Talking to Grandma: AI in the Age of AI: Ancestral Intelligence in Schools
In the age of Artificial Intelligence, how do we make space for the original AIs: Ancestral Intelligence and Abundant Imagination? This session draws from Ruha Benjamin's call for "Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code" to explore how educators can center cultural wisdom, radical imagination, and justice in their classrooms. Participants will learn how to apply abolitionist, imaginative, and culturally sustaining approaches to technology, storytelling, and learning, inspiring practices that honor both ancestral roots and future possibilities.

MCC on Tap Presents "Why Music Is More Than Sound"
Music engages us in culturally and psychologically powerful ways, leading us to reflect on our lives and those around us, as well as activating regions of our brain responsible for emotion, memory, movement, and reward all at once. In this talk, Evin Rodkey (Anthropology Instructor) and April Shirey (Registrar) discuss how music can provide with opportunities to interpret aspects of culture more closely and how it triggers dopamine releases making listening to it pleasurable or motivating, strengthens neural connections, supports learning, and can even help regulate stress by calming the nervous system. Doors to lecture space open at 5:30 PM.
