Broadside Baddies and Tudor True Crime
With the advent of the printing press came the first tabloids. The broadsides were full of lurid tales of murder, adultery, and deviance which captivated the Elizabethans. This fascination with crime expressed itself in emergent forms of art and entertainment, including morbid ballads and "ripped from the broadsides" dramas on the Elizabethan stage. |

Making and Using an Alcohol Burner (Spirit Lamp)
The technology of the oil lamp has been in use since the Neolithic. Once the distillation of alcohol was discovered, likely prior to the 1300s, alcohol also was used to fuel similar lamps that became known as spirit lamps. By the 1500s, the use of such lamps had spread to alchemists in Europe, and they remain in use even today for small-scale heating of materials in the laboratory, in jewelry work, and in many other related arts. In this session I'll talk briefly about the history of their use and will demonstrate how to make and use a spirit lamp for your medieval A&S projects. |

Scandalous Mathematics: The Sordid Past of the Cubic Formula
NO MATH REQUIRED FOR THIS CLASS! This is a class that explores the scandalous history of the cubic formula. The quest to solve cubic equations led to duels, betrayals — and modern mathematics. In the 16th century, algebraic equations were still expressed rhetorically — in words, not symbols — and all coefficients had to be nonnegative, since mathematicians did not recognize negative numbers as legitimate. Students are NOT expected to do any math in this class! This is an informative lecture designed to help foster the appreciation for historical mathematics. |

Animal Trials in Medieval Europe
Curious to learn about criminal canines, lawbreaking locusts, and other farmyard felons? In Medieval Europe, humans were not the only creatures subject to prosecution by secular and ecclesiastical authorities. There are documented cases of animals being put on trial in secular courts for criminal offenses or being censured by the church in religious courts! In this class we will explore this remarkable phenomena by discussing the differences between civil (secular) and canon (religious) trials of animals, as well as actual cases brought against non-human offenders. |

Bloody Minds and Hard Hearts: Women's Work in Old Norse Literature
Revenge schemes, incitements of violence, and bloody feuds are often as not the work of the women in Old Norse literature. These women of the north are starkly unlike their peers in Old English literature; they possess agency. They are not here to plead or comfort, but rather to challenge the male protagonists to take action, to right perceived wrongs. The primary text for this class is _The Cold Counsel: The Women in Old Norse Literature and Myth_ edited by Sarah M. Anderson and Karen Swenson. This class will not be recorded. |

Beekeeping in Early Ireland
“The island abounds in milk and honey” is The Venerable Bede’s praise of Ireland in the opening chapter to The Ecclesiastical History of the English People (731 CE). While the near-contemporary Irish classic Táin Bó Cúailnge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley; ca. 670-725 CE) is a well-known exemplar from whence the milk may come, it is the lesser known, and slightly earlier, Irish law text Bechbretha (‘bee-judgments’; ca. 650 CE) that may inform us as to the honey. This class will explore manuscript, archaeological, artistic, and ethnographic sources to illuminate the culture and practice of beekeeping in Early Ireland. |
