Pressly Forum: Prof. Joshua Shannon, “The Art-Sociology Building in Historical Context: The University and the Human Being c. 1972”
Please join us on Wednesday, April 27th at noon, when Professor Joshua Shannon peels back the layers of our building's history to when it was concept and brand new in a special Pressly Forum. The title of his talk is “The Art-Sociology Building in Historical Context: The University and the Human Being c. 1972,” and doubtless will draw on many of the ideas raised in Professor Shannon's new book Humans. During the talk, we'll even get a chance to see rare clips from a student science fiction film that used the new building as its otherworldly backdrop. We're planning (and hoping) for an in-person event with a streaming component, but can go fully virtual if needed.
The Pressly Forum offers members of Department faculty and selected speakers to give a talk to members of the Department (faculty, staff, students) in an effort to create bonds of intellectual and collegial community. The forum is the brainchild of Professor Emeritus William L. Pressly, after whom the forum now is named.
