Perhaps you noticed the flax plot in front of Theatre Hall over the summer?  The plot was sponsored by a Research Council grant to Professor Heidi Sherman, and it represents a collaboration between Sherman and Professor Alison Gates (Art and Women & Gender Studies).  Assisted by students Alicia Engstrom and Travis Willer, Sherman and Gates planted and harvested the flax over the summer. They recently began processing the flax, and ultimately they plan to weave the fibers into cloth. This year-long project is part of Prof. Sherman’s research on flax and linen in medieval Russia. For more details, see this blog post, and contact Professor Sherman or Gates if you’d like to get involved!

The Department of Humanistic Studies and the Brown County Library invite you to participate in the next Great Books Discussion Tuesday, October 13 on the Lower Level of the Brown County Library (Central Branch – 515 Pine St., Downtown Green Bay) beginning at 6:30 p.m.

The discussion is free and open to the public.  Faculty, students, and community members are encouraged to attend.  Of course, we encourage you to read the Sir Gawain and the Green Knight before attending the discussion, but even if you cannot, you may find the session enlightening.
