Dear All,

In case you have not seen the news, Susan Stanford Friedman passed away yesterday. 

She was an amazing scholar and generous mentor to so many scholars and students. She held the Virginia Woolf Professorship in English and Women's Studies at University of Wisconsin. Some of you may remember the keynote she gave at the 17th annual conference on Woolf at Miami U. One of the most remarkable things about Susan was that despite her scholarly acumen and her stature as one of the preeminent scholars of modernism, she always always had time and attention to give to younger scholars and students. I said this once to her face, and I am glad that I did, that I often would think about life and professional goals and would think "when I grow up I want to be like Susan Stanford Friedman. Then I know I will have done something for the generations who come after me." I still feel that way, although the world has lost a luminary and I grieve for her loved ones and former students. 

 

Her memory will be a blessing. 

 

Love,

Madelyn

Miami University is located within the traditional homelands of the Myaamia and Shawnee people, who along with other indigenous groups ceded these lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The Miami people, whose name our university carries, were forcibly removed from these homelands in 1846.In 1972, a relationship between Miami University and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma began and evolved into a reciprocal partnership, including the creation of the Myaamia Center at Miami University in 2001. The work of the Myaamia Center serves the Miami Tribe community and is dedicated to the revitalization of Miami language and culture and to restoring that knowledge to the Myaamia people.
