SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Punch and Judy -- Tradition\, Popular Culture\, and Puppetry
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual discussion by Dr. Jungmin Song on the history of Punch and Judy\, the comical British hand puppet tradition\, featuring the trickster character Punch and his wife Judy that was also exceedingly popular in the United States in the nineteenth century. Punch and Judy plays are episodic\, with Punch interacting with his wife Judy and their baby\, and opposing various figures of authority and characters drawn from other entertainment genres. \nIn this lunchtime talk\, Dr. Song will highlight the controversial nature of Punch and Judy.   Although Punch and Judy has been loved by the public over the centuries\, it carries elements from the past no longer considered acceptable to most current audiences\, such as misogyny\, domestic violence\, capital punishment\, and racism. Many Punch and Judy performers endeavor to rework the tradition so that it reflects contemporary concerns and issues without losing its core anarchic spirit.  \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.   \n About the Speaker\nDr. Jungmin Song is Assistant Professor in Residence at the Department of Dramatic Arts and research associate at the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at the University of Connecticut. She curated the exhibitions Shakespeare and Puppetry (2020) and Puppetry’s Racial Reckoning (2021) at the Ballard. Korean-born\, she lived\, studied\, and worked in London\, England for nearly 20 years before she started working at UConn in 2019.\n  \nImage:  Rod Burnett’s Punch and Judy\, May Fayre\, Covent Garden\, London\, May 10\, 2015.

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.

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:The Bicycle Game Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the in-person opening reception for the exhibition\, The Bicycle Game.  \nThe 1890s saw an unprecedented surge in the popularity of bicycles\, and Connecticut – thanks to entrepreneur Albert Pope and the Hartford-based Pope Manufacturing Company – was a leader in bicycle production. The Bicycle Game explores this moment in history in an interactive and playful exhibition designed for visitors of all ages\, in groups or on their own. In the galleries\, visitors will find the history of the bicycle transformed by an angry villain into a series of games and puzzles that must be solved.  From trivia to bicycle racing to Chutes and Ladders\, visitors will need to rely on a host of skills to make their way through the game and preserve this important moment in Connecticut history. Visit The Bicycle Game and take history for a ride!  \nThis event is free and open to the public! The reception begins at 6:00 pm.  Light refreshments will be served.  \nPlease let us know if you will be able to join us by November 11.

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
