SUMMARY:Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
DESCRIPTION:The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: (1) REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research. REU Sites may be based in a single discipline or academic department or may offer interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are welcome. (2) REU Supplements may be included as a component of proposals for new or renewal NSF grants or cooperative agreements or may be requested for ongoing NSF-funded research projects. \nWho May Submit Proposals: \nThe categories of proposers eligible to submit proposals to the National Science Foundation are identified in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide(PAPPG)\, Chapter I.E. \nWho May Serve as PI: \nFor REU Site proposals\, a single individual may be designated as the Principal Investigator. This individual will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the award. However\, one additional person may be designated as Co-Principal Investigator if developing and operating the REU Site would involve such shared responsibility. Other anticipated research supervisors should be listed as Non-Co-PI Senior Personnel. After a proposal is awarded\, some NSF units may allow the addition of more Co-PIs if an exceptional case can be made for why the management of the REU Site must be distributed. \nLimit on Number of Proposals per Organization: \nThere are no restrictions or limits on the number of proposals per organization except forthe following: NSF Centers or National Facilities managed by NSF’s Division of Materials Research (DMR) that have an active REU Site may not request additional support for a new Site or an expansion of their existing Site. (For questions\, e-mail reu.dmr@nsf.gov.) \nRead more here: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2019/nsf19582/nsf19582.htm?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc_ev=click

SUMMARY:The History of Garden Tools - Seth Pauley\, owner of Red Pig Hang-Forged Garden Tools
DESCRIPTION:The story of garden tools is the story of humanity. Although tools have evolved from sticks and stones to bone and wood\, to a wide range of modern plastics and metals\, the work we do with the tools hasn’t changed much. Seth Pauley of Red Pig Garden Tools will talk about the history of garden tools and how that history informs what tools we use today. He will also cover how to choose the right tool for the job\, offer tips for digging and weeding more efficiently in the garden\, and answer questions. The audience will be challenged by Seth’s intriguing collection of old and unique tools ­- what on earth did they use that for?  The artisans at Red Pig Tools are the only blacksmiths in the United States specialized in hand forged garden tools for home gardeners\, nurserymen\, landscapers\, and farmers. Seth himself is a craftsperson\, writer\, and student of history as well as a blacksmith. With a life-long devotion to the creative arts\, from creative writing to ceramics to wood-working and now blacksmithing\, Seth’s interest in history and in learning obscure crafts has enabled him to learn his artistry through hands-on experience and direct contact with highly skilled and often renowned mentors. \n  \nAll lectures will take place in the Manor House at Leach Botanical Garden. \n6704 SE 122nd Ave.\, Portland OR 97236. Use Creekside Parking lot. \nDoors open at 6:00 pm for refreshments and strolling in the Garden.

SUMMARY:How to be an Antiracist
DESCRIPTION:When the first Black president headed into the White House\, Americans were imagining their nation as colorblind and went so far as to call it post-racial. With the arrival of Donald Trump\, many people are awakening and seeing racial reality for the first time. With opened minds\, people are actively trying to understand racism. In this deeply personal and empowering lecture\, Kendi shifts the discussion from how not to be racist\, to how to be an antiracist. He shares his own racist ideas and how he overcame them. He provides direction to people and institutions who want more than just band-aid programs\, but actual antiracist action that builds an antiracist America. \nIbram X. Kendi is Professor of History and International Relations and the Founding Director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University. He is a frequent public speaker who speaks with great expertise and compassion about the findings of his book and how they can fit into the national conversation on racial and social justice. \nKendi has received research fellowships\, grants\, and visiting appointments from a variety of universities\, foundations\, professional associations\, and libraries\, including the American Historical Association\, Library of Congress\, National Academy of Education\, Spencer Foundation\, Lyndon B. Johnson Library & Museum\, Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis\, Brown University\, Princeton University\, Duke University\, University of Chicago\, and UCLA. Most recently\, he was named a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow for his work. \nThe Racial Equity Speaker series consists of events throughout the year with speakers highlighting national and regional racial equity issues. \nThank you to our partners\, Casey Family Programs\, Grantmakers of Oregon and Southwest Washington\, and Portland Community College Foundation.
