UNLV English Professor Christopher Hudgins will kick-off the Spring 2006 University Forum Lecture Series with a discussion about the work of 2005 Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be held Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History, located on the UNLV campus.
An internationally known Pinter scholar, Hudgins attended the Nobel Laureate awards ceremony in Stockholm this past December as a guest of Pinter and the Swedish academy.
During the lecture, Hudgins will discuss Pinter's work and reputation and show a short segment of Pinter's film "The Homecoming." He will also explore Pinter's work as an advocate for human rights.
University Forum is a free public lecture series sponsored by the UNLV College of Liberal Arts and underwritten by The Jerry Kalafatis Lodge Charitable Foundation and the UNLV Foundation.
