SUMMARY:2021 Dunwoody Great Decisions Virtual Lecture Series: Global Supply Chains and National Security
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Georgia Council for International Visitors (GCIV) in partnership with the Atlanta Global Studies Center\, the annual 2021 Dunwoody Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series will take place via Zoom every Thursday evening from February 4 – March 25\, 2021 at 7:30 PM. The 2021 virtual lecture series is free\, but registration is required to receive the event link. \nFeb. 4\, 2021 Topic: Global Supply Chains and National Security\nLecture by Dr. Chelsea “Chip” White\, Schneider National Chair in Transportation and Logistics and Professor in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech \nThe shutdown of global supply chains due to the COVID-19 pandemic brought to the forefront an issue with the high level of global economic interdependence: what happens when one country is the main source for an item\, say face masks\, and then can no longer supply the item? Countries suddenly unable to meet the demand for certain supplies are faced with growing calls for economic nationalism. What are some of the lasting effects that the pandemic could have on global supply chains and trade? How would this affect national security? \nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights eight of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year. GCIV is the statewide coordinator for the nonpartisan program. To view the other 2021 topics or learn more about Great Decisions\, visit Gciv.org/programs/gd.

SUMMARY:Authors Amplified: John Endicott\, 'Destined to Serve' author\, Woosong University president and former Georgia Tech professor
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta invites you to join our Authors Amplified book talk series\, beginning with John Endicott\, Destined to Serve author\, Woosong University president\, and former Georgia Tech professor. \n\nJohn E. Endicott \nPresident of Woosong University \nVice-Chancellor of SolBridge International School of Business \nDaejeon\, Republic of Korea \nDr. Endicott’s career spans 28-years in the U.S. Air Force\, three years as SES-4 Director of the Institute for National Strategic Studies\, 18+ years at Georgia Tech as Professor and Center Director\, and 14 years as President and Vice-Chancellor of Woosong University in Daejeon\, ROK. His Ph.D.\, MALD\, and A.M. Degrees are from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy of Tufts University in cooperation with Harvard; his M.A. is from Omaha University and his B.A.in Political Science (cum laude) is from The Ohio State University where he was inducted into the American academic society Phi Beta Kappa. He holds two honorary doctorates from the University of Toulouse\, France\, and Dankook University of Yongin\, South Korea. In 1991 he introduced the concept for a Limited Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone in Northeast Asia (LNWFZ-NEA) which received nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005 and 2009. He has authored or co-authored six books primarily on Asian and U.S. security and political issues\, including Japan’s Nuclear Option. His most recent book\, his memoirs\, Destined to Serve\, was published in December 2020. \nIn March 2019 he was appointed to the Board of Advisors for the Republic of Korea Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). He holds a number of military decorations for his 31-year service in the U.S. Government\, including the Defense Superior Service Medal\, the Legion of Merit Medal\, the Bronze Star Medal\, the Meritorious Service Medal\, Air Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster for 50 combat missions\, the Air Force Commendation Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster\, and the Vietnam Service Medal with 2 Bronze Stars\, among others. In October 2019\, he was notified that he has been awarded a Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award and will be included in subsequent publications of that organization. \nWoosong University\, which Endicott heads\, is a medium-sized specialized university with a global mission. It has approximately 13\,500 students (2\,500 international) attending eight colleges: Railroad Transportation College\, Hotel Management and Culinary Arts College\, Digital Convergence College\, and the Health and Welfare College (all primarily in Korean). SolBridge International School of Business (the fifth college) is an all-English language college created in 2007 offering BBAs and MBAs to over 1\,600 students (pre-COVID Era). Thirty percent are Korean\, 20 percent Chinese and 26 percent Russian speaking from Russia and Central Asia\, and the rest of the 24% come from 62 other nations of the world and is AACSB accredited. As the sixth college\, Sol International School offers specialized English language tracks in the four Korean language colleges. The Endicott College of International Studies\, the seventh college at Woosong\, offers courses in Korean and English language as the liberal arts college of Woosong. In the Fall Semester of 2020\, the J.W. Kim College of Future Studies was added to especially address the needs of education in the 4th Industrial Revolution. \n  \nDestined to Serve: From the Queen City to Daejeon and the Presidency of a Korean University\nThis is the story of a Cold Warrior who experiences the dangers of total nuclear war from the Underground War Room in SAC Headquarters during the Cuban Missile Crisis and later\, flying targeting missions during the early days of America’s involvement in Vietnam. More importantly\, Endicott’s story and ultimate mission in life is the work he has done to the control and reduction of nuclear weapons and the development of regional peace through the internationalization of higher education in Northeast Asia. And he still believes the best thing he ever did in life was to marry his wife of 60 years\, Mitsuyo\, from Japan. \n  \nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda.

