Pressly Forum: Prof. Steven Mansbach, "A Swansong without Agamemnon"
Pressly Forum: Prof. Steven Mansbach, "A Swansong without Agamemnon"
Please join us on Wednesday, May 4th at noon, when Steven Mansbach, Interim Chair of our Department and Distinguished University Professor, will offer a series of informal remarks about "how one's field (and one's role in it) has changed fundamentally between [my] start and [my] 'formal academic departure.'" Apart from his presence at the department's commencement ceremony, this Pressly Forum will be a last opportunity here at Maryland to hear and see Professor Mansbach hold forth. As Professor Mansbach notes about the title: [It is] Aeschylus's play about Agamemnon in which the concept of a swansong first enters our culture
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.
We hope you will be able to make it in person, but if not, please join us on zoom:
