Faculty Colloquium Series
Each semester the English Department sponsors a colloquium series in which
faculty members or invited guests deliver a paper or speak informally about
a work in progress. Talks are followed by a lively period of discussion
and questions (often from students), then by an informal reception with refreshments.
Topics have traditionally covered the range of English and American literature
(with ventures into other Anglophone writing) and reflect the diverse interests
and methodological approaches of the faculty.
The spring 2008 series will be held March 25th at 4 pm in Hurst Lounge,
and will feature Assistant Professors Anca Parvulescu, "How Painters Laugh,"
and Jessica Rosenfeld, "The Pleasures of Pure Envy." A reception will follow.
