SUMMARY:We Must All Hang Together: How Revolutionary Americans imagined the United States into being
DESCRIPTION:During the American Revolution\, Americans were not only fighting for independence. They were also trying to imagine what their new nation would look like. Revolutionary leaders such as Benjamin Franklin and George Washington helped promote powerful visual symbols — from flags and seals to allegorical figures like Liberty — that expressed the ideals of the emerging United States and helped unite a diverse population around a shared identity. At the same time\, writers such as the enslaved poet Phillis Wheatley and radical voices like Abigail Adams used words and imagery to challenge Americans to think about who should be included in this new nation. This talk explores how a wide range of Americans helped create the symbols and ideas that allowed people to imagine — and ultimately bring into being — the United States. \n\nEdward J. Blum is a professor of nineteenth-century United States History in the History Department at San Diego State University. He received his B.A. from the University of Michigan and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky. His research\, writing\, and teaching involve politics\, constitutionalism\, war\, society\, and culture in the United States from the founding of the nation through the era of the Civil War. He has particular interests in how numerical information\, data\, demography\, statistics\, and the Census play roles in shaping the course of United States history. \nProfessor Blum is committed to both top-notch scholarship and reaching out to the broader public. He is the author and co-author of several books including War is All Hell: The Nature of Evil and the Civil War (2021)\, Reforging the White Republic: Race\, Religion\, and American Nationalism\, 1865-1898 (2005; reissued 2015)\, W. E. B. Du Bois\, American Prophet (2007)\, and The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America (2012). For these\, he has won the C. Vann Woodward Prize from the Southern Historical Association\,  the Peter Seaborg Award for Civil War Scholarship\, the Gustave O. Arlt Award in the Humanities\, and the John T. Hubbell Prize for best article published in Civil War History in 2015. \nPublicly\, Blum has authored pieces for the New York Times\, CNN\, the Atlantic Monthly\, Newsweek\, and many other outlets. He is also the Project Director for the American Revolution and Constitution History Project at SDSU\, which looks to energize civic and patriotic reflection in San Diego.

SUMMARY:Would You Like Extra Cheese with That?: What we can learn and gain from cheesy horror films
DESCRIPTION:For some\, cheesy horror films elicit eyerolls if not derision. For others\, these films hold a campy\, or even nostalgic\, appeal. Few\, however\, see these films as critically brilliant or as culturally important works of art. With attention to films such as Dracula’s Daughter (1936)\, Satan’s School for Girls (1973)\, VelociPastor (2017)\, and Amityville in Space (2022)\, this talk proposes that in cheesy horror films we actually encounter substance and significance. This talk thus encourages broader ways of both enjoying and appreciating and otherwise approaching these films. \n\nPhillip Serrato (B.A.\, M.A.\, Ph.D. University of California\, Riverside) is an associate professor of English and Comparative Literature at San Diego State University. His research interests include gothic and horror studies\, Chicanx literature\, film\, and performance\, and children’s and YA literature. At the undergraduate level he teaches introductory surveys of children’s and YA literature as well as upper-division special topics courses such as “Cheesy Horror Cinema” and “Stranger Things.” At the graduate level he teaches seminars in Chicanx children’s literature\, children’s gothic and horror literature and film\, and the gothic literary tradition. He is currently at work on a number of research projects\, including a book on gothic literature and media and another on Chicanx children’s literature.
