SUMMARY:Wilton Library/Historical Soc. Scholarly Series: Jazzed Up–The History of Jazz in America\, Reggie Quinerly Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In the 13th year of the collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series focuses on the theme of “Jazzed Up: The History of Jazz in America.” \nIn this lecture\, Reggie Quinerly addresses the factors\, influences and artistic offerings associated with the unique period in America’s history that was the Harlem Renaissance. \nDuring the 1920s\, the African-American enclave of Harlem was the epicenter of a deep cultural transformation. This movement acknowledged and utilized the artistic expression of many brilliant thinkers. The impact of this Renaissance was widespread and became the essential crucible from which a new generation emerged. \nQuinerly grew up in a rich musical environment in Houston and graduated from the Mannes School of Music at New School University where he got to study with three great drummers:  Jimmy Cobb\, Lewis Nash\, and Kenny Washington. After some time honing his chops on the scene\, he returned to school earning his Master’s in Jazz Studies at the prestigious Juilliard School. He has played with such leading artists as Wynton and Branford Marsalis\, Joe Lovano\, Chico and Von Freeman\, and Greg Osby. In 2017\, he fulfilled a life-long goal of returning to higher education\, this time as a Juilliard faculty member and in the summer of 2019\, he joined the faculty at Hunter College. He holds a Supervisors certification and Vice-Principal and Principal certifications in Education. He is a member of Percussive Arts Society and the New Jersey Education Association. \nThe moderator is Steve Hudspeth. \nThe series is sponsored by Charles Schwab & Co.\, Inc.; the media sponsor is The Wilton Bulletin. A reception will follow the talk. No charge but donations are always welcomed. Registration (online) is required for each lecture individually. The event is full with a waitlist. \n

Morgan: An American Aristocrat\,” author and investigative reporter Susan Berfield of Bloomberg Businessweek and Bloomberg News will discuss J.P.

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America – Dr. Janus Adams
DESCRIPTION:In the 16th year of collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly four-part lecture series will focus on the theme of “A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America.” \nThe lectures will be held on Sunday afternoons\, beginning on Jan. 29\, at 4-5:30 p.m.\, with each session requiring a separate registration. The four lectures will be hosted by either Wilton Library or Wilton Historical Society. \nDuring this kick-off program\, “Bending the Arc: The Promise of Reconstruction Derailed; Navigating a Century of Jim Crow Apartheid\,” Emmy Award-winning journalist\, historian\, author and radio host Dr. Janus Adams will discuss how she met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, their brief conversation\, and the charge he gave this then-10-year-old girl. Many of you will undoubtedly recognize in her lecture title the reference to Dr. King’s famous quote: “The arc of the moral universe is long\, but it bends toward justice.” Reconstruction\, begun right after the Civil War ended\, held much promise for the true liberation of Blacks in America. How was Reconstruction derailed and how did the resulting Jim Crow in the South and de jure as well as de facto segregation in the North operate? What are examples of Black success stories notwithstanding those devastating restrictions? \nAdams is an Emmy Award-winning journalist\, historian\, entrepreneur\, keynote speaker\, and author. She is also the producer and host of public radio’s “The Janus Adams Show” and podcast. Engaged by history since childhood\, at age 8 she was one of four children selected to break New York’s de facto segregation in the wake of the Brown v. Board of Education decision. At age 10\, she was introduced to Dr. King. A pioneer of issue-oriented African-American and women’s programming\, she has hosted and produced numerous talk shows for public broadcasting and cable news. She is a frequent on-air guest and a significant contributor to print and online media outlets. A former Wilton resident\, she began her 16-year run as a syndicated columnist with the Wilton Bulletin. She is a classically trained pianist and the founder of children’s book publisher BackPax. \nThe moderator is Stephen Hudspeth. This lecture is sponsored by Kathleen and Bill Brennan. There is no charge to attend; donations are welcome. Visit the Wilton Library website for registration\, additional dates\, topic and speaker details. Registration is required for each individual session.

