Lecture by PHI Program Coordinator Dr. Kristina Markman
2018-03-08 19:30 - 23:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Busby’s East, 5364 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 90036
A public lecture by PHI Program Coordinator Dr. Kristina Markman
Join Kristina on March 8 @ 7:30pm at Busby’s East for Nerd Nite (must be 21 or
older) where Kristina will be giving a lecture on medieval drinking culture.

“Boozing in the Middle Ages”: Drinking is both a physical and cultural act. The act of drinking as well as attitudes toward drinking have the power to reinforce community standards, establish socio-economic boundaries, and reaffirm gender categories. American beliefs toward alcohol are paradoxical: we grant it heroic status and often drink to excess, yet restrict its use and blame it for our misconduct. Was this always the case? How did people in the so-called “Dark Ages” feel about alcohol?
Nerd Nite is a monthly event held in more than 100 cities across the globe during which several folks give 20-minute fun-yet-informative presentations across all disciplines. Get tickets HERE.
