Join us as Professor Brooks explores the query - How did a corncrib, pigsty, and outhouse become an icon of Georgian Patriotism?

An interdisciplinary scholar of the Indigenous and Colonial past, Professor James Brooks is the Sally and Carl Gable Distinguished Professor of History at UGA. Dr. Brooks embraces an expansive view of the colonial South, and is at work on a book, Picketwire, which reaches from the Irish island of Torraigh in the 17th century, to the Cherokee town of Quanasee in the early 18th century and to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in the 20th century.  In Fall 2024 UGA Press will launch his edited collection Public Archaeology in the Twenty-First Century.

Students of all majors are welcome. Free pizza. This is an FYO event.
