Profs & Pints Nashville: World War I and the Middle East

  • Fait La Force Brewing Company (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Profs and Pints Nashville presents: “World War I and the Middle East,” on an often-overlooked theater of the Great War and its long-term impact on global affairs, with Andrew Patrick, professor of history at Tennessee State University and scholar of American engagement with the Ottoman Empire.

[Doors open at 6 pm. Talk starts at 7.]

When we think of World War I we often think of filthy trenches, futile assaults, and stagnant battle lines in France and Belgium. The experience was much different, however, beyond the Western Front.

Gain a deep understanding of how the war was fought in Ottoman lands, and how the outcome of the conflict there continues to have a profound impact on our world today, when Profs and Pints restages an excellent talk on that subject at Fait La Force on September 16th. 

Professor Andrew Patrick, who has written a book and several articles on World War I in the Middle East and teaches courses on World War I and Middle East and global history, will give you a much richer understanding of the war in Ottoman lands than you might have gleaned from watching classic films like Gallipoli or Lawrence of Arabia.

He’ll talk about how historians increasingly place the Ottoman Empire at the center of the First World War’s origins, and how the conflict in Ottoman lands lasted far longer than the war itself, arguably from 1911 until 1922.

You’ll learn how the character of the conflict on Ottoman lands differed substantially from fighting elsewhere—even though it was similarly gruesome. Along with warfare, people in the region faced ethnic cleansing, famine, and even locusts.

By 1922, European imperial powers finally accomplished the violent dismantling of the Ottoman Empire, replacing it with unwanted colonial rule, fragile states, and the beginnings of a “national home” for European Jews. In doing so they gave birth to the modern Middle East and ensured that the region would experience instability in the ensuing century. The consequences of their actions still haunt us today.

Profs & Pints Nashville: The Odyssey’s Journey

  • Fait La Force Brewing Company (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Profs and Pints Nashville presents: “The Odyssey’s Journey,” on an epic poem and its many cultural destinations, with Chiara Sulprizio, principal senior lecturer in Classical and Mediterranean Studies at Vanderbilt University and teacher of courses on Greek mythology and on Homer and the Trojan War.

Christopher Nolan’s hit film adaptation of The Odyssey is but the latest of countless creative works that Homer’s epic poem has inspired over the past 2500 years. If seeing—or planning to see—the new film has left you yearning for a refresher on Homer’s poem and a discussion of why it resonates so powerfully, you’ll want to set a course for Nashville’s Fait La Force taproom.

Speaking on Homer’s foundational text and its enduring legacy will be Chiara Sulprizio, a scholar of the classics and antiquity who previously has given excellent Profs and Pints talks on Roman gladiators and ancient Greek romance.

We’ll start by reviewing some of the basics about the Odyssey’s authorship, structure, and main characters. Then we’ll dive into a deeper discussion of its central themes, including nostos, or homecoming, and its relationship to Odysseus’ kleos, or glory. 

We’ll look at Odysseus’ role as a different kind of hero and his signature quality of metis, or cleverness. You’ll become familiar with xenia, or the law of hospitality, and its importance to social relations in ancient Greece. 

Dr. Sulprizio also will examine the central role of female figures like Penelope, Nausicaa, Calypso and Circe, who serve as both helpers and harmers in the poem.

Finally, we will explore the relationship between Homer’s epic and Nolan’s film, considering what Nolan changed, what he left out, and what stayed the same. We will also look at Nolan's choices in light of those made by other filmmakers who have adapted the epic, such as the Coen Brothers in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) and more recently, Uberto Pasolini in The Return (2024). 

In each instance, we will ponder the broader messages that these works want to convey to their audiences about love, war, and the human condition. We also will examine what they tell us about the similarities and differences between life in the modern world and life in late Bronze Age Greece.

Profs & Pints: Nature’s Hidden Logic

  • Fait La Force Brewing Company (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Event Details

Profs and Pints Nashville presents: “Nature’s Hidden Logic,” a look at natural selection and evolution are being harnessed to solve today’s problems, with Owen Jones, professor of law and of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University and author of Force of Nature: Understanding Evolution's Deepest Logic—and Putting It to Use.

[Doors open at 6 pm. Talk starts at 7.]

Research shows that deep misconceptions about how natural selection actually works are surprisingly common, even among biology teachers and medical students. 

