SUMMARY:Why Privacy Matters: The Essential Lessons
DESCRIPTION:*This is a DiscourseBHAM special event in partnership with Birmingham’s own Thank You Books. \nA timely\, no-nonsense talk from a leading privacy scholar about why privacy matters\, why it’s essential for a fulfilling life\, and practical ways you can protect yours—without throwing away your phone or laptop or sounding like you live in a bunker somewhere off the grid. \nBut isn’t privacy\, like\, basically dead already? Isn’t it a bit self-obsessed to think to think anyone cares that you bought a water bottle on Amazon or binged Stranger Things on Netflix? It’s not like we’re all going to just stop using devices… and if you’re not doing anything wrong then you should have nothing to hide\, right? \nWe’ll untangle these things with clear\, practical insights you can use to think and act intelligently about your privacy in the modern world. \n*In partnership with Thank You Books\, we’re celebrating the launch of the speaker’s new book On Privacy: 20 Lessons to Live By. \nEveryone will receive: \n✅ A free privacy slide for their laptop   \n✅ Punchy no-nonsense language to explain why your privacy matters  \n✅ Easy\, real-world steps to better protect your data—without ditching your phone or laptop \n✅ A signed copy of the book (if you want to buy one there) \nDr. Lawrence Cappello is an award-winning professor of U.S. legal & constitutional history at the University of Alabama. He is the author of None of Your Damn Business: Privacy in the United States from the Gilded Age to the Digital Age and the newly released On Privacy: Twenty Lessons to Live By. His work on the right to privacy has appeared in The Wall Street Journal\, The Atlantic\, The Economist\, The Hill\, and other media outlets.

SUMMARY:Napoleon Dynamite: A Conversation with Jon Heder\, Efren Ramirez & Jon Gries
DESCRIPTION:This unique evening includes a full screening of Napoleon Dynamite followed by a lively\, freewheeling\, discussion with fan-favorite cast members; Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite)\, Jon Gries (Uncle Rico) and Efren Ramirez (Pedro). \nThe live show – perfect for the whole family — is a wild and hysterical blend of Q&A\, comedy improv\, game show\, and party\, with plenty of audience participation. Come join the fun and help celebrate this wonderful movie classic! \nThe beloved indie classic Napoleon Dynamite was released 20 years ago. Since then\, much has changed; but the characters\, as enduring as they are endearing\, stay in our hearts. \nAppealing to the inner-teenager in each of us\, the story\, and more importantly the dialogue\, makes Napoleon Dynamite one of the most quoted movies of our time. \nNapoleon Dynamite makes us laugh – and laugh hard – over and over again.

SUMMARY:Pregnant in Alabama: Poetry\, Storytelling\, and the Maternal Health Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Put on by the DiscourseBHAM Public Lecture Series. \nThe United States is in the midst of a maternal health crisis\, and Alabama is at its epicenter. The statistics are staggering—but numbers alone can’t tell the full story. Too often\, the voices of mothers\, the ones living this reality\, are left unheard. \nIn this powerful and thought-provoking talk\, social worker Dr. Haley Beech moves beyond the data\, using poetry to illuminate the personal experiences behind the numbers. Through verse and storytelling\, she invites us to listen—to truly hear—the stories that statistics can’t capture. This is more than a lecture; it’s an opportunity to engage with the lived realities of pregnant people in Alabama\, to reflect on the urgency of the crisis\, and to recognize the power of personal narratives in shaping change. Women have powerful stories to tell. We just need to be open to hearing them. \nDr. Haley Beech is an adjunct instructor at the University of Alabama Honors College. She earned her PhD in social work in 2023 and her Master’s in social work in 2013 from the University of Alabama. A licensed master social worker\, Haley provides perinatal mental health services at Taproot Therapy Collective. Her passion for this work is rooted in her lived experiences and the many untold stories of mothers’ trauma before\, during\, and after childbirth. Haley is a social worker\, feminist writer\, researcher\, poet\, mother\, partner\, and friend. She lives in Alabaster\, Alabama\, with her two children and miniature schnauzer.
