Interviewer: Roger Smith | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm | Thursday, April 6
Join us for the Learning Center’s Author Series as we invite Alena Pirok to speak on her new book, The Spirit of Williamsburg: Ghosts and Interpreting the Recreated Past.
Spectrum tourism is not just Savannah’s purview: Williamsburg also explores its ghostly past, a pursuit some call frivolous and low-brow. Yet GSU professor Alena Pirok takes a scholarly look at the phenomenon of ghostly interpretation and the emotional connection it affords its visitors.
Copies of The Spirit of Williamsburg: Ghosts and Interpreting the Recreated Past will be available for sale at the lecture, or you can order in advance at Barnes and Noble.
