Going Public 2023-2024: "Audio from the Archive"

The 2023-2024 Season of Going Public features "audio from the archive" of Katz Distinguished Lecturers. Each month, we are releasing a past lecture from speakers such as Robin D.G. Kelley (2010) and Wendy Brown (2008). We invite you to share the lectures with students in your classrooms and join us in listening to an archive of public lectures in the humanities.

Now Streaming: The Maple Cutter

The Maple Cutter is an Unthinkable Films Production from Danny Hoffman, Lynn M. Thomas, and Michael Sanderson. It follows the 2018 Maple Fire, which burned more than 3000 acres of Washington State’s Olympic National Forest. Late that summer night, Justin was in pursuit of figured Big Leaf Maple, a rare wood coveted by guitar makers, when things went horribly wrong. For the first time, the full film is now available and streaming for free on the Simpson Center YouTube Channel.
