Declared a National Historic Landmark in 2006, “Carrie”, as it’s affectionately known, entices visitors to marvel at the scale and legacy of its industrial might. A remnant of the legendary U.S. Steel Homestead Steel Works, the Carrie Blast Furnaces are a vestige of Pittsburgh’s 20th-century domination of the steel industry. During this two-hour guided tour, you’ll hear stories about the site’s technology (including why it is nationally significant) as well as get to know the culture of its workers. You’ll also learn a bit about the iron-making process, from the movement of the raw materials to the tapping of the furnaces that produced fiery molten iron.
Please note, this is not a totally accessible tour. There are steps involved and uneven terrain. If you have walking difficulty, there may be places where you will not be able to go. Please keep this in mind.
Fee: $16 (Members only; up to maximum enrollment of 50)

In this talk we will review three areas in genetic genealogy which we frequently face some interesting ethical questions: the relevance of genetic genealogy in exploring/addressing a family story/myth/scandal; when we discover that genetic data challenges (or even disproves) a deeply-held/cherished belief in a family-of-interest; and when emerging uses of technological advances in genetic genealogy create new opportunities/concerns/challenges. This talk will address the technology of genetic genealogy at a basic level but will push us to consider the broader ethical and social responsibility challenges of how the technology is being used.
Ray Jones, PhD is a professor in the Katz School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh who has a deep personal interest in genealogy and genetic genealogy along with nearly three decades of published historical and social science research on a variety of topics and a focus on experience-based learning in teaching leadership, ethics and management.

Born in Pittsburgh to a devout Byzantine Catholic family, Andy Warhol grew up attending multiple weekly services at his local church with his mother, Julia Warhola. In the Warhola family's Carpatho-Rusyn neighborhood, life revolved around the church community, and the young artist was deeply impacted from this environment. From iconic portraits of celebrities to appropriated Renaissance masterpieces, Warhol flirted with styles and symbolism from Eastern and Western Catholic art history, carefully reframing them within the context of Pop. Using The Andy Warhol Museum's robust holdings of the artist's early works, the presentation will trace the influence of his religious roots in Pittsburgh to his Pop career in New York City. This course is inspired by the 2019 exhibition, Andy Warhol: Revelation.
Grace Marston is an arts educator at the Andy Warhol Museum. She has worked at the museum for over ten years and aspires to become the preeminent Warhol scholar of her generation. She has conducted gallery talks, tours, and workshops for audiences of all ages and backgrounds. She specializes in LGBTQ+ education, senior education, and research projects.
