DESCRIPTION:For anyone thinking about graduate school\, one of the primary 
 considerations is the faculty. Who are they beyond the courses they teach? 
 What are their research passions? How do they apply the principles of cultu
 ral sustainability in practice? How might they help me achieve my career go
 als? This year the M.A. in Cultural Sustainability is offering a series of 
 virtual chats featuring our faculty. Whether teaching English to refugees f
 rom Ukraine\, leading truth and reconciliation hearings\, navigating the wo
 rld of UNESCO\, or working with indigenous villages in Peru to battle clima
 te change\, they are scholars and practitioners who will mentor and inspire
  you. Join us to learn about their work beyond the classroom and how that i
 nfluences their teaching.\n\nFor this webinar\, meet folklorists Amy Skillm
 an and Rory Turner\, who will talk about their work in communities as diffe
 rent as women sea captains and urban drummers. Find out what they have in c
 ommon as they approach these diverse worlds.\n\nAmy Skillman: When she isn’
 t teaching for the M.A.C.S. Program\, Amy Skillman puts her U.S. Coast Guar
 d Captain’s License to work teaching sailing. Over the years she has begun 
 weaving the threads of folklore and sailing into an exploration of risk thr
 ough the storm stories women sailors tell. Story is at the core of our work
  in cultural sustainability as markers of identity and embodiments of knowl
 edge. Storm stories in particular may offer new narratives for understandin
 g our relationship with the elements. During this chat\, Amy will share som
 e of the stories she gathered from women sea captains through an Archie Gre
 en Fellowship from the Library of Congress.\n\nRory Turner: Rory Turner has
  a passion for rhythm. He is a drummer himself and participates regularly i
 n the Park Vibe drum group that meets in Druid Hill Park in Baltimore. Sinc
 e 2014 he has been part of the leadership team for the Baltimore Rhythm Fes
 tival\, which revived the earlier Baltimore International Rhythm and Drummi
 ng Society (BIRDS). For this talk\, he will share his thoughts on the festi
 val as theorized practice. He will show images from the event and talk abou
 t its past\, present\, and future as well as its connection to his understa
 nding of culture and community. The festival takes place on September 13 th
 is year\, so he will come to the chat with very fresh reflections.
