16jul6:00 pm8:30 pmProfs & Pints: The Worst President Ever?6:00 pm - 8:30 pm Bier Baron Tavern

Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “The Worst President Ever?” with Michael Ross, professor of history at the University of Maryland at College Park.

As talk of impeachment stirs in Washington, it’s worth taking a trip back into history and examining the troubled political career of the first president ever to be impeached by the House of Representatives, Andrew Johnson.

Johnson was deeply insecure, racist, ill mannered, and prone to drink. His political instincts were usually wrong, and he confused stubbornness with strength. Yet in 1864 President Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, picked Johnson, a Democrat, as his running mate in order to demonstrate national unity during a close election and divisive war.

No one thought Johnson would ever be president. Then an assassin intervened and on April 15, 1865, Johnson assumed the presidency at one of the most critical moments in American History. With Robert E. Lee having just surrendered at Appomattox, Washington needed to answer critical questions about the nation’s future: What would happen to the states that had joined the Confederacy? Should there be treason trials for Jefferson Davis and other Confederate leaders? What would freedom look like for the four million former slaves recently liberated from bondage? Some Republicans had confidence that Johnson, who had talked tough about punishing the planter class and redistributing land in the South, was up to the task. But others, like the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass, quickly realized Johnson was the wrong man with the wrong values at the wrong time. “Whatever Andrew Johnson may be, he is no friend of our race,” Douglass remarked bitterly after the two met.

Professor Ross will guide the audience through what happened next: Johnson’s disastrous plan for Reconstruction, his titanic struggles with Republicans in Congress, and his impeachment and trial. After assessing Johnson’s lasting impact on American race relations and the United States Constitution, Ross will put up for debate the question of whether Johnson was the worst president in American History, as some scholars claim. You’ll walk out with important historical perspective. (Advance tickets: $12. Door: $15, save $2 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.

17jul6:00 pm8:30 pmProfs & Pints: The Fight to Save Sharks6:00 pm - 8:30 pm Bier Baron Tavern

Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “The Fight to Save Sharks,” with David Shiffman, marine conservation biologist, environmental policy consultant, and college guest-lecturer.

It’s the perfect talk to gear up for Shark Week. Dive deep into the murky waters of marine conversation—and, specifically, the effort to protect shark species—with marine conservation biologist David Shiffman, an award-winning science communicator who frequently guest-lectures at the University of Maryland and other higher-education institutions.

Sharks and their relatives are in more trouble than most other vertebrate animals on Earth, with nearly one out of species assessed as threatened with extinction on the “Red List” maintained by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Although they were swimming in the oceans before the existence of dinosaurs or trees, and have survived many global mass extinction events, our current day’s unsustainable fishing practices threaten them like never before.

Shiffman, who has worked extensively with sharks, will summarize the latest research showing which sharks are in trouble, why they’re in trouble, and why the loss of sharks is bad for humans. He’ll also introduce you to the world of shark conservation policy, with a focus on the debate between limit-based and target-based policy solutions, which pits advocates of promoting sustainable shark fisheries against those who want to ban all fishing for sharks and all sales of shark products.

This talk will not only highlight Shiffman’s research on shark conservation policy but introduce you to key players in the world of ocean conservation. He’ll also bust myths about sharks and challenge popular ideas about shark conservation, such as the beliefs that banning the shark fin trade will be effective, that sustainable shark fisheries cannot and do not exist, and that ocean plastics are a major threat to sharks. (They are to whales and turtles, but not to sharks.) It will be a talk you can sink your teeth into. Young people under 18 welcome if accompanied by an adult. (Advance tickets: $12. Door: $15, save $2 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later. Please allow yourself plenty of time to place any orders and get settled into place.)
