SUMMARY:CreativeMornings featuring Rahwa Ghirmatzion
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 13th from 8:30a to 10a\, join CreativeMornings\, featuring Rahwa Ghirmatzion at the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library. CreativeMornings remains free thanks to the support of local partners\, generous venues\, and longterm global partners. Everyone is welcome. Everyone is creative. \n\nSpend thirty seconds with Rahwa Ghirmatzion and you will be compelled to make a change. Born during the civil war in Eritrea\, Rahwa’s family fled the violence by walking for 16 days to safety in Sudan. They were then relocated to Western New York and eventually landed on the West Side of Buffalo where Rahwa was educated in the Public School System and started her path to activism. For more than 15 years\, Rahwa has worked with community-based organizations in Western New York that promote community development. She was executive director of Ujima Company\, Inc.\, a multi-ethnic professional theater company whose primary purpose is the preservation\, perpetuation\, and performance of African American theater. \nRahwa Ghirmatzion was the recipient of the 2017 Community Commitment Award from VOICE Buffalo and the 2013 Community Leaders Arts Award from the National Federation for Just Communities. In 2018\, Rahwa became executive director of People United for Sustainable Housing (PUSH Buffalo)\, a community organization that works at the grassroots level to create and implement a comprehensive revitalization plan for Buffalo’s West Side\, with more than $40 million invested in affordable housing rehabilitation\, weatherization\, and green infrastructure. In this role\, Rahwa oversees the organization’s programs and day-to-day operations\, which have grown to include housing construction\, solar installation\, job training\, and a youth center on Grant Street\, as well as outreach and advocacy on public policy issues facing urban communities. \nFor more information\, or to register\, click here.

SUMMARY:Faculty Fellows Talks Featuring: Michael Rembis
DESCRIPTION:“‘A Fact Was No Less a Fact Because It Was Told By a Crazy Person’: Popular Responses to 19th Century Asylums.” \nJoin us at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center for the ninth year of Faculty Fellows talks on Friday\, September 13th at 4p! This lecture series brings current UB humanities research out into the community – with complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres. The talk is free and open-to-the-public. \nMichael Rembis contemplates the role of mad people and their allies in protesting asylums in the 19th century United States. Historians and other scholars have been writing about the “patient turn” since the 1980s. Yet historians of madness and psychiatry remain reluctant to engage with much of the evidence left behind by mad people and their allies. Instead\, they dismiss it as unrepresentative and unreliable. This presentation\, and the larger project upon which it is based\, uses the experiences and the writings of mad people and their allies to tell new stories and to rethink old ones. \nMichael is the Director of the Center for Disability Studies and an Associate Professor in the Department of History. He has authored or edited many books\, articles\, and book chapters\, including most recently\, The Oxford Handbook of Disability History co-edited with Catherine Kudlick and Kim Nielsen. He is currently working on a book entitled\, ‘A Secret Worth Knowing’: Living Mad Lives in the Shadow of the Asylum. For more information\, click here.
