Friday, March 5, 2-3:30 p.m.

Haejoo Kim (Syracuse University)
Sarah Berry (SUNY Oswego)
Rebecca Garden (Upstate Medical)
Lois Agnew (Syracuse University)

Scholars working in the growing interdisciplinary field of medical humanities investigate the human experience of health and illness through an interdisciplinary lens at the intersection of social sciences, the humanities, the arts, biomedical sciences and caregiving disciplines.

**You need to register for this event** It is required for every MA and PhD student in coursework and strongly suggested for all others.

Academic Publishing Workshop w/ Dr. Goode

As stated in emails:

Mainly, we’ll be covering the process – start to finish – of how (and why) to publish a journal article as a graduate student.  We will also touch on other forms of publication: book chapters, book reviews, encyclopedia entries, and even monographs (single-author books).

This is one of the four, annually offered pre-professional workshops that all Ph.D. students are required to attend at some point during their years at SU. M.A.’s are also welcome and encouraged to attend!

November Colloquium

After a little pause to test our capacity for zoom (we still don’t like it, but we are going ahead anyway), Dorri Beam like to announce that the Virtual Book Launch with Mike Goode next Friday, Nov 13 at noon, will be our first English Department Colloquium event this year. Please see the information below that Coran circulated earlier.

The department  is working on another offering for Friday December 4, and we have a number of things in the works for spring, including an interdisciplinary medical humanities panel with our own PhD candidate Haejoo Kim and 2 guest speakers on Fri Feb 5 at 2 pm and a scholar’s roundtable on the Colored Conventions Movement with Distinguished Visiting Professor Gabrielle Foreman (English and African American Studies, Penn State), Fri April 16 at 2 pm.  More soon.

Colloquium is required of all PhDs currently in coursework. All graduate students in English, regardless of year or degree program, are strongly encouraged to attend.
