SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Serenity Mental Art for Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Our current exhibition\, Common Struggle\, Individual Experience: An Exhibition on Mental Health includes several ways that Connecticans approach healing and support for mental health. Please join us as Artist Jampa Tsondue and Yeshi Dorjee\, a Buddhist monk and artist\, discuss Thangka art and meditation to promote healing. \nThangka are sacred Tibetan Buddhist artworks. Thangka art is more than just images\, it contains the information you need to relax your mind and find peace. In this talk\, Jampa will share with us how thangka artworks promote natural healing within each person. Yeshi will share with us steps to meditate upon the thangka to decrease mental and physical suffering and increase healing. \nThis presentation is virtual and free. Click here to register. The Zoom link will be in the attached ticket you receive with your confirmation email. \nQuestions? Email Jennifer Busa at jennifer_busa@chs.org. \nAbout the Speakers \nJampa Tsondue was born in India to Tibetan refugee parents. He began his art studies at age 13. He became an apprentice to this famous painter at the Gyudmed Tantric University. He trained in the Buddhist holy tradition of thangka painting for 20 years. Jampa has painted many thangka for different monasteries with his mentor. Their most important project took four painters nearly four years to complete – recreating forty-one thangkas in the Dalai Lama’s collection\, each 4 feet by 3 feet\, depicting the past lives of the Buddha. \nJampa moved to Connecticut in 1992. Today\, he continues to paint and teach apprentice artists. As is his tradition\, every morning he prays and meditates to reflect on compassion\, loving kindness\, and tolerance. \nYeshi Dorjee was born in Bhutan after his mother escaped from Tibet. As a child he entered into Gyueme Monastic University in India to study art and philosophy until he was 36. He moved to California and taught art and meditation at the University of California Santa Barbara and at other centers. He presented at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in 2000. Yeshi is a master of Tibetan thangka painting as well as butter sculpture. \nIn 2019\, Yeshi moved to Connecticut. He provides spiritual guidance to the growing Buddhist community in Old Saybrook and Norwich. Yeshi knows\, presents\, and has written down many traditional narratives of the Tibetan people as well as Buddhist allegories and lesson stories. as well. \nImage: Mental Replacement\, First Step of Meditation\, 2001.

SUMMARY:**Canceled** Lunch and Learn: The Neurocolorline -- Locating Black Autism and Black Neurodivergence in the Archives
DESCRIPTION:We’re sorry\, this event has been canceled.  \nPlease join us for a virtual discussion by Dr. Diana Paulin.  The title of this talk borrows from W.E.B.’s 1903 scholarly study in which he contends that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line- the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa\, in America and the islands of the sea” (The Souls of Black Folk). This powerful image of a racialized line that separates communities and nations still resonates in the twenty-first century. However\, the colorline is shaped by other factors\, such as class and religion.   \nDr. Paulin will talk about how the history of anti-black racism and ableism in the U.S. erases both the past and contemporary experiences of Black neurodivergence. In fact\, much of the archival work is detective work\, reading between the lines\, searching in unlikely collections\, and identifying gaps in historical\, medical\, and cultural narratives because of the historical devaluation of Black well-being and humanity during enslavement and beyond. In the process of locating historic and contemporary instances of Black neurodivergence\, Dr. Paulin contributes to the efforts to learn from\, better understand\, and include the contributions\, survival strategies\, challenges experienced not only by Black people but also by all neurodivergent people in our neurodiverse past and present world.  \nThis virtual program is free. To secure a spot\, click here to register now. You will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link attached\, and we will send you a reminder on the day of the program.   \n Questions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org.  \n About the Speaker  \nDiana R. Paulin is Associate Professor of American Studies and English\, and affiliate faculty in Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Trinity College\, Connecticut. She co-directs Trinity’s Global Health Humanities Gateway Program and coordinates the African American Studies minor. Dr. Paulin has published\, taught\, and presented extensively on Black autism. She was a speaker at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Crip the Met” series. She is currently working on a book project (Autistic Blackness)\, and on collaborative interactive digital archive (Locating Blackness).

