Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “The Women Behind George Washington,” a look at strong women in the founding era, with Denver Brunsman, associate professor of history at George Washington University and lecturer at Mount Vernon.

If it’s Presidents’ Day, it’s time for Profs and Pints audience favorite Denver Brunsman to take the stage with a talk that brings our nation’s early history to life.

Come join him for a talk on how George Washington, known as America’s Founding Father, hardly founded the country on his own, but instead got help from founding mothers, sisters, and daughters in bringing to life the United States.

Raised by a resilient single mother, Washington secured his status as an elite gentleman and political leader through his marriage to the wealthy widow Martha Dandridge Custis.

As one of America’s few early leaders without a college education, Washington also carried a lifelong intellectual insecurity that made him especially open to counsel from women and men alike. Among the women from whom he sought advice and took inspiration were Philadelphia socialite Elizabeth Willing Powel, the African American poet Phillis Wheatley, and the English historian Catharine Macaulay Graham. He credited these and other strong women as “the best patriots” who made the American founding possible.

Come learn about the crucial role that these women played in Washington’s thinking, in our nation’s attainment of independence, and in the creation of our Republic. Behind this great man were a bunch of women who deserve their time in the limelight.

In what has become a Presidents Day tradition, Professor Brunsman will combine his lecture with songs and odes to America’s first president. This is a holiday celebration not to be missed. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15, save $2 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.

18feb6:00 pm8:30 pmProfs & Pints: Britain on the Brink6:00 pm - 8:30 pm Bier Baron Tavern

Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “Britain on the Brink,” with Sam Wetherell, lecturer on British and World History at the University of York.

What on earth is happening in Britain? Since Britain voted to leave the European Union in 2016, “Brexit” has dominated every element of British politics and culture, shaping the course of elections, toppling Prime Ministers, and confusing the hell out of everyone.

To gain a better understanding of how Britain got into this mess, come join Sam Wetherell, an expert on British history from across the pond, for a talk that will offer you a long-term perspective. Along with taking stock of Britain’s current crisis, he’ll take a deep dive into the last two hundred years of British history, examining what led up to all of this.

Wetherell will tackle three related questions: How does the collapse of Britain’s massive, world-making Empire shape its present place in the world? How much of its current crisis can be traced to its historical status as the first country to industrialize, and the long-term effects of its extraordinary and violently disruptive period of rapid economic and population growth? Finally, why does modern British politics—with its hollering House of Commons, its geriatric House of Lords, and its dysfunctional royal family—seem so strange and backward?

You’ll end up with a better understanding of the meaning and significance of Brexit and a better sense of what the future holds for the British. (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15, save $2 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later. Please allow yourself time to place any orders and get seated and settled in.)
