Jack Shuler will present a free public lecture, “The Thirteenth Turn:  A History of the Noose,” at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, in ARH Room 102 - Kallaus Lecture Hall.

Shuler is an associate professor & John and Christine Warner Professor of English and the author of a new book of the same name. His other works include Blood and Bone:  Truth and Reconciliation in a Southern Town. Assistant Professor of History Albert Lacson says “Shuler's interest in race, violence, and historical memory animate both books.”

Shuler’s lecture is co-sponsored by the American studies and history departments.