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Lincoln's Suspension of Habeas Corpus
DESCRIPTION:Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus during the Civil War. This was controversial at the time and continues to spark debate. What were Lincoln’s legal and practical justifications for this action? Was he recklessly assuming dictatorial powers or acting out of genuine necessity to save the Union? Is it fair to judge Lincoln by today’s standards or should he be evaluated by applying the norms of his time?   \n These fascinating issues\, and others\, will be discussed during this lunchtime talk by Connecticut Judge Douglas S. Lavine.  \n  This virtual program is free. To secure a spot\, click here to register now. You will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link attached\, and we will send you a reminder on the day of the program.   \nQuestions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org.  \n About the Speaker  \nDouglas S. Lavine was appointed to the bench by Governor Lowell P. Weicker\, Jr.\, in 1993. He is now a Judge Trial Referee on the Connecticut Appellate Court.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn -- A Young\, Sad Country: Melancholia in Colonial New England and Its Impact on Early American Literature
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, early American scholars have embraced the History of Medicine\, using interdisciplinary approaches to uncover how colonists understood and treated illness. However\, scholarship has primarily focused on epidemics affecting the body\, leaving mental health largely unexplored.   \nThis virtual lunchtime talk by Emily Gates is part of a larger project investigating how historical documents by medical practitioners and clergy construct a record of the evolving understanding of melancholia and relate to the literary works from the colonial and Early Republic eras. Therefore\, in this presentation Emily will only focus on one type of melancholia\, but in doing so\, it will provide a thorough illustration of language used by the mentally ill to describe their condition\, the understanding of melancholia by religious and medical authorities\, and the surprising connection between real cases and the emergence of early American literature\, which features predominately melancholic characters.  \nThis virtual program is free. To secure a spot\, click here to register now. You will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link attached\, and we will send you a reminder on the day of the program.    \nQuestions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org.   \nAbout the Speaker   \nEmily “Em” Gates is a PhD candidate in Literary Studies at Georgia State University in Atlanta She is currently working to complete her dissertation linking high rates of melancholia in colonial New England to the emergence of predominantly melancholic characters in early American literature. Prior to this\, she completed her undergraduate work at Berry College in Rome\, GA before moving to Canterbury\, England\, where she graduated with her MA in English and American Literature from the University of Kent. Em is a burgeoning Early Americanist whose primary research interest is literature and medicine\, especially the intersection of literature\, trauma\, and mental illness. She also loves multiethnic literature of the United States and southern literature. You can find her previous work in Litterae Mentis: A Journal of Literary Studies and Panoply: a literary zine.  \n

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: The History of Czech Communities in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual talk by Dr. Martin Nekola as he discusses the history of the Czech people building a life in the U.S. \nThousands of people dreamed of leaving poor Bohemian lands\, crossing the ocean and entering the country of endless hope. Around 1506\, the first news about America in the Czech language had spread across Bohemia and was received with great interest. In 1585\, the alchemist and metallurgist Joachim Gans from Prague arrived\, as part of an English expedition\, on the shores of today´s North Carolina and was probably the first Czech who ever set foot on American soil. In the following two centuries more individuals or small groups of pioneers went through the dangerous journey to find happiness on a mysterious continent in the West. \nOnly after the middle of the 19th century was there a massive wave of migration. The emigrants’ motivation was the vision of better living conditions and of getting rich easily\, but also there was a desire to escape the political\, religious and national oppression in Bohemia\, at that time part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Their journey carried them by railway to German ports and from there across the Atlantic to New York\, Baltimore\, New Bern\, New Orleans or Galveston. After landing\, the settlers moved in various directions. With the outbreak of the First World War in the summer of 1914\, statistics state that there were about 350\,000 Czechs living in the USA. \nThe presentation will focus on the development of Czech neighborhoods in New York and Boston\, where the Czechs showed an extraordinary desire to associate\, and founded a number of compatriot associations\, businesses\, schools\, churches and periodicals.  Dr. Nekola will also address the Czech history of Connecticut\, where many Czechs were to be found in Hartford and Bridgeport. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public.  Click here to register through Yapsody. You’ll get a confirmation email and the Zoom link will be in the attached ticket. You’ll also receive a reminder email with the Zoom link the morning of the event. \n

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Black Revolution on the Sea Islands
DESCRIPTION:This virtual Lunch and Learn presentation by Frances O’Shaughnessy draws on military letters\, treasury reports\, and personal letters from the denoted “Port Royal Experiment\,”  including a letter from the CMCH collection\, to historicize Gullah Geechee people’s expressions of freedom during the Civil War\, what Frances calls a Black Revolution for Freedom. \nNew England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) Fellow Frances O’Shaughnessy will draw on Gullah Geechee music and sermons\, in particular\, to demonstrate an alternative narrative to the Civil War\, one that does not subsume Black practices of freedom under the U. S. Military\, but rather considers their world-making practices on the plantation\, even when their worlds proved provisional. They consider how the Black Revolution travelled across the Sea Islands\, with planters fleeing plantations as smoke from cotton fires filled the air. \nFrances narrates Gullah Geechee peoples’ destruction of planter property\, within themselves and within the land\, as the destruction of property itself – as an idea\, as a thing\, and as an essence – an anti-proprietary freedom\, whose vision encouraged Black women to rip cotton from the soil and replace it with the seeds of potatoes\, peas\, squash\, and corn. Frances creates a material history\, drawn from the aesthetics and spirituals of Gullah Geechee life\, to critically engage with alternative humanities present in the past\, precisely because they permit us to imagine other possibilities to live and be together. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public.  Click here to register through Yapsody. You’ll get a confirmation email and the Zoom link will be in the attached ticket.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn:  Connecticut Political Figures and the Chinese Exclusion Act
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual presentation by Judge Henry Cohn as he discusses his research on the opposition to the Chinese Exclusion Acts by two Connecticut Senators and one Massachusetts Senator. \nCongress passed statutes in the late 1880’s that discriminated against Chinese immigrants. The two sitting U.S. Senators from Connecticut\, Joseph Roswell Hawley and Orville Hitchcock Platt\, and Massachusetts Senator George Frisbie Hoar\, closely tied to Connecticut\, unsuccessfully opposed passage of these statutes. The Senators’ opposition\, while an initial failure in the U.S. Senate\, formed the basis for the repeal of these statutes in 1943. \nThese Senators formed friendships with the adults and met the students from the Chinese Educational Mission\, a cultural and educational exchange program headquartered in Hartford. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Click here to register! When you do\, you’ll get an emailed receipt with an attached “ticket” — the Zoom link is in that ticket! \nThe Chinese Educational Mission is the subject of our current exhibition\, Journeys 旅途: Boys of the Chinese Educational Mission. Visit us in person\, or click the link to see a virtual 3D tour. And if podcasts are your thing\, listen to our exhibition staff talk about how the exhibition came together\, and the new discoveries that inspired it\, on Grating the Nutmeg: The Podcast of Connecticut History.

