A panel discussion on food justice will take place on January 20 at 4:30 p.m. in the King’s Dining Room in Buntrock Commons. The event will feature panelists J. DeVon Nolen, Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin, and a representative from Sharing Our Roots. Dinner will be provided by Bon Appétit. RSVP here.
J. DeVon Nolen – Nolen serves as a Community Engagement Consultant for Minneapolis Climate Action, bringing 27 years of experience in effective community engagement. As a member of the founding cohort for the Environmental Justice Coordinating Council (EJCC) with the Public Policy Project, Nolen quickly learned what it meant to live, work, play and worship in an environmentally overburdened community. Nolen’s work is about closing the gap in access to information and understanding where residents can be a part of change for the future. Nolan is excited to be a bridge for transformational change that guides people to become green, sustainable and self- reliant communities.
Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin – Haslett-Marroquin, founder of the Regenerative Agriculture Alliance and author of In the Shadow of Green Man, leads the movement for developing innovative poultry-centered regenerative agriculture systems around the world. When he teaches, he is building the Salvatierra Farm in Minneapolis, which focuses on the development of multi-level strategies for building triple bottom-line regenerative food and agriculture systems. He currently oversees system implementation in the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia. He graduated from the Central National School of Agriculture, and studied at the Universidad de San Carlos in Guatemala. He is also a graduate of Augsburg College in Minneapolis.
Sharing Our Roots – This organization works at the intersection of land justice, food security, and conservation. Sharing Our Roots envisions a world where food and agriculture systems are profitable for farmers, fair to workers, beneficial to consumer health, restorative for rural communities, and regenerative for the environment. On 100+ acres of previously degraded farmland in Dakota County, immigrant, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and emerging farmers and community gardeners work together to produce nourishing food and restore ecosystem health.

Moving beyond the iconic “I Have a Dream” speech, this presentation reveals how intersectionality shaped the movement for social justice.

About the Book
One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century
It is 1998, the year in which America is whipped into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president, and in a small New England town, an aging classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues decree that he is a racist. The charge is a lie, but the real truth about Silk would have astonished even his most virulent accuser.
Coleman Silk has a secret, one which has been kept for fifty years from his wife, his four children, his colleagues, and his friends, including the writer Nathan Zuckerman. It is Zuckerman who stumbles upon Silk’s secret and sets out to reconstruct the unknown biography of this eminent, upright man, esteemed as an educator for nearly all his life, and to understand how this ingeniously contrived life came unraveled. And to understand also how Silk’s astonishing private history is, in the words of The Wall Street Journal, “magnificently” interwoven with “the larger public history of modern America.”

Zoom meeting details will be provided via email after registration.
Questions: Michele Foss ’97
Please note that the St. Olaf Virtual Book Club is a volunteer-led initiative. The gatherings are designed to be casual and social, with conversations flowing organically from the attendees.

Let's Talk: Collection Conversations
2026-02-13 - 2026-04-12 | Center for Art and Dance Flaten Museum
All are welcome to visit Let’s Talk: Collection Conversations, an exhibition that emerges from a semester-long collaboration between students in Making Museums Matter (ARTH 282) and the Flaten Art Museum. At its core is a deceptively simple question: What happens when a museum is treated as a place for conversations rather than conclusions?
The exhibition highlights five new acquisitions that serve as catalysts for inquiry rather than fixed narratives. Building from these works, students developed themes that invite dialogue, contrast, and curiosity. The adjacent “living room” space offers room for personal reflection. Let’s Talk: Collection Conversations welcomes visitors into a museum shaped by shared conversations where meaning is sparked by both dialogue and observation.
