A program concerning the history and the lessons of civil rights violations carried out against communities or populations on the basis of an individual’s race, national origin, immigration status, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.

Supported by the California State Library.

Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at Chapman University is committed to leading the conversation in our community on issues of humanity, unity and justice. As such, the college has undertaken, semester-long examinations of key societal issues.

These interdisciplinary conversations promote thoughtful dialogue; mindful reflection; social tolerance; awareness and respect; peace and kindness.

Documenting process and purpose, this interdisciplinary series is an educational resource provided to discuss the evolution of visual, performing, and literary arts at the intersection of technology, science, history, and health.

Medium History explores memories and moments through creativity and expression, capturing the cultural ethos of that time and place through storytelling and representation.

Visual material culture, such as art, and other multimodal forms can elicit responses, emotions, and opinions—human expressions, tied to temporal and cultural aesthetics. This program explores how creative mediums provide context for history beyond dates, and names, and figures.

An education program that considers unresolved symptoms of The Fire Problem.

This special podcast series will examine and explain underlying challenges and vulnerabilities with our climate, environment, politics, and vegetation.

Our Without… program provides an opportunity for community leaders to share stories about today, with context from our past, and learn moving forward.

Our first two series consider life without books and life without libraries. Each guest has three minutes to record their Microcast episode.
