SUMMARY:Book presentation by Andrew Szarejko: "American Conquest: The Northwestern Indian War and the Making of U.S. Foreign Policy"
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Szarejko\, assistant professor of political science at Wartburg College\, will offer this presentation on his book\, American Conquest: The Northwestern Indian War and the Making of U.S. Foreign Policy (Stanford University Press). \nThe first war fought by the United States as an independent nation was not against Britain\, but against Native nations of the Ohio River Valley in the Northwest Indian War (1790–1795). In this innovative study\, Szarejko shows how this early conflict shaped enduring patterns of American expansion\, military strategy\, and foreign policy—challenging the myth of U.S. isolationism and placing Indigenous politics at the center of international relations.

SUMMARY:Price Lecture: Leadership Institute for Indigenous and Afro-descendent Women from Latin America
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona hosts two highly select groups of Indigenous and Afro-descendent women between the ages of 18 and 24 from different Latin American countries for the Study of the United States Institute (SUSI)\, funded by the US Department of State. In this talk\, the director of the Institute\, Dr. Marcela Vásquez-León\, will reflect on her decade long experience mentoring these students. She will focus on how the program is a transformational site in which the participants envision and build a sense of intersectional feminism along the lines of what feminist Lelia Gonzalez has called amefricanidade (amefricanity)\, creating networks of solidarity that go beyond the program. At the same time\, challenges and contradictions arise given the ways in which the institute itself is situated in the larger geopolitics of U.S./Latin American relations.

SUMMARY:"Where Does $1 Trillion Go?" Day of Action at Luther College
DESCRIPTION:Luther College students are invited to join the Up to Us – Luther College team for an interactive civic engagement event focused on understanding the U.S. national debt and its implications for our generation’s economic future.

Free pizza\, snacks\, and raffle prizes will be available to attendees who complete all sessions or share their experiences on social media using #UpToUs and @UpToUs_LutherCollege. \nThis event is part of the national Up to Us campaign\, a nonpartisan initiative that empowers students across the country to build awareness and dialogue around the national debt and generational equity. Open exclusively to Luther College students\, faculty\, and community members. \nregistration is encouraged
