Eta Sigma Phi 8th Annual Guest Lecture: Sexuality of Pompeii

A lecture will be given by Sarah Levin-Richardson, a PhD candidate of Stanford University, who was chosen by Eta Sigma Phi for its 8th annual guest lecture.

It is titled "Sex and Sexuality at Pompeii: A Re-examination of Pompeii's Brothel".

"I felt that this was a great way to get people interested in the Ancient world and their many diverse cultures and costumes." said Christina Dorso, the Eta Xi Chapter President.

Richardson will lecture on the graffiti and frescoes found within the brothel as well as the building itself to establish her interpretation of the sexual norms of Pompeiian society.

The lecture is free and will be held Tuesday, March 24 at 1:30 p.m. in the USU Beach Auditorium.
