Dr. Bob Klips, Associate Professor of Biology at Ohio State Marion, focuses his research on plant ecology, including pollination ecology and prairie ecosystem restoration. What would any of this be without bugs? Insects are the most abundant and diverse animals,
found in practically every ecosystem. By knowing features of the major insect orders, we can understand something about any insect we see. This presentation will uncover the distinctive metamorphosis types, feeding strategies and body forms that we can use
to recognize the insects of central Ohio. It will include descriptions of the many field guides and other identification manuals that serve as guides to this fascinating world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

This class will ask you to investigate the alien encounters that made “America.” When Old and New Worlds met, the clash shook identities and truths that had seemed eternal. The unthinkable became reality, and ideas that previous generations would have judged
insane—democracy, for instance—became “American.” In this class, we will meet some of the criminals, captives, rebels, so-called “lunatics,” and outcasts who emerged as “American” authors, and we will examine the strange new literature they wove out of their
experiences on the edge of the unknown. In short, we’ll try to map the development of an American psychology and understand the aliens in our own minds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

In this class, we’ll examine the phenomenon of American “popular culture” by focusing on its strangest and most dynamic aspect: fan culture. One could argue that all fiction is fan fiction and that every film is a fan film, but this is explicitly true of many
popular productions, which emerge out of an interaction with a restless public. We’ll investigate the nature of that interaction and figure out its rules and its mysterious purposes and effects. As we sweep through American history, you’ll learn about the
origins of American pop culture and fandom (in sensational murder coverage and minstrel shows) and then track them through the dawn of Hollywood’s celebrity culture and into the internet and comic-con era with its explosion of fan-produced content. By the
end of the course, you’ll participate in this process, too, by creating your own short fan fic or film.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
