Inaugural WBH Memorial Lecture & Seminar: Ehren Pflugfelder

Dr. Ehren Pflugfelder came to TCU on February 2, 2017, to deliver the inaugural Winifred Bryan Horner Memorial Lecture. He left behind cloudy skies at Oregon State University to find similar clouds in Fort Worth. His lecture on the rhetorics of mobility and transportation challenged traditional definitions of rhetoric and revealed the persuasion at work within our current individualized car-based transportation system. After Dr. Pflugfelder's lecture, he talked with current graduate students about future directions of technology, mobility, and pedagogy. WBH would like to thank Dr. Pflugfelder for sharing his research with the TCU community! Additional thanks to RSA for their support in funding Dr. Pflugfelder's visit!
