Professor David Howes from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada will speak on campus 4 p.m. this Thursday, Sept. 3 in Marcum 184.
His lecture, entitled "The Evidence of the Sense," will explore the human experience of sensation. Howes will discuss how we experience the world through our senses, and how our environment and culture impact our senses.
Howes has conducted field research in South America and the United States, and is also the editor of several works on the subject of the senses.
He is coming to campus as part of the Altman Program, which encourages students, faculty, alumni and the public to join the discussion and get involved in the exploration of the senses.
This lecture is a small component of a campus-wide study throughout the 2015-2016 school year that will include art exhibits, panels, lectures and special events.
