Join us for the Fall 2017 TCU Faculty Favorite Lecture Series highlighting three different faculty members across campus. Hear what they’re passionate about! Only $10.00 per lecture (free to TCU faculty, staff and students). Pre-registration required – www.lifelong.tcu.edu or 817-257-7132.

THE MEDIEVAL WORLD OF GAME OF THRONESGeorge R. R. Martin, author of the popular The Song of Ice and Fire series, once explained in

an interview with Time magazine that he wanted

to combine the “realism of historical fiction” with

“the magic and the wonder” of fantasy in his books.

Many critics of his series have since argued that

the success of Martin’s fictional world of Westeros

is its realism, a realism that is deeply rooted in the

historical Middle Ages and medieval literature. In

this lecture, we will explore some of the historical

and literary sources from the medieval period that

provide the inspiration and foundation for Martin’s

books, and how the books and the TV show are a

sort of “gateway” into the real medieval past and

medieval literature.

IN SEARCH OF STEPHEN F. AUSTINThis lecture will examine the life and times of

Stephen F. Austin and explore how history and

historians have understood him over a century’s

time. Austin, the “Father of Texas,” has long been

enshrined in the public imagination as an authentic

American hero, but one who was colorless and

rather remote. Dr. Cantrell brings Austin’s private

life, motives, personality, and character into sharp

focus, revealing a driven man who successfully

mixed effort and cunning, idealism and pragmatism

to build an illustrious career.

SOCIAL IDENTITY TRANSITIONING This lecture introduces a theoretical concept known

as social identity transitioning (SIT). SIT is the process

of transitioning from a privileged to a marginalized

social identity in the context of close relationships. The

presenter will share examples of this process occurring

within the context of parent-LGBTQ adult child

relationships. Attendees will be introduced to current

theory, research, and practical applications of how the

SIT theoretical concept can inform inter-professional

practice and enhance interpersonal relationships

between family members and close relational partners.

BELLE EPOQUE, ART NOUVEAU IN THE GILDED AGE OF FRANCE The period between the Franco-Prussian War and World War I is remembered in France as a golden age of peace, prosperity and optimism. Cafè society blossomed and we will look at the emerging poster designs, and the modernism of Post-Impressionism, the Nabis, Fauvism and early Cubism. However, we will focus on Art Nouveau as influenced by Japanese art, the curvilinear forms of nature and a continuing rejection of clas-sic Academic art. Art Nouveau crossed many thresholds, and, in addition to graphic and fine art, we will see how these ideas crossed into architecture, furniture and fashion.
