 About the book: Released on the occasion of Bruce Springsteen’s seventieth birthday, Long Walk Home: Reflections on Bruce Springsteen offers the first exploration of the legacy of a musical and cultural icon. This collection features essays from musicians, authors, academics, and music critics, all of whom answered a seemingly simple question: “Why Springsteen?” Each contributor considered what attracted—and continues to attract—them to Springsteen and the ways they have been moved, shaped, and challenged by his music. Rather than another biographical survey of Springsteen’s legendary career, Long Walk Home studies how Springsteen has influenced American and international culture over the last fifty years and how fans have incorporated his music into their lives. The collection features a range of essays and readers will: find new stories about Springsteen from those who have worked with him, learn about his place in the canon of American singer-songwriters, and see themselves reflected in personal stories of growth up with Springsteen’s music. Springsteen’s work has meant lots of things to lots of different fans. These essays offer insight into how members of Springsteen’s audience have incorporated his music into their lives as well as how his work has shaped the arts over the last four decades. Long Walk Home offers the first assessment of Springsteen’s legacy, and it provides a new perspective on one of rock’s biggest and most important icons.

Reception and book signing following the lecture at 7:45 p.m., Paragon Art Gallery, 815 N Killingsworth St., Portland, Ore. Books will be available for purchase for $24.95. Admission is free and the public is welcome.

Theme: Sport Sociology and the Responsibility for Decolonial Praxis
Decolonizing Minds, Indigenizing Hearts

Sport in western nation-states has been central to the interlinked projects of imperialism and capitalism. In this sense, sport is part of a spatial and material project of economic development built upon stolen lands, with stolen labor. Similarly, the academy is a key institution in the production of imperialist and capitalist knowledge and expertise.

Please join us to celebrate the publication of Dr. Gupta’s new book. We’ll have a reception, book signing, and reading from the author!

The study of higher education is decades old. In 1976 the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) emerged from the now defunct American Association for Higher Education to become a location for scholars studying the postsecondary ecosystem in which they worked and the people who populated it. At the 2019 ASHE Annual Conference, more than 1,500 faculty, students, researchers, scholars, and practitioners will come together to consider this year's theme: The Will to Reimagine the Study of Higher Education.

The National Women's Studies Association is hosting their 2019 annual conference from November 14-17 in San Francisco at the Hilton Union Square. The theme: Protest, Justice, and Transnational Organizing speaks to the historic moment in which we live and the new world that we want to create.
