Please join us at 1:00pm on Wednesday, February 27, for "The Exploitation of Disability in Dramatic Works: From Shakespeare to Seinfeld" presented by Daniel S. Skoglund, a graduate student in the Department of English.
The topic of Disability Studies has garnered recent attention from numerous academic fields. In the study of English literature, with a particular focus on dramatic works, critics have attempted to assess the way in which dramatists have employed disability within these texts. Generally, disability is only utilized as a character-making trope that is intended to elicit humor, pity, and fear. This discussion attempts to assess how such works manage to induce these emotions as well as trace their presence from the medieval and early modern dramatic works of writers like Shakespeare, to their presence in postmodern works like Seinfeld.
The Library Athenaeum is free and open to the public. The Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the Krueger Library, bluff side. For more information about the fall Athenaeum events please visit: http://www.winona.edu/library/athenaeum/

02/20 - Athenaeum at 1pm - The Flipped WSU Classroom
Please join us at 1:00pm on Wednesday, February 20, for "The Flipped WSU Classroom" presented by Amy Hermodson and Chad Kjorlien.
This presentation/flipped experience is designed to use the flipped instructional strategy during the Athenaeum time. A video presentation will be sent out as an introduction to the experience. The approximately fifty minute video presentation will describe in detail the flipped classroom strategy and different ways it can be used within the classroom curriculum.
The designated Athenaeum time will be spent applying and using the strategies presented in the video to further the audience understanding and knowledge of the flipped classroom experience. Participants in this experience will self-select into different interactive learning experiences that are designed to model the role a student would play in the flipped classroom. These experiences will then be captured and summarized so that they can be shared with the larger group.
To receive the video presentation prior to the Athenaeum presentation and to help the presenters design activities for the presentation, please R.S.V.P either using this form or contact the presenters: Amy Hermodson or Chad Kjorlien.
