Beatrice Institute is excited to welcome Dr. William Scott (Pitt, English) for a presentation on immigrant literature and labor history in Pittsburgh (including a glimpse into immigrant liturgical music and art).

Following Dr. Scott's presentation, Dr. James DeMasi (Beatrice Institute) will provide a brief introduction to Maxo Vanka's theological vision and a reading of his murals in context.
