Binge Watching - LU-MRRL Lecture Series
You are invited to attend the next LU-MRRL Lecture Series event, "The Professional Development of Binge Watching: A Business Professor's Perspective."
Dr. Troy Frank, Associate Professor of Business, will be the speaker for this event happening on Tuesday, October 25 at 6:30 pm at the Missouri River Regional Library's Art Gallery. More information about the content of this talk is below:
Binge watching has become an American "hobby" since the advent of video streaming of movies, television shows, and other video content that was only traditionally available through basic cable platforms. With the rise of companies and services like Netflix, Hulu, Tubi, Apple and traditional cable channels now offering "plus" services, we may view content commercial free, as well as movies that are currently in theatrical release. During the Covid pandemic, Dr. Troy Frank, associate professor of business, discovered the unique lifestyle benefits of binge watching when socially, economically and physically, his world became smaller and quiet. He will explore the television content to which he became addicted and how it affected his attitudes, dress, and most importantly, his classroom pedagogy and content.
More information on this event can be found on the MRRL website.
The Missouri River Regional Library is located at 214 Adams Street in downtown Jefferson City. Parking is free and available next to the library and across the street near the Chamber of Commerce building.
