SUMMARY:Seeking the Wildest West: Histories of Wilderness Experiences and Challenges To Their Future
DESCRIPTION:VOYAGER LECTURE SERIES\nSeeking the Wildest West:\nHistories of Wilderness Experiences and Challenges To Their Future\nDr. Brenden Rensink\nTuesday\, October 6\, 2026\nSocial Hour at 6:30p // Presentation at 7:30p\nWhat does it mean to experience the West as truly wild—and what will it take to keep it that way?\nJoin historian Dr. Brenden Rensink for an engaging exploration of the American West and our evolving relationship with wilderness. Drawing on histories of outdoor experience\, recreation\, conservation\, and the landscapes themselves\, Dr. Rensink examines how generations have sought out\, understood\, and shaped the idea of the “wild” West. \nLooking to the future\, the conversation will consider the growing challenges facing these treasured places and ask what the history of wilderness can teach us about preserving meaningful encounters with wild landscapes for generations to come. \nBrenden W.

A historian of the American West\, borderlands\, Indigenous peoples\, environment\, genocide studies\, and religion\, his recent books include the award-winning Native but Foreign: Indigenous Immigrants and Refugees in the North American Borderlands (2018) and Essays on American Indian and Mormon History (2019)\, and The North American West in the Twenty-First Century (2022). He is Project Manager and General Editor of the Intermountain Histories digital public history project\, Host and Producer of the Writing Westward Podcast\, and editor of the University of New Mexico Press “The West in Context” series. Rensink is currently researching environmental and cultural histories of “wilderness” adventuring and experience in the West. \n\nTICKETS\n

SUMMARY:VOYAGER LECTURE SERIES: The Domínguez-Escalante Expedition
DESCRIPTION:VOYAGER LECTURE SERIES\nThe Domínguez-Escalante Expedition\nand Spanish Mapping of the North American West\nDr. Charlotte Hansen Terry\nThursday\, November 5\, 2026\nSocial Hour at 6:30p // Presentation at 7:30p\nWhen people in the United States generally think about 1776\, they think about the signing of the Declaration of Independence. But what else was happening during that same period across the continent? \nCome learn more about what was occurring in the North American West. The Domínguez–Escalante expedition left Santa Fe in 1776 to try and find an overland route to California\, and that journey brought them here to our own back yard in Southern Utah. \nDr. Charlotte Hansen Terry is an Assistant Professor of U.S. History at Utah State University – Uintah Basin campus. She frequently teaches U.S. history\, Utah history\, and the history of the American West. Her research focuses on the varied connections between the North American West and Pacific\, including the movement of people and ideas and the relationships between religions\, empires\, and nations in the region. She is excited to be back in Utah and living near the Uintas which she has hiked since childhood. \nTICKETS
