An anthology of 11 short films on the 9-11 attacks – '11'09'01 – opens a themed film series
called “12 Windows: Encountering Culture Through Film” on Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. in the F.W. Center Olin Auditorium.
A panel of commentators chaired by Teresa
Meade, professor of history and women's studies, will follow
the film.
The series is sponsored by the Hobart
and William
Smith Colleges
and Union College Partnership for Global Education, which runs the series on
both campuses. The PGE asks faculty and staff on both campuses to select and
introduce films that explore cultures other than our own, and examine these
communities location within a diverse human geography.
