This program addresses the Civil War; even before Lincoln took office, the retreat from the Union had begun.

The next four years would be bloody, painful, unfortunate ones in the American story.

The ants are social insects with a fascinating story of division of labor and social organization. Their history of how this social structure developed from very simple beginnings to more complicated systems is interesting too. You’ll find that some ants eat protein food while others are vegetarians, and you’ll discover that the kind of society which ants maintain is related to their food habits. Robert Willey, an entomologist, will demonstrate these things with live colonies of ants. You’ll learn too how to keep an ant colony and what kinds of questions about behavior of ants you might answer by observation. On film, you will see an ant herdsman tending the aphid cows and stoking them to secure their sweet honeydew.

As the pandemic continues, so has life and work. We know things are different than before, but in which ways? In-person versus remote work is one area of life and work where we have been experiencing changes in the Libraries. Most IU Libraries staff worked remotely from late March 2020 through May/June 2021. Since summer 2021 library staff are increasingly working in the office, but the rapidly changing nature of the pandemic may alter this further. The reasons for working in-person versus working remotely are not necessarily clear in messaging from administrative areas of the university and the interpretation of that messaging varies by unit or department. In one office area of Herman B Wells Library, we sent out weekly surveys through the Fall 2021 semester to ask how work was happening and see if we could track any patterns or see any clear changes in how we do our work now. Join us for this topical conversation impacting libraries and other academic units across campuses throughout the country.

The skirmishes at Lexington and Concord and even the more determined fighting around Boston were only meant to show the mother country that the colonials were serious in their demand to be treated fairly as Englishmen. But then events moved rapidly. In July, 1776, the die was cast and the challenge thrown in the face of the British. The next years were full of heartbreaks and setbacks. Almost to the end, the outcome of the struggle was in serious doubt. While the war was on, the new nation often found distressing troubles of an internal nature. The independence for which the fight was being waged at times seemed to be anything but that sweet thing glimpsed in the dreams of freedom. But in the end, victory came to the Americans. In 1783 Great Britain officially recognized the United States of North America. The introductory chapters of the American story were concluded. The main chapters were to follow.

The mountains of supplies for combat loaded at ports of embarkation are unloaded under combat conditions and under fire in the South Pacific.

The never-ending battle of supply is graphically told in these pictures."--Supplement to Visual Aids Catalog, Indiana University Extension Division, May 1945.

"Our society told parents at that time, they’re retarded, you don’t want them at home, stick them in an institution, forget that they were born." Three interviewees who worked as staff at Muscatatuck and New Castle State Hospitals in the 1960s and 70s describe the admission of adults and children whose families had few options at the time. Medical advice was to institutionalize those labeled with an intellectual disability. Families lacked community supports and the financial means required to pay for care of their son or daughter at home. Public schools were not an option for children with intellectual disabilities. This video is a compilation of excerpts from interviews with Patty Cook, Sue Beecher, and Sarah Poole.

In this talk I will describe research and teaching organized around visual thinking and techniques. These include visual ethnography/narrative, semiotics, visual empiricism and phenomenology. I will illustrate each of these with examples from my research on railroad tramps, a thousand year old piazza in Bologna, Italy, the George Floyd memorial in Minneapolis and studies of the working knowledge of an auto mechanic. I will suggest how these research approaches translate to assignments in visual sociology courses, which can be adapted completely or in part to all disciplines of the social sciences, humanities and even the natural sciences.

War Food Administration, Nutrition and Conservation Branch, Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co.
Summary:
In This Too Is Sabotage narration states "the saboteur is malnutrition," showing underlying causes of workplace accidents, lost man-hours, and losses in wartime productivity are often caused by the poor nutrition of workers' diets. Announcing "we're fighting against improper eating," a wartime nutritional program built from 7 food groups is detailed. At a dramatized presentation demonstrating meal planning following these nutritional guidelines before an audience of women, the presenter states that the guidelines "will help us with the job that has been given to us women, as the guardians of the vigor and vitality of our families."
"In the field of nutrition, the Westinghouse Company's film, This Too Is Sabotage, does a good job of selling the fact that a well-balanced diet is essential to health and happiness. This film is shown to employees in over a thousand war plants. The lunch hour is a favored time. Pre-shift showings to early arrivals are well attended, though many prefer to stay after a shift" (C.A. Lindstrom, "Agricultural Pictures and the War" Journal of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers vol. 42, no. 3, March, 1944, p. 183)
