Here's a great look at some of the work being done by Dr. Kathleen Smythe of the History Department and other students and faculty at Xavier!
A group of Xavier faculty, staff and students have been embarking on field trips around the Cincinnati area this spring.
The goal? To learn more about sustainability practices, reducing waste, alternatives to consumerism and the natural world around us.

History of Beer alert! This looks like a great opportunity to interact virtually with the Newberry Library in Chicago
Civil unrest always carries context, sometimes across oceans & decades.
In October I'll lead a virtual @NewberryLibrary seminar about the 30-yr journey of Chicago's Lager Beer Riot, and the role of beer & violence in creating ethnic agency.

How cool is this? Digging through some micro-film archives at @cincylibrary and came across a political cartoon for the 1st Crosstown Shootout in 1928.
Who knew at the time this would turn into one of the biggest rivalries in College Basketball?
