Juniper Serra and Jose de Galvez in 18th century California. Included in this discussion are the motivations for explorations, examining interactions with the Natives, and the colonial systems established to lay claim to these areas.  This will be a live-streamed session.  Register now to get a spot!  Look for the live-stream link in your an hour before the event.
