397. New Spain Apr 11, 2025

Show notes

For 300 years Mexico was known as "New Spain" ruled by a viceroy in the name of the Spanish monarch. The port of Acapulco became the New World terminus of the transpacific trade with the Philippines via the Manila galleon. Mexico thus became a vital link between Spain's New World domain and its East Indies Empire.

E109. Gloriana, The Virgin Queen Apr 10, 2025

Show notes

Let’s examine the clever and effective use of political art during the reign of Queen Elizabeth while visiting Jesus College founded in 1571 under the reign of the Monarch, making it the only Elizabethan College within the University of Oxford. Paintings of her likeness demonstrated the Tudor concept of power. The portraiture of Queen Elizabeth the First of England illustrates the evolution of English royal portraits from the representations of simple likenesses to the later multifaceted imagery used to convey the power, authority, supremacy and aspirations of the state, as well as of the monarch at its head. Elizabeth paid more attention to propaganda than art, disseminating her portraits widely throughout her realm, including North America. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation!

396. Decolonizing Curricula Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

Many believe, too many historical occurrences, figures, and concepts have been recently boycotted and spurned from contemporary society. Decolonizing the curriculum involves critically examining and transforming traditional academic frameworks to better reflect the experiences and perspectives of marginalized communities, promoting inclusivity and challenging dominant narratives. But is this a good thing?

E108. Queen Elizabeth I Apr 07, 2025

Show notes

Elizabeth was born at Greenwich in 1533 and was the daughter of the Tudor King Henry VIII by his second wife Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister Queen Mary to the throne in 1558. Elizabeth’s long reign was one of the most brilliant in English history. Referred to as The Golden Age, it is remembered for the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots the year before, and for many important voyages of exploration and discovery to North America. Known as the Virgin Queen, the colony of Virginia along the eastern coast was named after her. Enjoy this ENCORE Presentation!
