SUMMARY:Made to Last: The Songs We Sing
DESCRIPTION:What do the songs we sing tell us about cultural memory? What are the songs that have been sung in Connecticut for centuries\, and what are the songs that have arrived more recently? In what ways do singing our songs make us rebellious? In this conversation\, folklorist and Derek Piotr will share his work collecting over 1\,500 audio recordings worldwide that preserve ballads\, hymns\, tales\, poems\, children’s songs\, and interviews from the “non-singer”: someone with no background in musical performance who can nevertheless relate a song or folkloric memory. \nJoin us to hear the voices of Connecticut residents who have contributed to the archive\, explore the fascinating musical legacies present in our state\, and learn how to get involved as well! Check out the archive ahead of time at fieldwork-archive.com. \nSpace is limited! Get free tickets to reserve your spot: GET TICKETS\nThis program is generously supported by the Auerbach Schiro Foundation. \nFor information on how to request specific accommodations\, including ASL interpretation\, please visit our Accessibility at the Museum page.

SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED! Lunch and Learn - Revolutionary Women Writers
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Presentation! \nDuring the Revolution\, Connecticut women left a trove of written materials – letters\, diaries\, recipes\, journals\, poems\, and account books. Through them\, we can see their cares and interests and how the Revolution affected their daily lives – sometimes in subtle ways and sometimes profound. Yet all of them used writing to create meaning and connection in a deeply unsettled time. \nPlease join us as Dr. Marie McDaniel contextualizes several written materials from the Connecticut Museum’s American Revolution collection.  Dr. McDaniel was the 2025 Project Scholar for the American Revolution Papers Digitization Project at the Connecticut Museum. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link. \nQuestions? Contact Jen Busa\, Public Programs Coordinator at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nGET FREE TICKETS\nThank you to our series sponsors Camille and Gregory F. Servodidio! \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Marie McDaniel is the chair of the History Department at Southern Connecticut State University and a historian of Early American religious and gender history. Her first monograph We Shall Not Differ in Heaven: Community in Colonial Philadelphia is forthcoming with Palgrave Macmillan Press. Her current monograph is on ministers who were accused of sexual indiscretions in the colonial period. Prof. McDaniel lives in New Haven with her husband\, two kids\, and two cats. \nImage: Prudence Punderson (Rossiter)\, Chapbook/journal with drawings\, ca. 1770\, Punderson Family Papers\, 1751-1889\, MS Punderson\, Box 1\, Folder 7\, Connecticut Museum collection.

SUMMARY:Virtual Presentation - Balancing Memory and History: Inside the 9/11 Memorial & Museum
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. At the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City\, memorializing and educating about that day and its aftermath remains as resonant as ever. The institution draws millions of visitors each year – from individuals directly impacted by 9/11 to an entire generation with no lived memory of the attacks. Connecting with such diverse audiences requires constant thought about how history is conveyed\, memory is maintained\, and stories are shared. \nJoin us virtually as Noah Rauch\, Senior Vice President\, Education & Public Programs\, provides a behind-the-scenes look at the institution’s development and design\, the inherent complexity of conveying such a challenging history\, and how the stories\, themes\, and legacy of the attacks continue to be shared in this milestone year with audiences from around the world. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link. \nQuestions? Contact Jen Busa\, Public Programs Coordinator at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nGet Free Tickets\n  \nAbout the speaker: Noah Rauch is Senior Vice President for Education & Public Programs at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum\, where he oversees the Museum’s educational\, interpretive\, public\, and professional programs. He has worked on the project since 2010 and was a senior member of the team that conceived\, planned\, and implemented the inaugural education and interpretive programming for the institution. Previously\, Rauch managed grants for the Center for Informal Learning and Schools at the Exploratorium in San Francisco\, and worked in the education departments at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles and the Brooklyn Museum of Art. He received an Ed.M. in Arts-in-Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a BA in American Studies from Wesleyan University. \nImage: Courtesy of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum
