CHADRON – The next speaker in the Graves Lecture Series is English faculty member Dr. Steve Coughlin who will perform a reading of poems from his book, "Another City," Oct. 13.

The poems by Coughlin illustrate the harsh struggles of a working class family which will leave the audience considering what healing, if any, the imagined world can offer. The title of his presentation is “Another City: A Creative Writing Reading.”

Oct. 27, Dr. Shaunda French will discuss work spouse relationships and how they positively and negatively influence other relationships, both at work and at home. The title of her presentation is “My Confidant, My Coworker: The Interpersonal Relationship of Work Spouses.”

Peggy Hinman will wrap up the series Nov. 10 with a presentation based on the book "8 to Great." She will discuss techniques to improve perspectives on all phases of life. The title of her talk is “Life: It Depends on How You Look at It.”
