<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

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Travel Like an Anthropologist,”
 an exploration of the cultural complexities of tourism and a guide to 
ensuring your visits to other places benefit all involved, with Melissa 
A. Stevens, principal at CultureSnap Consulting and adjunct professor of
 cultural anthropology at the University of Delaware.&nbsp;
Mark Twain once famously remarked that “travel is fatal to prejudice,
 bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” Indeed, it can open our minds to new 
ideas and possibilities, positively contribute to local communities, and
 help us establish lasting relationships with people across the world.&nbsp;
At the same time, however, our travels can be harmful to the people 
and places we visit and to our world as a whole. We can end up 
exploiting vulnerable populations, worsening global and local 
inequalities, accelerating climate change, and forever altering the 
places and cultures that we visit.&nbsp;
How are responsible tourists supposed to navigate these contradictions without ruining their vacation?&nbsp;
Explore the cultural complexities of what it means to travel, and 
find ways to ensure your conscience rests easy after full travel days, 
with the help of cultural anthropologist Melissa Stevens.&nbsp;
She’ll start by discussing how her own field has not always been a 
positive force in other parts of the world, and historically has 
committed some of the same sins as the tourism marketing industry when 
it comes to shaping Western perceptions of Non-Western cultures. Popular
 anthropologists such as Margaret Mead and Napoleon Chagnon contributed 
to the “exotification” and exploitation of indigenous peoples and local 
communities in ways that cast a shadow on their work.&nbsp;
In confronting the ethical implications of its early history, 
anthropology developed a perspective known as “cultural relativism,” 
which called upon anthropologists to build awareness of their own 
cultural assumptions as a means to engage more ethically and responsibly
 with the people and places they visited. Anyone, including tourists, 
can learn to have a culturally relativist mindset in their travels.&nbsp;
Dr. Stevens will discuss how anthropologists use cultural relativism 
to gain a deeper understanding of people and places. She’ll also talk 
about how anthropologists look at tourism through a cultural lens, 
diving into the politics of representation, of performance, and of 
authenticity, and also examining gendered experiences of tourism. We'll 
take a tour through the history of travel, from early pilgrims to 
digital nomads, and we’ll explore different types of tourism, including 
cultural tourism, ecotourism, sex and romance tourism, dark tourism, 
backpacking, and “voluntourism.”
We’ll consider the environmental and cultural impacts of tourism on 
tourist destinations. Drawing from her experiences conducting 
ethnographic research on cultural and sustainable tourism in Tanzania 
and Vietnam, Dr. Stevens will share immersive stories about what she 
learned in researching how tourism was perceived and experienced by the 
people who live with it.&nbsp;
What you learn at her talk will help ensure that you keep learning 
every time you pack your bags. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-travel-anthropologist" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Preventing Election Violence,”
 on the recent history of election-related terrorism and the potential 
for violence before, during, and after the midterms, with Jacob Ware, 
adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of 
Foreign Service and scholar of domestic and international terrorism.&nbsp;
The United States has been plagued by election violence over the past
 several years, with recent incidents including the January 6, 2021, 
attack on the Capitol and the attempted 2024 assassination of Donald 
Trump during an open-air campaign rally.&nbsp;
But the historical record indicates that such election violence is 
not an aberration. American elections have been undermined by terrorism 
and political violence since the nation’s founding. We should therefore 
not be surprised if violence again mars the upcoming 2026 midterms.
Join terrorism expert Jacob Ware, coauthor of God, Guns, and Sedition: Far-Right Terrorism in America, for an in-depth look at past and potential election-related violence.
He’ll examine the violence of election cycles in the Trump era, 
including assassination attempts during candidate campaigning, voter 
intimidation on Election Day, and attempts to forcefully affect 
vote-counting in the days and weeks after the vote itself.
He’ll cover the spectrum of domestic and homegrown terrorist actors, 
including longstanding Salafi-jihadist adversaries as well as far-right 
extremists and far-left extremists, and draw on various data sources to 
assess which actors will pose the gravest threat of violence around the 
2026 midterms.
His talk will conclude with a set of practical recommendations that 
both government and citizens can follow to try to ensure peace during 
the election and any eventual transfer of power. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-election-violence" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>:

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “China to Our South,”
 on a rival superpower’s emergence as a key player in Latin America and 
the Caribbean, with Leland Lazarus, former diplomat in China and the 
Caribbean, former researcher and instructor on U.S.-China relations at 
Florida International University, and author of Dragon in the Americas: China’s Power, Presence, and Regional Influence. 
