Description
Join us at the Coyote Twin Theatre on Monday night to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. The reception features a community art show, songs by USD Theatre Department, beverages (by The Bean), food, and birthday cake. There will also be a film screening of Ex Machina, a contemporary adaptation of Shelley's novel. The next day at the USD MUC ballroom there will be four panels starting at 9:30am and ending at 5:00pm and a keynote lunch speaker at 12:30pm. Guest speaker Dr. Joel Pace--English Professor from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and reggae musician--will talk about issues of race in Frankenstein. Lunch is included. The flash-lecture style panels discuss a range of issues, from Frankenstein's legacy in literature to its influence in biology, law, computing science, and more.
