Professor of Spanish Dr. Carlos Mentley will give a talk titled “A Long Walk to Church: The Camino de Santiago Today.” The lecture begins at 6 p.m.\, with refreshments starting at 5:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. \nThe pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela was one of the great cultural undertakings of the Middle Ages\, and perhaps the most extraordinary adventure a person could have. It still is. The Camino de Santiago represents more than a millennium of history and tradition. The network of routes that lead to Compostela in the northwest of Spain contributed significantly to the development of western European civilization. Today\, hundreds of thousands of modern pilgrims still tread these ancient paths on their way to Compostela\, engaging in an idealized re-creation of the medieval pilgrimage. In this lecture\, Mentley explores what it means to be a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago in the 21st century. And who knows? You may hear the Camino de Santiago calling to you as well. \nMentley is a professor of Spanish in the Department of English and Foreign Languages at Lander University\, where he also serves as the director of study abroad. He earned B.A. degrees in Spanish and in psychology from Michigan State University\, and a Ph.D. in Spanish literature from Cornell University. A passionate believer in the art of pilgrimage\, Mentley walked his first Camino de Santiago in the winter of 2003. Since then\, he has walked Camino routes in Portugal\, Germany\, France and Spain. He has served as a volunteer hospitalero in Grañón\, and is a former chairman of the Board of Directors of American Pilgrims on the Camino. \nPlease visit www.lander.edu/events for updates and to confirm event times and venues.

Associate Professor of Psychology Dr. Shana Southard-Dobbs will give a talk titled “Forget What You Know: Mythbusting Memory.” The lecture begins at 6 p.m.\, with refreshments starting at 5:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. \nMemory is an essential function of the human mind. Much of what we think and do throughout a day relies on our ability to successfully remember information and skills\, and our most treasured personal memories can help us to know and understand ourselves\, our families and our communities. Yet\, the familiarity of our own memories can obscure our understanding of memory’s true complexity. Many of the go-to strategies students rely on to learn and remember information are ineffective. Memories of personal experiences can change in surprising ways over time\, and a person’s confidence in their memory is sometimes a shockingly bad indicator of its accuracy. In this interactive talk\, Southard-Dobbs will illustrate important\, and sometimes surprising findings from the scientific research on memory that can impact the lives of every learner\, educator and community member. \nAt Lander\, Southard-Dobbs teaches courses on memory and cognitive psychology for the Department of Psychological Sciences and Human Services. She also mentors student researchers in her Stress and Cognition Lab. She earned a B.A. in Psychology from Hendrix College\, an M.S. in Community Counseling from the University of Central Arkansas and a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from the University of North Texas. Southard-Dobbs was the 2019 recipient of the Junior Faculty Teaching Award and is a Faculty Fellow in the Center for Faculty Excellence at Lander University. \nPlease visit www.lander.edu/events for updates and to confirm event times and venues.

Assistant Professor of English Laura Martin will give a talk titled “Does Literature Make Us Better People?” The lecture begins at 6 p.m.\, with refreshments starting at 5:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. \nIt’s a commonly held belief that reading and writing are good for us\, not just academically\, but personally. This belief is so strongly held that prestigious universities like Georgetown and Rice incorporate literature into the studies of doctors-in-training for the explicitly stated purpose of teaching them empathy. But is the relationship between literature and compassion a direct correlation\, or is it more complicated? In this lecture\, Martin will explore the surprising relationship between literature and compassion and discuss how reading and writing can both help and hinder our understanding of others. \nLaura M. Martin is originally from Woodstock\, Illinois and currently resides in Greenville. She has a BA in Humanities with emphases in English and creative writing from New York University\, and an MFA in Creative Writing with a creative nonficition emphasis from Georgia College. This is her seventh year at Lander University where she teaches a variety of writing courses. Her essays appear in HuffPost\, Chicken Soup for the Soul\, New South\, Blue Earth Review\, SHIFT\, The Smart Set and Luna Luna\, among other publications. Her essay\, “Dead Horse Bay\,” was a semifinalist for the 2019 Brooklyn Nonfiction Prize; the same year she was shortlisted for the Submerging Writers Fellowship. \nPlease visit www.lander.edu/events for updates and to confirm event times and venues.

This lively lecture on “The Art of Play” will be held Tuesday\, Sept. 12\, at 6 p.m. at the Arts Center of Greenwood\, and the event is free and open to the public. \nFred Rogers once said\, “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children\, play is serious learning.” Engaging with a healthy sense of play allows the brain to let go of exterior expectations and run free. This lecture will explore the ways in which elements of “play” and “fun” aid in creative thought\, strategic planning and concept development. Professor Doug McAbee will discuss how he embraces playfulness and harnesses its creative power in the production of drawings\, sculptures and immersive installations. \nDoug McAbee is a professor of art at Lander University and an active artist. He earned a B.A. in Art and an M.F.A. at Winthrop University. Professor McAbee learned to weld when he was only seven years old and his creative research focuses on indoor and outdoor steel sculptures and contemporary drawing. He exhibits his artwork frequently throughout the country. He was also raised by wolves. \nPlease visit www.lander.edu/events for updates and to confirm event times and venues.
