Join us for the opening night performance of The Coast of Illyria, this Thursday, April 14th at 7:30 pm, which will be followed by what promises to be a stimulating talkback session with two prominent OSU experts.
Dr. Brad Lander is clinical director of addiction psychiatry at the OSU-Wexner Medical Center. With more than twenty-five years of experience in the science of addiction, Dr. Lander’s presentation “Understanding Addiction: Squirrel Logic,” was recently presented to a packed house of judges, law-enforcement officers and treatment professionals at a statewide opiate conference in Columbus.
Dr. Robyn Warhol is Arts and Humanities Distinguished Professor of English at OSU. Her areas of expertise include British Romantic & Victorian literature, 19th-century women's writing, narrative theory, and gender studies. As a feminist narratologist, Warhol studies the interrelations between gender and narrative forms in literature and popular culture. Among other publications, Warhol has written Having a Good Cry: Effeminate Feelings and Popular Forms (2003), a study of the ways sentimental, romantic, and serial texts work to establish and reinforce gendered performance in fans of long-form TV series, Hollywood film, and Victorian and contemporary serial fiction, and Gendered Interventions: Narrative Discourse in the Victorian Novel (1989), an early work of feminist narratology which explicates her model of the “engaging narrator.”
