Genderations Luncheon with Dr. Amy Brausch (Psych Sciences)

Lunch 12:00 – 12:15. Lecture: 12:15 – 1:00
The catered lunch portion of the event will require an RSVP. Please contact marla.zubel@wku.edu.

Dr. Brausch's research interests fall under the broad category of adolescent and young adult self-harm and risk-taking behaviors. She studies risk and protective factors for suicide, as well as non-suicidal self-injury. She is especially interested in the role of the body in self-harm, and how factors such as body image, body protection, and body attitudes are related to an individual’s propensity to inflict harm on oneself. Other research has investigated the overlap between self-injury and risk-taking behaviors such as substance use, unhealthy eating and exercise habits, and self-asphyxial behaviors (known commonly among adolescents as “the choking game”). As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Brausch is also interested in the assessment, treatment, and prevention of suicide, non-suicidal self-injury, and eating disorders.

Panel discussion with moderator Dr. Andrew Rosa, Associate Professor, History, WKU; Dr. Jeffrey Budziak, Assistant Dean, Political Science; Dr. Sophia Arjana, Associate Professor, History and Dr. Amy Cappiccie, Professor, Social Work.

To most people, jazz funerals are a mystery.

In 2005, writer and videographer Deb Cotton leaves “hard-hearted Hollywood” for New Orleans, and becomes a chronicler of the parading club culture spawned by the legacy of funerals with music. This tradition is carried by the prolific clarinetist Michael White, renowned for playing “the widow’s wail” in sorrowful dirges. When Hurricane Katrina hits, White loses everything in the catastrophic flooding. In his struggle to rebuild, White becomes an everyman, embodying the resurrection spirit of jazz funerals.

Deb and Michael take us on a journey into the city’s past, searching for answers in the face of tragedies both present and past.

As Deb follows the parading culture through the aching recovery, Michael explores his ancestral roots in the dawn of jazz. The danced-memory of enslaved Africans charges a reimagining of antebellum Congo Square, juxtaposed with the grandeur of European marching bands. With burial pageants as a mirror on the city’s history, the film hits a violent turning point at a parade shooting, plunging Deb and Michael into a search for the city’s soul.

Free tickets are available at capitolbg.org. After the screening, a Q&A with filmmakers will be offered.
