Dr. Andrew Ade, Westminster College assistant professor of English, will talk about his experience as an "American in Paris" at Faculty Forum Wednesday, Nov. 1, at 11:40 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater in the McKelvey Campus Center.

Ade, along with 14 other professors from a range of academic disciplines across the United States, were selected to participate in the 2006 National Endowment for the Humanities seminar, "Modernist Paris." The group was led by two Princeton University professors and spent five weeks investigating the multifaceted art movement occurring in Paris in the early 20th century involving painting, literature, drama, music, and memoir.

Faculty Forum, established in 1990, serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among Westminster College faculty. Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.

The event is free and open to the public. Contact Ade at (724) 946-7349 or e-mail adeaw@westminster.edu for more information.
