SUMMARY:Fierce Desires: Variation\, Conflict\, and Pleasure in the History of America
DESCRIPTION:From puritans to polyamory\, Professor Rebecca Davis explores the story of America’s sexual past.\n\n\nIn the United States today\, we have government decrees that there are only two sexes\, debates about “trad wives” and polyamory\, and frequent references to the nation’s “puritan” past. But in her latest book—and in this talk—Professor Rebecca L. Davis argues that seventeenth-century Puritans are a weak precedent for how the history of sexuality has unfolded in the United States. Into the 1800s\, the United States was far more welcoming of gender nonconformity and same-sex/queer desires than we might presume. Instead\, a significant shift occurred in the late nineteenth century\, when anti-obscenity and anti-immigration legislation vastly expanded the federal government’s investment in shaping sexual morality. The history that unfolds is far less about prudish puritans than shifting sexual values. Our contemporary conflicts over sex and gender highlight the power of this surprising history. \nRebecca L. Davis is the Miller Family Early Career Professor of History and an associate professor of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Delaware. She is a historian of marriage\, religion\, sexuality\, and politics in the United States. In addition to Fierce Desires: A New History of Sex and Sexuality in America\, she is author of Public Confessions: The Religious Conversions that Changed American Politics and More Perfect Unions: The American Search for Marital Bliss\, and the co-editor of Heterosexual Histories. She is also a podcast host and producer and writes the newsletter Carnal Knowledge\, which explains the history behind today’s headlines about gender\, sexuality\, and American politics. \nPenn State Great Valley strives to host inclusive\, accessible events that enable all individuals in our community to engage fully. The campus includes accessible and gender neutral restroom\, dedicated parking spaces\, elevators\, lactation room\, step-free access\, and a complimentary wheelchair.

SUMMARY:Our House is on Fire Exhibit Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the power of art to inspire environmental action and advocate for a greener\, healthier future!\n\n\nArtists are often inspired by nature and create art out of the outstanding natural beauty all around us. We are now at a critical juncture where we need to advocate for harnessing our imagination\, wealth\, and technology to make our communities and our country greener and healthier places for everyone to live.

What are we to do? \nWe need clean air\, clean water\, clean energy\, open spaces and a livable climate for ourselves and future generations. Linda Dubin Garfield\, Pamela Tudor\, Elsa Wachs\, Chantal Westby\, and Fran Lightman Gibson interpret these catastrophic times and present works in their own visual language that strive to create an appreciation for natural beauty and a concern for its preservation. \nThis exhibit will be on display October 21 – December 18. \nPenn State Great Valley strives to host inclusive\, accessible events that enable all individuals in our community to engage fully. The campus includes accessible and gender neutral restroom\, dedicated parking spaces\, elevators\, lactation room\, step-free access\, and a complimentary wheelchair.
