Abolitionists in Our Midst: The Doyle Conspiracy of 1848Though some historians have used the term "mild" to describe slavery in Kentucky, thereare many documented instances of resistance to slavery in the Commonwealth.

The DoyleConspiracy, the largest attempted slaveescape in Kentucky history, ended when the fugitives were captured inBracken County.Prichard's talkrewrites the history of thisevent, and provides a glimpse of Kentuckyslavery that strongly contradicts the traditional stereotypes of"kind masters" and "faithfulservants."

Trouble spots
Ireland: Origin of the TroublesTo many, the recurring violence in Ireland is an incomprehensible mix offeud and religioussectarianism. But the history of the conflict becomes understandable when viewed throughthe events that brought the English to Ireland in the 12ih century, and the next four hundredyears ofinteraction between the Irish and English. In this talk. Reynolds will explain theorigins ofthe troubles so that the modem flows naturally from the medieval, makingtomorrow's headlines, if notpredictable, at least much more understandable.• Lectem; microphone.
Background on the BalkansWhy are the Croats mortal enemie.s ofthe Serbs? Why are Albanians fighting Macedonians?Where will the violence erupt next in the volatile Balkan peninsula? Reynolds says theanswers to these questions lie in the distant past when the diverse peoples and cultures nowinhabiting the Balkans were formed. From the empire-building Serb "tsar" Stefan Dusan tothe dividing force ofdifferent alphabets, the Balkans today are in fact the Balkans ofthe latemiddle ages. In this talk, Reynolds will show how the lines ofdivergence in religion, cultureand history in the late middle ages lead to the problems that bedevil the 21st-centur>'Balkans.
