Sarah Maza, a historian from the University of Chicago, will be visiting campus this week. She is the author of the book The Myth of the French Bourgeoisie as well as a few other books. She will be giving a lecture to students this Thursday, February 2 at 11 AM in B192 JFSB. The title of her lecture is "Anatomy of a Scandal: A Murder in 1930s Paris" (how cool of a title is that?!). So if you'd like to learn how to create a scandal, I think this is your lecture to attend.From reading her bio from Northwestern University, all I can say is that she is an impressive person and writer. Her book The Myth of the French Bourgeoisie won a George Mosse Prize of the American Historical Association back in 2003. She was the president of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and currently serves on the council of the American Historical Association.
