<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Deer to Us,” on
 more than 12,000 years of interactions between eastern North America’s 
white-tailed deer and human residents, with Elic Weitzel, former 
postdoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural 
History and adjunct professor of anthropology at George Mason 
University.&nbsp;
Given their abundance in our backyards and along highway corridors, 
few people today would suspect that white-tailed deer were on the verge 
of extinction at the turn of the 20th century mainly as a result of 
commercial hunting.&nbsp;
Learn about the complicated, centuries-old relationship between deer 
and people in our region with Elic Weitzel, who has spent the last 
decade studying the historical ecology of white-tailed deer and other 
species.
He’ll tell the story of our white-tail deer from prehistoric 
abundance to steady decline from the colonial era deerskin trade to 
resurgence under the modern conservation movement.&nbsp;
Combining evidence from archaeological excavations, historical 
sources, and contemporary conservation biology, Dr. Weitzel will 
describe how Native Americans hunted and managed deer for millennia and 
he’ll discuss the reasons why this pre-colonial hunting may have been 
relatively sustainable.&nbsp;
He’ll talk about how deer populations began to decline after the 
arrival of Europeans on our continent, and he’ll discuss the role that 
the deerskin trade and market economics played. Finally, he’ll look at 
how conservation efforts in the 20th century led to the recovery of deer
 and to the (sometimes problematic) abundance we see today.&nbsp;
You’ll learn lessons from the past that can help us better understand
 and promote sustainability in the present and future. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-deer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>:

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints Northern Virginia</a> presents: “The Long Fight Over Voting Rights,”
 on today’s battles over political representation as part of a 
persistent struggle, with Jatia Wrighten, assistant professor of 
political science at Virginia Commonwealth University.
We often talk about election disputes as if they began only recently.
 The reality is that this nation’s fight over who gets to vote did not 
start yesterday and surely will not end with Donald Trump.
Learn how what feels like a modern crisis is actually a recurring 
theme of American history, and how the past offers lessons for the 
present and future, with political scientist Jatia Wrighten, a scholar 
of minority political representation.&nbsp;
You’ll learn how our nation has long been bitterly divided over 
questions related to who gets a voice in our government and how easy it 
should be to vote.
We’ll go back in time to the Reconstruction period after the Civil 
War, when the country engaged in debates over who counted as citizens 
and who had the right to vote. You’ll learn how during the Gilded Age of
 the late 1800s Americans were deeply concerned about the influence of 
big money, media, and corrupt political machines in elections. In the 
more recent past, we’ll look at how Black people fought for access to 
the ballot during the Civil Rights Movement.
To help you better understand what’s at stake in today’s debates, Dr.
 Wrighten will discuss how major shifts in political power can come 
about quietly through minor tweaks in the “machinery” of elections, 
including the rules governing voter registration, identification 
requirements, mail-in ballot management, and polling place locations. 
Gerrymandering—the practice of redrawing political maps to give one 
party an unfair advantage—also can have a huge impact.&nbsp;
This machinery is constantly being adjusted, influencing who finds it
 easy to vote and who faces significant challenges. Small tweaks in the 
rules brought about by politicians or the courts can change the outcome 
of an entire election before anyone even casts a ballot.
You’ll emerge from this talk better equipped to protect your vote by 
weighing in when the rules are debated. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-long-fight" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus

 guide to understanding Yemen’s rebel group and their impact on world 
politics, with Elana DeLozier, an adjunct professor of international

of The Sage Institute for Foreign Affairs.
Join longtime Yemen expert Elana DeLozier for a talk that will give 
you a much greater understanding of that country’s Houthi rebels and how
 they grew from a local resistance movement into a group capable of 
reshaping global trade.
She’ll give you a crash course on a conflict you probably haven’t 
been following—Yemen’s long-running civil war—and discuss the role 
played in it by the Houthi movement that arose in the mountains of that 
country’s north.
From there you’ll learn how the Houthis emerged as a threat to global
 trade and came into direct conflict with the United States.&nbsp;
We’ll look at the strategic importance of the Red Sea, the Bab 
al-Mandeb, and the Strait of Hormuz—the maritime chokepoints that have 
dominated headlines—and why they matter so much. We’ll also discuss the 
key players protecting the world’s trade routes and how geography still

