Each year one Meredith faculty member is honored by the Faculty Development and Instructional Technology Committee and the Vice President for Academic Programs by being chosen to deliver the FACULTY DISTINGUISHED LECTURE. The speaker is chosen for the excellence of her scholarship or research, and it is always fascinating to hear these presentations. This year the FDL will bring together dance, society, world cultures, and you. The FDL counts as an Academic/Cultural Event. |

Shapiro will illuminate how her recent choreographic work in South Africa was a process for increasing personal reflection, written narrative, movement, and cultural analysis.
