Civility and Culture In Our Time
Dr. Jessica Harris, Professor of English at Queen's College and cookbook author, will speak on "Same Boat, Different Stops: Culinary Connections in the African Atlantic World." A book signing and reception follow the talk.
The talk is part of a four-lecture series, "Civility and Culture in Our Time," which will examine the notion of civility as an essential requirement for successful leadership in the 21st century.
The series pays tribute to Esther Terry, who retired last year as chair of the W.E.B. Du Bois Department Afro-American Studies, and who currently serves as associate chancellor and interim vice chancellor for Student Affairs and Campus Life. To celebrate and sustain the model of civility over adversity exemplified by Terry during her 19-year tenure as department chair, the lectures will be presented this year as part of campus-wide diversity programming. The talks are sponsored by the College of Humanities and Fine Arts and Afro-American Studies.
