The Dons, now in their 26th year, are a cross-disciplinary gathering of Towson University faculty who, in a non-specialized way, share their scholarly and creative interests, sabbatical reports, or works published or progressing. All faculty are members because one aim, besides keeping the intellectual tide high and wide, is to make our large campus smaller and its collegiality stronger.
Unless otherwise noted, meetings begin on Fridays at 3:30pm in the University Club, Towson University Marriott, before the happy hour when good spirits contribute to spirited talk.
Friday, September 26: John McLucas (Italian and Latin) – “Fine Arts in Support of Teaching the Orlando Furioso” in the College Liberal Arts, room 4118
Friday, October 31: John Govern (Psychology) – “Self-Persuasion Increases Scientific Literacy: ‘I’ll Believe It When I Convince Myself'”
Friday, November 21: Julie Knight (Regional Economic Studies Institute) – “Contemporary EU Enlargement and Economic Migration”
Friday, December 12: Susan Kirchner (Dance) – “A Postmodern Perspective on Choreography”
All are welcome to the talks and welcome also to give a talk. Contact George Hahn in the English Department at ghahn@towson.edu to receive a list of past presentations or to book a date for yourself.
