SUMMARY:Inquiring Minds: "Don't Be So Past Tense"
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome at Scout Lynch’s Inquiring Minds presentation\, “Don’t Be So Past Tense\,” which will address some myths about the English Language. Her linguistics professor\, Dr. Tina Hanlon\, will participate in the discussion. As an English major\, Scout finds it important to not punish people for using problematically labeled “substandard” forms of English. The English language functions through mutual understanding\, so there is no need to shame anyone for using slang or features of their own dialects. Scout will discuss prejudices about language that are so imprinted on us\, such as the need to use “proper” English. Scout is passionate about encouraging accessible language for speakers of English. Senior English Major Scout Lynch has been editor-in-chief of “Chrysalis Literary and Arts Magazine” for over two years. \nCome to Inquiring Minds on Oct. 22\, in the LEaP Studio on the main floor of Stanley Library\, to learn some of the real story of the English language and how it works\, discuss some of your favorite expressions\, and get some tips about using standard English in your work while having fun with informal varieties of language when you aren’t at work. No admission charge. Read more about it at https://www.ferrum.edu/news/ferrum-college-senior-scout-lynch-to-present-inquiring-minds-talk-on-language-varieties-dont-be-so-past-tense.

SUMMARY:Inquiring Minds: “Worlds Gone Wrong—What Is Dystopian Literature and Why Should You Know About It?”
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, October 29\, Ferrum College’s Inquiring Minds series will feature “Worlds Gone Wrong: What Is Dystopian Literature and Why Should You Know About It?” Professor of English Lana A. Whited will lead a discussion of the increasing popularity of literature about terrible fictional places and her new English course on The Dystopian Tradition. The program is free and open to the public. \nInquiring Minds offers lively\, informal presentations and activities on various interesting topics for the entire community. Stanley Library at Ferrum College presents the series on most Wednesdays during the academic year\, in the LEaP Studio on the library’s main floor during the campus’s community hour from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. \nWhited’s presentation will ask the audience to consider what they would do if the world seemed to be falling apart. “For over 100 years\, writers and filmmakers have imagined catastrophes of various types (political\, medical\, etc.) and how to survive them\,” wrote Whited. Imaginative works created by these artists are labelled dystopian\, and “dystopia” literally means “bad place” because a dystopian world is no place you’d want to live.  \nRead more about it at https://www.ferrum.edu/news/ferrum-college-inquiring-minds-series-presents-worlds-gone-wrong-what-is-dystopian-literature-on-october-29.
