Jason Arnett

Manager, Food Court and Coffee Bars

Living in the hills of eastern Kansas allows me to set stories in the plains of the

fantastic. I mostly write science fiction adventures but dabble in other genres,

too.

I've played in bar bands and written and drawn my own mini comics. When I

was told that I was hurting my stories by trying to draw them, I turned to

writing prose and haven't looked back once. I combine my love and

knowledge of music, comics, and stories into my writing.

Tai S. Edwards

Associate Professor of History

Tai S. Edwards – Associate Professor of History (Ph.D. University of Kansas,

M.A. George Mason University, B.S. University of Kansas) and Director of

JCCC’s Kansas Studies Institute. Dr. Edwards’ research interests include North

American colonization, U.S. imperialism, Indigenous peoples, gender, and

environmental history. Her book, Osage Women and Empire: Gender and

Power (University Press of Kansas, 2018) examined how Osage gender

complementarity was central to the rise of an Osage “empire” in the 18th

century and in resisting U.S. colonization in the 19th century. Her recent Edgar

Langsdorf Award-winning article, “Disruption and Disease: The Osage

Struggle to Survive in the Nineteenth-Century Trans-Missouri West,”

demonstrated how U.S. federal policy and settler invasion produced the

disruptions necessary for epidemic disease to decimate the Osage population

(see Kansas History, vol. 36, no. 4, Winter 2013/2014). Along with Paul

Kelton, she has an article, “Germs, Genocides, and America’s Indigenous

Peoples” in press with the Journal of American History and she has contributed

a chapter, “The ‘Virgin’ Soil Thesis Cover-Up: Teaching Indigenous

Demographic Collapse” in Understanding and Teaching Native American

History, Kristofer Ray and Brady DeSanti, eds. (in progress with University of

Wisconsin Press). She has also received the JCCC’s BNSF Railway Faculty

Achievement Award (2018), College Scholar (2018), and Publication Award

Pennsylvania and has been drunk in numerous countries in South America and

Europe, proving you can take the boy out of the plains but not the plains out

of the boy. His job resume includes stints in warehouses, at liquor stores, at

record stores, with roofing and road construction crews, at the Museum of Fine

Arts, Houston (night security--educational if you're paying attention but nothing

sexy), and in a graveyard, all of which have, in their own peculiar ways,

prepared him for his current gig at JCCC. And he writes.
