SUMMARY:Pub Talk! Ice Age Americans and the Giant Python Problem
DESCRIPTION:DiscourseBHAM! It’s like a college class\, but there’s drinking. \nOne of archaeology’s biggest debates is when and how people first arrived in the Americas. To get at that question\, this talk turns to a surprising and terrifying source: Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades. By putting these two stories side by side\, this talk offers a vivid new way to think about how humans first spread across a continent\, and a reminder that sometimes the best way to understand the distant past is to look closely at the present. \nDr. Shane Miller is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Alabama. A prehistoric archaeologist\, his research focus includes the peopling of the Americas and the origins of agriculture in North America\, among other topics. He works principally at Paleoindian and archaic sites throughout the Southeast region but also is invested in research elsewhere (he has even recently been working at Middle Stone Age cave sites in Morocco) and is a sophisticated methodologist.

Isn’t it a bit self-obsessed to think to think anyone cares that you bought a water bottle on Amazon or binged Stranger Things on Netflix? It’s not like we’re all going to just stop using devices… and if you’re not doing anything wrong then you should have nothing to hide\, right? \nWe’ll untangle these things with clear\, practical insights you can use to think and act intelligently about your privacy in the modern world. \n*In partnership with Thank You Books\, we’re celebrating the launch of the speaker’s new book On Privacy: 20 Lessons to Live By. \nEveryone will receive: \n✅ A free privacy slide for their laptop   \n✅ Punchy no-nonsense language to explain why your privacy matters  \n✅ Easy\, real-world steps to better protect your data—without ditching your phone or laptop \n✅ A signed copy of the book (if you want to buy one there) \nDr. Lawrence Cappello is an award-winning professor of U.S. legal & constitutional history at the University of Alabama.

SUMMARY:Pregnant in Alabama: Poetry\, Storytelling\, and the Maternal Health Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Put on by the DiscourseBHAM Public Lecture Series. \nThe United States is in the midst of a maternal health crisis\, and Alabama is at its epicenter. The statistics are staggering—but numbers alone can’t tell the full story. Too often\, the voices of mothers\, the ones living this reality\, are left unheard. \nIn this powerful and thought-provoking talk\, social worker Dr. Haley Beech moves beyond the data\, using poetry to illuminate the personal experiences behind the numbers. Through verse and storytelling\, she invites us to listen—to truly hear—the stories that statistics can’t capture. This is more than a lecture; it’s an opportunity to engage with the lived realities of pregnant people in Alabama\, to reflect on the urgency of the crisis\, and to recognize the power of personal narratives in shaping change. Women have powerful stories to tell. We just need to be open to hearing them. \nDr. Haley Beech is an adjunct instructor at the University of Alabama Honors College. She earned her PhD in social work in 2023 and her Master’s in social work in 2013 from the University of Alabama. A licensed master social worker\, Haley provides perinatal mental health services at Taproot Therapy Collective. Her passion for this work is rooted in her lived experiences and the many untold stories of mothers’ trauma before\, during\, and after childbirth. Haley is a social worker\, feminist writer\, researcher\, poet\, mother\, partner\, and friend. She lives in Alabaster\, Alabama\, with her two children and miniature schnauzer.
