SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will begin a discussion of the book When They Severed Earth from Sky: How the Human Mind Shapes Myth (2004) by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Paul T. Barber. For the 12th we’ll read the first ten chapters. This is a book about how myth operates in preliterate societies by taking advantage of aspects of the human mind that we are just beginning to learn about. Joseph Campbell it is not. \nUnfortunately\, this is not an inexpensive book\, though it’s still not like buying a textbook. A new paperback lists for $35 and even an ebook starts at $20. We’re going with it anyway\, since inflation has recently driven prices of many commodities significantly higher and we do our best to stay current. Perhaps you could negotiate to get the seller to include a dozen eggs. \n

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will be beginning a new book\, Aristotle’s Way: How Ancient Wisdom Can Change Your Life (2019) by Edith Hall. For the 15th we’ll read through chapter 2. While we don’t usually like telling people how to live their lives\, we figured that it’s about time to get a little more aggressive in what this group can accomplish. Come prepared to change your ways. \n

SUMMARY:The Electrification of the Mississippi River Gorge: How the University of Minnesota Lost its Bid for a Renewable Resource in the High Dam
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1928\, the University of Minnesota Archives is the official repository of the institution and a rich source of local\, national\, and international history that intersects with the people and programs of the university. \nIn this presentation\, Erik Moore will highlight a piece of institutional history that connects Federal projects\, renewable energy\, corporate interests\, municipal needs\, and university claims and discuss the source material and ways to unearth archival materials stored in the caverns beneath the Elmer L. Andersen Library. \nErik Moore (he/him) is the university archivist for the University of Minnesota. He is also director of the University Digital Conservancy\, the university’s institutional repository. He has advanced degrees in Library & Information Sciences and Historical Studies.
