Washington University in St. Louis
by Liam Otten
A heads-up to all our loyal readers in St. Louie...
Later this month, the Center for the Humanities at Washington University — in partnership with the Missouri Humanities Council, Webster University and the University of Missouri-St. Louis’s Center for the Humanities — will present the first annual St. Louis Humanities Festival.
The two-day event, which takes place Friday and Saturday, April 13 and 14, will feature talks by Shelton Johnson, a novelist and Yosemite park ranger, who is featured in Ken Burns’s film series The National Parks; and Brian Turner, an Iraq War veteran-turned-poet.
Rounding out the schedule will be a screening of the controversial documentary Battle for Brooklyn, followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Michael Galinsky.
