What's a History Salon?
Feeling the need to talk about current events and discuss the ramifications of societal/cultural changes?
The Extreme History Project's new program addresses this need! A concept used by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Chinese that flourished in 15th - 16th century Europe, salons are informal social gatherings where people discuss art, literature, science and politics.
Join us at our Extreme History Project headquarters for an afternoon where we will focus on historic and contemporary concepts to inform, discuss and analyze issues that relate to today. We’ll look at topics that might go misinterpreted, are being misrepresented or overall, raise a lot of questions.
Join the discussion and intellectual exchange as we deep dive into those hard questions.
This Saturday, September 20th at 1pm during our next History Salon we will discuss Federal and State Government with expert Eric Austin.
Dr. Eric K. Austin is a Professor and Department Head of Political Science at Montana State University. Eric’s research focuses on the factors that affect inter and intra-organizational problem-solving and decision-making, especially in contentious environments. He teaches courses including public policy, organization theory, public management, and administrative ethics. His most recent articles, coauthored with Dr. Eric Raile and others, focus on the broader impacts of Federal R&D and technology transfer policy, and the structures of national research laboratories that support those broader objectives. Eric's professional career prior to completing his PhD at Virginia Tech, included working as a project director in both public and non-profit organizations. In addition to working on various environmental, education, and human services programs, Eric served and continues to work as a trainer and consultant providing technical support and capacity building services for organizations ranging from large, federal agencies to small, volunteer based non-profits. In his spare time, Eric spends as much time as possible with his wife and two sons, hiking, camping, skiing and riding the many, many bicycles that occupy his garage.
The goal of this event is to create a space for participants to feel comfortable to ask questions and contribute to the conversation. We ask you to be respectful and open-minded.
