Society for the Advancement of Social Studies
All the history you knew but forgot, and
all the booze you need to forget it again.

The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies (SASS), The Brooklyn Brainery, and Public Assembly are proud to present a series of free lectures designed to both entertain and enlighten. On the first Tuesday of month, we will discuss a different historical topic that you probably knew at one point but don’t remember anymore.

This will be accompanied by fun games, surprise guests, and most importantly THEMED DRINK SPECIALS from the good folks at Public Assembly, which everyone knows is the best way to ensure maximum knowledge gained.

Meet Our November Guest Speaker, Reema!

Reema is a Middle East specialist and a terrible bowler. Her current obsession is the history of New York, from the draft riots and Typhoid Mary to Robert Moses and the transformation of Brooklyn. Reema and New York have been dating for four years now, and it’s starting to get serious.

Come on down to Public Assembly on November 8th and Reema will inform your inquisitive minds as to the events and struggles going on in New York City during the Civil War. We’ll also be discussing the events leading up to the war AND the whole damned thing (each in 20 minutes or less!).

Even more: there’s also going to be a themed cocktail, a BEARD OFF, and sweet spun tunes by Mr. DJ Phury after the events.
