HASS Hour Features Faculty Members in 10-Minute Informational Sessions

The HASS Hour, a monthly series offered by the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at Utah State University, puts a faculty member in the spotlight to share insights, research or creative activity. Faculty members are featured in a 10-minute “TimePiece.” A portion of socializing and fun is served along the way as well, said Gary Kiger, HASS dean.

January’s featured speaker is Christy Glass, an assistant professor of sociology in the Department of Sociology, Social Work and Anthropology. She will present “The Economics of Marriage: What Can Social Science Contribute to the Same-Sex Marriage Debate?”

 

Glass is featured Thursday, Jan. 18, at the Italian Place, 48 Federal Avenue, Logan.

 

HASS Hour begins with a social hour at 5:15 p.m., and the TimePiece begins at 6 p.m. Food, including hors d’oeuvres, is served during the social hour. Admission is $10 for individuals and $18 for couples.

 

“Please join us monthly for these enjoyable sessions,” Kiger said. “I’m often surprised at the breadth and depth of information that our faculty provides. I always learn something and I always have fun.”

 

Faculty, staff and members of the public are invited to attend HASS Hour. For information, call the college office at (435) 797-1195.