Those misunderstandings don't just affect our understanding of the past. They also can cost us opportunities and undermine our efforts to reach our goals. They sometimes even imperil lives, having previously led us, for example, to rely on cancer treatments that actually made cancer stronger. 

Join Vanderbilt professor Owen Jones for a talk that will show you how natural selection is far more than a process that helped shape life on Earth. It is one of nature's most powerful problem-solving frameworks and one of today's most underused tools for innovation. NASA, for example, designed a better satellite antenna using evolution rather than engineering alone.

Drawing on fascinating examples from medicine, artificial intelligence, engineering, psychology, economics, law, and beyond, Professor Jones will show how evolutionary thinking is already helping scientists improve cancer treatments, design remarkable new technologies, and solve problems that have resisted conventional approaches.

You'll leave with a new understanding of how natural selection actually works and why it matters far beyond biology. You’ll see how thinking more like nature can help us build smarter technologies, wiser policies, and a more resilient future. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID.)

Event Details

This talk has completely sold out in advance and no door tickets will be available.

Profs and Pints Nashville presents: “The Hospitals of Civil War Nashville,” on the city’s days as an epicenter of care for victims of strife, with Brandon Hulette, epidemiologist, historian, and associate professor at Vanderbilt University.

[Doors open at 6 pm. Talk starts at 7.]

Today’s Nashville is known as the “Healthcare Capital of the World,” being home to several hospitals, three medical schools, and more than 900 healthcare companies ranging from industry giants like HCA to a vibrant array of startups. However, the city’s history as a major healthcare provider began long before today’s big players came into being, having its origins in a period of devastating national conflict.

During the Civil War, Nashville was home to over 26 military hospitals serving the sick and injured from both the Union and Confederate armies throughout the conflict. Its massive complex of hospitals served over 100,000 patients during the war, and it served 20 to 30 percent of all Confederate soldiers in need of care even after Nashville was occupied by the U.S. Army in 1861.

Hear the fascinating story of Nashville's Civil War Hospitals from Vanderbilt professor and Army Medical Service Corps Officer Brandon Hulette. He’ll describe how all of this came to be, he’ll tell the stories of the people involved, and he’ll point out locations in Nashville where Civil War hospitals existed.

You’ll learn how as the war progressed Nashville became known as one of the most important cities for military medicine. It even had a dedicated hospital train to move wounded to the city.

You’ll gain an appreciation of the rich history of the city and the noble origins of its commitment to healthcare. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID.)

Profs & Pints: A Guide to Conceptual Art

Profs & Pints: A Guide to Conceptual Art

Profs and Pints Nashville presents: “A Guide to Conceptual Art,” on the origins and evolution of an art movement that produced signed urinals, floating sheds, and wall-mounted bananas, with Jennifer Gagliardi, independent curator and contemporary art lecturer at Middle Tennessee State University and Pratt Institute in New York.

[Doors open at 6 pm. Talk starts at 7.]

Few art movements have met with as much buzz and backlash as conceptual art, associated with installations and performances that often leave people scratching their heads or deep in thought.

Come to Nashville’s Fait La Force taproom for a talk on conceptual art that will deepen your appreciation and understanding of it. We’ll consider works such as Martin Creed’s empty room with lights going on and off, Maurizio Bolognini’s programming of computers to generate images no human will ever view, and Tracey Emin’s exhibition of an unmade bed, exploring their deeper meaning.

To frame her discussion, Gagliardi will talk about how the history of art is big and wild, with the first work of "art" technically being made around 28,000 BCE. When we think about art, we often consider paintings, sculptures, or digital objects, but Marcel Duchamp sparked a radical shift in the art world by presenting a urinal as art in 1917. After World War II, artist groups began experimenting with the very definition of art, and by the 1970s, the focus had shifted from the finished product to the idea of art itself.

We’ll look at how art and philosophy blended in the 20th century to inspire conceptual artists to transform art from functional object to form of intellectual entertainment, favoring idea over physical product. Gagliardi will discuss Japan’s avant-garde Gutai artists, who ran through paper, as well as works focused on the conceptual definition of a chair. 

We’ll talk about Yves Klein’s exhibition of an empty gallery and Clement Greenberg’s theories on avant-garde and kitsch. Attendees will come away with a new understanding of some of contemporary art’s most famous—and seemingly impenetrable—works.

Among the questions Gagliardi will tackle: Is art the concept or is it the finished piece? (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID.)

