542 Million Years in a Flash: Eastern Utah’s Geologic Foundation

Lecture/Readings

John McPhee once described rocks as “…books. They have a different vocabulary, a different alphabet, but you learn how to read them.” In this talk, we will read that story from places like the Book Cliffs, the San Rafael Swell, the Colorado Plateau, and more, to understand the ancient geologic foundation of eastern Utah.

Part of USU Eastern's "From the Book Cliffs to Blanding: A Panoramic View of Eastern Utah," hear Geology Professor Evey Gannaway Dalton discuss the geologic history of the state.

Contemporary Legends in a Polarized World (Derek Agard Distinguished Lecture)

Lecture/Readings

In a country where trust is at an all-time low and polarization at an all-time high, is everything a legend? Using examples of contemporary or “urban” legends from across the US, Tom Mould, Professor of Anthropology and Folklore (Butler University), explores new approaches to legend research that help us navigate our current landscape of fake news, conspiracy theories, and echo chambers. In the process, Professor Mould upends some long held beliefs about what contemporary legends are, what they do, and what they can tell us about ourselves and the polarized world we live in.

LAEP Speaker Series: Therese Graf, The Craig Johnson Lecture

Lecture/Readings

From Propagation to Planning, How Restorative One Health Design Approaches Can Scale Site Based Interventions to Regional Scale Solutions MASS Design Group was founded on the understanding that design has a critical role to play in supporting communities to confront history, shape new narratives, collectively heal and project new possibilities for the future. In the face of a changing climate and rapid rates of biodiversity loss, holistic place based solutions are needed that cross disciplinary boundaries and catalyze action. Through our One Health work we have explored how restorative design approaches can scale from site based applications to regional scale solutions. This session will highlight these possibilities and discuss how collaborative partnerships can expand design approaches towards research based methodologies, sustainability, community benefit, and resilience.

2024 Arrington Mormon History Lecture: Jana Riess

Lecture/Readings

Join Jana Riess, author and senior columnist for Religious News Service, for a lecture at the Russell/Wanlass Performance Hall on October 10. When the first Next Mormons Survey was conducted in 2016, a key finding was that Latter-day Saint women in the U.S. were, on average, more certain in their beliefs about God, Jesus, and the church than LDS men. That may well be changing. Dr. Riess will unpack the 2022-23 Next Mormons Survey’s findings about LDS women and religiosity, placing them in the larger context of the shifting American religious landscape.

LAEP Speaker Series: Angela Brooks, Women in Landscape Architecture Lecture

Lecture/Readings

Corporation for Supportive Housing, the Source for Housing Solutions, Illinois Program No truer words have ever been spoken than Dorothy’s “There’s no place like home.” A home is more than just the physical structure; it is a place that emotes comfort, safety, and belonging. Yet for many the storied dream of home is more fiction than fairytale. I’ll share my experiences, how a chance encounter with public housing led to a career dedicated to working to help the under – and un-housed; and along the way, how my professional association helped prepare me to tackle career challenges.

13,000+ Years of Indigenous History in Eastern Utah

Lecture/Readings

Eastern Utah is well-known for the spectacular rock art found in places like Nine Mile Canyon and the Puebloan architecture of Bears Ears National Monument and other landscapes. But the stories of the indigenous people who have called this land home for millennia are also preserved in much less notable sites that reflect the ephemera of daily activities such as cooking a meal or making a tool. Join Dr. Tim Riley as he explores the material history of this landscape with a focus on how we can learn more about people from the objects they left behind and how we can visit these places today with minimal impact and maximal respect. 

Part of USU Eastern's "From the Book Cliffs to Blanding: A Panoramic View of Eastern Utah," come hear Eastern Prehistoric Museum Director Tim Riley talk about the first human inhabitants of Eastern Utah.
