The Life-Long Learning Lecture Series at Fort Lewis College will present “Promoting the National Parks in the Depression Era” at 7 p.m. Sept. 28, in Room 130 of Noble Hall.
Cory Pillen, assistant professor of art history at FLC, will examine the design and aesthetics of Work Projects Administration posters, which promoted a balance between use and preservation of national parks during the 1930s. The lecture will ask the question: “How do we reconcile the recreational needs of constituents with the interests of preservationists?”