Profs and Pints: Understanding Urban Legends
Jul

6:00 PM18:00

Profs and Pints: Understanding Urban Legends

Profs and Pints Nashville presents: “Understanding Urban Legends,” an exploration of the tales we tell to terrify each other, with Cory Thomas Hutcheson, folklorist, lecturer at Middle Tennessee State University, and author of New World Witchery: A Trove of North American Folk Magic.

[Doors open at 6 pm. Talk starts at 7.]

The call is coming from inside Fait La Force! Or if it were, anyway, it would summon you to sit at one of the beloved taproom’s tables for a summertime treat: A talk about that modern folktales that get circulated around campfires, on school playgrounds, and in the dark corners of the internet.

Folklorist Cory Thomas Hutcheson, whose reputation for giving excellent talks has earned him a following among Nashville’s Profs and Pints fans, will give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of urban legends—also called contemporary legends—than you have ever had before.

You’ll recognize something hauntingly familiar as he talks about a hook-handed killer terrorizing teenage lovers out for a drive, or the person who woke up in a tub full of ice possessing one less kidney, or a shadowy figure shown by an ongoing trucker’s headlights to be in the backseat of a car.

But he’ll also lead you deeper into such lore, discussing where such tales come from and the deeper meanings that drive them and keep them alive via word-of-mouth or their online circulation on subreddits.

You’ll gain an understanding of how these stories connect to bigger issues in the culture around us. 

You’ll see how anxieties about disease and contagion became stories about food contamination or about vicious ghosts wearing medical masks, and how both teen and adult fears about teens growing up too fast became tales of amorous adolescents pursued by sadistic killers. 

You’ll also learn a bit about how these tales change over time with different tellings and tellers, and whether troubling facts lurk within any such fictional accounts. You'll encounter murderous bathroom ghosts, traverse the haunting liminal-space lore that inspired the new hit film Backrooms, and meet the infamous Slenderman.

Just make sure you check your backseat before you start driving home. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID.)

Profs and Pints: A Campy Summer Evening

Profs and Pints: A Campy Summer Evening

Profs and Pints Nashville presents: “A Campy Summer Evening,” on a distinct style and its history, politics, and pleasures, with Stephanie A. Graves, lecturer in English at Middle Tennessee State University and scholar of film, television, and media.

[Doors open at 6 pm. Talk starts at 7.]

When something is called “campy,” what does that mean? What exactly is camp style, and why does it remain so culturally provocative? 

Throw on something outlandish and come to Nashville’s Fait La Force taproom to hear answers delivered by Stephanie Graves, whose past talks have earned her a loyal following among Profs and Pints fans.

She’ll look at camp in film, television, fashion, music, and popular culture, moving from Oscar Wilde to Trixie Mattel, from classic Hollywood melodrama to contemporary internet memes.

In defining camp, she’ll describe its association with excess, drama, irony, and artifice. She’ll discuss how it’s evoked in the play with gender and sexuality in Rocky Horror Picture Show, in the visual excess and exaggerated style of Pee Wee’s Playhouse, and in art as varied as Wilde’s plays and Lady Gaga’s concerts.

We’ll look at how camp thrives in the spaces where “good” and “bad” taste and “high” and “low” art collapse into one another, such as in John Waters’s Hairspray and Pink Flamingos, in RuPaul’s Drag Race, and in the films of Baz Luhrmann. More than just an aesthetic of flamboyance or kitsch, camp emphasizes stylization, performance, and spectacle in ways that deliberately provoke cultural norms of respectability and decorum. 

You’ll learn how the tenets of camp were widely popularized by writer Susan Sontag in her influential 1964 essay “Notes on Camp.” In reality, however, camp’s history stretches back much further, emerging from queer subcultures of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and flourishing in spaces where humor, performance, parody, and coded self-expression became tools of survival for marginalized communities. It was carried forward in the glamour of old Hollywood stars, the theatricality of disco and drag culture, the hyper-femininity of contemporary pop icons, and in the pleasures of cult films and television.

We’ll consider why camp continues to resonate—and why exaggeration, artifice, and “bad taste” still carries surprising cultural power. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID.)

Profs & Pints Nashville: Ancient Tattooing
Jun

6:00 PM18:00

Profs & Pints Nashville: Ancient Tattooing

Profs and Pints Nashville presents: “Ancient Tattooing,” on tattooing traditions around the world and throughout human history, with Aaron Deter-Wolf, archaeologist with the Tennessee Division of Archaeology, visiting fellow with the University of Southampton, and leading scholar of ancient tattooing.

