Dr. Christopher Housenick, assistant professor of political science at Arkansas Tech University, will offer a presentation entitled “Politics of the Marvel Movies” at ATU’s Ross Pendergraft Library and Technology Center on Thursday, Feb. 16.
The lecture will begin at 12:30 p.m. in Pendergraft Library room 300B, 305 West Q Street in Russellville. Admission will be free and open to the public.
Housenick will lead a discussion about such films as “Black Panther,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Captain Marvel,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Iron Man” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” He will examine how the characters and storylines in those films intersect with the American political landscape.
