Tuesday Salon: Lily Sheehan, "Haircuts in the Jazz Age: A Conversation about Sex, Gender, Race and Hair in the 1920's through Today"

10/28/11

Contributed by Mara Baldwin

The Handwerker Gallery is pleased to host a salon moderated by Lily Sheehan, Assistant Professor in the Department of English, taking place on Tuesday, November 1, at 4.00 p.m..  Following a presentation on her research, Sheehan will moderate a relevant discussion on how hair enacts a visual dialogue of identity presentation and politics.

The Tuesday Salon is a Handwerker Gallery program aimed at providing students, faculty, staff, and members of the community a forum outside of the classroom for intellectual discussion and debate. Topics are selected by our guest discussant, who provides a 10-minute introduction and moderates the ensuing conversation. 

All Handwerker Gallery events are free and open to the public.  Gallery hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 10 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.; Thursday, 10.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.; and weekends, noon to 5.00 p.m..  The gallery is closed to the public on Tuesdays unless otherwise specified for an event but can accommodate group or class visits by appointment.  Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Mara Baldwin at 607.274.7057.  Please make requests for accommodations as far in advance as possible.
