On Tuesday, December 3, my good friends and colleagues Dale Pratt and Juan Carlos Martin will be visiting SUU. Dale is the graduate student coordinator at BYU, and he will be giving a presentation and meeting with students interested in graduate school at 12pm that day. Juan Carlos happens to be in town and he is coming down because at 5pm that same day we will be giving a presentation together (along with Dale). We will start with individual ten minute presentations about Rosa Montero's 2011 novel Tears in the Rain, and then we hope to have a great informal discussion with those in attendance about technology, humanity, the humanities, and the future. The novel is great, and the presentations will be entertaining, but I'm really looking forward to the discussion afterward.
