  Podcast of the Month: Lolita Podcast

<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://northwestern.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ecc8f42736a9405b016c3fe36&id=b8cfd7c517&e=979738e349__;!!Dq0X2DkFhyF93HkjWTBQKhk!XMA6Mx9NOYtXjsqnWsqSgjF6M855y6RF2qNMlvw5v4-_KMUR87FxCgc-7NcNh_ViVriTChH64da2JGGie9gm3s1fN_NVO522EJVL$> 

Jamie Loftus, a writer and the host of the podcast “The Bechdel Cast,” 
first read “Lolita” when she was in middle school and has been haunted 
by it ever since. She decided to unpack her complicated feelings about 
the material in the new “Lolita Podcast” which, despite its simplistic 
name, is a remarkably researched and complex dive into the rabbit hole 
of Nabokov’s work and the cultural twisting of his reputation. Loftus 
believes that Nabokov intended the story to damn its protagonist rather 
than exalt him, but she is more interested in exploring the long fallout 
of the novel. She probes many aspects of the “Lolita” industrial 
complex, from the film adaptations to the fashion shows, attempting to 
get to the heart of why the book maddens and endures.

*An intimate, inspiring memoir by educator and labor union leader Karen 
Lewis, a formidable fighter, a staunch defender of teachers and 
students, and a beloved Chicagoan.*

In 2012, Karen Lewis led the Chicago Teachers Union to a historic 
strike, challenging the city’s powerful mayor and paving the way for an 
unprecedented wave of teacher strikes in the decade that followed.

But Lewis’s life took her in rich and surprising directions long before 
she landed in the CTU President’s office. /I Didn’t Come Here to Lie/, 
written in collaboration with historian and education expert Elizabeth 
Todd-Breland, tells Lewis’s story in full for the first time, capturing 
her lively wit, her charisma, and her commitment to building the schools 
and communities teachers, students, and families deserve.

 From her childhood on Chicago’s South Side to her teen years organizing 
Black Power walkouts, from her education at Mount Holyoke and Dartmouth 
to her years in Oklahoma and Barbados and her stints in medical school 
and film school, readers follow Lewis through a life full of 
exploration. Wherever she was, she maintained a strong commitment to 
building fairness. She found her calling in the classroom, teaching 
science for more than twenty years before becoming a union leader in 
Chicago.

Up until her untimely death from brain cancer in 2021, Karen Lewis was 
spirited, unshakeable, and fierce. She remains a model for current 
organizers and teachers doing the day-to-day work of building a better 
world. /I Didn’t Come Here to Lie /is a testament to one of the true 
revolutionaries of her generation.

      April is Sexual Assault Action Month (SAAM)!

The purpose of CARE's annual Sexual Assault Action Month (SAAM) campaign 
is to increase the Northwestern community's understanding of the roots 
and impacts of sexual assault, to motivate all community members to 
contribute to prevention and survivor support, and to foster connection 
and healing for sexual assault survivors. It's important for us to 
remain involved in prevention and to support survivors year-round, but 
April provides a dedicated time for us to center these important issues.

For more information on the history of SAAM, you can check out the 
_National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) here. 
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://northwestern.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ecc8f42736a9405b016c3fe36&id=6312ed0979&e=979738e349__;!!Dq0X2DkFhyF93HkjWTBQKhk!XMA6Mx9NOYtXjsqnWsqSgjF6M855y6RF2qNMlvw5v4-_KMUR87FxCgc-7NcNh_ViVriTChH64da2JGGie9gm3s1fN_NVO7AptmOp$>_

The 2025 theme for Sexual Assault Action Month is Collective Action, 
Collective Care. This year marks the April following the official merger 
of CARE with Northwestern’s Health Promotion and Wellness (HPaW) office. 
CAREHPAW’s combined mission is providing outreach and education around 
holistic wellness through a lens of prevention, harm reduction, and 
survivor-centeredness in order to cultivate communities of care on 
campus.  This April we will focus on co-creating spaces of mutual 
support, collective action, and shared learning for survivors and all 
people who have been impacted by sexual harm with the understanding that 
work toward healing and well-being is always communal.

This spring quarter we will be offering an art focused support group for 
survivors. This six-week group will cover topics on self-worth, 
post-trauma grief, identity, and navigating life after experiences of 
harm. If you're interested, please email our CARE counselor and group

discuss what we've learned and collaborate on a creative art project 
together, so everyone is encouraged to return at the closing.

*Constructive Conflict: Skills for Having Hard Conversations* is a 
workshop that delves into the importance of conflict as a crucial 
element of communication, while exploring the opportunities that 
conflict can give us. Many of us have grown up learning that conflict is 
a negative experience and one that should generally be avoided. In this 
workshop, we'll learning how to distinguish between being uncomfortable 
and being unsafe, what conflict can indicate about the depth and 
importance of a relationship, and how to productively engage in conflict 
with colleagues and move forward together afterwards.

      /*Zhegagoynak, the place now known as Chicagoland, is a vital
      center for Indigenous art, past and present.*/

This winter, The Block will celebrate the region’s Indigenous creativity 
with a major exhibition, /Woven Being: Art for Zhegagoynak/Chicagoland/ 
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://northwestern.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ecc8f42736a9405b016c3fe36&id=e823511016&e=979738e349__;!!Dq0X2DkFhyF93HkjWTBQKhk!XMA6Mx9NOYtXjsqnWsqSgjF6M855y6RF2qNMlvw5v4-_KMUR87FxCgc-7NcNh_ViVriTChH64da2JGGie9gm3s1fN_NVO27ImTV5$>(January 
25-July 13, 2025).

Through the collaboration of four artists with connections to 
Zhegagoynak—*Andrea Carlson* (Grand Portage Ojibwe/European descent), 
*Kelly Church *(Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Tribe of Pottawatomi/Ottawa), 
*Nora Moore Lloyd *(Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe), 
and *Jason Wesaw *(Pokagon Band of Potawatomi) —/Woven Being/ explores 
confluences that continue to shape Indigenous creative practices in the 
region and beyond.

Chicagoland is the traditional homeland of the people of the Council of 
Three Fires— the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa—as well as the Menominee, 
Miami, Ho-Chunk, Sac, Fox, Kickapoo, and Illinois nations. It has been a 
longstanding cultural and economic hub for Indigenous peoples and 
continues to be today. People from many Indigenous nations call the 
region home, and the city of Chicago has the third-largest urban 
Indigenous population in the United States. The richness of Indigenous 
experiences and contributions are often excluded from Chicago’s art 
histories. /Woven Being/ counters this by centering the ideas, choices, 
and voices of Indigenous artists
