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:'Capturing Life' Academic Screening
DESCRIPTION:Come visit Northern Kentucky University’s Steely Library to see an academic screening of Voyageur Media Group’s latest documentary\, “Capturing Life!” The screening will be on October 17th from 5-7pm. Following the film at 7pm there will be a panel discussion focusing on photography and education. \n\n\n\nOver the past three decades\, Voyageur’s production team has conducted research at dozens of regional archives in search of photographs to illustrate documentaries about our area’s rich cultural heritage. They have always cherished days spent exploring photographic collections. Over time\, they came to realize that these remarkable photographs are a fascinating story unto themselves. \n\n\n\nThe Big Picture: A History of Photography in Greater Cincinnati presents these fascinating stories in three\, one-hour episodes that cover the century of time from 1839 to 1939. \n\n\n\n“Capturing Life\,” the first episode\, examines how photography emerged as a vital medium during a period when Cincinnati evolved from a modest river town into the sixth-largest city in the United States. We present the work of the region’s first photographers\, entrepreneurs who turned their craft into a business. The first episode also explores the influence of photography during a period of enormous social change\, including westward expansion\, immigration\, slavery\, the abolitionist movement and the Civil War. \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, but requires registration. Please check back for a link! \n\n\n\nThis project was funded in part by an Ohio Humanities Ignite Grant. \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants? Visit our calendar or browse our list of grantees!

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:Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life and Art of Barbara Shermund
DESCRIPTION:Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life and Art of Barbara Shermund showcases the work of Barbara Shermund\, the trailblazing feminist cartoonist who\, as one of the first women cartoonists for The New Yorker magazine\, brought her outspoken women characters to life in a distinctive flowing style that helped shape the visual brand of The New Yorker. Mounted in 2020 but cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic\, the exhibit returns because of its popularity\, visual appeal and relevance\, and with an exciting lineup of associated programs. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features more than 100 pieces of original cartoon art by Shermund published during the heyday of American magazines\, the 1920s-1960s. Curated by Caitlin McGurk\, curator of comics and cartoon art & associate professor at the Ohio State University’s Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum\, the artwork in the exhibition represents the best of Shermund’s work in the Billy Ireland collection and outlines the most prominent themes running through Shermund’s cartoons – Youth & Age\, Relationships\, Travel\, Society\, Fashion & Beauty\, Modern Art. Also highlighted are selections of her advertising work\, early art\, men’s magazine cartoons and book illustrations. \n\n\n\nThis exhibit was funded in part by an Ohio Humanities Ignite Grant. \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants?

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 Newark Earthworks: One of the World's Ancient Wonders
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the McKinley Memorial Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Brad Lepper about the Newark Earthworks! \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\nRegistration is required at 330-652-1704\, ext. 3. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:The Story of Ohio's Canals
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Adena Mansion and Gardens for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Tom O’Grady! \n\n\n\nBeginning in 1825\, Ohio began constructing its canal system that eventually included nearly a thousand miles of channel and towpaths laced with stone locks and culverts\, aqueducts\, feeder lakes and slack water ponds. These canals opened up Ohio to world commerce allowing the export of surplus grains and manufactured goods and the import of items made in New York\, London and Paris. Ohio’s canals linked the Great Lakes with the Ohio River and Ohio towns with markets in Chicago\, Buffalo\, and New York City and Pittsburgh\, St. Louis and New Orleans. Canal builders negotiated Ohio’s diverse landscape as they traversed glacial moraines and the Allegheny Plateau. The ‘big ditch’ stitched the settlements of Ohio’s wilderness together and helped make it a player on the world’s stage. \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?
