Exploring Place(-making): Insights from Urban Geography - Hackley Distinguished Lecture 5/15/2025 7:00 PM - 5/6/2025

Wed, 07 May 2025 09:40:02 GMT

Dr. Deborah Martin, Professor of Geography at Clark University, will present the 2025 Hackley Distinguished Lecture in the Humanities.

The event will take place on Thursday, May 15, at the Central United Methodist Church, 1011 2^nd Street, Muskegon.

A reception will follow at Hackley Public Library.

The event is free and open to the public.

Dr. Martin’s teaching focuses on urban geography, particularly the development of American Cities and history of planning in the United States, as well as qualitative research methods.
Her research examines the meanings and understandings of place in local politics and activism, mostly in the United States.

In her lecture, Exploring Place(-making): Insights from Urban Geography, Dr. Martin will draw on her 2023 book, How to Think About Cities, to introduce a geographical approach to thinking about place as a concept. She will then apply that lens to some urban development and urban forestry problems she has encountered in her home of Worcester, Massachusetts, seeking insights that can inform what she calls place-making in the Muskegon area.

In 2018, Muskegon was named Strongest Town by the national Strong Towns organization, a non-profit community development group. The award recognizes America’s most sustainable and resilient communities. Muskegon was recognized for its efforts to implement change with optimism and dedication to community-building, making Dr. Martin’s insights particularly fitting.

Since 1981, Friends of Hackley Public Library has presented the Charles H. Hackley Distinguished Lecture Award to an individual who has a tie to Muskegon and who, in their work and life, has distinguished themselves in the humanities. Dr. Martin was born in Muskegon and still considers this her home base. At the event, John Noling and Ron Pesch will be honored with 2024 Commendation for Service to the Humanities Awards. Commendations have been awarded since 1983 to those who have contributed to the humanities in Muskegon County through engagement with history, literature, visual and performing arts, languages, philosophy, and other humanities subjects.

Friends is a 501(c)(3) organization established in 1973 to support Hackley Public Library. We also strive to stimulate interest in reading and literacy, help develop and promote the Library’s services, and enhance the community’s cultural life. Friends provides over $25,000 annually to support free library programs for children and adults. This active group of community volunteers has also funded significant projects as stewards of the 130+ year old historic library building. Since its inception, Friends has invested over $1 million in Hackley Public Library.

Depolarizing Ourselves: A Braver Angels Michigan Workshop 5/29/2025 5:30 PM - 5/29/2025 7:30 PM

Mon, 12 May 2025 08:52:35 GMT

Challenge your thinking at White Lake Community Library on Thursday, May 29th, 5:30-7:30pm with the Braver Angels of Michigan workshop "Depolarizing Ourselves."

Polarization is fueled by how we talk about those on the other side of an issue. Too often, we ridicule, dismiss, or stereotype our fellow citizens. When Braver Angels addresses “polarization,” we are not referring to healthy disagreements over issues or philosophy. We are addressing how we regard and talk about large groups of people — people who happen to be on the other side of the political aisle.

In this free 2-hour workshop open to all adults and high school students, participants will learn:

How to be more aware of their own “inner polarizer”
How to be critical without demonizing, dismissing or stereotyping large swaths of the population

Save your spot for this conversation by registering today at wlclib.org/calendar!

Braver Angels is a non-profit organization bringing Americans together to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen our democratic republic. Find out more about the Michigan chapter at braverangelsmi.org.

This event is part of the "Beyond Polarization: Making Conversations Possible" community conversation series sponsored by WVU Public Media, GVSU's Padnos/Sarosik Center for Civil Discourse, and area libraries. Funding is provided through a grant from the Community Foundation for Muskegon County.
