On this week's program, we bring you a vital community conversation about Legislating Gender. On March 7th, the University of Louisville presented its 2024 Minx Auerbach Lecture featuring Paisley Currah, Professor of Women's & Gender Studies and Political Science at the City University of New York (CUNY), and author of the book, "Sex is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identity." The legislative assault on transgender people in the United States seems new, but governments have been regulating the lives of transgender people for decades. Outside of trans communities, few were aware of the Kafkaesque web of regulations that trans people find themselves in. Now that policing of the gender binary has been transformed from an unremarkable aspect of bureaucratic policymaking to a weapon in the culture wars, everyone is paying attention. In this talk, Paisley Currah will explore the connections between contemporary conflicts over trans issues and the history and persistence of gender and racial hierarchies in American society. Truth to Power brings you conversations you won't hear anywhere else on the airwaves. The program airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 7pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at http://forwardradio.org

This week we chat with Kari Heggen, a bookstagrammer from Iowa who set herself a goal to read all the Newbery Award winners from the past 102 years. Originally she had planned to read 10 a year but she ultimately decided to just get her done. She read 49 of the winners in 2023 and got a jump start on 2024 by reading this year’s winner, The Eye and the Impossible by Dave Eggers. Kari talks about the highs and lows of her Newbery Award challenge. Books from the early days of the award were decidedly not great. But by the 1960s, Kari got into a better groove and found herself enjoying books for the first time and often the second time which brought back some childhood nostalgia.

On this week’s program, your host, Justin Mog, takes a spring salad hike with George Barnett, author of the brand new book “Foraging Kentucky: An introduction to the edible plants, fungi, and tree crops of the Southeast” to be released by University Press of Kentucky on April 2, 2024 (http://www.thehungryforager.com). George is also the new Urban Agriculture Manager for Louisville Grows (http://louisvillegrows.org), where he is busy getting ready for this Saturday’s Cole Crops Sale and other spring Seeds and Starts sales (http://seedsandstarts.org). Listen in as we talk about all things foraging and getting your garden started this spring! Reviewers of George’s new book have this to say: "George Barnett shows that with this book he is not only knowledgeable, but has immeasurable wisdom about the forests and the wild areas of Kentucky. We should all consider ourselves lucky to have this edition to add to our library shelves. Foraging for food is at an all time high in popularity right now, and it is thanks to the hard work and dedication of people like George." ―Clay Bowers-Michigan, foraging teacher and nature enthusiast at http://nomiforager.com "While covering awesome native food plants like hickory and eastern camas, it's nice that George also includes non-native foods like wineberry and autumn olive. Combining wild edible plants and edible/medicinal mushrooms makes this book stand out in a fun and exciting way!" ―Jed Arkels, small nursery grower/owner of Drop Seed Ecology, and wild foods enthusiast "Barnett delivers an approachable, yet practical perspective on foraging in the region. He guides the reader with knowledgeable and personal experience― along with over 200 descriptive photos―that will help the beginner forager to head out into the woods with confidence. This invitation to the wild of Kentucky, through mushrooms, edible plants and herbs, introduces the reader to the edible outdoors with notes of identification, safety, practical uses, sustainability while also inspiring a reverence to the land. A must have for Kentucky foragers!" ―Jess Starwood, author of Mushroom Wanderland "Drawing on scientific studies, indigenous knowledge, folklore, and his own long experience, George Barnett has provided us with an informative and useful guide to some of Kentucky's most popular wild edibles, as well as several unheralded species that perhaps deserve more attention. His descriptions of some 50 herbs, fungi, and woody plants include wonderful photographs and detailed instructions for every step of the foraging enterprise, from how to find and harvest them to how to eat them. Anyone with any interest in foraging in and around the commonwealth should have Foraging Kentucky on their shelf." ―Luke Manget, author of Ginseng Diggers: A History of Root and Herb Gathering in Appalachia, winner of the 2023 W.D. Weatherford and James A. Duke Awards As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW!

On this week’s program, your host, Justin Mog, puts down his pruning saw for a conversation about the science of tree rings with Dr. Maegen Rochner. Maegen is a Dendrochronologist and a professor of Geographic & Environmental Sciences at the University of Louisville. Her research has focused on the use of tree-ring data to reconstruct past climate and environmental conditions. More specifically, her dissertation research used tree rings in relic and living whitebark pine and Engelmann spruce to investigate climate change and disturbance in the Beartooth Mountains of Northwest Wyoming. She also enjoys research in dendroarchaeology, or using tree-ring patterns to date historic frame structures, log cabins, canoes, and most anything made out of wood. Dr. Rochner has also assisted her colleagues in other fields of dendrochronology, including fire history studies, climate reconstruction, ecology, stand dynamics, and more. As a tree-ring scientist in Louisville, Maegen is interested in initiating local research projects focused on (1) urban forests and their responses to climate change and urban heat islands, (2) tree-ring dating of local historic resources, such as cabins, buildings, and artifacts, (3) pollution and invasive species, and (4) spatial differences in tree species and ages used in urban forests and parks.

On this week’s program, your host, Justin Mog, talks about repairing the racial wounds of the nation with a great panel of guests who are taking part in a special film screening and panel discussion coming up on Wednesday at the Muhammad Ali Center. With us this week are Xiao Yin Zhao, Executive Director of the World Affairs Council of Kentucky & Southern Indiana (http://worldkentucky.org); Kaitlyn Tisdale, Director of Interpretation at Locust Grove (http://locustgrove.org); and Randy Quarterman, one of the featured subjects of the documentary “The Cost of Inheritance.” Randy is a U.S. Army veteran and descendant of people enslaved by the Kellers in Savannah, Georgia. He co-founded the Reparations Project (https://reparationsproject.org/), which is the first project supported by the Quarterman Keller Foundation, to support Black education and legal land redress for Black families; to truth-tell; and to amplify Black voices. Randy also recommends the sites https://reparations4slavery.com/ and https://comingtothetable.org In recognition of Black History Month, on Wednesday, February 28th, at the Muhammad Ali Center, from 5:00-8:30pm (5pm reception, and 6pm film, followed by a panel discussion), the World Affairs Council is screening a film called “The Cost of Inheritance.” It is an hour-long documentary that explores the complex issue of reparations in the United States using a thoughtful approach to history, historical injustices, systemic inequities, and critical dialogue on racial conciliation. Through personal narratives, community inquiries, and scholarly insights, it aims to inspire understanding of the scope and rationale of the reparations debate. The event is free and open to the public, but you’ll need to register at http://worldkentucky.org We also discuss the history of enslavement at Locust Grove, right here in Louisville, where the Croghan family enslaved approximately 100 individuals between 1790 and 1856. These enslaved men, women and children were the heart of the farm. They cultivated the land, cared for the many animals, built and maintained the house and other structures, and tended to the most intimate needs of the Croghan and Clark families. At the peak of the farm’s operation in 1820, more than 40 enslaved people labored at Locust Grove. In 1849, the 22 enslaved individuals remaining at Locust Grove were emancipated by the will of Dr. John Croghan. However, those that were ‘freed’ from enslavement were then indentured for seven years before finally being released from bondage.
