‘Hot Topics’ is Hot!
A lively discussion between faculty, students and staff marked the “Hot Topics” event on February 28 at the College at Florham. “Hot Topics” focused on the issues of truth, fact and fiction in the case of James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces, and television personality Oprah Winfrey.
The Maxwell Becton College of Arts and Sciences, Silberman College of Business and Student Government Association sponsored the discussion, which was moderated by Peter Woolley, political science and director, PublicMind; with faculty panelists Harry Keyishian, English and director, FDU Press; Roger Koppl, economics/finance; Ethné Swartz, entrepreneurial studies; and Irene Thomson, sociology. The panelists and the audience were split in their support of Frey publishing his book as nonfiction.
The next “Hot Topics” is scheduled for Tuesday, March 28, at 7 p.m., in Hartman Lounge, the Mansion, College at Florham, and will focus on “Religious (In)Tolerance and the Media: How Far Can We Go?”
Watch for further announcements of other “Hot Topics” discussions.
