2-day Minicourse, March 5 and 12
Description: Some inventions come readily to mind—the wheel, the airplane, the telephone. But what about eyeglasses, paper, nails and screws, or even paint?
Richard Harris will lead a thought-provoking exploration of a wide range of inventions, including many we often overlook—such as rope, without which worldwide exploration would not have been possible. Audience members are encouraged to bring their own nominations for impactful inventions and ideas.
Presenter: Richard Harris, Director Emeritus Disability Services, Ball State University, and all-round history aficionado.
