Book Discussion | Coming and Going: A Unique Visual Memoir


Jim Goldberg discusses his unique work of autobiography. Since 1999, Goldberg has been photographing his daily life through all its vicissitudes and returning to his studio to re-imagine and investigate these images through a practice of collage, annotation, montage, and reconstruction for which he has become renowned. This book charts a course through the grief following the death of one’s parents, the life-altering birth of a child, the heartbreak of divorce, and the rediscovery of love. Told using a correspondingly tumultuous blend of singular and combined imagery, personal notes, collages, and ephemera, the book captures the bittersweet realities of an individual life while reflecting on the universal, inescapable comings and goings that shape us and the ways we grow to understand ourselves.

Talk | Slow Birding: How Do the Birds You Glimpse Live Their Lives? (online)


In the heart of migration, it is easy to move from one golden jewel to another, racking up warblers, vireos, tanagers, and thrushes in number. But there is another way to immerse yourself in birds, and that is the focus of Slow Birding. It involves simply watching how an individual moves through time and space, how it interacts with other birds, and what decisions it is called on to make. Get to know the commonest birds, not just by sight, but by the kinds of things they do. In her book, Slow Birding: The Art and Science of Enjoying the Birds in Your Own Backyard, Joan Strassmann tells stories about some of our commonest birds, stories that ornithologists have devoted their lives to learning. Read it and you will learn that American Robin fathers feed babies more if they have hatched from bluer eggs. Cooper’s Hawks that mostly hunt birds have a longer toe than normal to snatch them out of the sky. Male Snow Geese follow their partners to their mating grounds. Whitethroated Sparrows have something like four sexes. These and many more stories enrich our experiences of these easily seen birds. She will share a few of them in this presentation. Joan Strassmann is Charles Rebstock Professor of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis, where her research focuses on social interactions and mutualisms of amoebas and bacteria.

Discussion | The Life of a Game Hawker (online)


A screening of Game Hawker and a conversation with its star, falconer Shawn Hayes. Hayes leads a life of devotion — to both his falcons and the mountains and prairies beneath their wings. For him, the ancient practice of falconry is more than a deep partnership with raptors: it's become his life's work. Through his skill and finesse with these birds of prey, he’s carved a space for himself in a culture where people of color haven't always been welcome. His role as an American falconry ambassador has taken him to the far reaches of the globe, through strongholds of tradition and conservation. This film is about more than what humans can train birds to do — but what those birds can teach us about living in partnership with wild creatures and wild places. After the short film, there will be a Q&A with Hayes. The conversation is sure to touch on topics including wildlife conservation, identity, and belonging in the outdoors.

It examines the intended role of the submarine in the plans and doctrine of both navies, and what the submarines were expected to accomplish for both fleets during the battle, before assessing the actual accomplishments, successes, and failures of the submarine forces on both sides.