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “How to Feel Worthy,”
 with Marisa G. Franco, psychologist, assistant clinical professor at 
the University of Maryland’s Honors College, and New York Times 
best-selling author of Platonic and the forthcoming book Worth: The New Science of Self-esteem and Secure Attachment.
If you don't feel worthy, you can achieve great success but still 
feel like a failure. You can find great love and still feel unlovable.
Sometimes the very things that should make us feel worthy only make 
us feel worse. Studies reveal that if we don't feel worthy, we are more 
likely to deflect compliments and affiliate with people who treat us 
negatively. Fascinatingly, when positive events happen in our lives, we 
only feel sicker.&nbsp;&nbsp;
But there is a way forward.
Join Dr. Marisa G. Franco, who previously gave outstanding Profs and 
Pints talks on friendship, for an interactive evening built to help you 
shift long-held negative beliefs about yourself.
She’ll describe how self-worth is stubborn, because our brain is 
invested in maintaining the same sense of self-worth that we developed 
in childhood. It does this to protect us, so that we don’t trick 
ourselves into feeling better and get further crushed should the harms 
of our past—rejection, bullying, neglect—happen again.
You'll learn about the paradox of self-worth and how the very things 
that should make you feel more worthy--people who love you, great 
success—can actually only make you feel worse. You worry that you can't 
live up to others' expectations and you experience more anxiety.
Dr. Franco will discuss the foundation of self-worth and how, as 
researchers put it, “memories are the database of self-esteem,” with low
 self-worth stemming from memories of being rejected, bullied, or 
otherwise harmed.
We’ll delve into research-backed ways to improve self-worth. Although
 we can't change the past, cutting-edge research on memory 
reconsolidation finds that we can change how the past lives within us. 
As researchers put it, memories are made to predict the future, not to 
record the past, which means the emotional impact of memories can be 
updated every time we revisit them. You’ll learn how to do so during 
this talk.&nbsp;
Being on hand will help both those who have struggled with their 
sense of self and those who think they have it figured out. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-feel-worthy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15

 on findings, debates and trends in the use of psychedelic substances to
 treat trauma and other conditions, with Whitney Marris, instructor at 
the University at Buffalo’s School of Social Work, certified 
psychedelic-assisted therapy facilitator, and consultant to clinical 
trials.
Psychedelics are rapidly moving from the margins into the mainstream,
 and questions abound as the sociocultural and legal landscapes 
surrounding them shift. President Trump’s recent executive order 
expanding access to psychedelic drugs for certain conditions and 
accelerating research on them has both heightened interest and added to 
confusion.
Learn more about the so-called “Psychedelic Renaissance,” and get 
help separating the hope from the hype surrounding it, with Whitney 
Marris, a leading trainer and facilitator of psychedelic therapy who has
 used it to treat trauma survivors, military veterans, and people with 
cancer.
She’ll present foundational information on what we know about how 
psychedelics work. You’ll learn how psychedelic-assisted therapy differs
 from “trip sitting” and about what we know about the effects of 
“microdosing” versus “macrodosing.” We’ll examine what has been 
demonstrated to be helpful versus harmful before, during, and after a 
dosing session intended to support significant, sustainable change.
Marris also will discuss the historical and cultural context of the 
use of psychedelic medicines for healing, and she’ll describe the 
ethical challenges that arise as such practices move from counterculture
 to clinic. We’ll look at emerging and evolving findings in the field, 
as well as at the roles being played by various financial interests and 
ideologies in determining the direction of psychedelic-assisted therapy 
and research on its outcomes.
Attendees will gain an awareness of the need for new professional 
standards and regulatory guardrails related to such work, and they’ll 
leave knowing key questions to ask potential providers of 
psychedelic-assisted therapy. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-psychedelic-assisted" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax

