[[{'fid':'578146','view_mode':'default','type':'media','attributes':{'height':'300','width':'498','class':'media-element file-default'}}]].. Free Public Lecture: Mary Margaret Steedly, Professor of Anthropology, Harvard University The Citadel Military College of Charleston, South Carolina, is one of the few remaining public military colleges in the U.S. The school cultivates a disciplined lifestyle of rigorous physical challenge, ceremonial display, and cultural conservatism. It celebrates the virtues of uniformity and unity, patriotism, sacrifice, and honor as the foundation of ethical leadership. Drawing on her ethnographic research at The Citadel, Mary Steedly will discuss the culture of this bounded community in a time of transition, when confrontations of race, region, and gender are challenging its ethos of unity and uniformity.Free parking is available at the 52 Oxford Street Garage [1] [1] https://www.google.com/maps/place/52+Oxford+St,+Harvard+University,+Cam…
