The state’s controversial decision to dam the region’s rivers for power and water supply changed the landscape forever.

Contractors clearing land for the development of Lake Hartwell met with seventy-eight-year-old Eliza Brock wielding a shotgun and warning the men off her property. Lisa Russell\, author of Lost Cities of North Georgia\, Underwater Ghost Towns of North Georgia\, and the upcoming Lost Mill Towns of North Georgia\, dives into the history hidden beneath North Georgia’s lakes. \nLisa M.

Roman slavery differed from much later U.S. slavery because it was not based on race but was the expected fate of all those defeated in war (including Romans when they fell into enemy hands). Emory professor\, Dr. Judith Evans Grubbs\, will talk about what we know of the lives of these slaves\, including their family relationships and opportunities for freedom. \nAbout Dr. Judith Evans Grubbs \nJudith Evans Grubbs\, Ph.D.\, is a Betty Gage Holland Professor of Roman History at Emory University\, where she has been teaching since 2010.

International students are on the rise\, and domestic students are competing for those scarce\, moderately priced seats at State Flagship institutions. Tuition is up and merit aid is more important than ever. Given high levels of grade inflation\, academic rigor is more important than ever.

But as we’ll discuss\, the novel does so much more: focused on the relationship between two women\, Clare and Irene\, Larsen’s story examines the competing pressures of friendship\, racial loyalty\, and betrayal. This psychological thriller builds towards a set of complicated questions about what it means to have an identity and what one would risk to keep it. Copies of the book are available through Forsyth County Public Library. \nAbout Dr. Ian Afflerbach \nDr. Ian Afflerbach is an Assistant Professor of American Literature at the University of North Georgia\, where he teaches and researches in 20th century American literature\, political history\, African-American studies\, and the history of ideas.
