PORT HADLOCK — David Schulz will lead a presentation on collective memory exhibited by socioeconomic groups at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The lecture, The Contours of Public Memory, is part of the Inquiring Mind series at Jefferson County Library, 620 Cedar Ave.
The free lecture is co-sponsored by Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau. Seating is limited, so visitors are urged to arrive early.
Schulz’ presentation, which weaves in interactive questions and activities, is designed to spark a dialogue about public memory and the collective role all play in memory construction, maintenance and even destruction, organizers said.
Schulz will offer some examples of where to look to find public memory and will frame examples of its forms and functions.
Schulz has taught at colleges and universities throughout the country and presented research globally on issues of rhetoric, public memory, social movements and technology.
He is a professor and chairman of communication at Trinity Lutheran College in Everett, where he teaches courses on rhetorical theory, persuasive messages and research methods.
He also has led study abroad trips to Greece and Italy since 2006.
Schulz holds a bachelor degree in communications from Western Washington University, a master’s in communications from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and a doctorate from Pennsylvania State University.
