SUMMARY:Looking Back at Being Black in Rural Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Join the Warren Branch of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Ric Sheffield about his experience growing up Black in rural Oho. \n\n\n\nThis program presents a glimpse into the Black experience in small town America as reflected in Sheffield’s book “We Got By: A Black Family’s Journey in the Heartland.” With actual and projected increases in the number of people of color taking up residence in rural America\, it would be wise for small towns to better understand the factors that have impacted minority communities within them as well as the challenges of people who have lived in communities where few others looked like them. This program works well as a book talk as well as broader discussion of rural diversity. \n\n\n\nRic Sheffield is Professor Emeritus of Legal Studies and Sociology at Kenyon College. In addition to having served as Associate Provost of the College\, he is the Director of Kenyon’s Law & Society Program and the John Adams Summer Scholars Program in Socio-legal Studies. His research has focused upon the relationship between law and issues of gender\, race\, and ethnicity. He has lectured widely on issued of race and law as well as African Americans in rural Ohio. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:The Burning Tree Mastodon and Ohio's Ice Age
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Tremont Rd. Branch of the Upper Arlington Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Brad Lepper about the mastodon discovery that sparked a knowledge revolution. \n\n\n\nThe 1989 discovery of this giant\, ancient elephant-like creature opened an unprecedented window onto Ohio’s Ice Age. Archaeologists\, biologists\, and geologists studied the mastodon’s nearly complete remains (including its last meal) and other Ice Age animals and plants. This presentation will describe their findings and address the question of whether ancient human hunters or environmental changes drove mastodons into extinction. \n\n\n\nBrad Lepper is the Senior Archaeologist for the Ohio History Connection’s World Heritage Program. In addition\, he has occasionally been a Visiting Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Denison University. His primary areas of interest include North America’s Ice Age peoples\, Ohio’s magnificent mounds and earthworks\, and the history of Archaeology. Noteworthy research includes excavation of the Burning Tree mastodon and discovery of the Great Hopewell Road\, featured in a documentary that was first broadcast on PBS in 1998. \n\n\n\nPlease register ahead of time here! \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Visions of the New Nation in the Northwest Territory
DESCRIPTION:Come visit Muskingum County History for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Brandon Downing about how the Northwest Territory shaped the development of early America! \n\n\n\nThis talk examines Marietta as a cultural heritage site that serves a crucial role in redefining American collective history by reconstructing a national identity based on the Northwest Ordinance\, one of the most important\, progressive\, and far-reaching legislative acts in American history. By using the interlinked aspects of place\, Marietta’s importance as the “first organized settlement of the Northwest Territory” illustrates how it became the birthplace of equality through the preservation of the public domain. This is in contrast with the myth of freedom and independence of a seemingly limitless land. The lessons learned from Marietta as “place\,” then\, expands the American narrative by challenging our understanding of territorial expansion within the United States in the early nineteenth century. \n\n\n\nBrandon C. Downing is an Assistant Professor of History at Marietta College. He teaches early American history classes in Native and Colonial America\, the American Revolutionary War\, and in Public History. His primary interests are Native-White interactions in the Ohio Valley\, the War of 1812\, and the history of Marietta\, OH. He is currently working on a project titled\, “Performative Violence as Political Discourse: Delawares during the Seven Years’ War\, 1755-1758\,” which provides a Native perspective on the Penns Creek and Great Cove Massacres in Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:From the Nuremberg Laws to the Night of Broken Glass: Race\, Law\, and the Foundations of the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Marvin Memorial Church for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Barry Jackisch about the history that led up to Night of Broken Glass. \n\n\n\nThis presentation explores the increasing persecution of Jews and other targeted groups in Nazi Germany. Far from a random process\, this persecution developed with the entire weight of the German state and legal system. Outsiders soon became legally excluded from German society on the basis of overt racial discrimination. This legal segregation allowed