    Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson: ‘An Enigma Wrapped in a Whoopee Cushion’ (2019-11-07)
    (2019) Henderson, William; University of Minnesota Duluth. Royal D. Alworth, Jr. Institute for International Studies
    Who exactly is Boris Johnson? How is he best summed up as a political personality? Bumbling Boris, Biking Boris or Boris the ‘Brexit Beast’? Does he even have any defined and consistent political beliefs? Or are all these different, and carefully contrived, manifestations simply a convenient set of disguises for a ruthless personality driven solely by the desire to secure, and now attempt to keep, by a risky high-wire act, the post of Prime Minister? The timing of the talk means that, whilst maintaining a narrative format, it will, per force, adjust to or even be radically altered by a very fluid political environment.

    Art and Heritage in Urban Renewal: The Seaside Town of Folkestone, UK (2019-10-31)
    (2019) Henderson, William; University of Minnesota Duluth. Royal D. Alworth, Jr. Institute for International Studies; University of Minnesota Duluth. Office of Diversity and Inclusion
    Using the seaside town of Folkestone in the U.K., former Alworth Institute Director, Dr. Willie Henderson, will illustrate the connections amongst the Triennial Festival, the heritage of the Great War, and the successful establishment of a vibrant Creative Quarter, for the significant changes of perception of Folkestone, both within the town and nationally. The development of the once decayed Harbour area has something in common with the regeneration of Canal Park in Duluth, though the methods are different. Art works by international artists such as Yoko Ono, Spencer Finch, and Antony Gormley, remain as part of the legacy of previous Triennial Festivals.
