The countries hardest hit were Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. Based in Bangkok from 2004-2008 as a regional environment, science and health officer for Southeast Asia, Jim Waller was at the center of U.S. efforts to understand the nature of the potential pandemic and to work cooperatively with affected countries in the region to minimize the threat. He worked with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, USAID, American embassies’ public affairs sections, and regional government agencies in what ultimately proved a successful effort. Because of differences in the poultry industries, government structures and public attitudes, each of the countries emphasized and pursued different strategies to control the disease. Waller will speak about how each of these countries succeeded in controlling the disease and the American assistance that aided their efforts.

We will supply cards and pencils for you to write your anonymous questions.

While considering these issues with the instructor, you will also be introduced to some lesser-known perennials that do well in area gardens, including The Gardens at SIUE. Presidents and the Press Laurie Rice, PhD, associate professor of political science Wednesday, Feb. 28, 10:30-11:45 a.m. President Donald Trump is not the first president to have an adversarial relationship with the press. However, unlike most prior presidents, he has purposefully cultivated a hostile relationship with the media for political ends. In this session, we’ll seek to place President Trump’s media strategy in historical context by exploring how a variety of American presidents have attempted to influence media coverage. Through exploring stories throughout the history of president-media relations, we’ll gain deeper insight into what works, what doesn’t work, unanticipated consequences, and the large impact even small actions can have on the relationship between the president and the media and the president’s ability to accomplish policy goals. A Known Race Writer: Pauline Hopkins’s Editorial Ascent at the Colored American Magazine Elizabeth Cali, PhD, assistant professor of English Wednesday, Feb. 28, 1:15-2:30 p.m. This presentation engages in an examination of early-20th-century African American female writer, editor and activist Pauline Hopkins’s editing practices at the Colored American Magazine.

Let’s dribble down memory lane as Paul and Emily discuss some history of March Madness, background stories, and give recent updates for the current basketball season. The Protestant Reformation Carole Frick, PhD, chair of the Department of Historical Studies Wednesday, March 14, 1:15-2:30 p.m. On October 31, 1517, a young, impassioned Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg Cathedral, challenging the practices of the corrupted Papacy of the Catholic Church in Rome. With this act, the Protestant Reformation was born. In this session, Dr. Frick will take a look back at the historical causes of Luther’s rage, and also the social reactions to this protest that led to the creation of the Protestant denominations: Lutheran, Calvinist, Baptist, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, Mennonite, Amish and more. These religions provided the foundation for immigration to the New World, where later protests continued against organized religion, generating even more varieties of the Christian faith. Beer, Wine and Spirits Laura Fowler, PhD, associate professor and director of museum studies Wednesday, March 21, 10:30-11:45 a.m. Interest in beer, wine and spirits has experienced a revitalization as micro/craft breweries, wineries and distilleries have skyrocketed in popularity. This presentation covers advanced topics of the technical and industrial approach to the art and science of beer, wine and spirits production. Artemisia Gentileschi: Portrait of a Baroque Artist as an Early Feminist Katherine Poole-Jones, PhD, associate professor of art history Wednesday, March 21, 1:15-2:30 p.m. Since women first entered the art world, gender-based assumptions combined with cultural and institutional barriers have meant they often struggled to gain a foothold. For these reasons, female artists were forced to overcome obstacles not experienced by their male counterparts. Luckily, over the centuries, there have been numerous exceptional women who have refused to be constrained by societal expectations of what they could do and should be, and who were able, often against great odds, to carve out successful, fulfilling careers as professional artists. This talk will consider the life and work of Gentileschi, specifically her depictions of strong, powerful women, and what it meant to be female and an artist in early modern Italy.
