having heard the lecture and i'm so glad i did. it was a delight to read. >> i'm also reading a book on dark money. that's also a delight to read, not because of her but the stories are pretty disturbing story about really the unbelievable influence of right-wing billionaire money in american political life. it's not only buying television time for candidates, it's infiltrating think tanks and universities in so-called citizen movements with very special interest in big money. it's really a very disturbing thing for all americans to consider the wholesale purchase of our political life in many, many aspects by a group of determined ideologues who just have a lot of money. >> where did you get the idea for that book? >> actually, it was sent to me here and i thought i ought to read that someday and someday came. i'm about halfway through that and as i said that as a less enjoyable read. >> what kind of books to generally gravitate toward? >> well my regular reading is history and biography and public policy. for fun and for a break,

a student in the previous lecture suggested pillows. i didn't get that at first but you get very lightweight so you get a lot of them. i think that would get impractical when you were loading up your car. but yeah, jewelry, electronics, the high value stuff, right? now, think about if target then handled the shortage by saying keep the trucks coming, the supply trucks coming. we have to keep the merchandise coming in because people are buying this up faster than we can get, right? you wouldn't really solve the problem. you would just have people going after more and more. >> i just wanted to note the micro sd card is worth more than its weight in gold by a significant multiplier. >> wow, and i don't even know what a micro sd card is, this is a computer card? >> an sd card like you put in a camera or what have you. >> okay, now you all know the place to go when target announces we charge by the pound, go for the micro sd cards. well, you see this is what we're doing here. instead of say, charging the right price when we get to level of s

hopefully, after this lecture, you have some greater understanding and awareness, right? of how black women came to practice in medicine, and also some of the ways in which they thought about their practice of medicine as a site of activism and also medical citizenship. are there any questions about dickens, black women as physicians, about cancer prevention, anything, any questions that anybody has? >> do you think those forced sterilizations contributed to the number of cancers and black women? prof. shakir: no. but i think they contributed to a very palpable fear that many african-american patients have when they go to the doctor, particularly women. we know that forced sterilization continued well beyond the period that we are talking about. notably, the cases in north carolina. you may recall people who were forcibly sterilized. people who are trying to receive restitution from the north carolina government. there are lots of examples. the most significant point about forced sterilization is that it created amongst african-american women in particular, and extreme an

there is active learning components, not somebody just lecturing at you. it's a day where the -- the students are actively engaged as part of the experience. they take one class at a time, master that material before they move on to something else. they get out into the -- they get in the community early, and the last point is the classroom deseen itself. the class many room is designed as a hexagon with everybody engaged. theater in the round. it helps to engage all the students in the learning process. >> we have 45 seconds left. i want to make sure they hear about the health series. it's been a lot of meaningful moments, laughter, crying. tell us what the event is about. >> the exciting event about the neighborhood health series is that it really engages, not just somebody lecturing at you, not the regular lecture series you see, this is something that really engages the people that attend these many prays. for example, we had a program about caring for your aging parents, and everybody knows today that more and more middle-aged folks are not only havin

i'm your guest lecturer dr. sheldon cooper.se stunned silence is equally appropriate. i agreed to speak to you this evening because i was told that you're the best and the brightest of this university's doctoral candidates. hmm. of course, that's like saying you are the most important electron in a hydrogen atom.

"dr. cooper has taken a relatively boring subject

and i've called this lecture "americans at war: the mistbusters edition." and i did that kind of intentionally, because when we think about understanding the first world war in general, there are so many myths and misconceptions that are attached to the war that it's really interesting for us to first understand why those myths exist and then to unpack them a little bit and think more about the reality of the experience, right? and i wanted to start first by sort of talking about how this connects to the first world war overall. so it's not just america that has these myths. but even this sense of how we understand the first world war to begin with and we think of the kind of general narrative that we attach to it. one of the most common narratives is that world war i was a senseless slaughter, right? we've already talked about the uncertainty as to why this war ever even occurred, but once it's under way, there is this sort of pre.com intent image, and we get that image a lot from popular culture -- those are the kind of images that i have up here for you

he worked at the metropolitan museum in new york, and that asked them to come to grand rapids to lecture. when he came, i picked them up and brought him for a tour of the city. we were in the middle of urban renewal at the time, and this place was a hole in the ground, what i said, this is where the new city hall and county buildings will be. well, he said, you should have a piece of sculpture there. i said that was a great idea, how do i do that? you write your congressman. it was gerald ford at the time. i wrote him a letter and said, dear, congressman ford, i found that there will be many made available for sculptures in cities in america. can you help me get some of that money for grand rapids? the next thing i knew it was roger stevenson calling me from the chair of the national endowments of the arts of the time and he said, i just had a call from your congressman. apparently, he would like to have a piece of arts in your city. i think it is a very good idea. that can happen. let's meet in chicago. grantsto apply for the in the city and county had to fill out an additional grant ap
