Public Affairs Conference

The Global Freshwater Challenge: New Solutions for a Thirsty World

Wednesday, April 15 at 12pm, PSU Theater
Around the world, signs of water trouble abound. Rivers are running dry, lakes are shrinking and groundwater is being depleted. Climate change is altering the global water cycle. The question arises: can we meet the food, energy and water needs of our growing population, while at the same time sustaining the ecosystems that support our economies and the web of life on the planet?  Dr. Sandra Postel will explain that the answer is yes, but will require a transformation in how we use, manage, and value freshwater.

Sandra Postel directs the independent Global Water Policy Project and lectures, writes and consults on global water issues. In 2010, she was appointed Freshwater Fellow of the National Geographic Society, where she serves as the Society’s lead water expert. Postel is co-creator of Change the Course, the national freshwater conservation and restoration campaign that is being pioneered by National Geographic and its partners and piloted in the Colorado River Basin.

Postel is the author of several acclaimed books, including the award-winning “Last Oasis,” which appears in eight languages and was the basis for a PBS documentary. She has authored more than 100 articles for popular and scholarly publications, from “Science and Natural History” to “Foreign Policy” and “Ecological Applications.” The recipient of several honorary degrees, Postel has also been named a Pew Scholar in Conservation and the Environment and one of the “Scientific American 50” for her contributions to water policy.

Previously, Postel served as visiting senior lecturer at Mount Holyoke College and as director of the college’s Center for the Environment. She has appeared in dozens of television and radio shows nationally and internationally, as well as in some half dozen films, including the BBC’s “Planet Earth” and Leonardo DiCaprio’s “The 11th Hour.”

This presentation sponsored by the College of Natural and Applied Sciences, Department of Biology, Department of Geography, Geology and Planning, and the Ozarks Environmental and Water Resources Institute.

How to Make a Difference in the Lives of Sex Trafficking Victims

Wednesday, April 15 at 7:30pm, PSU Theater
It is estimated that more than 100,000 children are being sold into sex-trafficking in the United States alone. Toshia Shaw, a survivor of sex trafficking, decided being an onlooker was not good enough and became a dedicated person in making a difference in one child’s life. Join Shaw, executive director of Purple W.I.N.G.S., as she shares insight and awareness of how you can make a difference by lending your voice to raise awareness, sending a Tweet or taking it one step further…by mentoring.  This event sponsored by the Department of Theater and Dance and the Department of Media Journalism and Film

Toshia Shaw is a behavioral health expert and author who has coached women through drug addiction, sexual assault, abuse and other traumatic experiences that shape the way they view themselves and the world around them. She is the founder and executive director of Purple W.I.N.G.S., a 501 c (3) multicultural nonprofit organization whose acronym stands for Women Inspiring Noble Girls Successfully. In addition to her work helping young women in the Las Vegas, Nevada area, she is also founder of T3SL LLC, a business-consulting firm that serves non-profits, small healthcare organizations and the criminal justice system.

Having overcome her own personal encounters as a triumphant survivor of domestic violence and sex-trafficking, Shaw is able to understand and empower others in a very unique and personal way. As a life coach and mentor, she often calls upon her own life experiences in an effort to relate to and connect with the girls and women she serves. In 2006, she faced the heartbreaking reality of girls in her community being trafficked in staggering numbers. This was a turning point, and she felt compelled to start speaking up about the issue of domestic minor sex trafficking in Las Vegas, Nevada. She had become tired of standing by and watching girls being ignored, treated as if they were invisible. She decided it was time to give these ladies a voice and a choice.

Today, Shaw is a noted speaker and media commentator participating in segments such as Surviving Sin City on PBS, TEDx Fremont East Women, NAACP Education Forum, African American Cultural Association’s I Remember the Dream Discussion Panel and the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP), Unlocking the Power of Relationships.

Ethics and You: Choosing How to Live Your Life

Thursday, April 16 at 11am, PSU Theater
Actor, screenwriter and director Sean McEwen will offer insights about how one’s personal choices can help create a path toward a life of meaning and purpose. This session sponsored by Greenwood Laboratory School.

An award-winning director, writer and producer, Sean McEwen graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Arts. McEwen has earned various directing awards, including the AOI International “Best of Fest” award for his film “Happy’s Last Wish” which was the follow up to the DEM Films Production, “For the Love of the Film” – winner of the prestigious George Lucas Selects Award. His feature directorial debut, “Albino Farm” received both critical and audience acclaim – and has quickly become a cult favorite among horror enthusiasts.

McEwen produced the theatrically released feature films, “Another Happy Day,” “Bernie” (starring Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, Shirley MacLaine), and the Tribeca selected and award winning film, “Graceland” (New York Times Critic Pick). McEwen is the co-founder of Encameo, a media technology company based in New York, Los Angeles and Silicon Valley with an eye to launch on network television and film in early 2015. He also consults on various film and media projects, synergizing his expertise regarding finance, production and distribution.

