When Herbert Baxter Adams founded the Department of Historical and Political Sciences in 1876, he launched the "scientific" study of the past as a discipline of university research. This talk addresses Adams's methods and the subsequent work he and his students produced and explores how, as the two fields—history and political science—became separate disciplines, their methods remained entangled well into the 20th century.

Join this exploration of queer and trans identities across history through historic postcards that offer powerful evidence of queer presence in the past. In dialogue with these archival materials, musicians and local drag artists will bring the past into conversation with the present through performance, storytelling, and fashion. Registration opens at 10 a.m. on April 30.
