THE ENGLISH JOAN OF ARC: Saint, Witch, Man, Maid, or Whore
MEMS Fall Colloquium Lecture, Gail Orgelfinger
Location
Library and Gallery, Albin O. Kuhn
Date & Time
October 29, 2019, 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Description
Because the English were ultimately responsible for executing Joan of Arc, the usual view of their changing judgments of her is a progressive one—from witch to heroine to saint. However, their opinions prove to be much more varied and nuanced, encompassing praise, blame, and uneasiness all within 200 years of her death. This talk discusses some of these complex reactions from English historians, playwrights, and biographers through the Early Modern era.
Gail Orgelfinger, Senior Lecturer of English at UMBC, Emerita, is the author of Joan of Arc in the English Imagination, 1429–1829 (Penn State University Press, 2019).
A NEW STORY OF THE BLACK DEATH
How Genetics Is Transforming Our Narratives Of The Plague
Location
Library and Gallery, Albin O. Kuhn
Date & Time
March 12, 2019, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Description
Monica Green, Professor of History at Arizona State University, specializes in medieval European medical history and the global history of infectious diseases. In her talk she will show how our understanding of the Black Death, the plague pandemic that ravaged Europe, the Middle East, and north Africa between 1346 and 1353, has been transformed in the last decades because of new developments in genetics. Historians and archaeologists are now learning to incorporate the findings from genetics into new narratives, ones that show that this largest of pandemics was even larger, and more widespread, than we ever imagined before. Our story must now include not only the Mediterranean and Europe, but also China and perhaps even much of sub-Saharan Africa.
