SaddleBrooke Freethinkers Club is proud to have Nell Brownell PhD speak on “Witchcraft Through the Ages“ at the DesertView Theater on Sunday, October 29 at 2 p.m.
Dr. Brownell is no stranger to SaddleBrooke. She has given talks to our group and the GLAAS (Gays, Lesbians and Allies At SaddleBrooke) Club. She has also given classes for SaddleBrooke’s Institute for Learning in Retirement. Dr. Brownell creates an approach to her subject that helps individuals to move beyond the rote memorization of historical dates to a broader understanding of important themes and helps them develop an ability to critically evaluate the sources and interpretations of our American past. She earned a doctorate from Brown University that focused on the social and political history of the early 20th century. Dr. Brownell is currently retired after 25-years of teaching a wide variety of American history in small colleges and universities.
