UW-Stevens Point expert to discuss Tomahawk’s Harley Davidson Fall Ride
1/20/2016
 

The Tomahawk Harley Davidson Fall Ride draws more than 40,000 motorcycle enthusiasts to the northern Wisconsin city every September. Learn why this event is more than just a time to compare bikes and accessories at a free lecture offered by the UW-Stevens Point College of Letters and Science.

“Creation of Community at Tomahawk’s Harley Davidson Fall Ride” will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 9, presented by Lisa Theo, instructor of geography. Held in the Pinery Room of the Portage Country Public Library, 1001 Main St., Stevens Point, this is the sixth talk in the nine-part College of Letters and Science 2015-2016 Community Lecture Series. The public may attend free of charge.

“Tomahawk in September is much like the mythical Scottish village of Brigadoon,” Theo says. “This presentation focuses on place making and the annual creation of community.”

Theo’s regional interests include urban, historical and environmental geography; race, class, gender, sexuality and ethnicity topics; Wisconsin and North America. Her research interests are community change in tourist areas, geographic education and economic change in the rural/urban fringe.
