"The Hun is at the Gate" on March 12!

Thank you to everyone who came out last night for the first lecture in our series on World War I.  We had around 65 people in attendance, and we heard a great mix of perspectives on the origins of the war--including how Queen Victoria was the grandmother of most of the leading figures on all sides!

We hope you can also attend our second talk, "The Hun is at the Gate": The Power of World War I Propaganda, which will be on March 12, 2014, at 7:00 pm in Twomey Auditorium (Wood Hall 100).  Dr. Celia Kingsbury, author of For Home and Country: World War I Propaganda on the Homefront (2010) will share her research and perspectives with us.  Anyone who has been through the National World War I Museum in Kansas City will remember the wall of colorful propaganda posters featured in their displays, so join us to learn how images and ideology were used to mobilize millions of people!
