Each Spring semester, the Kenneth R. Holder Memorial Lecture brings a scholar in language theory, writing, or education to meet with classes and to deliver a lecture open to the public.
The Holder Lecture was established in 1991 by the Department of English to honor the life of Dr. Kenneth R. Holder, Professor of English and Provost at Nebraska Wesleyan University. Dr. Holder joined the faculty in 1972, and served as Provost from 1987 to 1991. His specialties in the English Department were linguistics—which he introduced as a course to the department—history of English, writing, and English Education. As Provost, he focused on strengthening instructional practices through technology and writing among the faculty.
This year’s Holder Lecture will feature Renaissance specialist, Dr. Stephen Buhler who will speak on the topic, “Eloquence is Action: Rhetorics of Response in Shakespeare.” Dr. Buhler, the Aaron Douglas Professor in the English Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, also was a co-founder of the Flatwater Shakespeare Company and serves as its Education Director and Humanities Advisor.
For the first time in its history, the Holder Lecture will be scheduled outdoors at the Old Main amphitheatre (rain location, Prairie Wolf A&B) with Shakespearean gathering music provided by students from the Theatre Department.
