Professor of sociology and author Dr. George Yancey will be speaking at Geneva College on Wednesday, November 18 at 7 p.m. as part of the Geneva Visiting Artist and Lecture Series (GVALS). He will present "Christianophobia in the United States" in Skye Lounge of the Student Center.
A professor at the University of North Texas, Yancey is currently working to establish a program for Christian studies there. His desire is to found the first center to concentrate on conducting critical research that helps Christians to better serve their communities and the larger society.

He began teaching at the University of North Texas in 1999 and started his academic career studying interracial romance and multiracial churches before focusing on academic bias and anti-Christian attitudes.
"Christianophobia in the United States" is free and open to the public.
