10/13 - Athenaeum at 1pm - The Cycle of Love in Edna St. Vincent Millay’s Fatal Interview by Gabe Dybing

Please join us on Wednesday, October 13, at 1:00pm for " The Cycle of Love in Edna St. Vincent Millay’s Fatal Interview” presented by Gabe Dybing.

In the midst of the Modernist literary movement, Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) resisted poetic trends by continuing to work with outmoded “fixed forms,” most prominently with the sonnet. In one of her most famous sequences, Fatal Interview (1931), Millay subverts what had once been considered a “masculine” form, thereby redefining what it means to love, lust, and lose in the early twentieth century. Dybing will lecture and share poems particularly demonstrative of Millay’s restructuring methods.

9/29 - Athenaeum at 1pm - Civic Media by James A. Bowey

Please join us on Wednesday, September 29, at 1:00pm for “Civic Media” presented by James A. Bowey.

One of the important questions concerning media scholars and practitioners is whether the Internet is leading to a more polarized and insular society. This lecture will examine this issue and explore models and ideas for using Internet technologies to enhance civic engagement, and look at the role of journalism and higher education in developing a civic media. The lecture will also present findings and experiences from the Winona360 civic media project to illustrate these issues and ideas.
