In this workshop, DeLoughrey will pre-circulate the introduction to her new monograph, Allegories of the Anthropocene (Duke UP, 2019). She will discuss her new project’s intervention in oceanic studies--which is also related to the topic of her lecture--and will discuss how her introduction frames critical conversations on the Anthropocene for multiple audiences. This workshop will also allow graduate students to ask professionalization questions about the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary writing on contemporary issues. Please RSVP to receive pre-reading.


Sponsored by the Global Postcolonialisms Collective, Animal Studies and Environmental Humanities Workshop, the Border Collective, Department of American Culture, Program in Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies, and Department of Comparative Literature.
