is a volunteer docent and researcher for the Madison Trust for Historic Preservation. She also leads tours of Indian Mounds around the Madison area, which partly stems from her lifelong interest in Native American history and culture. Her career at the UW was in marketing and communications for the UW-Madison’s Wisconsin Union, the UW Colleges and UW-Extension. Teri is a UWRA member.

    Join us for a discussion with Christy Clark-Pujara, PhD, Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, UW-Madison.  She is the author of Dark Work: The Business of Slavery in Rhode Island, NYU Press.

    Free and enslaved Black people lived, labored, and raised families on the Wisconsin frontier; they called Prairie du Chien, Racine, Green Bay, Lancaster, Milwaukee, and Menominee home. Yet their stories remain largely untold. Black Americans were a tiny minority in Wisconsin territory and later the state; nevertheless, the practice of race-based slavery and anxieties about Black migrants led white Wisconsinites to dispute abolition and the rights of Black residents. In the mid-nineteenth century, fugitive slaves passing through Wisconsin were often met with assistance, while Black permanent residents were politically and socially ostracized. Black freedom was contested in Wisconsin before the state existed and Africans were steadfast in the pursuit of liberty from the colonial period through the modern civil rights movements.

    If you have preliminary questions for the speaker, please send to Program Coordinator Michael Bernard-Donals at michael.bernarddonals@wisc.edu by Wednesday, September 27.
