12:30pm to 1:00pm

Location: 

Online

The French Revolution saw an explosion of printed media and printmakers—including women, who used their artistic production to participate in the politics they were legally excluded from because of their gender.

Art Talk Live: The Art of Extinction in Early Modern Europe

12:30pm to 1:00pm

Location:

Climate change has brought renewed and urgent interest in the relationship between human behavior and the mass extinction of animal species and their habitats.

Location:

Professor David A. Moss, author of the acclaimed book “Democracy: A Case Study,” makes history come alive with an audience-driven discussion of a pivotal moment in our past. The year was 1965.
