100th Post Continued! Conversation with Dr. Valerie Babb
Last week, we celebrated our 100th post by having a conversation with Dr. Keith Clark (George Mason University). Today, we are happy to share a conversation that Interim Director Dr. Matthew Teutsch had with Dr. Valerie Babb (University of Georgia). During their discussion, Dr. Babb spoke about her first encounter with Ernest Gaines's work. She talks about growing up in New York and coming across The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman there. As well, she provides a unique way to approach Gaines's work in the classroom. She focuses on the written text, and to expand upon Gaines's words, she has students examine the works in relation to their film adaptations. Like the talk with Dr. Clark, Dr. Babb explains why Gaines is still relevant today even though most of his works take place in the mid-twentieth century.

Hey everyone I never believed in herbal cure, & i have spend lot of money and time in trying to get drugs from the hospital/clinic to get cured of my Herpes virus which i suffered from for Two(2) years and i was tired of ( Val acyclovir ) drugs, herpes is a serious and recurring disease which can't be cured through drugs or injections by the American doctors but the best way to deal with herpes is by taking natural herbs medicine for it and is only few American doctors that know about this herbal medicine .. I have read about Dr.Igberafu the great herbalist doctor from Africa who can cure disease with his powerful herbs made with different combinations of natural roots, leaves and steams. for the people suffering from the following diseases, Herpes, Cancer, Als, Hepatitis, Diabetes, HPV, Infertility Infections ETC should contact him for his herbal medicine because I am a living testimony and I was cured of herpes. Although, I sent him what he requested and he sent me his herbal medicine which I took for 2 weeks and today when I went for a test I was tested for herpes negative. you can reach him through his email drigberafucaregiver@gmail.com or whatsapp number: +23470 57881342 / Phone +23470 57881342
