Public Invited to Dec. 2 Downtown Dialogues on the Humanities
ECU students, faculty and staff are invited to attend the Downtown Dialogues on the Humanities fall semester event, “Creating, Tending, and Razing the Border: A Pecha Kucha on Division,” on Tuesday, Dec. 2, at the Greenville Museum of Art.
This free interdisciplinary event is in broad recognition of the 25th anniversary of the historic fall of the Berlin Wall. It is the first Downtown Dialogues event to make use of the Japanese “Pecha Kucha” presentation style. This fast-paced approach blends the visual with the verbal in brief, six-and-a-half minute presentations by several East Carolina University experts, followed by audience discussion with the panel.
The event begins with a free reception of hors d’oeuvres and refreshments, starting at 5 p.m., with the Pecha Kucha beginning at 5:30 p.m. and discussion ending at 7 p.m. Featured experts include Susan Pearce, associate professor, Department of Sociology; Kristy Ulibarri, assistant professor, Department of English; and Daniel Goldberg, assistant professor, Department of Bioethics and Interdisciplinary Studies.
