Welcome to the English Department Website
| Dr. Martha Elena Rojas has been invited to deliver a public lecture entitled "American Imprints: Franklin's Emblems for the New United States" on Monday, May 12, 6:30pm at the Providence Public Library, 150 Empire Street, Barnard Room. This lecture is part of the traveling exhibition entitled Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World, which is a collaboration between the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Library Association, and the Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary. This exhibition is based on a major exhibition of the same name displayed at the National Constitution Center, Philadelphia, from December 2005 - April 2006, which is now touring the United States and Europe, and hosted at only two spots in New England, including here in Providence. URI English is proud of Dr. Rojas for having been honored with an invitation to participate in such a prestigious public intellectual program. Please join us for this exciting event. |
