Lo’s Gym Book Tour Update

March 27, 2018 Leave a Comment

March 12: I had the pleasure of introducing Masta Killa (of the iconic Hip-Hop group Wu-Tang Clan) before his keynote lecture at Siena College’s 5th Annual Hip-Hop Week, sponsored by the Damietta Cross-Cultural Center. Past keynote speakers have been Chuck D and Professor Griff (of Public Enemy), Sha Rock (of the Funky 4 +1), and Grandmaster Flash.

March 15: I read from “12 Rounds in Lo’s Gym: Boxing and Manhood in Appalachia” at the Conference on College Composition and Communication in Kansas City, Missouri. After the presentation, I took part in the annual meeting of the Appalachian Rhetoric Special Interest Group at 4C’s.

March 22: I read from and discussed “12 Rounds in Lo’s Gym: Boxing and Manhood in Appalachia” at the State University of New York, at Albany. I appreciate the cross-town “rivals” showing love to a Siena College professor. We appreciate all of the Great Danes that came out to the event.