systematic violence against Jews and other groups in the Nazi regime\, culminating in the nightmare of the Holocaust. \n\n\n\nBarry Jackisch is an associate professor at the University of Toledo and Director of UToledo’s Roger Ray Institute for the Humanities. He received his Ph.D. in history from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo in 2000. He is an historian of modern central and eastern Europe with research interests (including one book and multiple articles) related to democracy\, fascism\, and communism in the mid-20th century. At UToledo\, he teaches courses in modern German and Russian history\, war and revolution in Europe\, the age of world wars\, the contemporary world\, and the history of the Holocaust and comparative genocide. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Two Hillbillies and a Queered Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the University of Akron Sociology Department for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with LuSter Singelton and Julia Applegate! \n\n\n\nJoin Julia Applegate and LuSter P. Singleton in an audience-driven conversation about growing up in the ‘hills and hollows’ of southern and southeastern Ohio while trying to sort out questions of sexuality\, sexual identity\, and gender. These topics are further complicated by race\, class\, and higher education. Their candor and willingness to be vulnerable while sharing their truths is a unique opportunity to gain insight into Appalachian Ohio\, a community rarely valued for its insight\, commentary\, or contributions. \n\n\n\nJulia M. Applegate\, MA\, MPH is an HIV and LGBTQ+ health advocate\, researcher\, and administrator who has taught Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies classes at Ohio State\, Wright State University\, and Ohio University since 1996. Presently\, she is directing and producing an Ohio Humanities-supported documentary film project that tells the story of Ohio’s longest running lesbian bar.  \n\n\n\nLuSter is a Zanesville native fascinated by the intersections of ‘isms’ and how they inform and instruct positive perceptions of faith and gender in our daily lives. They are a community leader and creator of queer programming\, educational series\, presenter-led-discussions and more. Currently\, they are co-directing an Ohio Humanities-supported documentary film project that tells the story of Ohio’s longest running lesbian bar.  \n\n\n\nThis event is a part of Ohio Humanities’ United We Stand initiative. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Terrorizing Immigrants and Catholics: The Ohio Ku Klux Klan in the 1920's
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Campus Martius Museum in Marietta for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with William Trollinger about the influence of the Ku Klux Klan in Ohio in the 1920’s. \n\n\n\nHaving virtually disappeared in the late nineteenth century\, the Ku Klux Klan exploded onto the national in the early 1920s\, with perhaps five million members at its peak. While the original Klan concentrated its animus against the newly freed slaves\, this “second” KKK had an expanded list of social scapegoats that included immigrants\, Jews\, and Catholics. While the original Klan was based primarily in the South\, the second Klan had its greatest numerical strength in the West and Midwest. In fact\, Ohio may have had more KKK members than any other state in the Union\, with an estimated 400\,000 Klansmen and Klanswomen. In this presentation we will explore why the Klan was so strong in Ohio\, what activities the Ohio Klan engaged in\, and in what ways the folks targeted by the Klan fought back. \n\n\n\nWilliam Trollinger is professor of history in the History and Religious Studies Departments at the University of Dayton. He is also director of UD’s Core Integrated Studies Program\, which features an innovative\, five-semester interdisciplinary curriculum. He earned his B.A. in English and History from Bethel College (MN) and his M.A. and Ph.D. in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research has focused on 20th/21st-century American Protestantism\, particularly fundamentalism\, creationism\, and Protestant print culture. His publications include God’s Empire: William Bell Riley and Midwestern Fundamentalism (University of Wisconsin Press\, 1990) and Righting America at the Creation Museum (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2016)\, the latter which he co-authored with his wife\, Susan Trollinger. He has also done a good deal of research on the Ku Klux Klan in Ohio in the 1920s; one result of this work is “Hearing the Silence: The University of Dayton\, the Ku Klux Klan\, and Catholic Universities and Colleges” (American Catholic Studies\, Spring 2013)\, for which he won the 2014 Catholic Press Award for Best Essay in a Scholarly Magazine. He enjoys speaking on the 1920s Ohio Ku Klux Klan. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau? Check out speakers and topics here. \n\n\n\nWant to see other Ohio Humanities events?

