Aaron Thomas Presents at Faculty Luncheon Series
This message has been approved by Dr. Janet Kistner, Vice President for Faculty Development and Advancement, for distribution to students, faculty and staff.
Aaron Thomas, Assistant Professor of Theatre in the College of Fine Arts, will present "A Gender of One, a Sexuality of Many: Hedwig and the Practice of Identity” on Tuesday, February 11. Dr. Thomas' major research area is theatrical discourse surrounding sexuality and violence, and he writes primarily about images of violent masculinity in contemporary culture. As an antidote to writing about violence, he also writes extensively in the field of musical theatre studies, where his work, again, focuses on theatrical discourse surrounding sexuality, masculinity, and violence.
The Faculty Luncheon Series, established 1981, is FSU’s longest running, regularly occurring, interdisciplinary lecture series. Open to the public, this is a unique opportunity to enjoy lunch while learning about the research and creative activities of FSU’s faculty.