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America — Dr. Camesha Scruggs
DESCRIPTION:In the 16th year of collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series will focus on the theme of “A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America.” During this program at Wilton Library\, Dr. Camesha Scruggs\, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University\, will discuss the role of children and domestic workers as change agents in the Civil Rights Movement which in popular memory focuses on individuals such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. However\, children are an integral part of the movement. From participants in school desegregation efforts to domestic workers’ contributions to local boycotts\, we see their roles are vital to advancing the cause of civil rights. \nScruggs is a recent Ph.D. recipient in history from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst\, and the author of Kids and Kitchens: The Role of Children and Domestic Workers in the Civil Rights Movement. A native Texan\, she received a BA and MA in history from Texas Southern University. Her research fields are 20th century US\, African American Public History and Gender and Empire. She serves on the executive boards of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History and the National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites. She performs volunteer work for various community preservation initiatives\, bringing stories to broader audiences. Her current project examines the lived experiences of Texas African-American women domestic servants in the early 20th century and how interventions from social\, civic\, government and higher education institutions impact the occupation. \nThe moderator is Max Gabrielson. A reception will follow the talk. There is no charge to attend\, but donations are welcome. Visit the Wilton Library website for additional dates\, topic and speaker details\, and registration. Registration is required for each individual session. \nAdditional dates:  \nMarch 12: US Women Demand Equity: From Voting Rights to Work Conditions — Dr. Aimee Loiselle\nMarch 26:  The Long Road toward LGBTQ+ Rights and Equality in the United States — Dr. Kelly Marino

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America – Dr. Aimee Loiselle
DESCRIPTION:US Women Demand Equity: From Voting Rights to Work Conditions – Dr. Aimee Loiselle\, Central Connecticut State University. \nIn the 16th year of collaboration between Wilton Library and Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series entitled “A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America” will focus on how women from different backgrounds and regions have pursued equity by different means. \nDuring this program\, Aimee Loiselle\, an assistant professor at Central Connecticut State University\, will discuss how even the suffrage movement and passage of the 19th Amendment\, granting women the federal right to vote in 1920\, emerged from many tactics heavily shaped by race\, class\, and geography. Its passage fueled more efforts by women\, both to use the vote and to highlight its inadequacy for addressing problems like unfair work conditions and poverty. Middle-class white women\, Black women\, and working-class women had points of collaboration and division throughout the 20th century as they demanded equity on different terms. \nDr. Loiselle is an award-winning historian. She studies modern US history with an interest in women workers and attention to intersections of gender\, race\, class\, and citizenship. \nThe moderator is Max Gabrielson. A reception will follow the talk. There is no charge to attend\, but donations are welcome. Visit the Wilton Library website for additional dates\, topic and speaker details\, and registration. Registration is required for each individual session. \nAdditional dates: \nMarch 26:  The Long Road toward LGBTQ+ Rights and Equality in the United States — Dr. Kelly Marino

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement – Jamie Eves
DESCRIPTION:“Down Sodom: The Impact of Rapid Industrialization on Everyday Life in Late 18th- and Early 19th-Century Connecticut ” — Jamie Eves\, Mill Museum\nIn the 17th year of the collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series will focus on the theme of “Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement.” In this lecture\, Jamie Eves\, senior curator of the Mill Museum in Willimantic\, CT\, will discuss how New Englanders dealt with the rapid evolution of many industrializing towns during the 18th and 19th centuries in the face of changing technologies. New innovations brought new businesses\, wealth\, and people to many Connecticut towns\, in some cases even building entirely new communities with their own distinct identities. However\, with change comes resistance and resentment as people connected to these communities embraced or rejected the new reality that technology enabled. \nEves is the Mill Museum’s senior curator and historian in residence\, as well as the town historian of Windham\, CT. He earned a PhD in American history at the University of Connecticut. His doctoral dissertation\, “Valley White With Mist\,” examines the relationships between people and environment in the Piscataquis River Valley in northern Maine. He has an MA and BA in history from the University of Maine. He is executive director emeritus of the Mill Museum\, having served in that capacity from 2011 until 2021. Jamie has been teaching history at the university level for more than 25 years with research specialties including 18th-\, 19th-\, and 20th-century American environmental and industrial history\, the history of New England\, and public history. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Connecticut League of Museums. \nThis series is sponsored by Laureen Mody. The moderator for this lecture is Wilton Historical Soceity Executive Director Nick Foster. \nThe other lectures in the series include (please note the location and time of each lecture): \n\nThursday\, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m.\, Wilton Historical Society: “Where did the Internet\, Stealth\, GPS\, and Covid mRNA vaccines come from? The Role of DARPA in Fostering Disruptive Technologies” with William Bonvillian\nSunday\, March 10 at 4 p.m.\, Wilton Library: “The Future of Innovation” with Dr. John Kao\n\nA reception will follow the talks.

