Academic Adventurers Lecture Series

A Long, Strange Trip: Budapest, Berlin, Baraboo, and Points in Between

Join University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Professor of Sociology Dr. Jennifer Jordan for her talk “A Long, Strange Trip: Budapest, Berlin, Baraboo, and Points in Between,” the latest installment of the Academic Adventurers Lecture Series being held Feb. 11 from 3-4 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library. Jordan will focus on the central role that paper maps have played in charting a path of research over the past thirty-five years of her academic life. These maps helped Jordan find her way in unfamiliar cities, and also helped her craft in-depth archival research projects resulting in a dissertation, three books, and many other publications, on topics ranging from memory and forgetting in post-1989 Berlin, to the rise and fall of Wisconsin’s 19^th century hop industry.

UWM’s Academic Adventurers is a continuing series of informal afternoon programs held in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library, offering members of the UWM community the opportunity to hear of their colleagues’ adventures abroad and afield.
