June 5 – Pop Art and 1960s Consumer Culture – This lecture explores the broad social, political, and economic context out of which Pop Art emerged in the early 1960s.

Early Women Aviators

Most of us are familiar with Amelia Earhart, but a quick search reveals many flight pioneers who deserve our attention. In the early years of 20th century, women barnstormers entertained astonished spectators.

Many set records for solo flights, speed, altitude, endurance, and stunts. We will consider excerpts from Beryl Markham’s West with the Night and Louise M.

Wild Animals on the Overland Trail

Between the 1840s and 1869, 300,000 people crossed the American continent to California and Oregon. On the journey, they encountered animals new to them, bison, grizzly bears, antelope, jackrabbits and their favorite, prairie dogs. They also found feared animals such as rattlesnakes and mosquitoes. The emigrants often anthropomorphized the animals, turning the creatures into representations of the family they had left behind or attached to the animals’ human desires for their futures. They knew the animals provided food for the journey, but they also saw hope for the future of the United States in the wild animals. Presenter: Diana Ahmad

Don’t Eat That!

A food taboo is a prohibition against consuming certain foods. The word “taboo” is Polynesian and means ‘sacred’ or ‘forbidden’; it has a quasi-magical or religious overtone. The term was introduced in the anthropological literature in the second half of the 19th century. In the field of food and nutrition, food taboos are not necessarily connected with magical-religious practices, and some nutritionists prefer to speak of “food avoidance.” Come learn about why we don’t eat what we don’t eat.

Women in the American West

The Women of the American West (18651890) were viewed as either Saints in Sunbonnets or Sinners in Silk. This class will offer detailed information to help us decide. Gold, silver, and available lands brought people to the American West. The movement included thousands of women who were wives and mothers, but it also brought women west to seek their own fortunes who were hoping to escape the restrictions of the Cult of True Womanhood. Because of their rarity, women were able to participate in activities and professions that only men could do “back in the East.” Women tried to maintain their status as “ladies,” while at the same time trying to become independent from the constraints put on them by late nineteenth-century society. Women in the American West opened the doors for those who followed them in business, politics, and society.

The Cathedral of Food

It’s a small wonder, given all the secrets of supermarket geography, that a trip to the grocery store meant to pick up a few items so quickly turns into a matter of multiple bags and many dollars. What is a greater wonder is that almost 40 percent of our food supply is wasted; a significant jump from the first time the figure was measured, which stood at 28 percent in 1974. That’s a problem that much of the rest of the world would like to have, a perfect storm of overabundance, too many choices, overbuying, and crafty store designers.
