SUMMARY:Celebrate American History Through Folksong with Derek Piotr - C.H. Booth Library Historical Programs
DESCRIPTION:The Derek Piotr Fieldwork Archive contains over 1\,500 audio recordings made from March 2020 onward\, and preserves diverse representations of folklife; ballads\, hymns\, tales\, poems\, children’s songs\, and interviews among them. The focus of this collection is on the “non-singer”: someone with no background in musical performance who can nevertheless relate a song or folkloric memory. In this lecture\, Derek will walk you through the process of journeying everywhere from Iceland to Appalachia to record these songs from non-musicians\, as well as the organization and development of the Archive as a web-based repository.

SUMMARY:A Purposeful Life: Finding Meaning and Direction at Every Age presentation

The session will combine accessible research\, practical reflection\, and a guided purpose-finding exercise designed for people at many stages of life. \nParticipants will be invited to think about where purpose comes from\, what can get in the way of it\, and how new possibilities can emerge even during times of uncertainty\, transition\, or change. \nOur Presenter: Bradley Wright\, PhD\, is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut and founder of the Life Purpose Lab.
