A lecture by Dhavan Shah scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 28, at the Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center at Vanderbilt University has been cancelled due to poor weather conditions affecting Shah’s travel. It will be rescheduled.
Shah, a leading national researcher on how political ads and digital media work in tandem to influence politics, had been scheduled to present “Network Nation: How Campaign Ads and the Internet Shape Participation,” as part of a lecture series sponsored by the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities.
The lecture series “Realities and Representations: The 2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign” brings leading scholars and critics to Vanderbilt’s campus to reflect upon the historic nature of the presidential race, as well as examine the ways in which mass media are shaping the national response to the campaign.
The Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities promotes interdisciplinary research and study in the humanities, social sciences, and, when appropriate, natural sciences. For more information about the Warren Center, visit http://www.vanderbilt.edu/rpw_center/center.htm.
