Dear folks: It is my great honor and pleasure to announce that Geography doctoral candidate Emma Walcott-Wilson will present and defend her dissertation on Tuesday, Dec. 3, beginning at 12:30pm in Burchfiel, room 104 (normally used as the Geography Community Engagement room). The title of Emma's dissertation is " Tour guides as place-makers: Emotional labor, plantation aesthetics, and interpretations of slavery in South Carolina." Her graduate committee consist of Drs. Stefanie Benjamin, Solange Munoz, and Micheline van Riemsdijk and I serve as committee chair/advisor. As is the custom, the defense will begin a brief presentation by the candidate followed by a few questions from the general audience and a longer, closed door discussion with the doctoral committee. The wider department community and members of the university and Knoxville community are invited to the public presentation and Q & A. Best wishes, DA Derek H.
