Music PhD candidate Lisa Mumme presented her thesis as a part of the Film and Media Studies (FMS) Department’s Colloquium Lecture Series, arguing that the power of the witch in film is conveyed through the witch’s voice, which is articulated through songs, chants, and spells on Oct. 16. 

This semester’s Assembly Series will highlight topics ranging from queer theory to urban equality to campaign strategy. The Assembly Series, which runs from from February 4 through April 15, has been bringing leaders and experts from various fields to Washington University since 1953.
