Simon's Rock Lecture Focuses on Woolf - November 12, 2007
GREAT BARRINGTON - Jennifer Browdy de Hernandez, a faculty member in Simon's Rock at Bard College's gender studies and literature program, will speak on "Off the Beaten Path: Virginia Woolf's Critique of Patriarchal Capitalist Militarism" on Monday, Nov. 26, in the McConnell Theater of the Daniel Arts Center.
The lecture will take place at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
This is part of the Seminar Lecture Series, which supplements courses that first- and second-year students are required to take, “First Year Seminar: The Examined Life,” and the “Sophomore Seminar: Voices Against the Chorus.”
