WHAT MAKES HARVARD SQUARE A SQUARE?

Boston By Foot

Charles Bahne | Boston Historian

From the 1600s to the mid-1900s, women’s contributions to Boston were often under-recognized. Who were these Bostonians and what achievements have been overlooked? Including women of mixed classes, lines of work, and domestic lives, their passions and professions ranged widely from creative survival to medicine, nutrition, education, art, literature, philanthropy, gender rights, and more. Overall, this tour acknowledges the steps these women took in making Boston and America what they are today. Meeting point: At the corner of Tremont and Court Streets, in front of the entrance to the Government Center MBTA station.

Harvard Square has been an intellectual and cultural center for nearly four centuries now. Join us as we explore the haunts of Joan Baez and Bruce Springsteen, Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and T. S. Eliot. We’ll see the Gold Coast, a castle and a horsecar barn, and the First Church and the First Parish (and learn why they split). Walk the square and learn why this part of Cambridge is one of the most fascinating places in the world. Meeting point: Courtyard of 42 Brattle Street.

HISTORY & CONTEMPORARY ISSUES

THE BOSTON FOODIE REVOLUTION James O’Connell | Ph.D. in Urban History, University of Chicago

$1,000+

Boston’s “gourmet revolution” of the 1970’s started our area on a journey to innovative, multi-cultural, and farm-to-table cuisine. In pursuit of high-quality, adventuresome food, Boston and Cambridges’ culinary entrepreneurs have popularized casual and craft food, elevating it to an art and appealing to locals’ love for homegrown bites and brews.

Using menus to guide us, we will trace the development of Greater Boston’s contemporary food culture.

WERE THEY REALLY THE DARK AGES? THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES (500-1000 AD/CE) Anatole Sykley | Historian and Member of the WWI Historical Society Were the Early Middle Ages from 500 AD a “dark” era lacking social and intellectual progress? This era has many surprises.

As pieces of the old Roman Empire in the west struggled for stability, monarchs such as Charlemagne the Great arose. In the east Byzantine rulers held on and even expanded. Bookish monks in the west and curious Islamic scholars in the east, preserved classical learning, making some progress, despite the ravages of Viking and Bulgar raiders, plagues and superstitions.

I never let my schooling interfere with my education.

WHY DO YOU WRITE?

JANE KATIMS

I write to give shape to experience and to discover feelings and thoughts that otherwise might elude me. The more I write, the more I am tuned in to people and places. My senses are sharpened, I’m more alert.

CCAE INSTRUCTOR AND AUTHOR OF UNTIL NOW & DANCING ON A SLIPPERY FLOOR

WHAT IS THE KEY TO GOOD WRITING, AND HOW DO YOU RELATE THAT TO YOUR STUDENTS?

M.ED

Good writing derives from a free flow of thoughts and feelings. I tell my students: Don’t censor yourselves.

Don’t overthink your narratives. Your first draft may seem like a rough blob of clay — but soon you will see how to transform it into a satisfying shape.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING AT CCAE AND WHY DO YOU LIKE TEACHING HERE? I’ve been teaching at CCAE since the mid-80’s. I love the students here.

CCAE students come to class seeking community as well as learning. They care as much about helping their colleagues as about helping themselves.

Harvard Square 42 Brattle Street Cambridge MA 02138 T (617) 547-6789 E info@ccae.org  ccae.org

WHY WAS THE BOOK UNTIL NOW IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO WRITE? The linked stories in the collection are derived from my life and revolve around the experience of my mother’s illness and death when I was a teenager. The stories document the struggle to move on with my life in spite of that loss. The stories show, I hope, the need for resiliency and the rewards that come from persevering through hard times.

WHO INSPIRES YOU AND WHY? In addition to my students, from whom I am always learning, I am inspired by writers like Alice Munro, who have devoted their lives to the craft of story writing. I’m inspired, as well, by writers like Tobias Wolff and George Saunders, who value the mentoring of writers as much as they value writing itself. www.janekatims.com Learn more about Until Now: store.bookbaby.com/book/until-now
