Eight other scheduled lectures will also begin at 7:30 on Tuesday evenings from February through April.
The Guerilla Girls will make an appearance at Auerbach Auditorium on March 27th. They have been fighting against discrimination in the realm of politics and the arts. They wear gorilla masks so that their individual identities do not distract from the message.

This “lecture” will be held in Dana 201/Mali 2. In the same room on the following week, Beth Richards of the College of Arts & Sciences (Department of Rhetoric and Writing) will be exploring “that grey area between truth and lie” in creative nonfiction.
