SUMMARY:Two Hillbillies and a Queered Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Miami Township Branch of the Dayton Public Library 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:The History of Travel in America
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Coshocton County District Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Mark Holbrook about the history of travel! \n\n\n\nNot so long ago few people traveled far from home. Vacations and travel for leisure were either unaffordable or impractical. The industrial age\, new technologies and shifting perspectives on work and leisure changed all of that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We’ll explore those changes and the impact a traveling population on or economy and culture. \n\n\n\nMark Holbrook is currently the executive director for the Marion Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. Prior to that\, Mark served as the marketing manager at the Ohio History Connection for nine years and has been a consultant for tourism and history-based organizations for 12 years. He is a native Ohioan\, graduate of The Ohio State University (BA in Communications) and an avid student of history. \n\n\n\nMark is the editor of the The Buckeye Vanguard about the 49th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Mark recently retired from a 20-year career as a Civil War reenactor\, serving as a Union officer throughout the country at such places as Gettysburg\, Chattanooga\, Richmond and Shiloh. Mark also served as military coordinator for the film Light of Freedom released in the fall of 2013 and had a supporting role in the 2015 film Wings of the Wind. Mark served on the Civil War Sesquicentennial Advisory Committee for the state of Ohio and has appeared in several television history-themed television programs. \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?

SUMMARY:The First Ohioans and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Upper Arlington Public Library Lane Road Branch for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Brad Lepper! \n\n\n\nHumans first entered the Ohio Valley sometime after 20\,000 years ago. These hardy American Indian pioneers adapted to the New World they found and\, over the succeeding millennia\, shaped many aspects of their environment. With the Industrial Revolution and the intensive burning of fossil fuels\, including Ohio’s rich coal deposits\, humans began to be active agents in changing the very climate of the Earth in ways that could prove to be disastrous for many species\, including our own. Can humans and the civilizations we have created find ways to adapt to these profound changes or possibly even undo the damage we have caused?  \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.

SUMMARY:Not Since Tecumseh: Darkness at Midday over the Ohio Country - Total Eclipse of the Sun - April 8\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Coshocton County District Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Tom O’Grady!  \n\n\n\nThe last time Ohio was witness to a total eclipse of the sun was on June 16\, 1806. The 1806 eclipse has gone down in history as Tecumseh’s Eclipse. Tecumseh was working to create a confederation of Native tribes to resist continued losses of land to the increased expansion of settlers in this formerly native territory. Future president and then military leader in the newly formed State of Ohio\, William Henry Harrison\, tried to stop him. In his efforts to discredit Tecumseh and his brother The Prophet\, Harrison publicly challenged the Shawnee leadership by calling upon them to prove this power daring them to “cause the Sun to stand still or the Moon to alter its course\, the rivers to cease to flow or the dead to rise from their graves.” Tecumseh used his knowledge of the approaching eclipse to reinforce the role of The Prophet and himself in the political dynamics unfolding in the newly formed region called the State of Ohio. \n\n\n\nHear about the dynamics causing solar eclipses and some of the history associated with this famous eclipse\, subsequent eclipse expeditions\, and a few stories about war and peace associated with this unique celestial phenomenon. O’Grady\, Astronomy Instructor at Ohio University since 1984\,  has chased the Moon’s shadow eight times to witness the appearance of distant stars and planets in the daytime\, to see the outer atmosphere of the sun\, and to observe the altered behavior of wild animals and livestock. This unique natural marvel\, which struck a fear and awe in early people causing some of them to build enormous earthworks with which to predict such events in the future\, will not occur again in Ohio skies until September 14\, 2099. \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.

