Westminster Faculty Forum Continues With Rock Star Films
Posted on Monday, November 1, 2004
Dr. Suzanne Prestien, assistant professor of English and public relations, will speak at Faculty Forum Wednesday, Nov. 10, at 11:45 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center.
"My forum, The Good, the Bad, and the Incredibly Lucrative: Star Vehicles,' is about films that feature rock musicians," Prestien said. "My talk will look at the conventions of this subgenre. To accomplish this, I will compare the good' film like the Beatles A Hard Day's Night,' with the bad' movies like Elvis Presley's, Viva Las Vegas.'"
Faculty forum, established in 1990, serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among Westminster College faculty. Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.
Prestien, who has been with Westminster College since 1997, earned her under graduate degree from Kent State University, her master's from the University of Toledo, and her Ph. D. Case Western Reserve University.
