Lucaites

A story about images of war dead in the April 22 edition of the Seattle Times quoted IUB Honors College H204 course instructor John Lucaites. An associate professor of communication and culture, he taught a course entitled "Visualizing War" during the spring semester. The goal of the course was "to explore the dilemmas and paradoxes of war rhetoric, especially for liberal-democratic polity, as they are engaged and negotiated in and through the visualization of war," Lucaites wrote in the course description.
The newspaper story dealt with the recently published images of coffins of Americans killed in Iraq. Lucaites will be teaching an H204 class entitled "Rhetoric and Democratic Public Culture in Ancient Greece" this fall on the Bloomington campus.