DESCRIPTION:Come visit the South Dayton Church of Christ with the Springboro Area Historical Society for an Ohio Humanities Speakers’ Bureau event with Kimberly Hamlin! \n\n\n\nThis talk reveals the remarkable story of the “fallen woman” who became the “most potent factor” in Congressional passage of the 19th Amendment and the highest-ranking woman in federal government. After being outed in Ohio newspapers for having an affair with a married man\, Alice Chenoweth moved to New York City\, changed her name to Helen Hamilton Gardener\, and became one of the century’s most famous reformers. In 1910\, she settled in Washington\, D.C. right next to the Speaker of the House. Next\, she charmed her way into the Wilson White House and steered the 19 th Amendment through Congress. The year 2020 marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, and this presentation tells the larger story of the suffrage movement through the eyes of one of its most fascinating advocates. \n\n\n\nKimberly A. Hamlin is a historian specializing in women\, gender\, sex\, science\, and politics. A recent recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Public Scholar Award\, Hamlin regularly contributes to the Washington Post and other media outlets\, and she lectures widely on topics related to women and gender. Her latest book\, Free Thinker: Sex\, Suffrage\, and the Extraordinary Life of Helen Hamilton Gardener (2020)\, reveals the remarkable story of the “fallen woman” who changed her name\, reinvented herself\, and became the “most potent factor” in Congressional passage of the 19th Amendment as well as the highest-ranking woman in federal government. Hamlin is actively involved in local and national suffrage centennial activities including guest editing\, together with Cathleen Cahill and Crystal Feimster\, a special suffrage centennial issue of the Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. Hamlin’s previous book\, From Eve to Evolution: Darwin\, Science\, and Women’s Rights in Gilded Age America (2014)\, analyzes the U.S. reception of Darwin in terms of gender and provides the first full-length study of women’s responses to evolutionary theory. Hamlin has received the Carrie Chapman Catt Prize for Research on Women and Politics\, the Margaret Rossiter History of Women in Science Prize (from the History of Science Society)\, and the Emerging Scholar Award from the Nineteenth Century Studies Association\, in addition to research fellowships from the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium\, the Huntington Library\, the Sophia Smith Collection\, and others. Hamlin has also published on the origins of the Miss America Pageant\, the Girl Scouts\, bearded ladies\, women running for president\, and the Equal Rights Amendment. She has appeared on various public radio shows on both NPR and CBC and contributed to multiple PBS documentaries. Since 2007\, she has taught History and American Studies at Miami University in Oxford\, Ohio. She lives in Cincinnati where she co-hosts the Mercantile Library’s Allgood-McLean “Women You Should Know” Book Discussion Series.

SUMMARY:Not Since Tecumseh: Darkness at Midday over the Ohio Country - Total Eclipse of the Sun - April 8\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Tri-Rivers Career Center for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Tom O’Grady!  \n\n\n\nThe last time Ohio was witness to a total eclipse of the sun was on June 16\, 1806. The 1806 eclipse has gone down in history as Tecumseh’s Eclipse. Tecumseh was working to create a confederation of Native tribes to resist continued losses of land to the increased expansion of settlers in this formerly native territory. Future president and then military leader in the newly formed State of Ohio\, William Henry Harrison\, tried to stop him. In his efforts to discredit Tecumseh and his brother The Prophet\, Harrison publicly challenged the Shawnee leadership by calling upon them to prove this power daring them to “cause the Sun to stand still or the Moon to alter its course\, the rivers to cease to flow or the dead to rise from their graves.” Tecumseh used his knowledge of the approaching eclipse to reinforce the role of The Prophet and himself in the political dynamics unfolding in the newly formed region called the State of Ohio. \n\n\n\nHear about the dynamics causing solar eclipses and some of the history associated with this famous eclipse\, subsequent eclipse expeditions\, and a few stories about war and peace associated with this unique celestial phenomenon. O’Grady\, Astronomy Instructor at Ohio University since 1984\,  has chased the Moon’s shadow eight times to witness the appearance of distant stars and planets in the daytime\, to see the outer atmosphere of the sun\, and to observe the altered behavior of wild animals and livestock. This unique natural marvel\, which struck a fear and awe in early people causing some of them to build enormous earthworks with which to predict such events in the future\, will not occur again in Ohio skies until September 14\, 2099. \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?

SUMMARY:Pretty Funny: Women Comedians and Body Politics
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Columbus Metro Library’s Hilliard Branch with the National League of American Pen Women branch of Central Ohio for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Linda Mizejewski! \n\n\n\nGuest Speaker Linda Mizejewski is a Distinguished Professor of Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at The Ohio State University.

In 2004 she was a winner of Ohio State University’s Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award. \n\n\n\nWomen’s comedy has long been a prime spot for women to talk back and break taboos in mainstream popular culture. But women in comedy have traditionally been pegged as either “pretty” or “funny.” This talk is an overview of women’s comedy beginning with West and ending with the new generation of women comedians such as Tina Fey\, Wanda Sykes\, and Ellen DeGeneres who flout the pretty-versus-funny dynamic\, targeting glamour and in some cases making it clear that in popular culture\, “pretty” almost always means “white.” \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Serpent Mound — an Icon of Ancient Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Join the Richland County Genealogical Society online for a virtual Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Brad Lepper! \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.

SUMMARY:Frankenstein! Myth\, Monster\, and Popular Culture
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Upper Arlington Public 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:The Great Hopewell Road: Ohio’s Ancient Superhighway
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Cheers Chalet with the Fairfield County Heritage Association for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Brad Lepper! \n\n\n\nThe Great Hopewell Road was a set of parallel earthen walls built by the Hopewell people who lived in Ohio circa A.D. 1-  400. They began at the monumental Newark Earthworks and ran southwest in a remarkably straight line. The road’s ultimate destination is a mystery\, but it may have been a route of pilgrimage connecting the two grandest centers of the Hopewell world: the Newark Earthworks and the many Hopewell mounds and enclosures near Chillicothe-more than sixty miles away.

