SUMMARY:Arizona Goes to the Moon - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:Arizona played a key role in preparing to send humans to the moon in the late 1960s/early 1970s. The Apollo astronauts themselves traveled to the Grand Canyon and volcanic fields around the state to learn geology and practice their lunar excursions. Meanwhile\, U.S. Geological Survey engineers worked with NASA staff members to develop and test instruments while artists joined forces with scientists to create detailed maps of the moon that were critical to navigating around lunar surface. \nKevin Schindler is an award-winning educator and writer who has worked for more than 20 years at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. He was sheriff of the Flagstaff Corral of Westerners for 14 years and a board member of the Flagstaff Festival of Science for 16 years. Combining a dual passion for history and science\, he has presented hundreds of educational programs\, authored four books\, written more than 400 magazine and newspaper articles\, and contributes a bi-weekly astronomy column for the Arizona Daily Sun.

SUMMARY:Mysticism – A Medieval Quest for Spiritual Epiphany - Tucson
DESCRIPTION:Throughout time\, but especially in the Middle Ages\, individuals have been graced with visions\, i.e.\, personal experiences with God or other saintly beings. Since the twelfth century\, European mystics (especially women)\, reported about out-of-body experiences in which their souls were graced with a direct\, personal encounter with the Godhead\, which granted them unique and unheard-of authority. This talk will explore the meaning/history of mysticism and present its salient features through music and images\, reflecting on individuals such as Hildegard of Bingen oder Catherine of Siena. This talk addresses both religious phenomena and also highlights unique aspects in women’s lives. \nAlbrecht Classen is University Distinguished Professor of German Studies at The University of Arizona. He has researched and taught a wide variety of topics focusing on the European Middle Ages\, the history of the Southwest (history of German-Speaking Jesuits)\, and the culture and history of Germany/Austria/Switzerland. He has published close to 80 books and close to 600 articles. He is the editor of two journals\, Mediaevistik and Humanities Open Access.

SUMMARY:The Explorations and Discoveries of George Bird Grinnell\, The Father of Glacier National Park
DESCRIPTION:The great West that George Bird Grinnell first encountered in 1870 as a 21-year old man was shortly to disappear before his eyes. Nobody was quicker to sense the desecration or was more eloquent in crusading against the poachers\, the hidehunters\, and the disengaged U.S. Congress than George Bird Grinnell\, the “Father of American Conservation.” Grinnell founded the first Audubon Society\, cofounded the Boone and Crockett Club with Teddy Roosevelt\, and led the effort to establish Glacier National Park. Audiences will travel back in time to the 19th century\, listening to Grinnell’s own words as taken from his field journals\, memoirs\, personal correspondence\, and newspaper editorials. \nHugh Grinnell received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The University of Arizona.  Since his retirement in 2004\, Grinnell has studied the history of the great American West.   After discovering an old Great Northern Railway (GNR) passenger car named “Grinnell Glacier\,” he researched the car’s name\, only to learn that the glacier was named in honor of the efforts of George Bird Grinnell\, a distant cousin of Grinnell’s who was a naturalist and explorer.  Grinnell continues to carry on his research of George Bird Grinnell and the Grinnell family\, writing articles and producing DVDs.  In 2010\, he presented “Saving the Great American West” at the annual convention of the GNR Historical Society and 100th anniversary of the establishment of Glacier National Park\, held in Glacier National Park.
