The Dons, now in their 27th year, are a cross-disciplinary gathering of faculty who share scholarly interests or works in progress in a non-specialized way with academics from accounting to zoology. One hope is to make our large campus smaller and its collegiality stronger. You’re welcome to attend any or all of the autumn talks listed below, and welcome to volunteer to give a talk yourself. Every Towson University professor is a member of the Dons; attend once to activate your membership.
The remaining two meetings this semester occur on the following Fridays in the College of Liberal Arts building, after which we move to the University Club at the Towson University Marriott Conference Hotel where a good bar combines bracing spirits with spirited talk.
November 18 at 4:00pm in LA 3150 with Beth Clifford, Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice – “Allies or Rivals? The Relationship between Immigrants and African Americans in the Black Press”
December 2 at 3:00pm in LA 4211 with Nancy Siegel, Art History – “Woe to Drunkards: A Distilled History of the Founding Fathers”
