ROOM NUMBER CHANGE: History Textbook Critic Presents Lecture
James Loewen, author of the best-selling book Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong will present two lectures at the University of Cincinnati on Thursday, April 24. The first lecture, which includes a free lunch, will be held at 1 p.m. in Room 127 McMicken. A late afternoon lecture examining teaching practices will be held at 4:30 p.m. in Room 53 McMicken.
