Drs. Sally Donlon and Claire Manes discuss finishing their PhDs in English at UL Lafayette, taking flight at a time when many similarly aged persons are looking for a landing today on Bayou to Beltway at 12:30.
Drs Donlon and Manes discuss the experience of being older students and the focus of their respective research projects which include exploring letters which revealed the legacy of Dr. Manes's father's experience as a leper in the Carville Colony, and Dr. Donlon's meshing of her interests in cognition and linguistics with creative non-fiction.
