SUMMARY:The Ojibwe in Wisconsin: Historic Events & Historic Places

SUMMARY:The “Anglo-Saxons”: History\, Legacy and Myth
DESCRIPTION:In April 2021\, a congresswoman from Georgia moved to declare the United States an “Anglo-Saxon nation” (the House of Representatives suppressed the move). And in September\, the French president withdrew France’s ambassador from Washington\, D.C.\, enraged at what he called the U.S. preference for alliance with “the Anglo-Saxon world” over its 250-year alliance with France. These offhand and seemingly innocuous comments raise a number of interesting questions. Why do references to medieval English peoples collectively known as “Anglo-Saxons” appear so frequently in modern times? Is it just shorthand for the English-speaking nations of the world\, or is there more to it than that? Who were the Anglo-Saxons anyway\, and what\, if any\, is their significance for us today\, a thousand years after they were soundly defeated and brutally suppressed by their Norman conquerors? This course will examine these questions and more—discovering as we do just who and what the Anglo-Saxons were and why they remain an important thread in the complex story of Western culture. \nClass 1\, Jan. 27: The Germanic invasions of Britain and the rise of the seven “Anglo-Saxon” kingdoms\, ca. 400-800 \nClass 2\, Feb. 3rd: The Viking invasions and the emergence of a centralized “English” (or “Anglish”) monarchy\, ca. 800-1066 \nClass 3\, Feb. 10th: Harold\, the last Anglo-Saxon king\, and the Norman Conquest of 1066: Legacy of the Anglo-Saxons \nClass 4\, Feb. 17th: The evolution of the modern myth of the “Anglo-Saxon nations” \nRequirements: There are no requirements for taking this course other than an interest in the topic. There will be weekly readings that will be provided by the instructor. Students will also be invited to watch a recent Netflix video\, The Dig\, before the first class if possible. And those interested will be invited to watch a video production (provided by the instructor) of Beowulf as it would have been performed (not read) in a 9th-century English hall. \nInstructor: Dr. Mary Magray (click link for bio) \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment.

SUMMARY:Terra Mater Nature Preserve Hike
DESCRIPTION:Come enjoy a beautiful fall color hike at the new Terra Mater Nature Preserve. This is an excellent opportunity to see this diverse piece of land\, as it is currently a private preserve. The hike will be led by naturalist\, author and educator John Bates and will take us along 4\,000 ft of shoreline\, starting at Fisher Lake then heading down the Turtle River to a 24-acre quaking bog\, with an excellent view of a working beaver dam and lodge. Making our way around the bog\, we will pass through a cedar swamp into a good-size upland cedar forest back to the trailhead. The distance will be 3 miles of flat to undulating terrain.

SUMMARY:Ireland through the Ages: A Virtual Tour
DESCRIPTION:In this course we will be going on a whirlwind virtual tour of Ireland\, one of Europe’s smallest countries and—in terms of the sheer number of historical sites and archeological remnants still present on the cultural landscape for the armchair visitor to see—one of its most fascinating. Nowhere in all of western Europe do these historical and archeological remnants survive in the concentration that exists in Ireland—hundreds of thousands of them in a country not even two-thirds the size of Wisconsin. This is often explained by pointing to the country’s traditionally rural culture\, and more specifically to its dearth of tillable agricultural land. While about 80% of the total land area of Ireland is devoted to agriculture\, most of it grazing of livestock\, just 6% is tillable\, compared with anywhere from a third to half elsewhere in western Europe. That’s meant that ancient temples and tombs\, medieval castles and towerhouses\, religious settlements and artifacts from the dawn of Christianity\, and forts and other defensive dwellings of an age long past were never churned up or plowed under. Rather\, they remain where they were constructed\, “monuments” of the past—the physical\, material\, and “readable” record of a long and rich history that has lain largely undisturbed despite the many political\, social\, and cultural upheavals that have occurred in the interim. Experiencing these amazing monuments in person can be as close to time travel as we will ever get. Until that is again possible\, it is my hope that this virtual visit will go some way toward sustaining the curious traveler in each of us.
