During the workshop, Dr. Brady will present lessons from her work “Bad Ass & Bold: Planning With Your Loves, Dreams, and Realities In Mind” and provide a reflective and engaging space for attendees to explore ways to practically master the juggling act of navigating one’s life and career while supporting others.

In partnership with the Chemistry Department and the Center for Intercultural Learning and Inclusion, with funding from the Barbara J Stahl Fellow Grant, DIIF Grant and the Gregory J Grappone Humanities Institute, the Community Cinema Series highlights Diversity and Inclusion in Stem with this free screening.

Secret Agents of the Underground Railroad is a revealing scientific exploration of how a Niagara Falls hotel, The Cataract House, became the focal point for a 19th century North American Black Resistance movement. Host Anthony Morgan meets a team of archaeologists who are working to recover parts of the hotel's foundation. In doing so, they unearth stories about how the hotel's head waiter, John Morrison, and his seemingly innocuous wait staff covertly orchestrated Freedom Seekers' escapes to freedom. What’s true of every archaeological dig is that below the surface, there is always more than meets the eye; and the dig at the once-renowned Cataract House is no exception

Following the screening, an engaging panel Q&A, moderated by Professor Mary Kate Donais will feature key members of the documentary team.

Panel guests:

• Saladin Allah, Director of Community Engagement at the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center
• Dr. Douglas Perrelli, Director of Archaeological Survey, SUNY Buffalo

Please join the Center for Ethics in Society on October 3rd, as Dr. Annabel Beerel examines the role of courage in both institutional and personal life. 

We begin with a discussion of the escalation of corporate crime over the past five years, the scale of employee involvement and the consequences to both individuals and society. This follows with an exploration into how courage is commonly understood, and why so many people were and are complicit in blatantly unethical behavior. What inhibits or detracts them from taking the courageous path of not engaging in ethical misdemeanors and/or whistleblowing? Through discussions and case studies we examine why we struggle to be courageous and wherein lie the major inhibitors.
 
The event will conclude with a discourse on a normative framework for defining courage and with examples of how we can strengthen our own capacities for courage. 

We invite you to participate in this time of courageous self-reflection. (Please note, dinner is included with this event.)
