Anne Gilfoil to be featured on With Good Reason

Anne Gilfoil, associate professor of Spanish, will be featured on With Good Reason, a statewide radio program, this week. Gilfoil will be part of a program titled Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness. In the 1700s, people rarely bathed. During her research of 19th-century Spanish novels, Gilfoil discovered that hygiene practices dictated many aspects of people's lives, from ventilating their homes to frequency of sexual relations. With Good Reason, produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, is broadcast on 10 public radio stations in Virginia, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C. For complete listings of shows and times visit the program's website at www.withgoodreasonradio.org. Listen to With Good Reason locally on Wednesday night (Oct. 26) at 7:30 on WVTF, 90.5 FM.
