Environmentalism and the Idea of 'Nature'
Faculty Member: John Fennell, F. Wendell Miller Professor of Philosophy

Helen of Troy after the War
Faculty Member: Dustin Dixon, assistant professor of classics
In this lecture, Professor Dixon uncovers a minor mythological tradition that imagines Helen growing old after the war.

Mozart's Juggling Act
Faculty Member: Eric McIntyre, professor of music
In the final movement of his final symphony, Mozart performs one of the more extraordinary displays of musical, mathematical, and creative prowess ever presented by a composer – and he makes it look (or sound!) easy. In this session we examine how a work that, on its surface is seemingly just another bit of musical fun, reveals extraordinary skill on so many levels.
Previous experience with music theory or classical music is not necessary to understand this session!

Medieval European Books of Hours – What are they? How were they made? Who read them?
Faculty Member: Sharon R. Clayton, associate professor/acquisitions and discovery librarian & Laura Michelson, assistant library professor
Medieval Books of Hours are manuscript books containing prayers and devotional texts that were created and used primarily from the 13th through 16th centuries in Western Europe. These manuscript prayer books were often beautifully illustrated and bound, becoming objects of art as well as devotional texts. More books of hours remain today than any other artifact from medieval Europe. This lecture will provide more detail on what was in these books, how they were made, and who their readers were. Clayton and Michelson will show numerous beautiful examples along the way, including some from The Salisbury House Library Collection at Grinnell College Special Collections & Archives.

Narrative and Identity
Faculty Member: Johanna Meehan, McCay-Casady Professor of Humanities
Who am I? What links the self I was as a child, as a young woman, to the person I am today? Why does my past seem to matter to present self? Theorists have argued that not only do autobiographical narratives matter, but they truly are what the self is. While Professor Meehan shares the belief that narratives are critically important to our sense of self, they do not constitute the whole of a self. In this lecture she will examine both the importance and limits to the role that narrative plays in the founding and sustaining of the self.

Regenerative Medicine: Learning from the Regeneration Pros
Faculty Member: Pascal Lafontant, professor of biology
When will Regenerative Medicine come of age? What technological barriers need to be overcome? In this talk we will assess how far Regenerative Medicine has come in the last decades. We will survey the field of regenerative biology and the extraordinary ability of several species to regenerate limbs, spinal cord, heart, pancreas, or their entire body from a one segment. How can we experimentally facilitate the emergence of these abilities in humans? We will learn about key biological processes that are the foundation of tissue repair and regeneration and consider the ethical questions Regenerative Medicine raises.

Edward Steiner: A Grinnell Professor's Immigration Story
Faculty Member: Professor Emeritus George Drake ’56

The Secrets of Shakespeare's Sonnets
Faculty Member: John Garrison, professor of English
Shakespeare's Sonnets contain some of the most famous love poems in the English language. They also tell us a lot about how Shakespeare's thought his writing might exist beyond his lifetime in cultural memory. But what do they tell us about Shakespeare's own thinking about love or about how he'd remember his own life? In this lecture and subsequent discussion, Professor Garrison shares some of his latest thinking from his new research that earned him a Guggenheim Fellowship this year. And he invites participants to think about their own relationship to Shakespeare's poetry.

The Invention of the Bicycle
Faculty Member: Michael Guenther, associate professor of history
This lecture uses the fascinating history of the bicycle to explore three central questions that animate the study of technology: 1.) How and why do "inventions" appear in particular times and places, and who should receive "credit" for them? 2.) Why do particular design paths tend to become standardized and "locked-in" so that alternative forms of a technology, however promising, disappear? 3.) How are technologies shaped by social, economic, even political forces, and conversely, how do new technologies disrupt or transform society? We will explore these issues by examining the largely unknown story of the bicycles evolution in 19th-century America.

Fragility and Conflict-Affected States
Faculty Member: Leif Brottem
As we consider the United States in its current state of social and political fragility, what are the parallels with other countries affected by conflict? The label "fragile and conflict-affected state" is typically reserved for countries where governance is viewed by outsiders as hopelessly corrupt and politics are practiced in ways that most Americans would not recognize.

Race and the Bible
Faculty Member: Elliot Ratzman
Are the British the "lost tribes of Israel"? Does the Bible condemn interracial marriage? Is there "racism" in the ancient world? In the Americas, South Africa, and elsewhere the Bible has been used as a tool of oppression to justify slavery, colonialism, and massacre but also as a tool for the fight for justice and racial equality. In this pre-recorded lecture, Dr. Ratzman explores some of the obscure Biblical episodes that were mobilized over the centuries to underwrite racism, slavery, and colonialism. By understanding the original contexts and their modern interpretations, we can see how holy texts play a role in justifying – and combatting – racism and injustice.
