Come to the Florida Studies Book Festival for lectures from published faculty and award-winning Florida historians. It's a literary event that celebrates the integrated, in-depth exploration of Florida's changing identity.
Florida can be a complex and complicated state, and many residents and visitors alike want to know more about the state's history, environment, politics and culture. If the humanities wrestle with the human experience in myriad ways, Florida Studies is about the human experience in the Sunshine State.
The Florida Studies Book Festival will provide an opportunity for the public to encounter writers and books that address the Florida experience, and to highlight the USF Florida Studies program.
Speakers include Senator Bill Nelson, Gilbert King, Gary Mormino, Dalia Colón, Hilary Flower, Dr. J. Michael Francis, Rick Kilby, Kerry Kriseman, Chris Meindl, Jody Noll, Leslie Kemp Poole and Cathy Salustri.
Doors open at 9 a.m.
Organized by USF Florida Studies program
