The object of the blog isn't to be a calendar of events, but sometimes the broader message of our news is simply the volume (and tone!) of activity that wends its way through the Franklin College and UGA. It's that time of year again - which, really could be almost any week in the academic year. But Spring semester seems to bring out our best. This is just one day - today:
The department of English hosts a lecture, "'Let Us Have Faith That Right Makes Might': Proverbial Rhetoric in Decisive Moments of American Politics," Wolfgang Mieder, University of Vermont. 4 p.m., 265 Park Hall
The Willson Center presents a lecture by assistant professor of history Jennifer L. Palmer, "An Ocean Between Them: Race, Gender, and the Family in France and its Colonies," at 4 p.m. at the Jackson Street Building (the former Visual Arts Building, nee LDSOA).
The Willson Center and the Lamar Dodd School of Art presents "Printedness," a lecture by visiting artist Karen Kunc, at 5:30 p.m. in room S150 of the school of art.
University Theatre presents a new work by faculty member John Kundert-Gibbs, 'Must Go On', at 8 p.m. in the Fine Arts Building Cellar Theatre.
The Hugh Hodgson School of Music music therapy program present the Music Therapy Musicale at 8 p.m. in Edge Hall
And that doesn't count the film Man on Wire at Tate, women's basketball (the men play at Arkansas on ESPN), The Tokyo String Quartet at the PAC, or the Third Thursday evening of art at the GMOA. It's like you live in a major city, brimming with cultural offerings of every kind. So get out there.
