SUMMARY:Trading Knowledge: Traditional Herbal Medicines at Bartram’s Garden and Beyond SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Knowledge transfer was crucial in early America as colonists developed their understanding of native plants using information shared by Indigenous peoples. John Bartram’s work and legacy was very likely shaped by his encounters with Indigenous peoples and traders who provided insight on the appearance and functions of native American plants\, many of which are growing at Bartram’s Garden today. \nThis free 90-minute tour of Bartram’s Garden and the Native Medicinal Plant display will be accompanied by a group discussion of traditional ecological knowledge\, family knowledge\, and storytelling in the United States today.

SUMMARY:Private Finance\, Public Power: A Free Talk on the History of Bank Supervision in America
DESCRIPTION:Banks may be private\, profit-driven institutions—but the public has always shaped the risks they take and paid the price when they fail.\nPrivate Finance\, Public Power explores this uneasy partnership over two centuries of American history\, from the wildcat banks of the early republic to the rise of federal deposit insurance and modern financial regulation. \nWharton professor Peter Conti-Brown and historian Sean Vanatta bring this story to life with colorful characters and surprising moments: rogues looting failed banks\, con artists posing as government examiners\, bribes paid in oyster dinners\, and reformers struggling to build order out of chaos. Through repeated crises and improvisation\, today’s complex banking oversight system emerged—flawed\, strained\, but largely functional. \nIn this talk\, Wharton professor Peter Conti-Brown explores why this history matters for understanding the challenges facing U.S. banking today. \nThis event will be held in room 131/132 on the first floor of the Heim Center.

SUMMARY:Design A Doodad: Travel Game Zine
DESCRIPTION:BARRIO TELEVISION (work in progress) by Christina DiPasquale\n(USA\, 2026\, TBD) \nBARRIO TELEVISION uncovers the story of Puerto Rican activists who produced the first bilingual Latino television series to air nationwide called “Realidades.” After tracing U.S. complicity in the 1973 coup in Chile\, “Realidades” received backlash and the Nixon administration moved to cut public-media funding\, knocking the show off the air. Undeterred\, the creators mounted a comeback—training media makers in Philadelphia\, organizing a media coalition\, and sparking a fight for media power that continues to this day. \nChristina DiPasquale is a Colombian-American storyteller based in Philadelphia dedicated to advancing participatory media practices rooted in collective memory and movement-building.

The event is free and open to the public\, and parking is available across Orthodox Street at the Frankford Friends School. Light refreshments will be served after the lecture. \nThe Science History Institute is a free museum in Old City Philadelphia with some fascinating stuff. This talk explores surprising stories behind a few remarkable things from the collections. Why did Beatrix Potter draw mice around a Bunsen burner dreaming of toasted cheese? What can we learn about the history of plastic from a washed-up Lego dragon\, an ESPN producer’s vuvuzela\, and a song by Shel Silverstein? Added together\, these stories illustrate some of the ways that science and technology have created the world we live in today. \nRoger Turner is the curator of instruments and artifacts at the Science History Institute in Philadelphia\, USA. He studies the role of science in our daily lives\, from chemistry labs to pollution control to weather forecasting. Among his recent exhibits are “How to Read a Plastic Bag\,” and “Astroturf: Field of Contention.” His favorite scientific instrument is a spectrometer that has a label warning users about its “emotional crisis detector”.
