Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “Monumental Controversies,” with Fred Bohrer, professor of art and archaeology at Hood College, art historian, and author of the website Monumental Anxiety: An Anti-Guide to the Monuments of Washington, D.C.

Even more than most cities, Washington, DC is filled with monuments and commemorative spaces, which generally serve mainly as a sort of backdrop of urban life. In the past few years, though, many public monuments in Washington and elsewhere have faced new scrutiny, criticism and even direct attack.

Chief among such controversies is the current battle over Confederate monuments, which can be found in every corner of the nation. In fact, Washington itself has a public, outdoor monument to a confederate general and KKK sympathizer—Albert Pike—disguising him as a poet and philosopher. But many other controversies also play out around monuments. Washington has several that bring up—sometimes mainly through their attempts at avoiding—questions of sexual orientation, disability, ideology, social class, and much more.

What is at stake in the new battle over monuments? How and why do monuments today have the power to inspire such vehement passions among both defenders and detractors? And just why are there so many monuments in the first place?

This talk is for anyone who has wondered about the prominent place of monuments in cities and towns, the nature of historical memory, and how things such as race, gender, sexuality, and cultural identity are inscribed in America’s public landscape. Along with tackling questions currently being raised about some monuments, it also will offer a larger historical perspective on the varieties of monuments and their development, and equip audience members with fundamental tools for understanding and analyzing monuments. We’ll look in detail at many nearby objects as well as other monuments throughout the country.

Professor Bohrer has for more than two decades written books and articles examining how tangible objects—paintings, photographs, sculptures, ancient artifacts, museum displays and more—both represent and obscure public histories. You’ll walk out of his talk equipped to be a more astute tour guide for anyone who visits you this spring. (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.)

Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “Sex on the Brain,” a look at the science of sex differences, gender, and sexual orientation, with Bradley M. Cooke, adjunct associate professor of neuroscience and psychology at Georgia State University.

What makes someone gay or straight? Are there sex-based physical differences in brain structure that control behavior? To what extent is gender-typical behavior learned? What happens in the brain when we fall in love, and how do early experiences affect our ability to form attachments?

Brad Cooke researched such questions for 20 years, conducting studies of social behavior in laboratory animals, distributing questionnaires at Pride festivals, and examining the ultramicroscopic synaptic connections between neurons. Come hear him share his findings and those of other scientists who’ve made seminal contributions to our understanding of sex differences, love, and attachment.

He’ll focus on what we know about the origins of sex differences in the brain, the causes of homosexuality, and the reciprocal relationships between gonadal hormones, behavior, and brain structure known as neural plasticity. He’ll also talk about what studies of finger-length ratios have taught us about sexual orientation, and some of the cutting-edge techniques used to study brain structure and function.

You’ll leave with a much greater understanding of why we desire those we desire. (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.)