When not in Los Angeles, McEwen spends time in Sydney, Australia overseeing the global development arm of his film and television production company, Charlie Baby Productions, LLC

Education, Communication, and Family Well-Being: Unlocking the Power of Genetic Information

Thursday, April 16 at 12:30pm, PSU Theater

Her work in understanding and defining the genetic basis of neurodevelopmental disorders has engaged students, trainees and families at many levels throughout the course of her career.

Shatterer of Worlds, Presented by Bread & Puppet Theater

Thursday, April 16 at 7:30pm, Hammons Center West Court
Friday, April 17 at 7:30pm, Hammons Center West Court
Saturday, April 18 at 7:30pm, Hammons Center West Court
The Shatterer of Worlds: Chapel with naturalization services for applicants requesting citizenship in the shattered world, is a walkabout political performance, enveloping audience and performers alike. The performance references the moment when the first atomic bomb was dropped and Robert Oppenheimer, the chief architect of that bomb, recalled words from the Bhagavad Gita, the Hindu prayer epic: Life, the splendor of 1000 suns blazing all at once, resembling the exulted soul, is become Death, the shatterer of worlds.

Note:  The April 16 performance is open to MSU students, faculty and staff only.  Two additional performances on April 17 and 18 are open to the public.

Now in its 50th year, Bread and Puppet Theater, founded by Peter Schumann, stands as one of the nation’s oldest not-for-profit theatre companies. With its social themes and oversized “puppetry,” it is also one of the most recognizable troupes in the world. Garnering world-wide media attention during the Vietnam War, the company has become a mainstay in contemporary culture, featured in popular films such as “Across the Universe,” and serving as an inspiration for global theatre works such as “The Lion King.” Bread and Puppet’s utilization of large scale pageantry, live music and stunning visual art has contributed greatly to its global success and recognition.

Ferguson and Beyond: Race Relations in Modern America

Friday, April 17 at 12pm, PSU Theater
A recent article in The Telegraph (U.K.) was titled, “A Black President Couldn’t Stop the Ferguson Race Riots.” The article isolates a disconcerting dichotomy in American race relations, noting that beyond a gloss of progress lays a foundation still mired in intolerance, inequality and violence. The tragic events in Ferguson sparked important discussions regarding race. Yet, since the shooting of Michael Brown, troubling examples of racial tension have arisen in our communities and on college campuses. What is the current state of race relations in America? How may citizens build a more ethical, tolerant and stable foundation for American youth?  Overflow for this event will be in the PSU Ballroom West.

President Clif Smart will moderate this session with presentations by actor Iké Amadi; Matt Marinec, confidential assistant to the director, US Office of Ethics; Yu-Hsien Sharon Wu, co-founder of US-China Education and Culture Center; and Angela Hollway-Payne, principal of Dexter Elementary School in Memphis, Tennessee.

CNAS Lecture Series

Tuesday, April 7 at 7:30pm, Temple Hall 002
Geology of the Weaubleau impact structure, west-central Missouri: three strikes and a hypothesis is out – The Weaubleau structure is five miles in diameter within an eccentrically positioned 12-mile-diameter area of structural deformation. Recovery of shocked quartz indicates it formed from a large meteorite impact. Fossils have been used to date the impact to about 335 million years ago. Weaubleau is one of three impact structures aligned across the Missouri Ozarks over a distance of 160 miles. Other investigators have suggested these were part of a serial impact. Age dates of other impact structures are poorly constrained but likely preceded regional uplift of the Ozarks. The inferred low-angle trajectory to the northeast and tightly constrained age shows Weaubleau occurred later.

Public Affairs Conference

Giving Voice Performance Project

Monday, April 13 at 7:30pm, PSU Theater
The Giving Voice experience provides an awakening and a safe environment to not only have the needed difficult dialogues, but to actually try various ideas to improve a situation. In this pre-conference event, Giving Voice will explore issues relating to the conference theme, The ethical citizen: Can you make a difference?

The MSU Giving Voice Project was created to meet the vital needs of a continuing and growing presence of oppressed, marginalized persons. This is done through scenarios that shed light on discrimination. Giving Voice programs address issues which are often unknown or ignored, resulting in an oppressive and discriminatory environment. The Giving Voice experience provides an awakening and a safe environment to not only have the needed difficult dialogues, but to actually try various ideas to improve a situation.

Tim Mosseau – Retaking our Story – Reframing the Sexual Assault Conversation

Monday, April 6 at 6:30pm, PSU Theater
Tim leads a deep and vulnerable conversation on the difficult topic of sexual assault drawing from his own experiences and countless interactions with others in support groups. Why is an underlying culture of shame implicit, and how can it be stopped? Tim will help MSU understand the background information needed to facilitate healthy conversations on sexual assault, resources to assist in the survivor recovery process, and how the power of our personal community stories can be utilized in prevention. Students will leave feeling prepared to create a culture of compassion while realistically facing an issue prevalent on campuses across the country.
