Tuesday Talkbacks with Professor Robert Kilker
We'll put one of our features under the microscope every Tuesday with Tuesday Talkbacks,
led by Kutztown University Professor Robert Kilker. Prof. Kilker, a Bethlehem resident, has a Ph.D.
from Lehigh University, where he studied Film & Popular Culture, along with Twentieth-Century American Literature.
His dissertation at Lehigh was an examination of the Hepburn-Tracy film cycle via gender role; he gave
The Shining a similar treatment in a published piece in Literature/Film Quarterly. Prof. Kilker will be
joined by colleagues from throughout the Lehigh Valley each week.
There's no extra cost to come to a Tuesday Talkback; we'll simply start talking once the credits start rolling!
