The History of Sport in the United States
<p>This two-week forum will introduce audiences to the history of sport in the United States during the recent past. Focusing on the period between 1900 and today, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology Larry Atwater will explore how sport has long served as a reflection of American society as well as an agent of change in the nation. The series will begin in week one by discussing important themes and events in the history of sport during the first half of the twentieth century. It will pay particular attention to themes of religion, race, ethnicity and gender in the construction of sport culture and the role of sport in broader events like racial segregation, the Great Depression and the two world wars. Week two’s session moves the story through the latter decades of the twentieth century and up to today. It will highlight the influence of sport in and on events like the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement and the modern women’s movement and examine how developments like television coverage, corporate sponsorship and globalization have influenced both sport and society.</p><p>Thursday Forum is held in Kesler Auditorium on the first floor of <a data-cke-saved-href="{CCM:BASE_URL}/why-coe/visitor-information/campus-map" href="{CCM%3ABASE_URL}/why-coe/visitor-information/campus-map">Hickok Hall</a>. Each weekly session begins with registration and refreshments from 8:45-9:15 AM, followed by the lecture until 11:30 AM. The presentations blend lecture, media such as film and music, and discussion.</p><p>Admission to each four-week forum series is $40.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Tourism and Commemoration in Paris, Martinique, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina
<p>Travelers flock to iconic sites to connect with the past and other cultures. Visiting a monument, museum, palace, cathedral, or other cultural or historical site allows visitors to connect stories with a physical place. But what stories do such sites really tell, and whose stories do they overlook? Drawing on examples from Europe and the Americas, this four-week forum will explore how narratives of post-revolutionary and postcolonial tourist sites often obscure as much as they reveal about the pivotal social and political conflicts that occurred there. In week one, Joanne H. Pochobradsky Associate Professor of French Joyce Janca-Aji will introduce audiences to Paris and its often-missing landmarks to the French Revolution, World War II, and French colonialism. The second session, also led by Janca-Aji, will focus on the remembering and forgetting of racial slavery and colonialism in Martinique. Week three, presented by Assistant Professor of Spanish Laissa Rodríguez Moreno, will examine sites in the Americas that have erased or “repurposed” histories of conquest and repression, including the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán that lies under Mexico City’s Plaza Mayor o Zócalo, a prison in Colombia that became Gorgona Island Natural Park, and a former secret detention and extermination center in Argentina that is now a shopping mall. In the final session, Assistant Professor of Spanish Niall Peach will explore racial and environmental legacies of the Spanish Empire from the stately homes, gardens, and parks of northern Spain to the plantations and Cuban Revolution-era agricultural projects of Cuba. Throughout, the series will explore how narratives of cultural and national identity are created and how observant travelers might better be able to see what is hidden in plain sight.</p><p>Thursday Forum is held in Kesler Auditorium on the first floor of <a data-cke-saved-href="{CCM:BASE_URL}/why-coe/visitor-information/campus-map" href="{CCM%3ABASE_URL}/why-coe/visitor-information/campus-map">Hickok Hall</a>.

The U.S. Constitution
<p>The United States is governed by its Constitution, the country’s basic system of law since 1789, making it the oldest national constitution still in existence. Neither sacred text nor outmoded artifact of the United States’ agrarian past, the US Constitution today functions as a guide to politics and government: it describes positions, articulates essential principles and establishes boundaries. During this four-week forum, Professor of Political Science Bruce Nesmith will discuss the historical origins and “living” nature of the U.S. Constitution. The first two sessions will explore the context in which the Constitution was written, including the history of the early United States, what brought the authors to the 1787 constitutional Convention and the currents of thought they shared and the precedents upon which they drew. We will discuss some of the key issues at the center of the discussions in 1787: the power of the national government, state representation in Congress, selection of officers, the creation of the presidency and approaches to protection of individual rights. In the third week, we will assess the degree to which such issues were resolved in the text of the Constitution. The final session will consider how the Constitution has changed in the years since it went into effect, through the formal amendment process as well as changes in custom and tradition that adapted to changing times.</p><p>Thursday Forum is held in Kesler Auditorium on the first floor of <a data-cke-saved-href="{CCM:BASE_URL}/why-coe/visitor-information/campus-map" href="{CCM%3ABASE_URL}/why-coe/visitor-information/campus-map">Hickok Hall</a>.
