CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. — Warren Rosenberg, professor of English at Wabash College, presented the 23rd Annual LaFollette Lecture on October 11 at Wabash College.

The LaFollette Lecture Series was established by the Wabash College Board of Trustees to honor Charles D. LaFollette, their longtime colleague on the Board. The lecture is given each year by a Wabash College faculty member who is charged to address the relation of his or her special discipline to the humanities broadly conceived.

"'Something Prompted Me to Touch Him': The Heart as the Matter in Literary Studies" was the title of Rosenberg’s presentation, which was held in Salter Hall of the Fine Arts Center.

New Yorker Warren Rosenberg came to teach at Wabash in 1980, having had experience at Queens College, Brooklyn College, Manhattan Community College, and Bushwick High School in New York City.

He was graduated from Brooklyn College and earned his master’s degree in English from the University of Michigan in 1973 and his Ph.D. from the City University of New York in 1981.

He is the author of Legacy of Rage: Jewish Masculinity, Violence, and Culture and co-author of American Voices: A Thematic/Rhetorical Reader. Rosenberg has published articles in "Modern Language Studies," "New England Quarterly," and "College English."
