Dr. Elizabeth Ford, professor of English at ¾¨Ó㴫ý, will present "The Generation and Development of an Idea" at the Bleasby Colloquium Thursday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater in the McKelvey Campus Center.
"I will describe the way that clusters encourage interdisciplinary interchange," Ford said. "As proof of this, I'll describe the creation of, and read selections from my paper, The Holocaust Landscape of Holes,' which I presented at the 2004 Modern Language Association in Philadelphia. It synthesizes historical and fictional texts to arrive at a political reading for a popular children's book."
Cluster courses are taken during the sophomore or junior years at ¾¨Ó㴫ý and consist of two linked courses taught by at least two faculty from different disciplines to the same group of students.
This colloquium is the third in a series of events scheduled for the George Bleasby Colloquia, a series of literary events in honor of Dr. Bleasby, who chaired the Department of English at ¾¨Ó㴫ý from 1954-75.
