    On Thursday, November 8 at 6 p.m., Michael Ray Charles and Dr. Travis L. Dixon will engage in a conversation about Charles' works in Marquette University's Straz Hall, Room 105, followed by a reception in the museum. Dixon, associate professor of communication studies, UCLA, will interview Thenceforward, and Forever Free artist Charles, and entertain questions from the audience. Dr. Dixon is a media effects scholar dedicated to investigating the prevalence of stereotypes in the mass media and the impact of stereotypical imagery on audience members. Charles’ graphically styled paintings investigate racial stereotypes drawn from a history of American advertising, product packaging, billboards, radio jingles, and television commercials. Charles lives in Texas and teaches at the University of Texas at Austin. This event is free and open to the public.
