POTSDAM -- "Mixed Race, White Mother: Love & Identity in the Age of Obama," is a presentation by Dr. Traci Fordham-Hernandez, an associate professor of performance and communication at St. Lawrence University, for the next talk in the Women's and Gender Studies Anne R. Malone Lecture Series at SUNY Potsdam at 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 22 in the eighth floor lounge at Raymond Hall, SUNY Potsdam.

Fordham-Hernandez focuses on discourses of "mixed raciality" in the U.S. and is finishing a manuscript on the Rotary International Youth Exchange program and how this organization teaches global citizenship and intercultural communication to U.S. and foreign teachers. She also explores and writes about faculty development, which is the process of thinking about and practicing better teaching and learning.

This event is free, and the public is welcome to attend. Refreshments will be served. For more information, contact Dr. Liliana Trevizan, professor of modern languages at SUNY Potsdam, trevizll@potsdam.edu, or visit www.potsdam.edu/academics/interdisciplinary/genderstudies/upcoming.cfm.