Matthews\, award-winning entertainment journalist; and Ori Naftaly\, Israeli-born guitarist\, composer\, and music producer. \nParticipants will watch the film “Shared Legacies: The African American-Jewish Civil Rights Alliance” and engage in an evening dialogue about the rich history and promising future of Black-Jewish relations. This virtual event is dedicated to the life and legacy of Cicely Tyson (1924 – 2021) and Larry King (1933 – 2021). \nUpon registering\, you will receive a custom code to view the film. The code will expire at 7:00 PM ET/4:00 PM PT on February 25\, 2021.\nAbout the Film: \nTrailer available here.  \nThe crucial historical lessons of Black-Jewish cooperation are revisited and revived in this utterly fascinating\, urgent call to action. \nThe modern alliance between African-Americans and Jewish Americans dates to the NAACP founding in 1909. Since then\, both groups have endured segregation and racism\, from the codified bigotry of southern Jim Crow laws\, to blatant bias in real estate\, employment\, higher education and politics. \nCommon cause was found in the turbulent ‘60s Civil Rights era\, as Jewish leaders backed Dr. King’s efforts at racial equality and harmony. Yet\, the relationship has frayed in recent years\, as a once-mighty bond of support and respect has seemingly faded\, been forgotten or ignored. \nPivotal events come alive through a treasure trove of archival materials\, narrated by eyewitnesses\, activists\, Holocaust survivors\, and leaders of the movement\, including prominent Atlantans such as Congressman John Lewis\, Amb. Andrew Young\, Rabbi Alvin Sugarman\, Rabbi Peter S. Berg\, Oscar-winning actor Louis Gossett Jr.\, members of the King family\, and many others. \nWith divisive seeds of hate taking root anew in the American landscape\, a new generation also affirms their pledge to actively promote the values of social justice. This potent\, inspiring story of unity\, empathy and partnership validates the ubiquity of the human experience\, and how freedom and equality for all can be achieved only when people come together. \n**Running time-95 minutes

SUMMARY:Let's Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither: Engaging Black and African American Students through Culturally Responsive Lessons
DESCRIPTION:Please join Kennesaw State University Center for African and African Diaspora Studies as they welcome Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither for their spring conversation series\, “Let’s Talk with Dr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither.” \nDuring the first event in the series\, you will gain the skills to practice culturally responsive pedagogy. Gloria Ladson-Billings (1995)\, a forerunner in theorizing culturally responsive pedagogy\, defines the term as the “dynamic or synergistic relationship between home/community culture and school culture” (p. 467). In other words\, how do we bring the cultures of our students into the classroom so that learning is relevant\, relatable\, and transformative? This workshop focuses on Black college students (but is applicable to K-12). \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Krishauna Hines-Gaither serves as the Associate Vice President for Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion at Guilford College in Greensboro\, NC. She holds a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She has worked in the field of diversity for over 15 years. Before becoming an administrator\, Dr. Hines-Gaither was a college professor for almost two decades. She taught Spanish\, (Afro)Latin American Studies\, African Diaspora Studies and Women and Gender Studies. She is a frequent speaker\, trainer and scholar on a variety of topics related to inclusion. Dr. Hines-Gaither has been quoted in national publications\, and she is a leading diversity consultant to top rated U.S. and international companies. Dr. Hines-Gaither is also a popular blogger at Cup of Diversity.com. \n  \nUpcoming events in this series include: \n\n\nHow to navigate difficult dialogues on sensitive topics\nDate: Tuesday\, March 2\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nAs our world engages in difficult dialogues on a national scale\, the classroom often becomes a microcosm of current events. Educators who work with diverse students online or in face-to-face settings must have tools in their repertoire for engaging difficult dialogues. In this workshop\, you will gain hands-on strategies to incorporate\, facilitate\, and manage content related to racial tensions\, social identity\, and current events.\n\nIntersectionality\nDate: Wednesday\, March 17\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nBuilding on the foundational work of Kimberlé Crenshaw\, this workshop examines the foundations of intersectionality in terms of multiple identities\, and also intersectional failures. This workshop will also incorporate strategies for building networks of solidarity across differences\, and activism from an intersectional lens.\n\nBlack women and women of color’s strategic voice: How to be heard when no one is listening\nDate: Tuesday\, March 30\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nBlack women are often silenced and made to feel invisible in the workplace\, and in other spaces. This workshop examines institutional structures in terms of power dynamics. Gain tangible tools and strategies for how Black women can come from the margin to the center. Learn how to get to the table\, and how to maximize your space once there. These tools will be advantageous for women of color in general.\n\nStereotype Threat\nDate: Wednesday\, April 14\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nCoined by psychologist Claude Steele\, stereotype threat is the tendency to perform down to people’s expectations of a social group. In other words\, people perform not based on their abilities\, but based on how others perceive them\, especially marginalized people. This workshop unpacks the concept of stereotype threat\, its counterpart the imposter syndrome\, and offers strategies for how to combat them.\n\nDimensions of Oppression (Personal\, Interpersonal\, Institutional\, Systemic\, Cultural)\nDate: Tuesday\, April 27\nTime: 3:30 – 5 p.m. \nThis workshop presents the five dimensions of oppression and offers examples of each\, as well as strategies for combating them. Many individuals are not equipped to combat oppression because they have failed to name it. Some are fighting the wrong fight. They may be attacking an issue on an interpersonal level\, that really needs an institutional response. Powerful change can happen when there is a systematic understanding about the inner workings of the dimensions of oppression.\n\n
