Come see John Steinbeck scholar, Dr. Mimi Reisel Gladstein’s presentation, “John Steinbeck and WWII: Fighting to Serve His Country.” Dr. Gladstein is Professor of English and Theater Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso, where she has chaired both departments. The event is a part of the new Steinbeck Lecture Series founded by Dr. and Mrs. Tetsumaro Hayashi in honor of Dr. Richard W. and Mrs. Dorothy Burkhardt and Dr. John J and Mrs. Angeline R. Pruis, whose generosity has helped Ball State University to honor internationally prominent Steinbeck Scholars and educators for nearly 30 years.
