The YAWP: Villanova's Graduate English Program Blog

Samantha Sorensen presented her paper, "'I came to love myself in defiance': Embodied Political Resistance in Kincaid's  Autobiography of My Mother " at the Literature and Social Justice conference at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA in March 2015.

A quick word from Dr. Heather Hicks: If you are interested in gender studies, you should plan to attend the ECS conference at Villanova next Thursday. A highlight will be Lauren Berlant's talk at 4:30 in the Connelly Cinema. Lauren Berlant is one of the most famous literary critics in the US, and she does very challenging and cutting-edge theoretical work. Her talk is entitled, "Arts of Survival: On Dissociation and the Attachment to Life."
