The Museum Auditorium, Faner Hall, SIUC
Dr. Rusty Barrett (Univ. Kentucky) is coming to SIUC and will give a talk on Feb. 28th (Th), 3-4pm @ The Museum Auditorium on gender, ethnicity, performance, and language. (Some of you may recall his name from his other famous paper on racial talk in Mexican Restaurant in Texas.) This is a great opportunity for not only us, anthropology (graduate) students, but also for non-anthro major
undergraduates to meet a well-known, interesting linguistic anthropologist discussing his work which is applicable to various fields of inquiry, not limited to linguistics and linguistic anthropology.
So, please make a time, come to his talk, and encourage your students/friends to go too!
