A Virtual Conference Hosted by Mount Holyoke College

Romanticism entails a history of promised but failed revolutions, a history that terrorizes as much as it transforms. While the field has long been shaped by histories and discourses of whiteness and patriarchy, this conference avows and solicits new and ongoing scholarship on race, anti-slavery, abolition, and indigeneity. Visit the conference website for more information.

  • June 24, 1:45-3:15pm EST, Plenary Collaboration 1: “Citation, Appropriation, and Abolition” with Kerry Sinanan (University of Texas at San Antonio); Eugenia Zuroski (McMaster University); Matt Sandler (Columbia University)
