Dan Kaufman, author of The Fall of Wisconsin: The Conservative Conquest of a Progressive Bastion and the Future of American Politics
The UWM College of Letters and Science Center for 21st Century Studies presents a special talk from journalist Dan Kaufman titled 'The Fall of Wisconsin: The Legacy of Divide-and-Conquer Politics and the Aftermath of the 2018 Elections.'
He will also delve into the history of Wisconsin’s progressive tradition and that legacy’s profound influence on the nation. The first workman’s compensation program, the first unemployment insurance program, the first progressive income tax all came from Wisconsin, while much of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, including the Social Security Act, was drafted by Wisconsinites loyal to the Wisconsin Idea, an ethos that placed a moral obligation on the University of Wisconsin to improve the lives of the state’s citizens.
Registration is not required for this event. Paid parking is available at the UWM Union garage at a surface lot just north of the Library.

YA Boswell!, with Kathleen Glasgow, author of How to Make Friends with the Dark
Meet the author of the breakout New-York-Times-bestselling novel Girl in Pieces as she chats with Boswellian Jenny Chou about How to Make Friends with the Dark, her new novel.
"This isn’t a hopeful novel that asks readers to make peace with death. Instead, it’s a book about survival that asks us to recognize that small moments of joy, such as the soft touch of a horse’s mane, are still possible. Yes, your heart will break, but read How to Make Friends With the Dark for the gorgeous prose and the characters you’ll be glad you met."
Karen M McManus, author of One of Us is Lying, calls Glasgow’s latest, “A rare and powerful novel… dives deep into the heart of grief and healing with honesty, empathy, and grace.” And Kirkus Reviews says, “a first-person experience of the void left behind when the most important person in a young woman’s life is suddenly gone. It’s visceral and traumatic, pulsing with ache. A gritty, raw account of surviving tragedy one minute at a time.”

KLH Wells, author of Weaving Modernism: Postwar Tapestry Between Paris and New York
KLH (Kay) Wells, Assistant Professor of Art History at UWM, presents an unprecedented study that reveals tapestry’s role as a modernist medium and a model for the movement’s discourse on both sides of the Atlantic in the decades following World War II. Cosponsored by the Portrait Society Gallery.
With a revelatory analysis of how the postwar French tapestry revival provided a medium for modern art and a model for its discourse and marketing on both sides of the Atlantic, Weaving Modernism presents a fascinating reexamination of modernism’s relationship to decoration, reproducibility, and politics.
Wells situates tapestry as part of a broader “marketplace modernism” in which artists participated, conjuring a lived experience of visual culture in corporate lobbies, churches, and even airplanes, as well as in galleries and private homes. This extensively researched study features previously unpublished illustrations and little-known works by such major artists as Helen Frankenthaler, Henri Matisse, Robert Motherwell, Pablo Picasso, and Frank Stella.

Boswell Celebrates Milwaukee Day with Justin Kern, editor of The Milwaukee Anthologywith Anthology contributors James Causey, Todd Lazarski, Robert Earl Thomas, and Paige Towers
The Milwaukee Anthology is a book on hope and hurt in one of America's toughest ZIP codes. In these pages are the stories of a Grecian basketball superstar in the making, of Sikh temple services that carry on after one of America's most notorious mass shootings, and of an astronaut's wish for kids in the same school halls where he formed a dream of space.
It’s about Riverwest, Sherman Park, and the South Side, Hmong New Year's shows, the 7 Mile Fair, and the Rolling Mill commemoration, a book about a place on the lake that can make you say "yes" and wonder "why" in the same thought.
