SUMMARY:Second Thursday Lecture Series: Dazed\, Seduced and Transfixed: The Monster Through Time\, in Literature\, and in Our Lives with Shanta Lee         
DESCRIPTION:From Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein to Pu Songling’s The Painted Skin\, to Jordan Peele’s Us\, to Lovecraft Country\, to Monsterland\, and to nearly countless vampire tales\, our culture is filled with manifestations of the monster. These figures span genres from mythology to oral tradition to poetry. Alongside this legacy\, moments of history have sometimes raised the question\, “Who is the monster?”: The creatures we have created on screen and on the page\, or the reflection staring back at us? In this presentation\, poet\, photographer\, and Professor Shanta Lee explores what the monster has meant within literature and what it means within our human interactions. This program brought to you in partnership with Vermont Humanities.

SUMMARY:Second Thursday Lecture Series: Dinosaur Ghosts - Why Aren't There Any? 
DESCRIPTION:Taken as a given that ghosts are real (using both anecdotal and felt evidence) and that dinosaurs were real (using scientific data)\, this lecture asks the hard-hitting questions: how come there are no dinosaur ghosts\, or are there? Join Adult-Programming-Coordinator Jasper Oliver for a whimsical and philosophical PowerPoint © performance that seeks to unravel the nature of this wonder and just perhaps the very structure of reality itself.
