Event Description

“Media, Pop Culture & History”
Virtual Panel Discussion: 1/27, 6 p.m. EST
 
Since the dawn of film and television, writers, directors and actors have sought to retell history. Period pieces can spark debates, nostalgia and fierce critique—but how do film, television and now video games shape our understanding of the real stories behind the screen? And what can the history of that media tell us about the history that surrounds it?
 
On Tuesday, January 27 at 6 p.m. EST, join Villanova University’s Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest for a free webinar on the history behind some of our favorite pop culture and the rise of mass visual media. 
 
Featuring Peter Raleigh, PhD, Long Library, Pamela Robertson Wojcik, PhD, University of Notre Dame, Makeba Lavan, PhD, Grinnell College and Jeremiah McCall, PhD, Cincinnati Country Day School. Registration link: https://bit.ly/4s0cbOo
