SUMMARY:Cities of the World: Dublin
DESCRIPTION:This class will take place May 14\, 4:00-6:00 p.m.\, at the Frank B. Koller Memorial Library in Manitowish Waters\, with Mary Magray. It is part of our Cities of the World: A Grand Tour series.\nDublin: The Story of a City\nViewed from the mountains south of the city\, Dublin today appears as a sprawling metropolis of more than a million people—a far cry from its beginnings some time before the 9th century. Then it was just a small settlement of several thousand men\, women and children hugging the Liffey River. Since then\, its story has been a roller coaster ride\, the city rising and falling in significance\, in wealth\, and in centrality to the greater story of Ireland itself. \nNot surprisingly\, the traces of structures no longer visible on its landscape as well as those remaining today tell a vibrant story of all that has taken place in the city over time. From the now long-gone Viking cabins and Norman half-timbered houses to the great cathedrals\, Georgian row houses\, historic pubs and coffee houses\, and immense (and immensely impressive) civic buildings\, these structures tell of the throbbing life of a great city on the move for more than one thousand years: Dublin. \nInstructor: Mary Magray \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-2032 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout).

SUMMARY:Cities of the World: St. Petersburg
DESCRIPTION:THIS CLASS HAS BEEN CANCELLED due to a health issue. This class will take place April 9\, 4:00-6:00p.m.\, at the Frank B. Koller Memorial Library in Manitowish Waters\, with Michael Hittle. It is part of our Cities of the World: A Grand Tour series.\nSt. Petersburg (AKA: Sankt-Peterburg\, Peterburg\, Petrograd\, Leningrad\, Piter….)\nPeter the Great (1682-1725) founded St. Petersburg as one part of his life-long quest to transform tradition-bound Muscovy into a powerful empire capable of dealing on equal terms with the major powers of western Europe. St. Petersburg’s governmental organization\, economic life\, social relations\, and cultural aspirations—all shaped by the tsar’s modernizing ambitions—stood in stark contrast to the institutional structures and ethos of the Muscovite state at the time of Peter’s accession to power. As the new capital of Russia\, St. Petersburg not only gave impetus to a dramatic redirection of the country\, but it also became a major issue in a prolonged struggle to define the identity of the Russian nation. Whether one looks at the city as the locus of significant historical events or as a symbol of cultural change\, St. Petersburg has played an outsized role in the history of Russia for the last 320 years. \nInstructor: Michael Hittle \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-2032 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout).

SUMMARY:Cities of the World: Edinburgh
DESCRIPTION:This class will take place January 9\, 4:00-6:00p.m.\, at the Frank B. Koller Memorial Library in Manitowish Waters\, with Mary Magray. It is part of our Cities of the World: A Grand Tour series.\nEdinburgh: The Story of a City\nAuthor Alexander McCall Smith has called Edinburgh a “heartbreakingly engaging city\,” a city remarkably easy to fall in love with. Why? Because of how and when and where the city took shape. Because of the fact that from its start it has been the “capital” city—the “first” city—of Scotland. And because of its rich\, proud\, and enduring culture—never sacrificed in the cause of cooperation with its powerful neighbor to the south—that has\, over the centuries\, suffused this entrancing city.  \nThe march of history is how Edinburgh came to be what it is today. From the heights of Castle Rock (where Edinburgh began) and the palace of Mary Queen of Scots to the Union with Great Britain in 1707\, from the earliest Catholic friaries to the Protestant reformer John Knox’s St. Giles Kirk\, from the Scottish Enlightenment to the restoration of the Scottish Parliament in 1998—history is everywhere to be seen\, touched\, and felt in what many have called “the loveliest city in the world.” \nInstructor: Mary Magray \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 892-3982 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout).

SUMMARY:The Witch Panic of the 16th and 17th Centuries
DESCRIPTION:This class will take place October 5\, 12\, 19\, and 26\, 3:00-5:00p.m.\, at the Frank B. Koller Memorial Library in Manitowish Waters\, with Mary Magray.\nThis course will examine in close detail the witchcraft panic that spread like wildfire throughout Europe and the American colonies during the 16th and 17th centuries as well as to explore why the phenomenon remains such an endlessly fascinating historical event. If history can teach us anything\, it is perhaps something important about human societies—most especially\, what they’re capable of doing given a context of profound cultural change and societal upheaval. \nThis four-part course explores the widespread outbreak of torture\, trials\, and executions for witchcraft during the 16th and 17th centuries that resulted in the deaths of as many as 80\,000 women\, men\, and children in Europe and the New World. The panic that ensued drew on a long history of witchcraft belief\, belief that turned to widespread—and deadly—fear in the context of the profound religious and cultural upheaval of the period. \nWhile the witchcraft panic tells us much about Western social\, political\, and religious culture of the early modern period\, it also provides a useful lens through which to view contemporary “witch hunts” and to reflect on more general questions about human society—about the nature of belief\, about fear and responses to fear\, and about cultural norms that allow the persecution of particular individuals. \nClass 1: The Invention of “Witchcraft”: Science\, Religion\, and Magic in the Medieval World \nClass 2: The Invention of “Witchcraft”: The Role of the Devil and the Spread of Terror in the Early Modern World \nClass 3: The Witch Panic: The Campaign to Exterminate Witches in Europe and the New World \nClass 4: The Witch Panic: Consequences\, Explanations\, and Lessons Learned? \nRequirements: The only requirement for this course is an interest in the topic. The instructor will provide short articles and/or excerpts to read between class meetings to aid in discussion as well as deepen students’ understanding of the early modern witchcraft hysteria as well as the contemporary concept of “witch hunts.” \nInstructor: Mary Magray\, PhD \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 892-3982 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout).