[Doors open at 6 pm. Talk starts at 7.]

Dr. Aaron Deter-Wolf has spent two decades working alongside other archaeologists, tattoo artists, and indigenous researchers to record ancient, preserved tattoos and to understand the artifacts and methods of tattooing in the distant past. Profs and Pints is bringing him to Nashville’s Fait La Force taproom to give a talk on the rapidly developing field of “tattoo archaeology.” 

He’ll describe how archaeological evidence for tattooing dates back at least 5,000 years, and includes figurines, statues, possible tattooing materials such as bone needles, and rock art that shows human-like figures with carved or painted body decoration. Actual marks have been found preserved on mummified remains from over 70 archaeological sites on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. 

Such evidence of ancient tattooing has been present in archaeological collections for more than a century, but it was largely overlooked by archaeologists until recently. Older generations of Western scholars, who themselves were rarely tattooed, viewed the practice negatively and thus were prone to ignore or misinterpret evidence. 

Drawing from communications with indigenous practitioners and from a decade-long survey of hundreds of museum collections and historical records, Dr. Deter-Wolf will describe global patterns in traditional tattooing technologies and techniques. They include hand poking, hand tapping, and incision tattooing, all of which predate electrical tattooing by thousands of years.

You’ll learn about experimental studies in which Dr. Deter-Wolf worked with professional tattooers to recreate stone, bone, and metal tools which they then tested on their own skin and elsewhere to identify the microscopic wear patterns created on tool tips during tattooing. Comparing the marks left on living skin during these studies with preserved ancient tattoos enabled them to correct earlier assumptions about tattooing methods in Copper Age Europe, on the Iron Age Eurasian Steppe, and among pre-Inca cultures of the Andes.

Finally, we’ll look at how Dr. Deter-Wolf and is fellow researchers have used digital-imaging technology to record thousands of never-before seen tattoos on naturally mummified remains from the deserts of the Peruvian central coast. This talk is sure to leave an imprint on you. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID.)

Profs & Pints Nashville: Ireland’s Easter Rising

Profs & Pints Nashville: Ireland’s Easter Rising

  • Fait La Force Brewing Company (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Profs and Pints Nashville presents: “Ireland’s Easter Rising,” on a pivotal moment in Ireland’s fight for independence, with Mark Doyle, professor of history at Middle Tennessee State University, scholar of Irish history, and author of Fighting like the Devil for the Sake of God: Protestants, Catholics and the Origins of Violence in Victorian Belfast.

[Doors open at 6 pm. Talk starts at 7.]

During Easter Week of 1916, a time when hundreds of thousands of other Irishmen were fighting on Britain’s behalf on the First World War’s Western Front, a small band of rebels staged an armed anti-British rebellion in Dublin. 

Their goal was to rid Ireland of the British domination that it had been under in one form or another for nearly 800 years. Although in the short-term their uprising ended disastrously, in the long-term it managed to inspire a largely successful fight for independence.

Learn in depth about this rebellion and how it altered Ireland’s history with Professor Mark Doyle, a scholar and teacher of Irish and British history who has conducted extensive research in Dublin and Belfast. He’ll explain the background, course, and legacy of the Easter Rising, which will mark its 110th anniversary next month.

You’ll learn how the leaders of Ireland’s Easter Rising sought to occupy key places around Dublin in hopes of sparking a general uprising and persuading Germany, Britain’s enemy in the Great War, to help their cause. Their plan failed because not only did no island-wide rebellion occur, but most Dubliners scorned them as reckless adventurers. In less than a week, hundreds of rebels were killed and thousands arrested, with central Dublin being left a smoking hull.

The Easter Rising was, by most measures, a dismal failure. But in the weeks and months that followed something remarkable happened. Britain’s brutal suppression of the rising, combined with the dignified way in which the rebel leaders met their deaths and skillful organizing by surviving rebels and other Irish nationalists, eventually caused the Easter Rising to be seen not as a tragic farce but as the first blow in a longer struggle.

Dr. Doyle will shed light on how a doomed band of rebels lit the flame that eventually consumed the whole island. He’ll examine what their memories mean today in an Ireland that, despite having changed utterly from what it once, still struggles to realize the lofty goals of the men and women of 1916.
