GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP – A panel of authors, poets and publishers will share their diverse experiences at the “Publishing in the 21st Century” visiting writers lecture 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27 at the Stockton University Campus Center Board of Trustees Room.

Panelists are:

  • Maribel Garcia, who holds Ph.D. and masters degrees in anthropology from University of Texas Austin. The inspiration for her novel, “Profound and Perfect Things” comes from her own experiences as both a native of the South Texas Latino community and from her anthropological fieldwork studying Mexican American women living on the US/Mexico border.
