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.
