8:30 PM - 8:35 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Bernadette Sweeney / James Joyce
Bernadette Sweeney, the director of The Gathering: Collected Oral Histories of the Irish in Montana, reflects on how her involvement in this large-scale oral history project has awakened her memories of her father. She pairs her piece with James Joyce’s short story “The Dead.”

Reflections West is a weekly 5-minute program that presents the reflections of writers and scholars on the American West. These thinkers pair their own thoughts with a passage from literature and history.
Reflections West’s aim is simple: to circulate—as widely as possible—wonderful passages of literature and history of the West in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way.
The program is produced and hosted by University of Montana professors, Lisa Simon and David Moore.
