SUMMARY:The Newark Earthworks: One of the World's Ancient Wonders
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Powell Liberty Historical Society 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. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Not Since Tecumseh: Darkness at Midday over the Ohio Country - Total Eclipse of the Sun - April 8\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the St. Paul United Church of Christ with the Auglaize County Historical Society 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. 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. \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. 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 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.

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: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.

SUMMARY:The Tedious March
DESCRIPTION:A light-hearted talk about the travel narratives of John May’s journey to the Ohio Country. In comparing the modern-day luxuries of travel to the difficulties of nineteenth-century travel\, this talk provides perspective on what settlers had to overcome in order to make it to their destination. Listeners will receive insight about what it was like to meet new people in a foreign land\, opinions on interesting food choices\, less than conventional accommodations\, and the otherworldly adventures of John May. After all\, John May never had to book an airline ticket\, pay for an expensive hotel room\, or deal with long lines at a theme park. Did May\, however\, have the same aspirations for travel as we do in the modern world? This talk will cover all this and more. \n\n\n\nDr. Downing earned his BA and MS in History from Slippery Rock University\, and his PhD from the University of Cincinnati.  He is an Assistant Professor of History at Marietta College. \n\n\n\nThis is an Ohio Humanities Speakers’ Bureau Event.

SUMMARY:Letters From Home: Ohioans & Their Wartime Correspondence
DESCRIPTION:Attend the “Letters from Home: Ohioans & Their Wartime Correspondence” program at the Local History Center on Monday\, May 15th at 5pm. Speaker Kelly D. Mezurek will talk on how letters served as the main source of communications between soldiers\, nurses\, and other military support personnel and their communities during the American wars of the 18th through mid-20th centuries. This program illuminates how private wartime letters provide insight into the personal\, lived experiences of Ohioans from the earliest days of statehood to the Vietnam War\, and how\, through their own words\, we might better understand the transformative nature of war on American society\, and how society reacted to and affected U.S. military actions. \n\n\n\nKelly D.

SUMMARY:Serpent Mound — an Icon of Ancient Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Serpent 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\nThis is an Ohio Humanities Speakers Bureau event.

SUMMARY:The Newark “Holy Stones”: Science\, Politics\, and Religion in 19th Century Ohio
DESCRIPTION: The Auglaize County Historical Society will present The Newark “Holy Stones”: Science\, Politics\, and Religion in 19th Century Ohio with Bradley Lepper as a Facebook Live event on Thursday\, Jan. 26\, at 7 p.m. The program is free and open to the public\, and is made possible by the Ohio Humanities Council’s Speakers Bureau. \n\n\n\nThe “Holy Stones” are a series of carved and polished stones bearing Hebrew inscriptions\, said to have been found in the ancient mounds near Newark\, Ohio in the 1860s. They were seized upon by those who believed “savage” Indians could not have built Ohio’s mounds\, but have been considered frauds since the late 1800s. However\, some enthusiasts have recently claimed they are authentic ancient artifacts. What are the “Holy Stones?” Are they evidence of pre-Columbian visitations by ancient Hebrews? If they are clever frauds\, what were the perpetrators’ motives? \n\n\n\nLepper 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. \n\n\n\nTo access the event\, simply go to the Auglaize County Historical Society Facebook page (also accessible via https://www.facebook.com/AuglaizeCountyHistory) a little before 7 p.m. on Jan. 26. When the program is about to begin\, a red box with the word “Live” will pop up\, and the program will appear as the most current post on the page. Viewers should adjust their volume (on the screen)\, if needed.

SUMMARY:The First Ohioans and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Join archaeologist Brad Lepper for a discussion of how humans became active agents in a changing climate.  \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. Through forest clearing along with selective weeding and planting they favored some species of plants and animals and possibly drove others to extinction. Europeans arrived in the 18th and 19th centuries and rapidly accelerated those processes of environmental change. 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\nThis event is part of “Landscapes\, Rivers\, and Lakes: Ohio’s Natural Environment and a Changing Climate\,” a series of three Ohio Humanities Speakers Bureau events examining the connections between the public humanities and the environment. \n\n\n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:To Save Lake Erie: Engineers in the Age of Ecology
DESCRIPTION:David Stradling\, professor of urban and environmental history at the University of Cincinnati\, describes the city of Cleveland’s late 1960s and early 1970s efforts to improve water quality in Lake Erie. Engineers proposed a variety of solutions\, some of them remarkably fanciful\, even as the persistence of combined sewers ensured lasting – and ongoing – pollution problems. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of “Landscapes\, Rivers\, and Lakes: Ohio’s Natural Environment and a Changing Climate\,” a series of three virtual Ohio Humanities Speakers Bureau events examining the connections between the public humanities and the environment. \n\n\n\nClick here to register.
