Description
My favorite academic joke: an experienced history professor sets the same final exam question every year. He was asked if he was ever bored with the answers. “O no,” he replied, “the question might be the same, but the answers are always different.” Through reference to film, gothic fiction and local history, this presentation will explore our culture’s complex relationship with the past.
