February 5, 2018
Thursday, 2/22, 10:50 a.m. – 12:05 p.m. Knapp Hall, University Club
“Taking a Swig of (and a Swing at) Putin & Trump:
The Popular Geopolitics of Craft Beer” is the title of a lecture to be presented by
Dr. Robert Saunders, Department of History, Politics and Geography. Dr. Saunders’ presentation is the spring’s first lecture in the Dr. Eleanor Fapohunda School of Arts & Science Colloquium Series.
The talk will cover the main points in Dr. Saunders’ recently published article (co-authored with Jack Holland, University of Leeds) on the impact of transnational craft beer on geopolitics. In the paper, they draw on popular culture studies, critical geopolitics, and the literature of everyday resistance to develop a framework for the analysis of the ritual of beer consumption as a form of geopolitical intervention.