SUMMARY:Rebels in Corsets: The Embodied Rhetoric of the Women’s Suffrage Movement
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Columbus chapter of the Ohio Daughters of the American Revolution for an Ohio Humanities Speakers’ Bureau event with Susan Trollinger! \n\n\n\nThe story of the women’s suffrage movement is often told (even by US historians) as a peaceful transition by which white male politicians happily gave women the right to vote. This could not be further from the truth. The movement for women’s suffrage was a 72-year struggle that demanded a great deal from women emotionally\, politically\, and physically. This lecture looks at what it was like to be a woman in the 19th century with little power to change her circumstances because she did not have access to the ballot box\, how it was that women became convinced in the 1840s that it was time to take on that struggle\, and how they finally won it through rhetorical strategies that might not look radical to us now but then appeared so radical as to have been called “disgusting.” \n\n\n\nSusan Trollinger is professor of English at the University of Dayton where she teaches courses on writing and rhetoric. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her Master’s and PhD in Rhetoric and Communication from the University of Pittsburgh. Her first book\, Selling the Amish: The Tourism of Nostalgia (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2012)\, explores Amish Country tourism especially in eastern Ohio. In her more than ten years of research for the book\, she learned a great deal about Amish culture and its significance for all who are not Amish\, which she enjoys sharing with others. Her second book\, titled Righting America at the Creation Museum (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2016) and co-authored with her husband\, William Vance Trollinger\, Jr.\, provides a close reading of the arguments and appeals at the Creation Museum in Petersburg\, Kentucky as well as situates those arguments and appeals within the long history of Protestant fundamentalism in the US. She has been interviewed in a number of media outlets including CSpan-2’s BookTV\, RadioWest\, the Washington Post\, and GQ.

SUMMARY:The Newark Earthworks: One of the World's Ancient Wonders
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Rowfant Club for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Brad Lepper! \n\n\n\nThe Newark Earthworks are the largest set of geometric enclosures and mounds in the world. The work of the Hopewell people who lived in Ohio circa A.D. 1-  400\, these geometric earthworks covered nearly five square miles\, using more than seven million cubic feet of earth. Why did the Hopewell build such monumental works? Were they prehistoric forts or ancient American cathedrals? \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.

SUMMARY:For their Own Cause
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Spring Hill Historic Home for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Kelly Mezurek! \n\n\n\nDr. Mezurek will be discussing her book\, For their Own Cause: The 27th United States Colored Troops (The Kent State University Press\, 2016)\, which explores the story of the 27th USCT in the Civil War.  From the inside cover: “The men faced daily battles against racism and against inferior treatment\, training\, and supplies. They suffered from the physical difficulties of military life\, the horrors of warfare\, and homesickness and worried about loved ones left at home without financial support. Yet their contributions provided a tool that allowed blacks with little military experience\, and their families\, to demand social acceptance and acknowledgment of their citizenship.” \n\n\n\nKelly D. Mezurek is a professor of history at Walsh University\, where she teaches United States history. Her book\, For their Own Cause: The 27th United States Colored Troops (The Kent State University Press\, 2016)\, is a 2017 Ohioana Book Award Finalist in nonfiction. Mezurek has also published “‘The Colored Veteran Soldiers Should Receive the Same Tender Care’: Soldiers’ Homes\, Race\, and the Post-Civil War Midwest” in The War Went On: Reconsidering the Lives of Civil War Veterans and “‘De Bottom Rails on Top Now’: Black Union Guards and Confederate Prisoners of War\,” in Crossing the Deadlines: Civil War Prisons Reconsidered. Mezurek is a past executive board member of the Ohio Academy of History\, and was a representative on the Ohio Civil War 150 Advisory Committee.

SUMMARY:Bending to the Color Line: The Fight For Women’s Suffrage in Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Dayton Metro Library’s Brookville Branch for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Carol Lasser! \n\n\n\nIn the final years of the suffrage struggle\, Ohio women’s efforts to gain the vote took place in a national movement that accepted the regional disenfranchisement of African Americans as part of a bargain to overcome Southern resistance.  Yet in Ohio\, the opposition from organized liquor interests brought Black and white suffragists together. The story of these complex relationships helps us think about how race\, region\, and special interests shape alliances and access to the vote. \n\n\n\nCarol is an Emerita Professor of History at Oberlin College and has focused her work on women\, gender and race in American history. She is the author of Antebellum American Women (with Stacey Robertson\, 2010); Friends and Sisters:  Letters Between Lucy Stone and Antoinette Brown Blackwell\, 1846-1893\, (with Marlene Merrill\, 1987) and Educating Men and Women Together: Coeducation in a Changing World  (1987).

SUMMARY:The Barnbuilders: An Architectural Legacy in Ohio’s Rural Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Upper Arlington Public Library 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.
