<a target="_blank" href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Terrors of Irish Fairylore,” an
 introduction to Ireland’s strange and unsettling folkloric “Good 
People,” with Brittany Warman, former instructor at Ohio State 
University, co-founder of The Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the 
Fantastic, and co-author of the new book Fairylore: A Compendium of the Fae Folk.
Today it is common to think of fairies as small, childlike, sparkly 
creatures with glittering wings and dresses made from flower petals. But
 the fae of traditional Irish folklore were no such things.&nbsp;
Amoral, capricious, even malicious when they chose to be, the 
too-frequently forgotten fairies of times long past would, more often 
than not, haunt nightmares.
Join Brittany Warman, a folklorist who has earned a devoted following
 among Profs and Pints fans, as she explores the darker side of Irish 
fairylore.
The figures she'll discuss include: The Leanan-Sidhe, a vampiric 
fairy who gives artistic inspiration in exchange for your mortal spirit.
 The Dullahan, a fairy with a human spine for a whip and a habit of 
hurtling across fields in a death coach made from human skin. The 
Banshee, a mournful fairy whose cry signals a death in the family to 
which she's attached herself.
Dr. Warman also will examine the surprising impact of fairy folklore on two classics of Irish Gothic literature, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray and Bram Stoker's Dracula. 
It’s a talk that will remind you that the relationship between the 
Irish and the spooky stretches well beyond Halloween. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-terrors-of-irish-fairlylore2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: 
$13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 with a 
student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.)

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Nightmares and Creativity,” on
 the relationship between frightening dreams and real creative 
achievements, with Bernard Welt, emeritus professor of arts and 
humanities at George Washington University, former member of the board 
of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, and 
contributing editor of DreamTime.
Nightmares are associated with creativity—but how, exactly? Why do so
 many famous accounts of genius in the arts and sciences originate with a
 frightening dream?
Explore such questions with the help of Bernard Welt, who has taught 
courses on recalling dreams and dream journaling and written extensively
 on the relationship between dreaming and the arts.
Using excerpts from texts, illustrations of artworks, and clips from 
classic films derived from nightmares, Professor Welt will look at the 
relationship between bad dreams and celebrated innovations and creative 
accomplishments.&nbsp;
You’ll learn why psychologists consider the nightmare to be a key to 
understanding the creative power of the unconscious mind. We’ll consider
 sleep scientists’ definitions of the nightmare, asking why it still 
remains controversial, and explore contemporary theories about the 
relationship between nightmares and creativity from psychoanalysis, 
Jungian archetypal theory, evolutionary psychology, and other sources.&nbsp;
Though dreams have special authority in many cultures, in the western
 world it’s only among the nineteenth-century Romantics that we began to
 see personal accounts of creativity inspired by dreams—curiously, 
preponderantly bad ones. We’ll look at how Frankenstein arose 
from Mary Shelley’s famous dream of a scientist confronted by his own 
fearful creation, and how art’s Surrealist movement taught us to value 
our nightmares.
You’ll learn how dreams of all kinds can result in sudden inspiration
 because they relax inhibitions, transcend habitual trains of thought, 
and permit ideas that would be rejected by the thought processes of 
waking life. You’ll even come to see why we may welcome our nightmares 
as opportunities to expand our vision and our understanding. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-nightmares-and-creativity" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15

In this talk, Dr. M.J. Rymsza-Pawlowska will draw from her book on the 1976 Bicentennial, “History Comes Alive: Public History and Popular Culture in the 1970s,” as well as in-progress research about how Americans are engaging history in order to explore and explain the way that national commemorations help to clarify, crystalize and accelerate emergent trends in historical engagement. How will the upcoming Semiquincentennial reflect what history looks like now?
M.J. Rymsza-Pawlowska is an interdisciplinary cultural historian of 19th- and 20th-century United States and an associate professor of history and public history at American University. She is the author of “History Comes Alive: Public History and Popular Culture in the 1970s” (University of North Carolina Press, 2017), which traces the emergence of immersive engagement with the past in postwar American culture and numerous articles in scholarly journals.

