SUMMARY:Profs & Pints: Persephone - Goddess of Spring and the Underworld Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints DC presents: “Goddess of Spring and the Underworld\,” an introduction to the Greek goddess Persephone in her many incarnations\, with Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, former instructors at Ohio State University and co-founders of the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic. \nSara Cleto and Brittany Warman have earned a huge following among Profs and Pints fans by delivering fantastic talks on folklore\, myths\, legends\, and fantasy. Profs and Pints is ecstatic to announce that\, after a pandemic-inducted hiatus of more than two years\, they’re going to be back on its stage in Washington D.C. \nFittingly\, the first of the two talks they’ll be delivering on June 12th delves into themes of dormancy and reemergence\, by looking at the spring goddess Persephone and the many ways in which she has inspired the human imagination. \nThe story of Hades and Persephone is one of the most famous—and most retold—episodes in Greek mythology. Persephone’s abduction\, her interlude in the Underworld\, and her partial return to the world above have inspired statues and webcomics\, ancient cults and contemporary poetry. Thousands of years after her tale was first told\, we’re still fascinated by this goddess. \nSara and Brittany will discuss how Persephone’s appeal lies in her liminality in being caught between two very different worlds and lives. She represents spring\, renewal\, and rebirth because Earth blooms with her return\, but she’s also the Queen of the Underworld. From a 21st-century perspective\, she’s basically a goth girl adorned with a flower crown. \nThey’ll also look at Persephone’s mythic roots\, including their connections to the Eleusinian Mysteries. And then we’ll dive into some of the ways that Persephone has been revised and retold in recent years\, from the Tony award-winning musical Hadestown to the webcomic Lore Olympus to memes and fairy tales and fashion. \nAfter all\, why be just one thing when you can be the queen of spring and darkness?

SUMMARY:Profs and Pints: How Mad Scientists Are Made Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints DC presents: “How Mad Scientists are Made\,” a look at monstrous experiments and quests for forbidden knowledge in literature\, folklore\, and film\, with Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, former instructors at Ohio State University and co-founders of The Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic.  \n“It’s alive!” the Dr. Frankenstein of films exclaimed. And so too was—and remains—one of our culture’s most intriguing tropes\, the figure of the “mad scientist.” \nBut what\, exactly\, does it mean to be a mad scientist? With no university listing “mad science” among its degree programs\, how does one qualify for that title?   \nStep into DC’s Bier Baron Tavern and prepare to learn with the help of Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman\, two favorites of Profs and Pints fans back on the stage for the first time in more than two years. Their talk will be about as much fun as you can have without getting hauled out of chemistry class and expelled from school.  \nThey will look at how\, even before the term “mad scientist” existed\, such figures filled the pages of folklore\, thrillers\, and even fairy tales. These iconic characters’ incessant pursuit of knowledge unites them and dooms them\, reflecting both the innovation and hubris of humankind.   \nDr. Cleto and Dr. Warman will reacquaint you with Dr. Jekyll\, who attempts to perfect himself but instead creates a monstrous double that consumes him\, and Dr. Moreau\, who blurs the line between the human and the animal. You’ll spend time with Watho\, the witch of the fairy tale “The Day Boy and the Night Girl\,” who performs elaborate experiments on children\, and with Dr. Raymond of the novella The Great God Pan\, who attempts to infuse a human body with a god.    \nThough society has advanced and science has progressed since these early figures\, the mad scientist remains a staple of stories that ask “What happens when we go too far?” In the strange and unsettling 1940s novella The Invention of Morel\, a mad scientist attempts immortality via technology at an impossible cost. More recent iterations of the mad scientist can be found in contemporary films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind\, the movies of the Spiderman franchise\, and even Ghostbusters. \nYou’ll get to know these characters\, as well as others\, in an environment known for pint glasses rather than test tubes.
