SLU'S ANNUAL PISKOR LECTURE APRIL 17

CANTON -- St. Lawrence University Associate Professor of Speech 
and Theatre Kirk W. Fuoss will deliver the Frank P. Piskor Faculty 
Lecture on Monday, April 17, at 7:30 p.m. in Herring-Cole Hall, on 
the topic "Display Matters: Lynching and Performance."
	Fuoss has won a number of awards for his scholarship on 
lynchings as a form of performance. His 1997 book Striking Performances 
is considered to be ground-breaking in terms of the politics of 
performance, performance historiography and performance in 
everyday life. Fuoss has published numerous essays on the topic as 
well. 
	A member of the St. Lawrence faculty since 1989, Fuoss is a 
graduate of Baylor University, with a master's degree from the University 
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Ph.D. from Louisiana State University. 
	The Piskor Faculty Lectureship was established in 1979 to 
encourage original and continued research among St. Lawrence faculty 
members, to recognize and honor distinguished scholarship and to afford 
the opportunity for faculty to share their learning with the academic 
community.
