SUMMARY:Bookworm #91 - Author Conversation: Derek Kane O'Leary\, "Archival Communities: Constructing the Past in the Early United States"
DESCRIPTION:Angela Oonk hosts a webinar series featuring topics in American history. This month\, Clements Curator of Manuscripts joins in a discussion with Derek Kane O’Leary about creation of the first archives in the new United States. \nArchives\, the foundational resource for historical research\, do not emerge from a vacuum. What materials are included in the archive\, and why? Whose voices are preserved for posterity\, and whose are silenced? In his book\, Archival Communities: Constructing the Past in the Early United States\, O’Leary takes up this crucial task for the era of the early United States\, arguing that key components of America’s archives emerged from within an Atlantic world of circulating scholars\, evidence\, practices\, and ideas. \nSponsored by Doug Johnson. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				REGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Bookworm #90 - Author Conversation: Don James McLaughlin\, "Phobia and American Literature\, 1705–1937: A Therapeutic History"
DESCRIPTION:Panelists and featured guests discuss history topics with Clements staff in this webinar series. In this conversation\, author Don James McLaughlin explores how phobia — first tied to diseases like hydrophobia (rabies) — became a flexible suffix attached to various fears and social concerns\, shaping political\, medical\, and aesthetic thought from the colonial period through the early 20th century. \nMcLaughlin traces the emergence and evolution of phobia as a concept in American culture long before it became established in modern psychology. McLaughlin challenges the idea that phobia only gained prominence with late-19th-century psychiatry\, showing instead that the term’s roots extend back to early American literary and medical discourses. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				REGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Bookworm #89 - Author Conversation: Molly Beer\, "Angelica: For Love and Country in A Time of Revolution"
DESCRIPTION:Panelists and featured guests discuss history topics with Angela Oonk in this webinar series. \nBy researching and writing the life and experiences of the ambitious\, charismatic Angelica Schuyler Church\, Beer tells the U.S. origin story from the perspective of a woman situated at the heart of the American Revolution and the founding era. \nFew women of the American Revolution have come through 250 years of US history with such clarity and color as Angelica Schuyler Church. She was Alexander Hamilton’s  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				“saucy” sister-in-law\, and the heart of Thomas Jefferson’s “charming coterie” of artists and salonnières in Paris. Her transatlantic network of important friends spanned the political spectrum of her time and place\, and her astute eye and brilliant letters kept them well informed. \nIn telling Angelica’s story\, Beer illuminates how American women have always plied influence and networks for political ends\, including the making of a new nation. \nSponsored by The Alumni Association of the University of Michigan Lifelong Learning program. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				REGISTER NOW
