                     Randall Lewis Seminar Series for October 16, 2008

                  Developing a Sense of Place: How Do We Nurture Community?

                  What, exactly, is community and how do we find it? How do you feel when you feel you belong? What is it you feel when you feel “at home”?

                  Historian Karen Wilson, Ph.D., Assistant Director of the Gluck Fellows Program of the Arts at UC Riverside, will consider these questions, examine case studies of old and new community-making, and discuss guidelines to building community at the Oct. 16 Randall Lewis Seminar Series.

                  She has examined the building and maintenance of community for nearly 30 years, first by examining the effect of education and community building on individuals, families and communities in the 1970s with Pulitizer Prize-winning historian Lawrence Cremin at teachers College, Columbia University.

                  She also was a community cultivation specialist for the Girl Scouts of America, where she trained field staff in how to attract girls of many backgrounds in building satisfying relationships in Girl Scouting. Most recently, her doctoral research has investigated the ways people under stress in the 18th and 19th centuries in the U.S. built communities that protected their psyches, advanced their intellectual abilities and conforted their souls.

                  “What we find is that humans build community naturally when they are provided with opportunities to do so,” she says. “The simplest experiences—often, but not always, pleasant—can foster community among people who may have had no connection before.” 
                   


                  The seminar will begin at 5:30 p.m. at University Village, Chancellor's Conference Room (UV207). See map.

                  The seminars are free of charge.
