The public is
invited to a book talk by Sunny Stalter-Pace, author of Underground Movements: Modern Culture on the New York City Subway on
Wednesday, March 19 at 4:00 p.m. at Pebble
Hill.
For more than a century the New York City
subway system has been a vital part of the city’s identity, even as judgments
of its value have varied. It has been celebrated as the technological
embodiment of the American melting pot and reviled as a blighted urban
netherworld. Underground Movements
explores the many meanings of the subway by looking back at the era when it
first ascended to cultural prominence, from its opening in 1904 through the
mid-1960s.
Stalter-Pace is an Assistant Professor in the
Department of English at Auburn University. She received her PhD from Rutgers
University and her BA from Loyola University Chicago.
The event is
free, open to the public, and will be followed by refreshments.
Pebble Hill is located at 101 S. Debardeleben
Street and is home to the Caroline Marshall Center for the Arts &
Humanities in the College of Liberal Arts.