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement — William Boone Bonvillian
DESCRIPTION:Where did the Internet\, Stealth\, GPS\, and Covid mRNA vaccines come from? The Role of DARPA in Fostering Disruptive Technologies — William Bonvillian\, MIT \nIn the 17th year of Wilton Library and Wilton Historical Society’s collaboration\, the scholarly lecture series focuses on the theme of Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement. In this lecture\, William Bonvillian\, MIT lecturer and Wilton resident\, discusses the U.S. government’s crucial role in the development of everything from the internet to COVID vaccines. \nThe government not only funds the research that leads to these technological advances\, but also bridges the gap between scientific breakthroughs and their commercially successful applications. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is one of the most extraordinary engines over the past half-century for such activity. Later\, “clones” in other government agencies beyond the U.S. Department of Defense\, DARPA’s home\, also took on some of that responsibility. This session describes those breakthroughs and illuminates DARPA’s (and its clones’) role in bringing them about. \nBonvillian is a lecturer at MIT and a senior director at MIT’s Program for Open Learning. From 2006 until 2017\, he was the director of MIT’s Washington office\, supporting MIT’s long-standing role in science policy. He now teaches courses on science and technology policy at MIT and is the author of five books on innovation policy\, including a 2020 book on DARPA. Previously\, he worked for over 15 years on innovation issues as a senior advisor in the U.S. Senate\, and earlier was a Deputy Assistant U.S. Secretary of Transportation. He has served on two National Academy of Science (NAS) Boards and nine other NAS committees and was named a Fellow by the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences. He is a Wilton resident and Wilton High School graduate and earned degrees from Columbia\, Yale and Columbia Law. \nThis series is sponsored by Laureen Mody and the moderator is Steve Hudspeth. A reception follows the talk and there is no charge to attend\, but donations are welcome.

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement — John Kao
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Innovation — John Kao\, Turing Fellow at Yale’s Digital Media Center \nIn the 17th year of Wilton Library and Wilton Historical Society’s collaboration\, the scholarly lecture series focuses on the theme of “Innovation\, Disruption\, Revolution: The Impact of Technological Advancement.” In this lecture\, John Kao presents a contemporary view of what innovation is\, where it is going\, and how advanced technology is reshaping its foundations. \nThe current state of innovation does not\, for the most part\, fit new business and societal realities. Innovation remains essential\, especially in these turbulent times. But\, to remain relevant\, evolution is necessary. Its very definition needs clarification and reimagination. The future of innovation is intimately entwined with the rapid advance of technology. Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT\, innovation marketplaces\, and augmented reality are only some of the influences that will shape future innovation practices. And\, they raise the central question of how humans and machines will renegotiate the trade space for creativity\, entrepreneurship…and innovation. \nFor the past 25 years\, Kao worked with the ideas of innovation\, creativity\, entrepreneurship and leadership. Dubbed “Mr. Creativity” by The Economist\, his work is varied. This includes 14 years at Harvard Business School\, visiting appointments at the MIT Media Lab and attendance at the US Naval Postgraduate School\, among others. He also graced Hollywood\, Broadway\, the music industry\, politics and national security and Silicon Valley with his expertise. \nKao is currently the Turing Fellow at Yale’s Digital Media Center\, a Visiting Fellow at Yale Engineering School and a Yale entrepreneur-in-residence. He co-founded and is Chairman Emeritus of ThayerMahan\, Inc.\, a leader in maritime intelligence. With a BA and MD from Yale and a Harvard MBA\, Kao is also the author of Jamming and Innovation Nation: How America Is Losing Its Innovation Edge\, Why It Matters and What We Can Do To Get It Back. \nThis series is sponsored by Laureen Mody.
