Midwest Tour

By cmooney on April 3, 2006.

Sometimes I hear a slight bit of trash talk about how my "war on science" message goes down smoothest on the two left coasts. There's some truth to the claim, but I certainly haven't been avoiding other parts of the USA--and my events this week prove it. I'm doing the heartland, the swing states--Ohio and Michigan. (Granted, I'm still speaking on college campuses, which are little left coasts of their own.) Anyway, here's the rundown:

Wednesday, April 5

7:00 PM-8:30 PM

Edward Lamb Peace Lecture followed by Book Signing

Bowling Green State University

Bowen Thompson Student Union Theater, Room 206

Bowling Green, OH 43403

Thursday, April 6

7:00 PM-8:30 PM

Lecture sponsored by the Science, Technology, Environment and Public Policy Specialization [STEPPS] Speaking Series and the Michigan State University Honors College

Wilson Hall c102

East Lansing, MI

Friday, April 7

9:00 PM-10:30 PM

Public Lecture and Book Signing

Kalamazoo College

Stetson Chapel

1200 Academy Street

Kalamazoo, MI 49006

See you in the cornfields....

It's been a while since I had a good string of talks lined up--it's harder, I think, to do a lot of them from the West Coast. But now I'm back east and about to embark for the first two of these four upcoming appearances; so mark them down if you're in the area. And of course, when Unscientific…

Okay, I wasn't supposed to be blogging...and now, I'm not any more. At all. Period. Let me just repost my events list for those wishing to catch me on the road in the next month or so; note that a new event, in Miami/Coral Gables, has been added, for election day no less (wonder what that will do…

I've just added some new stops on the Chris Mooney "book tour" page. Not that I'm really on "book tour" at the moment, but, er, I certainly am pretty addicted to travel. And so in the next few months I'll be hitting some new spots where I've never given talks before: Saturday, April 7, 7:00 PM-8:…

Your publicist should maybe look into a couple of small schools in the Chicago area... Northwestern and U of Chicago. There are a couple of other small schools in the Midwest, like, U of M in Ann Arbor, U of Illinois and U of WI in Madison...

Any Chicago appearances planned for the forseeable future?

J-Dog, the kids at U of M aren't cool enough for a talk like this, Go Green! Go White!

But Chris, you're not quite in cornfield territory, Michigan is more proud of GM than anything else. You need to head down to Illinois and Indiana to really catch the flatness. As an east coaster who spent some time in Illinois, I've found these Michiganders are a little wary of how midwest you try to make them out to be...just learn how to map with your hand and you'll be fine.

So far no Chicago stuff planned--but in the fall I may be touring for the paperback release, and that would be an opportune time to revisit....Megan, sorry about the stereotyping, tongue in cheek though it obviously was....

No worries, just watch out when i get my 'pa and we run you over with the tractor for those dang east coast ways...damn hippies.
