Book Discussion Series Begins in February 2010

Beginning in February of 2010, the Library will again host the popular Reading Between the Lines book discussion series. "Immigration and the Idea of America" will be facilitated by Dr. Neeta Bhasin, Assistant Professor in the Writing and Rhetoric program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

Dr. Bhasin’s research and pedagogical interests focus on the intersection of language and identity, with special emphasis on migrant/immigrant identities and Diasporas, the relationship between language and culture, race and ethnic studies, and nationalisms.

To register for this program, contact Beth Horn at (315) 781-2935 or bhorn@pls-net.org.