Across Latin America and the Caribbean, China is helping build ports,
 digital networks, energy projects, space facilities, and supply chains 
for the critical minerals that power life. Along with creating 
opportunities, these investments are shifting influence and altering 
diplomatic relationships, security dynamics, and the balance of power in
 the United States’ neighborhood.
Learn about the implications of China’s growing investment and 
influence in the Western Hemisphere at a talk that will go beyond the 
headlines and simplistic narratives of China as either a predatory 
threat or a benevolent development partner.
The speaker, Leland Lazarus, is a former special assistant to two 
commanders of U.S. Southern Command who has spent more than a decade 
researching China’s engagement with the Western Hemisphere.
In accessible, nonpartisan terms he’ll seek to answer two fundamental
 questions: Is China’s growing role in the Americas primarily an 
economic opportunity, a strategic challenge, or both? And what should 
the United States do to remain a trusted, competitive partner without 
forcing the region to choose sides?
He’ll discuss how China’s regional presence affects trade, technology, migration, crime, and U.S. national security.&nbsp;
Drawing on examples from across the hemisphere, he will explain why 
ports and undersea cables matter, how Beijing competes with Taiwan for 
diplomatic recognition, where Chinese companies and criminal networks 
intersect, and how Latin American and Caribbean countries are navigating
 relationships with both the U.S. and China.
You’ll emerge from the talk with a clearer, more nuanced 
understanding of a transformation already underway just beyond our 
borders and why it matters to all of us. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-china-to-south" 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: “Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy,” 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/arlington-psychedelic-assisted" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Forgeries Throughout History,”
 on famous fakes and their real impact, with Vanessa R. Corcoran, 
Catholic Church and medieval historian and director of Catholic Studies 
at Georgetown University.
Today people often discuss fraud and forgery as if they are uniquely 
modern problems—the products of the internet, artificial intelligence, 
and the rise of deepfakes. But the impulse to deceive by fabricating 
evidence, identities, or images is far older than any digital 
technology. Moreover, even those who did not get away with it for long 
sometimes altered the course of history with their trickery.
Learn in depth about such deceptions during an evening of mythmaking 
and myth-busting with Dr. Vanessa R. Corcoran, previously has given 
excellent Profs and Pints on Catholic history and culture and the 2025 
papal conclave.
She’ll walk you through a series of forgeries tied to the Crusades, 
the Catholic Church, and the Byzantine Empire, especially focusing on 
fakery that confounded the medieval world. You’ll learn about cases 
involving forged documents, imitated signatures, counterfeited money, 
bogus works of art, and imposters in disguise.
We’ll look at how Roman artists in antiquity created sculptures that 
they attempted to pass off as Greek works to increase marketability. 
(Even Michelangelo was guilty of trying to disguise one of his 
sculptures as a work from the classical era.) Later on, Dutch painter 
Han Van Meegeren created numerous forgeries of Vermeer’s paintings, 
ultimately getting convicted of fraud and forgery.
Among acts of deception that changed the course of history was a 
medieval forgery titled “The Donation of Constantine,” which as of the 
late 700s was used to buttress claims that the fourth-century Byzantine 
Emperor Constantine I had transferred authority over Rome to the Pope. 
It was viewed as authentic until fifteenth-century Renaissance humanist 
Lorenzo Valla debunked it as created centuries after Constantine died.
A popular legend in the Catholic Church held that a woman later known
 as “Pope Joan” disguised herself as a man and ruled as “popess” in the 
ninth century. That narrative, largely debunked by modern historians, 
was treated by medieval chronicles as credible and used to buttress 
arguments that women should be ordained as priests.
Among other cases we’ll examine include the Shroud of Turin, 
purported to be the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth, which was 
denounced as forgery as early as 1389 but remains venerated as a relic 
by some believers.
Dr. Corcoran’s talk will offer an important lens for understanding 
the challenges and stakes of today’s debates over AI-generated fakery. 
You’ll walk away with an appreciation of how every generation has had to
 learn, often painfully, how to distinguish what merely looks authentic 
from what actually is. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-forgeries-throughout-history" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Predicting November’s Election Results,”
 a look at the tools of political prognostication and what they tell us 
about what will happen at the polls, with Matthew Green, professor of 
politics at The Catholic University of America.&nbsp;
With the approach of any major election comes the emergence of 
pollsters, pundits and, yes, even professors who claim to know how the 
voting will go. Few of them explain how they reached their conclusions, 
even if they conflict with the predictions of others.