SUMMARY:Statues\, Flags\, and the Ongoing Battle over the Meaning of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the South Dayton Church of Christ with the Springboro Area Historical Society for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with William Trollinger about how statues are used to interpret the history of the Civil War! \n\n\n\nThe 2015 mass shooting in Charleston and now the recent events in Charlottesville have added fuel to the intense and sometimes heated debate in contemporary America about Confederate monuments and flags. What sometimes gets lost in this debate is that monuments and flags are not history themselves\, but are commemorations of a particular interpretation of history. This is particularly true in this case. Most Confederate monuments were not constructed in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War\, but\, instead\, were put up as part of the effort to create a “Jim Crow” South that rendered African Americans politically invisible and powerless. And the revival of Confederate flags was part and parcel of the mid-twentieth-century white resistance to the Civil Rights movement. In effect\, the Confederate monuments and flags – and the fierce defense of both – are manifestations of the fact that the South lost the Civil War but won the writing of history. And the current opposition to Confederate monuments and flags grows out of a very deep desire to tell a new and more accurate story about our past. \n\n\n\nWilliam Trollinger is professor of history in the History and Religious Studies Departments at the University of Dayton. He is also director of UD’s Core Integrated Studies Program\, which features an innovative\, five-semester interdisciplinary curriculum. He earned his B.A. in English and History from Bethel College (MN) and his M.A. and Ph.D. in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

SUMMARY:The Anti-Apartheid Movement in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Come visit Bristol Village for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Zeb Larson! Larson will speak about the anti-apartheid movement as it appeared in the United States. \n\n\n\nActivists today look back on the anti-apartheid movement as an inspiration\, ranging from climate change activists to the BDS Movement. The movement had humble beginnings; how did it take off so successfully? This talk will focus on the growth of anti-apartheid activism\, the different reasons Americans responded to it so strongly\, and what lessons it can offer us today. \n\n\n\nZeb Larson is a writer\, historian\, and software developer in Columbus. He graduated from The Ohio State University with a PhD in History in 2019. His research focused on the anti-apartheid movement in the United States and the passage of sanctions against South Africa.

SUMMARY:Rhetoric of the Rainbow: Living Between the Gay Movement and Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the University of Akron’s Sociology Club for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with LuSter Singleton! LuSter will discuss the intersections and departures of both the gay and Civil Rights Movement. \n\n\n\nIn the early 2000s\, LuSter disclosed their long-time struggle with finding a place of belonging within the so-called “gay movement” and the civil rights movement. With both having supported or encouraged notions of gender binaries\, misogyny\, transphobia\, and racial fetishization\, Singleton found it difficult to get fully ‘settled’ in either camp. Singleton shares this history to engage discussions on cancel culture\, Black Lives Matter\, and disappearing lesbian visibility and asks whether history is repeating itself. \n\n\n\nThis event is a part of Ohio Humanities’ United We Stand initiative. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:From Mrs. Satan to Madame Speaker:  150 Years of Ohio Women Running for Public Office
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Silver Lake Historical Society in Silver Lake for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Barbara Palmer! Dr. Palmer will discuss the fascinating history of Ohio women running for public office. \n\n\n\nIn 1872\, Victoria Woodhull\, an Ohio native\, was the first woman to ever run for president. In the early 20th century\, Ohio was one of the first states to ratify the 19th Amendment. In 1922\, six women were elected to the state legislature\, and Florence Allen was the first woman to ever be elected to a state supreme court in the nation.  \n\n\n\nOne hundred years later\, Ohio has never elected a woman to the US Senate or as governor. The 2022 election was the first time in 10 years that the number of women serving from Ohio in the US House increased. The number of women serving in the Ohio Statehouse is stalling.  The proportion of female candidates for local offices has been flat for a decade. \n\n\n\nOver the past century\, we can see a great deal of change in women’s representation in public office; Ohio can claim some remarkable “famous firsts.” Ohio is represented by an increasingly diverse group of women. But some things have remained stubbornly the same. The pool of political candidates is still overwhelmingly male. What are the challenges—and opportunities—that women candidates face? \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Serpent Mound — an Icon of Ancient Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Join the Firelands Archeological Research Center at the Ritter Public Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Brad Lepper! Lepper will talk about the fascinating archeology and history of the Serpent Mound. \n\n\n\nSerpent Mound in Adams County is one of the largest and most