Nerd Nite Hudson Valley includes three unforgettable presentations you’ll want to take home with you and share. Badass Women Warriors of the Middle Ages, by Nancy Bisaha, Professor of History and Director of Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Vassar College, reveals the dozens of incredible women warriors that are not Joan of Arc, in this appropriately themed talk for Women’s History Month. Investigative journalist and author Cillian Dunne offers How A Dictator is Built and Broken: My Time Living with Noriega’s Right-Hand Man in which he demonstrates how dictators are not born but carefully engineered through intelligence agencies, money, and foreign policy, and proves that the same system eventually turns on the strong men they built in the first place. Finally, comedian and writer Luke Strathmann, presents Surveillance Capitalism and Digital Secrets You Wish Your Family Didn’t Know About You, exploring who the real risk can come from the people who see our digital behavior close up, and not from Big Tech.
