Irving Berlin's White Christmas

Are you one of those people who feels like it's not Christmas unless you watch the 1954 film classic White Christmas? Do you get ridiculously excited when the movie plays nearby on the big screen? Can you perform the (sometimes corny, sometimes repetitive) dialogue along with the actors? Have you ever made a ski slope with a white napkin and stems of rosemary? Well--if you answered yes to any--or all--of these questions, you're not weird and you're not alone! Join me to learn more about the movie, the people who made it, and maybe even a little about liverwurst and buttermilk.

The Conquest of Mexico: A Historical Reenactment

Using the innovative pedagogical tool known as Reacting to the Past, this course features a highly-participatory reenactment of the moment of Conquest in Mexico in 1519. Each participant inhabits a specific historical role based on a real historical protagonist or a fictitious composite character, to be assigned during the first meeting. Participants research their role and act out specific scenarios over two distinct game sessions. By giving speeches, making proposals, and negotiating alliances, participants may change the course of history.
