Stange specializes in historical subjects. He wrote and directed two hours of the PBS mini-series The War That Made America, about the French and Indian War. His films include Murder at Harvard, Children of the Left and Love In The Cold War, and part of the series, Making Sense of the 60s. In 2002 and 2003, Stange was a fellow at Harvard University’s Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History, where he developed a mini-series, Picturing the Past, that explores and analyzes forms of historical representation.
Stange will be on Muhlenberg’s campus from October 31 – November 3, as a part of the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow program. Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows connect a liberal education with the world beyond the campus by bringing thoughtful and successful practitioners to colleges for a week of discussions with students and faculty. Fellows are scheduled for formal presentations in classrooms, panels, and public platforms, and informal encounters at meals, in student centers, clubs, dormitories, career counseling and individual sessions. The week-long visit allows Fellows to explicate their ideas fully and often leads to continuing ties.
The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation has developed and conducted programs in higher education since 1945. More than 200 colleges have participated in the Visiting Fellows program since 1973. Dr. Gretchen Gotthard, assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience, is the Chair of the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellow Committee.
Memory and Forgetting is co-directed by Holly Cate, assistant professor of theatre, and Dr. Paul McEwan, associate professor of media and communication.
