English Professor to Discuss Good and Bad Travel at Faires Faculty Forum
Posted on Monday, January 16, 2012
Dr. David Swerdlow, Westminster College professor of English, will present "Creative Travel" at Faires Faculty Forum Wednesday, Jan. 25, at 11:40 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater of the McKelvey Campus Center.
By reflecting on his experiences, reading from his poetry, and analyzing the texts of more well-known literary figures, Swerdlow will consider some of the differences between good and bad travel. The lecture was originally presented in Greece last October as part of the Institute for Shipboard Education's Distinguished Lecture Series on Global Engagement.
Swerdlow, who serves as chair of Westminster's Department of English and Public Relations, joined the faculty in 1990. He earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland and master's degree and Ph.D. from Ohio University.

Faculty Forum was established in 1990 by Dr. Barbara Faires, Westminster professor of mathematics emerita, during her term as Dean of the College and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Faculty members from all disciplines volunteer to present lectures on their current research, artistic productions, and/or scholarship of teaching and learning. Each forum presents new ideas with innovative lecture techniques.
