The Donner Party
Almost everyone who has studied American history has heard of the ill-fated Donner party. Leaving too late in the season, plus following bad advice, left them stuck high in the Sierras, inadequately prepared to go over the pass or to wait out the winter by the Truckee (now Donner) Lake.

"Culture" or "How I Spotted Cannibals"
I sometimes hesitate to talk about culture, as everyone seems to have a different idea of what it is. “Oh, you study culture?” people say, imagining me and a group of wildly decorated cannibals standing around the pot as if it were the local water-cooler. Actually, even those with fairly sophisticated ideas of the concept often don’t realize that culture can fit into a split second, cracking open the world into a rich spectrum of practices and beliefs. If there is one message you take away from this, it is that culture is everything, defining every moment of human existence from conception to the afterlife.

An English Lady in the French Colonies, Part IV
A great many female European travelers visited places in the various European empires during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and wrote travel accounts of these places. It has been argued by feminist scholars that many of them wrote differently than their male counterparts, in particular showing more empathy for the individuals they met and including more "feminine" topics. Gabrielle Vassal, and English lady married to a French colonial physician belies this model, and in this 5 part series, I show how she complicates the history of gender and colonialism. Part 4 of a 5 part series.
