Description:
A UAlbany Hudson 400 Talk by William Husson, Lecturer, Dept. of Communication, UAlbany. The Hudson River is well known as both a commercial waterway and an environmental treasure. Perhaps less well recognized but no less important is the river as a symbol of American values, dreams and aspirations. Husson will focus on the way in which documentary and fiction films have explored these three features of the Hudson - the commercial, the environmental, and the symbolic. The Talks and Concert series is co-sponsored by several UAlbany units, along with community partners, and is supported by the New York Council for the Humanities.