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “When Washington Burned,”
 a detailed look at the devastating 1814 British attack on the Capitol, 
with Denver Brunsman, associate professor of history at George 
Washington University, lecturer at Mount Vernon, and scholar of the 
American revolution and early American republic.
You’ve probably toured several of Washington’s landmarks, but have 
you considered those that went up in smoke more than 200 years ago?
Learn about one of our nation’s greatest scares from historian Denver
 Brunsman, a favorite of Profs and Pints audiences and expert on the War
 of 1812, which led to the infamous 1814 attack. He’ll tell the riveting
 tale of how British troops torched the Capitol and White House and 
burned down nearly all of Washington’s public buildings.
He’ll frame his talk of such mayhem by discussing the origins and 
significance of the conflict that caused it, the War of 1812. In 
addition to helping to cement America’s independence, the War of 1812 
helped give rise to a sense of nationalism among the people of Canada. 
It rallied boosters of the city of Washington—among them, First Lady 
Dolley Madison—to advocate for keeping it as the nation’s capital. With 
the war’s end, American was free to embark on two centuries of growth.
You’ll leave with a much greater appreciation of how our nation has 
withstood tests in the past and how much of Washington D.C. has been 
built upon the ruins of previous losses. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-when-washington-burned" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints Northern Virginia</a> presents: “How AI Alters Thinking,”
 on dealing with artificial intelligence’s capacity to change and 
undermine our thought processes, with Eli Alshanetsky, assistant 
professor of philosophy at Temple University, principle investigator at 
its Cognitive Integrity Lab, and author of an upcoming book on AI and 
freedom of thought.
Doctors who give bad advice can be sued for malpractice. Teachers 
belong to a profession with set standards. When artificial intelligence 
guides you, however, that guidance comes with a disclaimer: Use at your 
own risk.
Every day millions of people take that risk, and usually AI seems 
genuinely helpful. But even if AI gives us good answers, might its use 
over time do bad things to how we think?
Explore the relationship between AI and our own minds with Eli 
Alshanetsky, whose Cognitive Integrity Lab studies how artificial 
intelligence changes how we think, learn, and build trust. Author of Articulating a Thought and the upcoming book Freedom of Thought in the Age of AI,
 he’s on the cutting edge of efforts to answer AI-related questions such
 as: How can we tell when work is truly our own? How can technology 
support rather than replace authorship and reflection? What does trust 
mean when AI mediates our relationships with others and with our own 
thoughts?
To set up his discussion of potential consequences of AI, he’ll 
describe how social media’s impact on society serves as a preview.&nbsp;
Social media didn’t just give people what they wanted to click on, it
 actually changed what they regarded as click-worthy. It broke attention
 spans and fueled radicalization across millions of very different 
people. It left us with people who doom-scroll for hours, who can’t 
focus, who don’t know what to trust anymore.&nbsp;
If you’d shown people this version of themselves ten years ago, would they have chosen it?
Artificial intelligence is making a similar deal with us, but the 
stakes are higher. It isn’t chasing clicks. It’s optimized for giving 
you the most satisfying response to whatever is on your mind right now.&nbsp;
The risk over time isn’t just that you’ll get lazy. More profoundly, 
even when you think hard, your sense of what counts as good thinking—as 
well as what sounds like you—will shift to match what AI has been 
feeding you.
We’ll consider what kind of person this produces and whether this is 
someone we want to be or want children to become. Professor Alshanetsky 
will lay out a practical framework, which he calls “the interaction 
layer,” for using AI without letting it replace the thinking it’s 
supposed to support. He’ll also talk about what AI-related concerns 
should be the focus of parents and educators. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-how-ai-alters" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets:</a> $13.50

Arlington Language School Marks 40th Anniversary

ICA Language Services

ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing. Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services. Today, ICA operates a 60+ classroom schoolhouse in Rosslyn and has delivered nearly five million hours of language instruction and more than 30,000 language assessments across 120+ languages. ICA also provides training on military bases throughout the US and abroad. The company is now led by President and CEO Lexie Casey, Doyle’s daughter, who joined ICA in 2009 after a decade in government contracting. Casey became a partner in 2014 and assumed day-to-day leadership in 2015, when Doyle transitioned to Chair of the Board. ICA has employed more than 1,300 individuals from 131 countries, often providing a first job in the United States for language professionals. Certified by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, ICA provides proficiency- and performance-based language training and testing services supporting diplomacy, security, and global engagement.
