EPIC
Documentary Series - May 19
Oscar-nominated Documentary
Strong Island
streaming
followed by Q&A with Director & Producer
Yance Ford
|
Strong Island chronicles the story of the Ford family: Barbara Dunmore, William Ford and their three children and how their lives were shaped by the enduring shadow of race in America. A deeply intimate and meditative film, Strong Island asks what one can do when the grief of loss is entwined with historical injustice, and how one grapples with the complicity of silence, which can bind a family in an imitation of life, and a nation with a false sense of justice.

Grad Scholar Talk - May 26
Reclaiming Constitutional Tort Law
|
Noah Smith-Drelich
Academic Fellow, Columbia Law School
In this talk, Noah Smith-Drelich, lead counsel in the case
Thunderhawk v. County of Morton
will use the Standing Rock litigation to illustrate a number of questions and challenges raised by constitutional litigation. What do we seek to accomplish by allowing private actors to sue the government for constitutional wrongdoing? In what ways do these suits succeed and in what ways do they fail when it comes to protecting speech, religious exercise, and other constitutional rights and liberties?

Professor Emerita Virginia Papaioannou
, a registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance, leads EPIC Yoga.
No prior experience is required to join. Yoga can benefit people at all levels of physical training and health, but it is always wise to consult with a physician before undertaking any new exercise regime. Modifications will be offered to any participants with specific limitations arising from recovery from injury, arthritis, limited movement, or other causes.
Two one-hour classes are offered each week. The
10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
class practices breathing techniques and moves through some basic yoga poses, concentrating on alignment, balance, and flexibility. Those with experience move more deeply into the poses. From
11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
, we practice gentle/chair yoga, which is ideal for those of more limited mobility or flexibility. Classes include breathing, stretching, and yoga poses, done either seated in a chair or standing. No yoga mats are required for this class.