Also we will discuss how Barcelona got to be one of the most sought-after vacation spots in the world after we take a “highlights journey” from 711AD and bring you to the present.  If there’s time we will hear the story of the Black Madonna at Montserrat! \nOctober 10: Paris\, with Brian Tarro \nDiscover the City of Light from the perspective of a teacher who has traveled there over 40 times! Wander off the Champs-Élysées to explore the lesser-known streets of this beautiful\, beloved city. Explore Parisian culture\, and get a taste of its unique je ne sais quois. \nNovember 14: Rome\, Italia: a look at the prominent historical sites along with fascinating hidden treasures! with Natalie Pattrito \nWe will explore the well-known ancient wonders of Rome along with several places off the beaten tourist path- and many of these are free!  If time permits we will discuss Pompeii.  Also\, feel free to ask history and/or travel related questions about Italy! \nDecember 12: Cities of the North Atlantic: Greenland and Newfoundland with Gary Theisen \nThe class will expose students to the role three of the most northern cities /countries in the world played in the exploration of the west side of the Atlantic. The industries that enabled them\, the international politics that shaped them and the beauty that defines their topography will be examined complemented by the instructor’s personal photos and experiences.  \nJanuary 9: Edinburgh: Story of a City with Mary Magray \nAuthor Alexander McCall Smith has called Edinburgh a “heartbreakingly engaging city\,” a city remarkably easy to fall in love with. Why? Because of how and when and where the city took shape. Because of the fact that from its start it has been the “capital” city—the “first” city—of Scotland. And because of its rich\, proud\, and enduring culture—never sacrificed in the cause of cooperation with its powerful neighbor to the south—that has\, over the centuries\, suffused this entrancing city. \nThe march of history is how Edinburgh came to be what it is today. From the heights of Castle Rock (where Edinburgh began) and the palace of Mary Queen of Scots to the Union with Great Britain in 1707\, from the earliest Catholic friaries to the Protestant reformer John Knox’s St. Giles Kirk\, from the Scottish Enlightenment to the restoration of the Scottish Parliament in 1998—history is everywhere to be seen\, touched\, and felt in what many have called “the loveliest city in the world.” \nFebruary 13: Indonesian Cities as Reflections of History and Culture with Gary Theisen \nStudents will gain an understanding of the economic and historical importance of the Indonesian archipelago.  Composed of some 13\,00 islands and over one hundred languages Indonesia is the largest Islamic nation in the world yet consists of many different religions and influences resulting in a culturally rich and complex cultural entity.  The class will explore the context of those differences aided by the instructor’s personal photographs. \nMarch 12: 37 Million People Can’t Be Wrong: Magnetic Tokyo\, with Ardith Carlton \nThe world’s largest metropolitan area\, Tokyo attracts not only young Japanese from throughout the country in search of their best life\, but also international visitors galore. Learn about Tokyo’s history\, its culture\, and its range of unforgettable features\, from the colorful cacophony of electronic districts to ancient\, peaceful places. \nApril 9: St. Petersburg (AKA: Sankt-Peterburg\, Peterburg\, Petrograd\, Leningrad\, Piter….) with Michael Hittle \nPeter the Great (1682-1725) founded St. Petersburg as one part of his life-long quest to transform tradition-bound Muscovy into a powerful empire capable of dealing on equal terms with the major powers of western Europe. St. Petersburg’s governmental organization\, economic life\, social relations\, and cultural aspirations—all shaped by the tsar’s modernizing ambitions—stood in stark contrast to the institutional structures and ethos of the Muscovite state at the time of Peter’s accession to power. As the new capital of Russia\, St. Petersburg not only gave impetus to a dramatic redirection of the country\, but it also became a major issue in a prolonged struggle to define the identity of the Russian nation. Whether one looks at the city as the locus of significant historical events or as a symbol of cultural change\, St. Petersburg has played an outsized role in the history of Russia for the last 320 years. \nMay 14: Dublin: Story of a City\, with Mary Magray \nViewed from the mountains south of the city\, Dublin today appears as a sprawling metropolis of more than a million people—a far cry from its beginnings some time before the 9th century. Then it was just a small settlement of several thousand men\, women and children hugging the Liffey River. Since then\, its story has been a roller coaster ride\, the city rising and falling in significance\, in wealth\, and in centrality to the greater story of Ireland itself. \nNot surprisingly\, the traces of structures no longer visible on its landscape as well as those remaining today tell a vibrant story of all that has taken place in the city over time. From the now long-gone Viking cabins and Norman half-timbered houses to the great cathedrals\, Georgian row houses\, historic pubs and coffee houses\, and immense (and immensely impressive) civic buildings\, these structures tell of the throbbing life of a great city on the move for more than one thousand years: Dublin. \nInstructors: \nNatalie Patritto \nBrian Tarro \nGary Theisen \nMary Magray \nArdith Carlton \nMichael Hittle \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 892-3982 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout).
