The Spring 2010 Schemel Forum schedule is officially out!
If you’re into Arthurian Legend, Shakespeare, or medieval books, this semester’s evening courses are for you. University of Scranton faculty members Rebecca Beal, Richard J. Klonoski, Michael Friedman, and the Library’s own Michael Knies will be engaging community members in discussions of books, films, and philosophy relevant to each of their respective topics.
For a look at modern global politics, take a look at this semester’s luncheon seminar series. Author Parag Khanna returns to the University this year on February 17 to discuss “Global Politics and Economics: A 21st Century View.” We’re also looking forward to February 26, when Alex Thier from the United States Institute of Peace will speak on “Enigma and Dilemma: Our Fraught Relationship with Afghanistan and Pakistan,” and March 5, when CNN correspondent Jill Dougherty will speak on “Who Runs Russia? Deciphering Moscow’s Centers of Power.”
Finally, be sure to clear your calendar for the Schemel Forum’s spring concerts. On April 18, contemporary Zimbabwe pianist Jeanette Miklem will perform “A Schumann Recital,” while on June 28, “Tango Power Returns!” will showcase the music of tango masters Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla.