Profs and Pints is bringing you a talk to help you see through the 
spin, wishful thinking, and wild guesses about the 2026 midterm 
elections.&nbsp;
Professor Matthew Green, a scholar of congressional and electoral 
politics, will pull back the curtain to show you the tools that 
political scientists and professional prognosticators use in forecasting
 election outcomes. He will discuss some of the common misconceptions 
about what influences the vote, and he will review the strengths and 
weaknesses of various predictive models and the assumptions that lie 
behind each of them.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Professor Green also will examine several factors unique to this 
year's elections, including the impacts of mid-decade redistricting and 
the public's views of President Trump. He will discuss why many models 
predict that Democrats will gain seats in both the House and Senate but 
assign a lower probability of the Democrats winning control of the 
Senate than gaining a majority in the House.
Come learn about the art and science of forecasting election outcomes
 and how to be a better consumer of election-year predictions. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-predicting-election-results" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “What’s Done With the Dead,” an exploration of funerary practices across time and cultures, with Jordan Wilson, bioarchaeologist, skeletal biologist, and assistant professor at Georgetown University.
Most of us think in terms of either burial or cremation in considering what we’d like done to our bodies when we die. But in other times and places practices such as mummification, funerary cannibalism, and even the offering of bodies to hungry vultures all have been regarded as perfectly normal ways of tending to the dead.
Learn about the remarkable variety of ways humans have dealt with the deceased with Dr. Jordan Wilson, a bioarchaeologist who gives excellent Profs and Pints talks.&nbsp;
She’ll discuss how funerary traditions reflect religious beliefs, social identities, environmental realities, and practical concerns. Her talk will cover everything from Tibetan sky burials to modern green burials, human composting, and the mummies of ancient Egypt, Peru, and Chile.
We’ll explore the science of decomposition and visit the handful of research facilities around the world dedicated to studying it. We’ll also consider the evolutionary origins of grief and mourning, examining evidence that these behaviors are not unique to humans and can be observed in species such as elephants and chimpanzees.
Dr. Wilson also will trace the surprising history of burial and cemeteries, discussing evidence of possible mortuary practices among Homo naledi and Neanderthals and examining the Paris Catacombs and Arlington National Cemetery.&nbsp;
You’ll learn how the ways that people treat the dead reveal not only how they confront mortality, but also how they define community, memory, and what it means to be human.

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Venturing into Eco-Horror,” an exploration of a genre focused on humanity’s troubled relationship with the natural world, with Joshua Barton, lecturer in English at Virginia Commonwealth University and scholar of horror.
What happens when nature stops being a passive backdrop to horror films and itself becomes the monster?&nbsp;
Join us as we explore eco-horror, a genre that channels environmental anxiety into green nightmares in the form of tales of toxic landscapes, invasive species, and planetary revenge.
The speaker, Profs and Pints fan favorite Joshua Barton, will look at how fears related to ecological collapse, climate change, and human hubris have shaped modern storytelling.
He’ll trace the roots of eco-horror in earlier works where nature rebels against human exploitation, including Steve Sekely’s The Day of the Triffids and Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. From there, he’ll move into contemporary examples that reflect modern environmental anxieties, like Alex Garland’s Annihilation, Barry Levinson’s The Bay, and M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening.
We’ll also examine literary eco-horror that blends ecological thought with cosmic dread, including The Ruins by Scott Smith and The Girl with All the Gifts by M. R. Carey.
Across these texts and films, we’ll aim to answer a central question: Why does environmental catastrophe so often take the form of horror? By analyzing cultural context and ecological themes, we’ll see how eco-horror dramatizes the consequences of environmental neglect and forces audiences to confront uncomfortable possibilities about the future of our planet.
Part cultural critique, part genre exploration, this lecture invites audiences to reconsider the boundary between the natural world and the monstrous.&nbsp;
Ultimately, we’ll see that the true horror lies not in nature itself, but in humanity’s impact on it.

MUJERES: Women in Motion features three powerful choreographic voices—each exploring identity, conscience, and cultural inheritance through her own distinct lens. Together, they reveal the plural imagination of contemporary America: layered, rhythmic, and alive with meaning. Don't miss this mesmerizing performance on October 2 at 7 p.m. at The Alden Theatre!
“Ballet Hispánico dances with elegance and lyricism.”—The Washington Post
Runtime: approximately 100 minutes with two intermissions
