Grathwohl to Present Faculty Distinguished Lecture Jan. 25
Meredith College Professor of English Eloise Grathwohl will present “The Glacier Stands Open,” the 2011 Faculty Distinguished Lecture on Tuesday, Jan. 25. The lecture will be held at 7 p.m. in Jones Auditorium.
Since 2008, Grathwohl has served as a faculty member for Meredith’s Study Abroad program in Iceland. The topic of her lecture on grew out of her interest in the work of Nobel-prize winning novelist Halldór Laxness, Iceland’s best-known writer in the twentieth century.
Grathwohl has taught in the Department of English at Meredith College since 1990. She holds a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a specialization in medieval English literature. She is currently Director of Writing and holder of the Mary Lynch Johnson Chair in the Department of English.
