THE DUST BOWL: THE SCIENCE, ECONOMICS, AND POLITICS OF AN AMERICAN ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER Allan Converse | Ph.D. in Comparative History, Brandeis University

During the 1930s, the Plains region of the United States was struck by a drought of historic proportions. The drought combined with the high winds typical of the region produced enormous dust storms which carried the soil of the Plains as far as the East Coast. This so- called “Dust Bowl” was the worst environmental and climatological disaster in the history of the United States. It cost billions of dollars, ruined large areas, led to significant economic changes, and produced a major folk migration from the Plains to the Pacific Coast. Over 90 years later some regions of the Plains have still not recovered from the Dust Bowl, but explanations and interpretations of the event di‹er.

WRITING WORKSHOP: LINKED SHORT STORIES

ESSAYS FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES

Rosalie Davis | M.L.A. in Humanities, Harvard University

Why write? Perhaps you have an essay due for a course, a cover letter for a job application, or a desire to journal. The primary reason to write is so that you can formulate and organize a well-informed, coherent, and sophisticated set of idea Ideas change the world, especially when they are written and read by those after you. Through various prompts, we will sharpen your writing, researching, and critical thinking skills, so that you may apply them to any aspect of your life that requires writing (including, but not limited to, academic essays).

The linked story collection is an enduring American genre, from Hemingway’s In Our Time to Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies. O‹ering an open, intuitive form to build a composite work of discrete narratives, these “novels in stories” tend to unfold chronologically and are strongly linked to a place. This intermediate workshop is for prose writers familiar with the basic elements of short fiction and story collections.

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.

$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.

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FRENCH LANGUAGE?

HOW DID YOU FIND YOUR WAY TO CCAE?

My “love affair” with French began in India when I was in 8th grade and we were given the option to choose between an Indian language and French. It was a time when the Indian economy was closed to any kind of foreign investment and we were also culturally quite isolated from foreign cultures. The idea of learning a foreign language offered a glimpse into a world that was fun, exciting, and exotic for a 13-year-old.

CCAE was a natural choice for me as I have taken classes here myself and it is also a local non-profit organization. I think that folks come to CCAE not just to learn but also to build connections and feel part of a community. They in turn inspire me by setting bold goals for themselves and showing that we can and must continue to learn at any age… That is also perhaps why I connect deeply with them, because I like to think of myself as a lifelong student of the French language and culture.

HOW DID YOUR INTERESTS TRANSFER INTO YOUR CAREER PATH? It turned out I was quite good at the language and continued to learn French in school and college for the next five years. While pursuing a degree in business and accounting, I studied at the Alliance Française in Mumbai and started becoming a fluent French speaker. I went on to complete my master’s degree in French with the idea of pursuing a career in teaching. I tremendously enjoyed teaching and simultaneously had the opportunity to work as an interpreter for assignments both locally and abroad.

CAN YOU SHARE AN ANECDOTE THAT BEST EMBODIES YOUR EXPERIENCE AT CCAE? It is always rewarding to hear from students how much they enjoyed and benefited from my classes. This past spring, three students were finally able to travel to France. They took a photograph together in Paris and sent it to me with the caption: “See what a community you built!” That fills up my heart and is one of the nicest compliments I have ever received. I am grateful to CCAE for making it possible to build meaningful connections even in these incredibly hard times.
