For over 200 years Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has haunted our culture.  This Wednesday March 21st at 3:30 in the Forum, members of the English/Philosophy Department will explore the significance of this "haunting" by participating in a panel discussion.

Please join us for the following presentations and what promises to be a lively and insightful discussion.
