Profs and Pints presents: Witches and Witch Hunts
Last summer, Donald Trump tweeted that he was the victim of the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history! Critics of the #MeToo movement have warned of a Salem atmosphere in Hollywood and beyond. But what does it really mean when men in positions of power claim to be victims of a witch hunt? And what about the real history of the witch trials, which claimed the lives of tens of thousands of women in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Europe?
Come explore the history of the witch hunts real and rhetorical with Mikki Brock, teacher of a class on witch-hunts at Washington and Lee and author of Satan and the Scots: The Devil in Post-Reformation Scotland, c.1560-1700. (Tickets $10 in advance, $12 at the door.)
