Being knowledgeable about water supports individuals\u2019 informed decision making. Thus, in consultation with the City of Flagstaff\u2019s Water Services (CFWS), water-related risk perceptions and gaps in residents\u2019 water knowledge were investigated. Data were collected from residents (n=476) via Qualtrics. Results highlight variations among risk perceptions, trusted information sources, and preferred media for information dissemination. The next step is to use results to create targeted messages that can help <em>Getting the Information We Need to Ensure Our Water is Safe <\/em>increase residents\u2019 water knowledge and water conservation and stewardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drag\">The Rise in Anti-LGBTQ Legislation: A History of Drag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June 13, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Presenter:<\/strong> Dr. Meredith Heller, Assistant Dean, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Associate Teaching Professor, Department of Sociology<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Following a series of recent anti-LGBTQ bathroom bills, school mandates, and sports restrictions, 14 US states tried to pass legislation prohibiting drag performance. It might seem like queerness has always been framed as socially deviant, but the history of drag reveals a different story. Theatrical gender-bending was often a vehicle for upholding social and political norms. This presentation will show how the complex relationship between drag and popular perception does not support political sentiment that LGBTQ content is inherently anti-normative, \u201cunsuitable\u201d for children, or criminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"logo\">The Life of a Logo: Tenth-Anniversary Thoughts on the Symbol of NAU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June 20, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Presenter: Dr. James Bowie, Teaching Professor, Department of Sociology<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>What does a logo say about the institution it represents? Ten years ago, Dr. Bowie served on the committee that helped create the NAU logo. Since then, he has been collecting images that illustrate how the logo\u2019s design, use, and meaning have developed along with the university. He will present this visual evolution in the context of the history of symbols at NAU and with an eye to the larger significance of logos in our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"documentary\">Award-winning Documentary\u2013Life in the Soundcurrent: Finding Peace in the Desert<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June 27, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Presenter:<\/strong> Dr. Kurt Lancaster, Professor, Creative Media and Film<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us for a screening of the award-winning 45-minute documentary, Steve Roach: Life in the Soundcurrent by Dr. Kurt Lancaster. He will discuss the 5-year journey in making this film, what he learned, and the future of this film. It has screened at 30 film festivals and earned 9 awards.&nbsp;A man overwhelmed by the cacophony of everyday life turns to the desert to find peace, which inspires him to create music from what he refers to as the \u201csound current.\u201d Nearly three hundred albums later (and two Grammy nominations), he reflects on his life, loss, and process in what it means to sculpt sound from desert spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gastronomic\">Using Collaborative Video for the Conservation of Gastronomic Knowledge in Southern Mexico<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">July 11, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Presenter:<\/strong> Dr. Armando Medinaceli, Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Using conventional and digital research methods, this project documents gastronomic knowledge of the communities in the highlands of Chiapas. Following a collaborative approach, the initial phase included training a community research team on how to document and produce gastronomic videos in accessible formats for the local participating communities, as well as on methodologies for documenting traditional ecological knowledge. Videos serve as a path to involve people from different generations in a research process that responds to local interests toward the protection and conservation of local traditional gastronomic and ecological knowledge while supporting food sovereignty initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"anarchism\">Anarchy in Action: Exploring the Politics and Activism of Dissent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">July 18, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Presenter: <\/strong>Dr. Sean Parson, Associate Professor, Department of Politics and International Affairs and Department of Sociology<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Anarchism has provided a powerful ideological tool for protests and experimental politics throughout the world: ranging from occupy wall street,&nbsp; black lives matter, the climate justice movement, and the anti-fascist resistance to right-wing populism. While central to social movement politics, anarchism is poorly understood in mainstream culture, as it is often associated with chaos and violence. This talk will navigate the intricate terrain of anarchism engaging with both its theoretical foundations and historical examples of anarchism in practice, focusing on the Spanish civil war, the Rajava project in Kurdish areas of Syria, the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"music\">Music as Agent for Social Connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">July 25, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Presenter: Dr. Eylin Palamaro-Munsell, Associate Chair and Associate Teaching Professor, Psychological Sciences<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Music can be both personal and communal. A collective musical experience, such as a live concert, operates not simply as a soundtrack for an occasion, but as a catalyst for a shared emotional event. For example, much of the music created in the 1960\u2019s was fueled by ideology that solidified a movement and rallied community to action. This session explores the role music plays in building interpersonal connections. We highlight examples of social connection in two disparate music-based communities, punk rock and K-pop. Attendees will be invited to consider and share their own connections to the music of their lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"connected\"><strong>Stay connected<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Join the series mailing list by emailing <a href=\"mailto:sbs.news@nau.edu\"><u>sbs.news@nau.edu<\/u><\/a> or like the series on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SBSSummer\/\">Facebook.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Support\"><strong>Support the series<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- removed margin utility classes pt-0 mb-0 mb-md-70 mb-lg-100 -->\n<section class=\"nau-block headline-image-wysiwyg  color-scheme-blue \">\n    <header class=\"hiw-head-and-hero-wrapper\">\n\n        \n        <picture>\n            <source media=\"(min-width: 1100px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/344\/2023\/12\/4026_sbs_20131007-2000x800-1-2000x1125.jpg\">\n            <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/344\/2023\/12\/4026_sbs_20131007-2000x800-1-1200x800.jpg\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/344\/2023\/12\/4026_sbs_20131007-2000x800-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"S B S Building.\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/header>\n\n    <div class=\"hiw-innerblockwrapper  \">\n        \n        <!--h3><\/h3-->\n\n        <div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n            <div class=\"wp-block-column\"><p>This series is made possible thanks to the generosity of our community members.
