Tuesday, April 16, 1—3 p.m.

No other modern-day trial in our history invokes as many opinions and emotions as this one. Did O.J. Simpson murder his wife Nicole and Ron Goldman? Did he get a fair trial?

HOW POLITICAL SCIENCE STUDIES THE PRESIDENCY NEW

Monday, June 3, 1—2:15 p.m.

What makes a president a smashing success or a terrible failure? The answer is often heavily influenced by whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, and whether the president is a Republican or Democrat! Political scientists, however, look for explanations beyond party labels. In this session, you'll learn about some non-partisan explanations for presidential success or failure, informed by political scientists. You'll have fun learning and critiquing the explanations, and thinking about what they can teach us about recent presidents. Come for a non-partisan, scientific take on a highly partisan political office! Dr. Franchesca V. Nestor is the Associate Professor, of Politics and Government at Ohio Wesleyan University.

AN ECOLOGICAL APPROACH TO SOLVING SOCIAL PROBLEMS

Tuesday, June 4, 10—11:30 a.m.

Are solutions to social problems the responsibility of the people who struggle with them? Are solutions society's responsibility? We'll explore a "both-and" approach, focused on the fit between the individual and the environment. On top of that, almost all social problems have multiple causes. Get ready: this is going to get complicated! Dr. Leavy is a retired psychology professor from Ohio Wesleyan University who received his PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

BE RED CROSS READY NEW

Thursday, June 6, 1—2 p.m.

Hosted by the American Red Cross, Be Red Cross Ready is a preparedness education curriculum for adults taught by certified presenters.

SEEKING THE ENDEMIC BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND NEW SPEAKER

Friday, June 7, 1—2 p.m.

Just before Covid-19 hit, my wife Amy and I spent a wonderful two weeks driving around New Zealand. This was our second trip there. The motivation for this trip was participation in an international conference of Arachnology, but our tour was focused on finding the amazing endemic birds there. We rented a car and drove around both the North and South islands. During that time, we saw spectacular scenery, wonderful wildlife, while learning about this small but spectacular country on the other side of the world.
