SUMMARY:Community Paint Day with the Tacony CDC and Mat Tomeszko
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday March 23rd from 1:00pm-3:00pm for a Community Paint Day\n\n\nStill Life is a genre of art that typically depicts ordinary objects from everyday life. It is deceptive in its simplicity\, because by recording these objects in paint\, over time it becomes a record of history\, and speaks volumes about individuals and a community.  \n \nThe Tacony Community Development Corporation is working with artist Mat Tomeszko to create a community Still Life Project inspired by the stories of Tacony. This Spring\, we’ve been collecting stories about the neighborhood and what it means to Tacony’s residents and visitors. These stories will be turned into series of temporarily installed murals at multiple locations along Torresdale Avenue\, with three large\, central compositions containing all the objects from our stories in a classical arrangement\, as well as several small\, individual objects installed throughout the community.  \nThis event is the first of a series of Community Paint sessions\, to be hosted at the Tacony LAB Community Arts Center (6918 Torresdale) on March 23rd from 1-3 PM. Join us to contribute to this Still Life Project and to make your mark on the Tacony neighborhood! \nRegistration is not required.

SUMMARY:The Troubled History of Alternative Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Shireen Hamza examines the incorporation of non-Western medicine into biomedical institutions in the United States.\n\n\nThe incorporation of elements of non-Western medicine by biomedical institutions in the United States has been called complementary\, integrative\, or “alternative” medicine. But to offer acupuncture\, yoga\, or herbal medicine within a biomedical clinic is a radically different context from those in which these therapeutic practices were first developed. \nIn this lecture\, Shireen Hamza will explore the long histories of these traditions\, their transformation through colonialism\, and the plural approach of several “people’s medicine” initiatives\, including the Black Panthers. The history and philosophy of science can help us understand the epistemological and political choices behind the inclusion of certain practices\, and not others\, within “alternative” or “integrative” medicine today. \n \nAbout the speaker\nShireen Hamza’s dissertation project is a reassessment of the concept of “Islamic medicine” by studying this scholarly medical tradition\, ṭibb\, across the Indian Ocean World. Working on texts of both Galenic and Ayurvedic medicine composed in Arabic and Persian between the 13th and 15th centuries\, she shows the coexistence of and exchange between multiple traditions of healing. Focusing on medicine at medieval courts\, madrasas\, and port cities in Yemen and Gujarat\, she traces the circulation and transformation of disease categories and medicinal substances. Her work has been supported by the Social Science Research Council and the Fulbright Commission. \nAs part of her secondary field in critical media practice\, she explores questions of gender and historical memory with contemporary practitioners of Unani medicine in India. She is a managing editor for the Ottoman History Podcast\, and wrote and produced Ventricles\, a podcast on science outside the West. \n\n\nAbout the series\nOur Science and Society speaker series explores the history of science embedded in our everyday lives. We invite scientists\, historians\, policymakers\, and educators for engaging\, in-depth conversations that expand our perspectives. Program formats include lectures\, interviews\, roundtables\, and book launches. Science and Society events are curated for an adult audience\, fostering curiosity\, conversation\, and interactivity. Each evening concludes with a free reception with the speakers. \n\n\nFeatured image from Medicinal Plants: An Illustrated and Descriptive Guide to Plants Indigenous to and Naturalized in the United States\, Volume I\, by Charles Frederick Millspaugh\, 1892.

SUMMARY:Vision Zero PHL 2024
DESCRIPTION:Traffic fatalities across the country have been on the rise\, with pedestrians\, cyclists\, and other vulnerable road users making up a higher percentage of victims than ever before. Philadelphia is not alone in grappling with how to implement effective & positive changes to combat the crisis. \nHow do we bring Vision Zero to the mainstream? What are effective strategies for taking the politics out of saving lives? How do we deepen the work in our communities and expand the scale of proven-effective tools? \nExplore these questions with us at Vision Zero PHL 2024! \nThe day-long conference featuring local and nationally-recognized speakers & panelists will be held in person at Temple University on Friday\, March 22nd\, 2024 from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Tickets are available online and include a catered lunch. \nBring your voice to Vision Zero PHL in 2024! Conference registration includes morning and afternoon plenary sessions\, as well as breakout sessions and a luncheon speaker (catered lunch provided). \nVision Zero holds that safe streets should be a reality for every Philadelphian\, regardless of race\, neighborhood\, income level\, etc. To help encourage equitable access for everyone who wants to join the conversation about improving street safety\, ticket pricing is offered on a sliding scale. General Admission is the base cost for the event\, while Student/Community Member pricing is for those with a tighter budget. Pay-It-Forward helps to cover others attending the conference. Choose the level that feels comfortable for you. \nAll events located at:\nTemple University Student Center South\n1755 N 13th St\nPhiladelphia\, PA 19122
