Description : Saving souls or furthering French ambition? Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, French Jesuit missionaries spreading Catholicism amongst the indigenous peoples of North America's Eastern Woodlands were also vectors of social transformation according to French elite urban norms. This talk by Bronwen McShea, Ph.D., analyzes the medical and poverty relief efforts by missionaries and how they were bound up in post-Revolutionary, secularized French imperialism: an increasing identification of colonialism with a philanthropic, “civilizing mission” of uplifting poor, less developed societies around the globe. Bronwen McShea is a Visiting Assistant Professor in History at UNO, where she teaches early modern European and world history. She received her Ph.D. in Early Modern European History from Yale University and her Masters in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School. She has published in the Sixteenth Century Journal, The Journal of Jesuit Studies, First Things, and elsewhere.

History
Description : The Romans were brutal conquerors, but it’s usually accepted that they brought peace and prosperity to the provinces. Though some evidence suggests the early Empire experienced economic growth, the nature and extent of that growth remains quite hazy. In his talk, Professor David Hollander (Iowa State University) asks who actually shared in the Imperial “peace dividend.”

Health Awareness
Description : Social Work 1500 students will be meeting weekly with Alliance for a Better Omaha. Alliance is a collective impact partnership between Together, Inc., Heart Ministry Center, and Food Bank for the Heartland. Students will work collaboratively with staff to make approximately five recipe videos (similar to “Tasty” social media videos). They will use selected recipes from the cookbook that was completed this past semester. The service learning group will meet at food for the Heartland on Mondays for filming the videos. The completed videos will be posted on the Together and Heart Ministries websites and Facebook, and played on the lobby tvs. This project will also include volunteering in the food pantries of Together/Heart, and may include tracking inventory outside the pantry hours. Pantry service times to be established based on student availability, but students will be encouraged to have two groups attending the same times together.
