It is my pleasure to introduce to you Kerry Wilkes who will be with us Sunday, January 31, 2016. She will bring the message in worship and conduct a workshop following worship on letter writing to our legislators. There are some important bills before the State Representatives and Senate. Kerry will bring us key information impacting the LGBTQ Community and how we can have a voice.
Dr. Kerry Wilkes joined the faculty of Wichita State in 2004. She is associate professor of Spanish and Associate Dean of Graduate School. Dr. Wilkes received her BA in International Studies from Rhodes College; MA in Spanish from Auburn University and PhD in Spanish from the University of Chicago.
Her research/teaching interests include Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century Spanish Literature (specifically, the theater of the Spanish Golden Age); Twentieth-Century Spanish Literature; Twentieth-Century Latin American Theater; Ekphrasis; and Performance Studies. She is currently working on a manuscript from the little-known late seventeenth-century writer Baltasar Funes y Villalpando and participating in a pedagogy/translation/interpretation project with scholars across the country on playwright and musician Juan del Encina.
In her spare time she is Chairperson of the South Central chapter of Equality Kansas. Equality Kansas serves to end discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Please attend worship and stay after for this important workshop.
