Sea Shanties Scholar to Speak at Guilford Hall Brewery
January 18, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Profs and Pints Baltimore will present “The Tale of Sea Shanties” with Dr. Jessica M. Floyd, a scholar of sea shanties, on Thursday,
Jan. 18, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Baltimore’s Guilford Hall Brewery, 1611 Guilford Avenue.
Floyd is an associate professor of English at the Community College of Baltimore County who has extensively researched sea shanties, especially those sung during the period from 1500 to 1860. She’ll discuss their history, what they tell us about relations aboard ships and the culture of the time when they were sung, and how they’re fascinating cultural objects through which we can encounter sensations of frustration, longing and desire.
Advance tickets are $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. At Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. For information, visit profsandpints.com/baltimore.