 introduction to the field of bioarchaeology and what it tells us about 
life and death in the past, with Jordan Wilson, bioarchaeologist, 
skeletal biologist, and postdoctoral fellow and lecturer at Georgetown 
University.
Gather among the living to learn how lessons are taught by the dead.
Join Dr. Jordan Wilson of Georgetown University to dig into the field
 of bioarchaeology, a science that combines knowledge of human skeletal 
anatomy with that of past cultures and treatment of the body after 
death.
Covering bioarchaeology’s history, she’ll describe how researchers 
first realized that skeletons could be every bit as important to our 
understanding of the past as artifacts displayed in museums. She’ll also
 discuss how early research on human skeletal remains unfortunately 
became intertwined with research in eugenics.
She also will give you an understanding of bioarchaeologists’ 
methods, teaching you how they determine the age, biological sex, and 
ancestry of the deceased from their bones. You’ll learn how they 
identify various traumatic injuries, from broken arms to scimitar cuts, 
as well as evidence of repetitive actions to gain insight into daily 
activities. Past health problems are identifiable from the scars left on
 bones by illnesses such as rickets, scurvy, tuberculosis, and anemia.
We’ll examine some famous bioarchaeology cases and look at what 
movies get wrong about mummies and the field of archaeology in general. 
We’ll also look at how human remains research is used for good, by 
identifying the missing, solving cold cases, and supporting tribal 
sovereignty.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Dune and Messiahs,”
 on word of saviors in religion and science fiction, with Peter Herman, 
former lecturer in theology and religious studies at Marymount 
University and scholar of religious and social themes in sci fi.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Dune: Part Three is scheduled for release in December, and trailers for the epic space opera film have fans of the Dune
 franchise longing for it like visitors to its desert planet Arrakis 
long for water. Based on the second volume of renowned science fiction 
novelist Frank Herbert's Dune saga, the movie depicts the 
internal and external conflicts of protagonist Paul Atreides, an emperor
 treated by others as a messiah while being depicted as an antihero.
The film will raise intriguing questions related to the presence of 
redeeming figures, or messiahs, throughout both science fiction and 
religious texts. Among them: What exactly do we mean by the term 
“messiah”? Why have many religious traditions looked for a redeemer to 
emerge? What happens if the messiah gets it all wrong?&nbsp;
Explore such questions—and prepare yourself to enjoy the upcoming Dune
 film at a much deeper level—with Dr. Peter Herman, who has given 
several excellent, thought-provoking Profs and Pints talks on the Dune franchise.
To center Dune in the discussion, we’ll look at the 
character of Paul Atriedes as a ruler who has launched a jihad across 
known space to reconquer it. His prescient visions show him that 
although the spread of religious war is not optimal, neither is it the 
worst potential future for humanity, and he allows excess and violence 
to continue in his name out of a conviction that it’s for the greater 
good. Throughout the book on which the upcoming film is based, Atriedes 
struggles with his followers' desire to view him as a divine figure.
Dr. Herman, a trained theologian, will set such themes in the broader
 context of religious studies by discussing messianic figures across 
various religious traditions. Among them, Christianity names Jesus of 
Nazareth as the messiah, but he is hardly the first person in the 
canonical Bible given that title. Mainstream Judaism does not anticipate
 any similar, deified figure descending from heaven, but messianic 
strains of Judaism have looked for the arrival of a political liberator.
 Islam, from which Frank Herbert borrowed terms applied to Paul 
Atriedes, contains reference to someone serving not as a redeemer but as
 a heavenly guide. All branches of Buddhism situate within each new age 
of their cyclical cosmology a Buddha-yet-to-come.
We’ll look at the human tendency in confusing times to seek out 
direct, uncomplicated answers and to embrace messianism as part of 
apocalypticism, which foretells a straightforward sorting process in 
which believers, as good people, see reward while their enemies, as bad 
people, see punishment.&nbsp;
Dune fans will feel rewarded in coming to this talk.

