UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State University Press has announced the Spring 2022 lineup for PSU Press Presents, a monthly series of free virtual events that feature authors of new and recent books in conversation with one another. Topics reflect the wide range of subjects published by the Press, including Latin American history, world religions, modernist art and graphic medicine.
The first event for Spring 2022 is “Latin American Originals,” which will take place at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 16. The March event, “Art & Radicalism,” will bring together the authors of three new books in the Press’ "Refiguring Modernism"series, and April will spotlight a discussion among authors of new books that explore rhetoric and communication in the current era of disinformation. Other events in the lineup include a panel on religious communities and movements throughout history as well as one featuring new books in the Press’s "Graphic Medicine" series.
PSU Presents was launched in 2020 as a way for authors, editors and readers to connect after the cancellation of in-person author events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has become a popular program at the Press. Attendance is free, but advance registration is required.
Events will take place on Zoom and recordings are subsequently made available for viewing. Visit the webpage to learn more about upcoming PSU Press Presents events and to register.
