Due to the presentation of the San Francisco Opera Ring on Saturdays, our webinar has been moved to Sunday March 14th. It is appropriate as Wotan will have put Brünnhilde to sleep on Saturday:
Sleep in the Ring: a study of how and why Wagner uses the image of sleep
Join us for a webinar which will be anything but sleep inducing as the WSNC welcomes back Professor Jeffrey Buller. Jeffrey L. Buller has held academic or administrative positions at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia, Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia, and Florida Atlantic University in Palm Beach County, Florida. Known as a classicist, scholar of Wagnerian music drama, and expert in academic administration, Buller has lectured and performed consultancies all over the world. From 2003-2005, he served as the English language lecturer at the International Wagner Festival in Bayreuth, Germany.
Retired from academics, Jeffrey L. Buller is currently a senior partner in ATLAS Leadership Training, an international partnership that trains administrators and leaders in every aspect of their complex assignments.
