Meaning in obituaries
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. -- Phyllis Kitzerow, professor of sociology, and Shannon Smithey, assistant professor of sociology, will present "What They Say About Us Says About Them" at the Westminster College Faculty Forum at 11:45 a.m. March 16 in Sebastian Mueller Theater in McKelvey Campus Center. "The writers of obituaries declare their values by what they say about those they choose to commemorate," Kitzerow said. "Obituaries from the 1950s to the 1990s in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette tell us what was valued in each of those decade years. We find clues in the categories mentioned, the order in which they're given, and the extent or length of what is included. Markers of status and the inclusion or noninclusion of women and the working class can be seen as indicators of what is valued at each point." The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Kitzerow at (724) 946-7252 or e-mail kitzerpg@westminster.edu.
