Jimmy Guignard, Spring 2016 Magliocco Lecture

"Pedaling the Sacrifice Zone: Teaching, Writing, and Living above the Marcellus Shale"

April 21st, 2016 7:00-9:00 pm, Sandburg Theater

This year's Magliocco Lecture will be Dr. Jimmy Guignard, an environmental rhetoric scholar and the Chair of the Department of English at Mansfield University in Pennsylvania.  Dr. Guignard recently published a book entitled "Pedaling the Sacrifice Zone: Teaching, Writing, and Living above the Marcellus Shale."  Part rhetorical criticism, part nonfiction essay, this work uses the transformation of rural Pennsylvania as backdrop to examine the power of rhetoric and the meaning of place.  This year's lecture is being organized by Dr. Neil Baird.
