Localist Shortcode

This shortcode ties into events.wfu.edu our localist events website and displays events based on the attributes on the shortcode. Many of our websites use this plugin to display events related to the content of that website. We also offer our University Events block for a more integrated look and feel.

UPDATE: Looks like the natural display for each of these seems off in our new theme. We should check to make sure all the css is being loaded for these and that there isn’t any non-secure styles/scripts. Also images are broken in the API shortcode so we probably need to ensure we are using https for these.

Shortcode: Localist Widget

The Localist widget shortcode ties into the basic widget building functionality localist provides. It comes wrapped with html and has very little ability to change the html structure.

Shortcode

[ wfu_localist_widget num=10 days=30 ]

Shortcode: Localist API

The Localist API shortcode has more parameters and can return a more custom set of events returned in json format allowing the html display of the events to be controlled on our end.

Shortcode

[ wfu_localist_api pp=10 days=30 ] or [ wfu_localist_api num=10 days=30 ]

Exhibit: Photos of a Moving Self: How Gender Shifted During the Pandemic

Gender includes the way we think about ourselves, how we present ourselves to others, the roles we take on, and more. Gender matters for our health, our work, or relationships with others, and for many of us, nearly every aspect of our lives. In the summer of 2022, a research team led by Dr. Jessamyn Moxie, faculty in public health at UNC-Charlotte, asked 25 adults in North Carolina to submit 5 photos about how their gender had shifted during the pandemic. The team then interviewed the subjects about their photographs. This exhibit presents the photos and corresponding text from their interviews.

Fields of Fortune: North Carolina’s Legacy in Leaf and Labor

Tobacco has played a significant role in shaping North Carolina’s cultural, economic, and social identity, even before the state’s official establishment. Early depictions of Native American communities along the coast at the end of the 16th century show cultivation and use of the plant.

During the 19th century, tobacco became a cornerstone of the plantation economy, generating immense wealth for select families. In the 20th century, the rise of mass production and commercialization, along with an expanding labor force dedicated to its cultivation and processing, further embedded tobacco in North Carolina’s way of life. Marketing campaigns and iconic imagery tied to tobacco are deeply woven into the state’s historical narrative.

This exhibit showcases images, artifacts, and records from Special Collections & Archives, spanning from the sixteenth century to the modern era. It also features contributions from North Carolina artists and photographers, including Daisha Bunn and Erin Kye and their families, as well as works by photographer Dan Routh.

Poems Made to Wear: Traditional Colors in East Asia Exhibit

Colors have many symbolic meanings in East Asian fashion. This exhibit features clothing from China and Japan organized by the five basic colors of black, red, green-blue, white, and yellow. These colors are traditionally associated with the elements of water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, respectively. Originating in the mythical past, color symbolism was popularized throughout East Asia with the spread of religious and philosophical ideas. Just as the elements were thought to combine into more complex materials, colors could be combined into complex poetic expressions. Visitors can explore these connections between color, nature, and fashion in this student-curated exhibit.

Mock Honor Council Hearing

The hearing would include the solicitor and counsel for the respondent engaging in a mock hearing of a student who violated the honor code with a witness/exhibit. The hearing would be about 20 minutes, and the deliberation would be 15 minutes with room for intros and room on the back end for more open deliberations and questions. We hope to demonstrate what the solicitor’s and counsel for the respondent roles are, given that Jacob and Dick are 3L’s, those positions will be open come election time, and the counsels for respondent may wish to run for other positions and leave their roles potentially open as well. Lastly, we want to continue our shared goal of being approachable to students by inviting them to see that we are both competent and passionate about being on Honor Council. As a result, we hope that students become more willing to confide in us over code violations and familiarize themselves with representatives.
