Featuring Paul Mullins, "Glazed America:  The History of the Doughnut"

Paul Mullins turns his attention to the simple doughnut in order to learn more about North American culture and society. Both a breakfast staple and a snack to eat any time of day or night, doughnuts cross lines of gender, class, and race like no other food item. Favorite doughnut shops that were once neighborhood institutions remain unchanged--even as their surrounding neighborhoods have morphed into strip clubs, empty lots, and abandoned housing. Blending solid scholarship with humorous insights, Mullins offers a look into doughnut production, marketing, and consumption. He confronts head-on the question of why we often paint doughnuts in moral terms, and shows how the seemingly simple food reveals deep and complex social conflicts over body image and class structure.

Scholarship at Lunchtime: Understanding Religion in American Life and the Role of the IUPUI in that Endeavor featuring Phillipp Goff, School of Liberal Arts

Dr. Goff is the Director of the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture. The Center aims at increasing awareness and understanding of the diversity of American religious life and the manifold forms in which religion reveals itself in culture.

Rachel Wheeler, "To Live upon Hope:  Mohicans and Missionaries in the Eighteenth-centurey Northeast"

Through extensive research, especially in the Moravian records of day-to-day life, Rachel Wheeler offers an understanding of the lived experience of Mohican communities under colonialism. She complicates the understanding of eighteenth-century American Christianity by demonstrating that mission programs were not always driven by the destruction of indigenous culture and the advancement of imperial projects. In To Live upon Hope, Wheeler challenges the prevailing view of accommodation or resistance as the two poles of Indian responses to European colonization; colonialism placed severe strains on native peoples, yet Indians also exercised a level of agency and creativity that aided in their survival.She systematically employs the rich German-language Moravian archive to study New England Indian history. This path-breaking use of sources and Wheeler's fine-grained analysis of the differing Moravian and Congregationalist priorities are major achievements.
