Provost's Forum Sept. 17: Dr. Gail Smith presents...

If you are an English major here at BSC, you may have had Professor Gail Smith for classes like EH 389 Contextual Studies in American Literature or EH 330 Major Authors. If you're not an English major, it's still possible that you may know Professor Smith from Intro to Writing or Intro to Fiction. Whatever your connection to Professor Smith, or even if you have no connection to her at all, wouldn't it be an extraordinary opportunity to hear her thoughts on Harriet Beecher Stowe! Here's your chance. Professor of English Gail Smith will be presenting "Faith in the Flesh: Harriet Beecher Stowe's Illustrated Feminist Scripture" during common hour on Thursday, September 17th in Norton Theatre. With Professor Smith's educational background from Yale and University of Virginia and her academic interests in areas like 19th century American Literature, Gender Studies, and Religion and Literature, we're bound to be in for a treat.

Who knew that the alternative title of this Provost's forum would be "Bodacious Babes of the Bible?" This was a lively presentation that incorporated literature, religion, history, art, education, and more... If you missed it, you can catch the podcast later, thanks to Steve Laughlin.
