[Vwoolf] Woolf 2019 further information...

[Shannon, Drew [School of Arts & Humanities]]

Greetings, all!

More details about the 2019 Woolf Conference below.  Should you wish to have a copy of the conference's poster, please e-mail me and I can send it to you as an attachment; the listserv isn't allowing me to send it to the whole list as the file is too large.

In the meantime, I'm happy to share a bit more about what's in store at the conference:


 *   Our plenary speakers will include Elizabeth Abel (UC Berkeley) on Woolf and the Literary Implications of Social Justice; Anne Fernald (Fordham University) and Tonya Krouse (Northern Kentucky University) on Woolf in the Era of #MeToo; Kristin Czarnecki (Georgetown College) and Erica Delsandro (Bucknell University) on Woolf and Inclusivity; and Ellen McLaughlin (Actor [Angels in America, among many others], Director, Playwright [Septimus and Clarissa, A Narrow Bed, among others) on Woolf, Theater, and Activism.
 *   Our June 6th evening celebration will be at the historic Taft Art Museum in downtown Cincinnati, a Greek revival, National Historic Landmark building that originally served as the home of the Taft family (and from which William Howard Taft accepted his presidential nomination in 1908).  The museum will be closed to the public and attendees will be able to peruse the collection and the garden at their leisure.  For more information on the venue, visit https://taftmuseum.org/.
 *   June 7th will feature a performance of Leonard Woolf's play The Hotel, featuring students and faculty from the Mount and supervised by Ellen McLaughlin.
 *   An all-conference roundtable event will conclude the conference on Sunday morning, to be followed by a visit to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in downtown Cincinnati, a museum commemorating Cincinnati's historic location as the border between North and South, and the place to which escaped slaves fled to their freedom.  For more information, visit https://www.freedomcenter.org/.


Looking forward to seeing many of you in six months!
Cheers,
Drew