SUMMARY:Stepping Forth Into the World: The Story of the Xu Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Our exhibition\, Journeys\, tells the story of the students who participated in the Chinese Educational Mission (CEM). In this program\, Henry Qu\, who contributed his research and translation skills to the exhibition\, will tell the story of three students\, the remarkable Xu brothers. Qu will place the brothers’ story into the larger context of world history and reveal how the brothers’ lives became part of a complicated tangle of international exchange. \nAfter the First Opium War (1840-1842)\, Britain and other countries forced the Qing court to open to foreign trade through international treaties. Collaborating with Chinese merchants\, foreign traders ventured deeply into Inland China\, created enormous wealth\, and brought drastic changes to the life of millions. The Xu family is among these merchants. As the first group of Chinese who started to re-examine the world in the late 19th century\, their family members left footprints in China\, the United Kingdom\, and the United States. Three of the Xu boys came to the United States with CEM\, spending some of their teenage years studying and living abroad. Some of their home letters are still preserved by CMCH\, shedding light on the family’s story and history. This is a story of self-made entrepreneurs\, a story of international exchange\, and a story of personal struggles under the tide of history. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Click here to register! When you do\, you’ll get an emailed receipt with an attached “ticket” — the Zoom link is in that ticket! \nThe Chinese Educational Mission is the subject of our current exhibition\, Journeys 旅途: Boys of the Chinese Educational Mission.

Contact Adult Programs Manager Natalie Belanger via email at natalie_belanger@chs.org\, or call (860) 236-5621 x289. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Henry Qu is a Data Scientist at Indigo Agriculture and National Turfgrass Evaluation Program. While his main research focuses on data analysis and modeling in agricultural commodity prices\, sustainability\, and turfgrass cultivar evaluation\, he is also interested in history\, especially in the immigration history of Chinese Americans. Following the legacy of the Chinese Educational Mission\, Dr. Qu came to the United States as an international student. Graduated from Rutgers University\, Dr. Qu received his master’s degree in Statistics and doctorate in Plant Breeding. He has released 5 turfgrass cultivars\, published 5 journal articles\, 12 conference papers\, and 1 book chapter. \n

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: The Neurocolorline -- Locating Black Autism and Black Neurodivergence in the Archives
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual discussion by Dr. Diana Paulin. The title of Dr. Diana Paulin’s talk borrows from W.E.B.’s 1903 scholarly study in which he contends that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line- the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa\, in America and the islands of the sea” (The Souls of Black Folk). This powerful image of a racialized line that separates communities and nations still resonates in the Twenty-first century. However\, the colorline is shaped by other factors\, such as class and religion. \nIn this virtual lunchtime talk\, Dr. Paulin will talk about how the history of anti-black racism and ableism in the U.S. erases both the past and contemporary experiences of Black neurodivergence. In fact\, much of the archival work is detective work\, reading between the lines\, searching in unlikely collections\, and identifying gaps in historical\, medical\, and cultural narratives because of the historical devaluation of Black well-being and humanity during enslavement and beyond. In the process of locating historic and contemporary instances of Black neurodivergence\, Dr. Paulin contributes to the efforts to learn from\, better understand\, and include the contributions\, survival strategies\, challenges experienced not only by Black people but also by all neurodivergent people in our neurodiverse past and present world. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Mouth to Mouth - The Tooth Trade in Washington’s World
DESCRIPTION:In 1807\, dentist John Greenwood imported 4\,300 human teeth for 432 pieces of silver from a French Surgeon dentist. Greenwood constantly sought teeth to fill the increasing demand for dentures\, bridges\, and live tooth transplants\, including crafting several sets of dentures for George Washington. Greenwood was not alone in this need as eighteenth and early nineteenth-century dentists frequently advertised to purchase human teeth\, including Connecticut-based dentist Richard Skinner. Throughout the eighteenth century\, the discourses around teeth dramatically shifted as new systems of meanings developed as white\, straight\, and complete teeth became associated with virtue and American republicanism. \nIn this virtual presentation\, Lucy Smith\, New England Regional Fellowship Consortium grantee\, will examine how this ideological shift fueled a tooth trade that traces the movement of early dentists throughout Connecticut\, across the ocean\, and at the intimate level of teeth moving from one mouth to another. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Click here to register. \nQuestions?
