Books will be available for sale and signing (cash/check only) courtesy of Gulf of Maine Books.

Jennifer Lunden is an author, poet, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and former therapist. She is the recipient of the 2019 Maine Arts Fellowship for literary arts and the 2016 Bread Loaf-Rona Jaffe Foundation Scholarship in Nonfiction.

Jane Brox’s fifth book, Silence, was selected as an Editors’ Choice by The New York Times Book Review and received the Maine Literary Award for Nonfiction.  Her previous book, Brilliant: The Evolution of Artificial Light, was named one of the top ten nonfiction books of 2010 by Time magazine.  She is also the author of Clearing Land: Legacies of the American Farm; Five Thousand Days Like This One, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in nonfiction; and Here and Nowhere Else, which won the L.L. Winship/PEN New England Award. Brox has received the New England Book Award for nonfiction, and her essays have appeared in many journals and anthologies including Best American Essays, The Norton Book of Nature Writing, The Georgia Review and NewYorker.com.  She has been awarded grants from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the Maine Arts Commission.

Colleagues, Friends of Evan Gershkovich ‘14 Coming to Bowdoin College Campus to Highlight Journalist’s Plight

7:30 p.m.–8:45 p.m. Pickard Theater, Memorial Hall and livestreamed at bowdoin.edu/live

Free and open to the public

(BRUNSWICK, MAINE)—Friends and colleagues of Evan Gershkovich, of the Bowdoin College Class of 2014, are coming to the Bowdoin campus September 26 to keep the plight of the jailed Wall Street Journal reporter in the spotlight and highlight the ongoing struggle for press freedom in much of the world.

Gershkovich, who was based in Moscow, was arrested by the Russian authorities five months ago while on assignment in the city of Yekaterinburg in the east of the country and charged with espionage, although no evidence has been presented. Today he remains behind bars in Moscow, in pretrial detention for at least another three months, in spite of repeated calls for his release from the White House, US lawmakers, the United Nations, international media organizations, and others.

A community conversation will be held on campus on September 26 to talk about Gershkovich, his work as a journalist, his life as a student, and the broader theme of the challenges facing independent journalism in places like Russia. The event is the brainchild of Gershkovich’s Bowdoin friends and fellow journalists Linda Kinstler ’13 and Nora Biette-Timmons ’14. The gathering, they said, will be a chance to bring Gershkovich’s friends, teachers, colleagues, and supporters from Bowdoin and beyond together to rally support for Evan, and to underscore the threats to journalists all over the world.

“Our friend and colleague Evan has been imprisoned in Moscow for five months, simply because he was doing his job,” said Kinstler. “We want to make sure that Evan comes home as soon as possible, and want him to know that we are thinking about him and keeping his case front of mind.”

The discussion panel, to be moderated by Professor of Government and Asian Studies Henry Laurence, will include A. Leroy Greason Professor of English Brock Clarke, who has fond memories of teaching Gershkovich in his creative writing class. “I thought the world of Evan when he was a student, and I think the world of him as a journalist, and a human being. I look forward to talking and hearing more about him on the twenty-sixth,” said Clarke.

The panel is also due to feature the WSJ’s Washington editor, Paul Beckett. “What happened to Evan,” said Beckett, “is indicative of the increasing risks faced by journalists around the world, and it’s critical we continue to highlight not only his case but also how this sort of assault on journalism ultimately impacts everyone. Press freedom is absolutely essential for a free society, and we’re grateful for all of Bowdoin’s support for Evan as well as the opportunity to bring this important discussion to campus.”

“Having so many people come together from different parts of Evan’s life to plan this event was very important to us, and we are so grateful to everyone who’s helped make it happen,” said Biette-Timmons.

The event will be held Tuesday, September 26, 7:30 p.m.–8:45 p.m., in Pickard Theater, Memorial Hall, and will be livestreamed at bowdoin.edu/live. Check the Bowdoin Calendar for more details as the date approaches.

September History Happy Hour at Pejepscot History Center

Steps in Time: Dance as Cultural Performance with June Vail

September 28 at 5:30pm

at Pejepscot History Center, 159 Park Row, Brunswick, Maine

Dancing is a fundamentally human activity: a badge of identity, a mode of communication, a force in social life. Everyone dances: How we move and dance are physical, emotional, spiritual, aesthetic, and social behaviors. So, are all dances “ethnic?” How does a tango, a pas de deux, a Super Bowl half-time show, or an Abenaki line dance embody and communicate messages for participants and viewers?  What can the comparative study of dance tell us about contemporary American — as well as more unfamiliar — cultures? June Vail, founder of Bowdoin’s dance program and Professor of Dance Emerita, discusses dance as cultural performance.

Tickets: $8 PHC Members; $12 General Admission

As part of Harvest Week 2023, MCHPP is excited to offer a free 3-part community discussion series in partnership with the Maine Humanities Council. The discissions will be guided by our facilitator, Lacey Sparks, and grounded in selected texts: Saturday at the Food Pantry by Diane O’Neill and The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson. Our hope is for participants to examine and discuss the deep interconnections between community, our food system and food security. Participation is free and the selected texts are provided at no cost.

The group will convene in-person for three consecutive Thursdays: 9/28, 10/5, and 10/12 from 5:30pm-7:00pm. Space is limited and we ask that participants are able to commit to attending all three discussions. Advanced registration required!

We look forward to being in community with you! Please reach out to Rena at rpulfer@mchpp.org with any questions.

Encore walking tour! In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Brunswick Mall, local historian Jym St. Pierre lead another tour of “From Swamp to Centerpiece: The Brunswick Town Mall at 200” on Sunday, October 1, 2023 at 1pm.

In June, 1823, three local men conveyed by deed real estate that included the Mall area stretching from Pleasant Street to First Parish Church. The town paid them five cents. The deed specified that the land was to be used only “as a public walk or Mall” forever. So far, that promise has been honored, but in many different ways over the past two centuries. As you walk around the Mall, Jym St. Pierre will talk about, and share images of, the many changes the parcel has gone through over time.

Participants meet at starting point; driving directions and parking information provided upon registration. Please check-in with tour leader at least 10 minutes prior to tour time.

Tours are limited to 20 unless otherwise noted. PHC maintains a waiting list for each tour in case of cancellations.

Pejepscot History Center’s Summer Walking Tour Series

Le Petit Pont: Life and Work by the Androscoggin

with Candace Kanes

Beginning in the parking lot of what is now known as Fort Andross, we will imagine the streets and buildings that were once home to its many employees when the building produced cotton fabric and was known as the Cabot Mill. We will continue the imagining as we walk (very carefully) along Mill Street to Le Petit Pont, the structure we now call the Swinging Bridge to explore its history and its relationship to the mill, mill workers and the community on the west end of the bridge, Topsham Heights. We will cross the bridge to Topsham Heights. While there is still much to look at, we will have to use our imaginations to see the area as it was when the bridge was built in 1892 and the several decades after. For those who wish to do so, we can continue the walk along the paved path by the Androscoggin that will connect us to Main Street in Topsham and the Green Bridge to return to Fort Andross.

Participants meet at starting point; driving directions and parking information provided upon registration. Please check-in with tour leader at least 10 minutes prior to tour time.
