by Jennifer Dye 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

The Detroit Public Library has partnered with the Wayne State Shiffman Library on a webinar to address unmet patron information needs in choosing health insurance. Presented by Emily Vardell of Emporia State University, whose research interests are in the area of health information behavior. More information about Professor Vardell and the presentation is available on the Eventbrite registration link. The program will be available Tuesday, November 10, from 2-3 EST via GoToMeeting. The link will be sent to registrants. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/health-insurance-literacy-in-public-libraries-… I'm looking forward to this because there is a lot to be aware of in helping people to choose health insurance, without unintentionally going over lines that shouldn't be crossed.

Sent on Behalf of the Monroe County Historical Museum: The Monroe County Museum System assembles national and local historians and invites all to our Online Speaker Series 2020-2021. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, visitors came to the Monroe County Museum System (MCMS) to learn about the past. Now, the MCMS team is proud to deliver history to our community via this year’s Online Speaker Series. >From November through March, people anywhere can join Monroe citizens online on select evenings to experience in-person virtual presentations from cutting-edge historians across the U.S. The presenters will share pertinent topics and new scholarship that connect our county’s stories with bigger movements in American history. “Realizing our mission in service to our community, while keeping everyone safe, presents challenges,” explained Museum Deputy Director JJ Przewozniak. “But in this case,” he continued, “we had two significant opportunities: we could host a more diverse and scholarly group than ever before, and we could really expand our audience. Now, people anywhere can participate with our community.” Featured in the series is Alex Kershaw, presenting on Thursday, November 19. Kershaw is an honorary colonel in the 116th Infantry Regiment of the 29th Division, and is the widely acclaimed and award-winning author of several New York Times best-selling books about WWII. He has an honorary doctorate in military history and is a director of the National WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. An adaptation of his 2012 book, The Liberator, will be released on Netflix November 11. Headlining the series is Peter Cozzens, presenting on Thursday January 21, 2021. He’ll be discussing Tecumseh and the Prophet (released October 2020), the first biography of the great Shawnee leader in more than twenty years, and the first to make clear that his misunderstood younger brother, Tenskwatawa, was an equal partner in the last great pan-Indian alliance against the United States. Cozzens is a celebrated author or editor of sixteen acclaimed books on the American Civil War and the Indian Wars of the American West, and a member of the Advisory Council of the Lincoln Prize. Kershaw and Cozzens are part of a group of ten speakers in total, including Ric Mixter, Theodore J. Karamanski (Loyola University Chicago), James E.
