It’s time for Third Annual Battle of the BadAsses, brought to you by The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies.

This annual lecture battle features three lecturers who take each other on to prove which monarch was the biggest badass of them all. This year’s battle features: Empress Regnant Irene vs. Charlemagne vs. Queen Elizabeth I, with drink specials.

The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies (SASS!) is proud to present a series of free lectures designed to both entertain and enlighten. We meet at The Bedford, the 2nd Tuesday of each month to discuss historical topics that you probably knew at one point but don’t remember anymore. Plus, there will be themed drink specials!

Near Santa Rita, New Mexico, the local Mimbreños have enter into a contract with a Mexican mining company that promises them continued use of their hunting grounds in exchange for safe passage for the company’s convoys. This arrangement has already robbed the band of its self-determination (“Remember the tales of life before the White Man? We lived well without relief flour”), and in any case it can’t last. An American mining company wants in on the profits, and the Mexican government has put a price on Apache scalps: $100 for a brave, $50 for a squaw, and $25 for a child.
