Dr. Timothy Ryan is a professor in the Department of English. He grew up in the city of Bath, England, and received his bachelor's degree in American Studies at the University of Reading. He earned his master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of Nevada, Reno, where he later served as a lecturer in writing and humanities. He has also taught literature and film courses in the American Studies program at King's College in London.
“O Brother, Where Art Thou?” will show at 7:00pm on Tuesday, November 17th with doors opening at 6:30pm. Admission is free to NIU students with a valid NIU One Card, non NIU students are simply $5 for adults and $4 for seniors.
