OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 Kathleen Wickham, associate professor in the University of Mississippi’s Meek School of Journalism and New Media, and Larry Wells, director of Yoknapatawpha Press, lectured Tuesday (March 15) at Rennes University in Rennes, France, and Thursday at the Sorbonne in Paris.<\/p>\n

Wickham’s lecture focused on Paul Guihard, the French reporter killed on the Ole Miss campus during the 1962 integration riot. His unsolved murder has forged an enduring link between his native Brittany and Mississippi.<\/p>\n

Wells presented slides from Ed Meek’s photo history, “Riot: Witness to Anger and Change,” co-published last fall by Yoknapatawpha Press and the Meek School of Journalism and New Media.<\/p>\n

Alain Guihard, the brother of Paul Guihard, spoke to Rennes University students and faculty. Hosting the Rennes event was Professor Nicole Moulinoux, founder of\u00a0the William Faulkner Foundation, and Professor Gildas Levoguer of the school’s English department.<\/p>\n

At the Sorbonne, Wickham and Wells addressed African-American studies students under professors H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Le Dantec-Lowry and James Cohen.<\/p>\n

At Rennes University, the distinction of Honorary Citizen of the William Faulkner Foundation was presented to Wells with Sara Harriger, the U.S. consul for western France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
