This Tuesday, November 9, at 7 p.m. in Religion Hall 117, Phi Sigma Tau International Philosophy Honor Society Zeta Chapter and the Liberty University Philosophy Club will be hosting a faculty lecture with Professor Donna Donald, titled "Message Me Your News: Social Media in Early Modern Europe."
Abstract:
"Imagine a world without Facebook, Twitter, text-messaging, email, blogs or even phone calls. Imagine a world without planes, trains or automobiles. In spite of the lack of rapid communication, early modern Europeans were able to build and maintain complex networks of social interaction. As part of her research on 16th- and 17th-century France, Prof. Donald has found some surprising similarities between today's social media and the communication practices of the past."
As a reminder, all lecture events are open to the entire student body and to the general public.