spectacular earthen sculptures in the world. The age of the serpent is a subject of current debate with some archaeologists arguing that it was built by the Adena culture at around 300 B.C.E. and others favoring the Fort Ancient culture at around 1100 C.E. Although much about Serpent Mound still is shrouded in mystery\, ancient cave paintings in Missouri may provide a key to unlocking some of its secrets. \n\n\n\nBrad Lepper is the Senior Archaeologist for the Ohio History Connection’s World Heritage Program. In addition\, he has occasionally been a Visiting Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Denison University. His primary areas of interest include North America’s Ice Age peoples\, Ohio’s magnificent mounds and earthworks\, and the history of Archaeology. Noteworthy research includes excavation of the Burning Tree mastodon and discovery of the Great Hopewell Road\, featured in a documentary that was first broadcast on PBS in 1998. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Frankenstein! Myth\, Monster\, and Popular Culture
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Liberty Branch of the Delaware County Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Linda Mizejewski! \n\n\n\nMary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein towers over Western literature as one of the most influential novels ever written and science’s most enduring myth.  Technologies of artificial intelligence\, laboratory fertilization\, cloning\, and titanium body parts make Shelley’s monster more relevant with each passing decade. Frankenstein also launched the horror and science fiction genres that have dominated popular culture for two centuries\, developing into the monster-in-the-house tradition of Psycho and serial-killer movies. This presentation explores the richness of the Frankenstein tradition in film and literature\, the gendered implications of the motherless monster\, and the social and psychological meanings of the monster who will not die. \n\n\n\nLinda Mizejewski is a Distinguished Professor of Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at the Ohio State University. She has published six books on women in popular culture\, including a book about the romantic comedy It Happened One Night. In her 2002 book Hardboiled and High Heeled: the Woman Detective in Popular Culture\,she analyzes the female investigator character in cinema\, television\, and best-selling novels.  Her most recent two books are Hysterical! Women in American Comedy (2017) and Pretty/Funny: Women Comedians and Body Politics (2014).  Linda has been a Fulbright Lecturer in Slovakia and Romania\, and her research has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies. In 2004 she was a winner of Ohio State University’s Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award.

SUMMARY:Rhetoric of the Rainbow: Living Between the Gay Movement and Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:Come visit Elizabeth’s Bookshop and Writing Centre for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with LuSter Singleton! LuSter will discuss the intersections and departures of both the gay and Civil Rights Movement. \n\n\n\nIn the early 2000s\, LuSter disclosed their long-time struggle with finding a place of belonging within the so-called “gay movement” and the civil rights movement. With both having supported or encouraged notions of gender binaries\, misogyny\, transphobia\, and racial fetishization\, Singleton found it difficult to get fully ‘settled’ in either camp. Singleton shares this history to engage discussions on cancel culture\, Black Lives Matter\, and disappearing lesbian visibility and asks whether history is repeating itself. \n\n\n\nThis event is a part of Ohio Humanities’ United We Stand initiative. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:The Barnbuilders: An Architectural Legacy in Ohio’s Rural Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Crown Point Ecology Center with the Bath Township Historical Society for an Ohio Humanities Speakers’ Bureau event with Tom O’Grady! \n\n\n\nCulture groups migrating from New England\, Middle Atlantic states and from the South settled in various regions of Ohio\, and their distinct farms and barns can be observed when travelling throughout the state. The barn builders have left an architectural legacy throughout rural Ohio that can help one understand much about the heritage of the region. The geographic distribution of the various barn types is due to routes followed into the state\, geographical influences\, or cultural affinities. In any case\, one can identify regions settled by people of Pennsylvania German descent\, those settled by migrants from the upland south\, or those migrating to Ohio from New England by the type of barns and other buildings on farmsteads remaining on Ohio byways. These artifacts of timber frame construction house the remnants of Ohio’s primeval forests. \n\n\n\nTom O’Grady sailed as a deck worker on an ore carrier on the Great Lakes aboard a sister-ship of the fated Edmund Fitzgerald\, surveyed for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources\, launched the first comprehensive curbside recycling program in the state of Ohio and has been promoting waste reduction and sustainable economy for thirty years. O’Grady has also been an instructor of Observational Astronomy in the evenings at Ohio University for thirty years. He has spent a good deal of the past twenty-five years as a student of Ohio history researching its geography and settlement\, the mound builders\, Ohio canals\, and several of its interesting characters and their stories. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?
