色花堂app鈥檚 Committee for the Study of Violence, Conflict and War in Society will present 鈥淚n a State of Conflict: The Personal Experience and Expression of War鈥 as part of the Humanities Caf茅 on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 6 p.m. at Portneuf Valley Brewery located at 615 South 1st Ave.

The series theme this year is 鈥淓xploring Gender and Sexuality鈥 and this presentation will be given by Linda Leeuwrik, assistant professor of art history and Lauren Thompson, a doctorate candidate of history from the University of Bradford, United Kingdom.

Beginning in the First World War and culminating in the Second, Leeuwrik鈥檚 presentation will look at how German artist George Grosz鈥檚 thought and art became increasingly politicized and reflected a harsh view of modern Germany, often through a gendered lens.

Thompson鈥檚 presentation will explore the impact of the Second World War on the individual through the wartime diary of English civilian and grammar school master Kenneth Preston鈥攊n particular, the impact of the projection of idealized masculinity and citizenship is explored.

Light hors d鈥檕euvres will be provided for this free event sponsored by the Student Social Work Association.

For more information contact Linda Leeuwrik at 282-4741 or leeulind@isu.edu.