 on what research says about prolonging life, with Ankit Shah, M.D., 
associate professor of medicine at the Georgetown University School of 
Medicine, founder and president of Sports &amp; Performance Cardiology, 
and chief medical officer for USA Swimming.
Most people think exercise is about losing weight, building muscle, 
or running faster. But what if the greatest benefit of exercise is 
something much bigger: Helping us live longer and better?
Join internationally recognized sports cardiologist Dr. Ankit Shah 
for an engaging look at the fascinating science connecting exercise, 
fitness, and longevity.&nbsp;
Drawing on research involving elite athletes, recreational 
exercisers, and everyday people, Dr. Shah will explore how exercise 
changes the heart, brain, muscles, and metabolism—and why these changes 
can have profound effects on our health as we age.
You’ll learn why cardiorespiratory fitness may be one of the most 
powerful predictors of long-term health. We’ll look at what the widely 
used VO2max test of blood oxygen levels during exercise can and cannot 
tell us about aging, and how exercise can protect against some of the 
diseases that become more common as we get older.&nbsp;
You’ll also discover whether there really is such a thing as “too 
much” exercise and how to find the right balance between training hard 
and recovering well.
Dr. Shah will discuss the optimal amount of exercise to live longer 
and how athletes get in trouble by assuming that being fit necessarily 
equals being healthy. He’ll talk about how, when it comes to determining
 our longevity, the reasons why we exercise can be every bit as 
important as the amount of exercise we get—a short run to stave off the 
urge to smoke or drink can pay off more than a long run followed by a 
cocktail and cigarette.
Come for the science, leave with a better understanding of how to 
make exercise one of the most powerful tools for a longer, healthier 
life. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-science-of-longevity" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees.

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints Northern Virginia</a> presents: “The Victorians' Sexual Underworld,” on
 sex workers and queer communities in nineteenth century cities, with 
Andrew Israel Ross, associate professor and chair of history at Loyola 
University Maryland and author or editor of several books and articles 
on the history of prostitution, homosexuality, and policing in 
nineteenth century Paris.
We are living through a moral panic about the presence of sexual and 
gender diversity in our society, as evidenced by attacks on Pride month,
 calls to ban drag queen story hours, and governmental efforts to 
redefine sex and gender. Underlying such actions is a sense that the 
increasing prominence of queer and trans people in American society 
represents something new and unexpected, a deviation from a clear 
history of heterosexual and gender stability.&nbsp;
The reality, however, is that queer life—and sexual life broadly—used
 to be much more central to social life than it is today, especially in 
growing cities during the Industrial Revolution.
Come to Arlington’s Highline RxR beer hall to gain an eye-opening 
understanding of the history of sexual communities often seen as 
marginal in history–female sex workers, gay men and lesbians, and 
transgender people.
Dr. Andrew Ross, a historian of sexuality, will explain why public 
sex was so important to nineteenth century urban culture and how 
Victorians wrestled with evidence of sexual and gender diversity. 
Drawing from his intensive study of the history of Paris but also from 
research on London, Berlin, and New York during the Industrial Age, 
he’ll discuss the sexual ideology of the Victorians and how it gave 
substantial opportunities to people who faced a great deal of 
discrimination then and continue to face it now.
You’ll learn about the practice “regulationism,” which sought to 
manage the business of sex work so that heterosexual men could always 
have access to sex.&nbsp;
Then we’ll look at the queer male world – one that often intersected 
with that of female prostitutes – and the spaces where men found one 
another quite publicly. Dr. Ross will discuss the emergence of the first
 gay bars, which were opened (perhaps surprisingly) by women, and talk 
about how people who did not identify as either men or women navigated 
this world.&nbsp;
What happened to these cultures? The talk will conclude by focusing 
on a period between the World Wars characterized by incredible 
experimentation with sexual identity, community building and politics. 
We’ll look at how it came to an end with the rise of the Nazis in Europe
 and the Red Scare in the United States. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-victorians-sexual-underworld" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus
