Join us for a special evening with author and Bass School alumnus, Dr. Tim Cloward as he discusses his new book, The City That Killed the President (2023) . The Book Talk will take place on Thursday, March 13th from 5-7pm*, and will include a Q&A session moderated by Scott Tucker, an artist, writer, curator, musician, and graduate student in the Humanities MA program at UTD. *Light reception will be provided after the talk.

The City That Killed the President is a collection of artistic works—poetry, theater, journalism, and art—that examine the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and its lasting impact on the city of Dallas. Through these diverse mediums, Dr. Cloward explores the cultural, social, and emotional reverberations of that tragic day in 1963.

Cloward, who earned his PhD in Humanities-Aesthetic Studies in Fall 2002, will share insights into the creation of this interdisciplinary work, its significance, and how it contributes to the ongoing conversation about the JFK assassination.

Don’t miss this chance to engage with Dr. Cloward and Mr. Tucker as they explore the artistic and cultural impact of one of the most defining events in American history.
