SUMMARY:Making Art As A Community
DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, the City of New Orleans received $141 million from the Department of Housing & Urban Development’s National Disaster Resilience Competition Grant for the Gentilly Resilience District – a combination of investments and infrastructure projects in the Gentilly neighborhood designed to reduce flood risk\, slow land subsidence\, improve energy reliability\, and encourage economic development.\n \nAs part of this project\, local nonprofits Arts New Orleans and the Water Leaders Institute partnered to design a cohort-based professional development program to equip local artists and neighborhood residents with knowledge about critical civic issues to prepare them to co-create public art projects. The program was founded on two core beliefs: (1) public art can be a powerful medium to engage neighbors\, build awareness\, and motivate action in response to critical civic issues and (2) Multiple skill sets and ways of knowing are necessary to confront collective challenges: residents’ lived experiences\, artists’ creative practices\, and experts’ technical knowledge are needed and valued.\n \nJoin us for a panel discussion with organizers and participants in the Civic Arts Fellowship: Gentilly Resilience District to learn more about this innovative and integrative approach to building neighborhood resilience.

SUMMARY:Cryptocurrency Mining in Texas
DESCRIPTION:There is approximately 2 gigawatts (GW) of cryptocurrency load capacity within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). As of mid-2022\, ERCOT had 33 GW of cryptocurrency mining in its interconnection queue. The potential increase in power demand was so high that ERCOT established a new interim process and a special task force for determining new rules for interconnecting large loads\, such as cryptocurrency mining operations.\n  \nThe question for the debate is the following: Should policymakers encourage cryptocurrency mining in Texas?\n \nThis question will be the subject of an Oxford-style public debate hosted by three groups at the University of Texas at Austin – the Energy Institute\, KBH Energy Center for Business\, Law and Policy\, and Planet Texas 2050.\n \nWe’ll hear from experts both for and against expanding cryptocurrency mining in Texas\, considering factors related to the environment\, economy\, equity\, and accountability. The audience will vote on their position before and after the debate\, and the winner will be the team that changes their numbers the most between votes.\n \nLight bites and refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:UWSA November Unlearning Circle
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our November 12 Unlearning Circle: Building Skills to Talk About Race! \nSat. 11/12/22 from 10am-noon CST \nPlease join us on zoom November 12th from 10am-12:00 for our Unlearning Circle Building Skills to Talk about Race.\n \nThe Unlearning Circles for October through December will help us build our skills to engage in difficult conversations about race. Engaging in conversations about race can activate our fears around perfectionism and fear of conflict.\n \nWe might believe that somehow we should know how to have these difficult conversations. Without practice and reflection on the situation with others\, however\, our conversations may fall short of our expectations. Fearing we might mess up\, not be perfect\, we may entirely avoid these conversations.\n \nLiberated Structures Troika consulting process is one way to prepare\, in community\, to have these difficult conversations about race. A Troika is a process we can invite others into at any time to support us in thinking through situations we are in and suggesting possible approaches we struggle to see on our own. It is a tool we can use to support ourselves and others to build vital relationships with each other and meet the challenges of anti-racist work.\n \nJames Baldwin said\, Not everything that is faced can be changed\, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. Join us on November 12th with the gathered UWSA community to face the challenge of building the muscle to have difficult conversations about race.\nHope to see you there!
