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:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Liberty and Power:\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Politics of Jacksonian America\nby Harry Watson \nWhat better way to head into 2024\, an important election year\, than to visit 1816 America? That is what we thought…Focusing on Jackson\, this book covers the rise of strong political parties and an increased popular involvement in national politics. What could more entertain you these upcoming January evenings? \nGoing by the title\, one can imagine there will be some discussion of Liberty and Power. I am sure you will learn at least a couple of things you can discuss at the family dinner table without offending anyone (unless your family hates learning things – that I can’t help)! \nEmily

SUMMARY:The Indigenous Oral History Manual: Canada and the United States (2023)
DESCRIPTION:For the past several years\, I worked on the Indigenous Oral History Manual: Canada and the United States\, with authors Winona Wheeler\, Charles E. Trimble (posthumous)\, and Mary Kay Quinlan. The book focuses on the role of Indigenous voices in Indigenous history. \nAs Māori oral historian Nepia Mahuika wrote in 2019\, “I argue that indigenous oral histories and traditions cannot be adequately defined by nonindigenous people.” This is a straightforward statement\, but it also can be seen as radical. In this book\, written as a manual\, we discuss support for this work and profile several Indigenous organizations that are active in doing it. In the presentation\, I’ll discuss the major points of the book and present information about the profiled projects. \nBarbara W. Sommer\, M.A.\, has over forty years of experience in the public history and oral history fields. She is the author and co-author of several publications including The Oral History Manual (4th edition due out in 2024)\, the Indigenous Oral History Manual: Canada and the United States (2nd edition of The American Indian Oral History Manual\, 2023)\, the Community Oral History Toolkit (2013)\, Practicing Oral History in Historical Organizations (2015)\, and Doing Veterans Oral History (2015). She also is the author of the award-winning book Hard Work and a Good Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps in Minnesota (2008\, re-issued in 2022)\, a history of this Depression-era program based on oral and written sources. She holds degrees from Carleton College and the University of Minnesota.
