A workshop sponsored by The 1819 Social:
Writing Groups and Beyond: On Building a Writing Community that Works for You
In this conversation led by Mary Mullen (Villanova U) and Johanna Winant (West Virginia U), participants will learn about the ins-and-outs of writing support networks: how to find, join, build, organize, coordinate, and benefit from the many forms that writing exchanges can take.
This event will be held on Zoom. It is being sponsored by the K-SAA's community-based mentorship program, The 1819 Social.
Participants may register for the event here.
Please join us for what promises to be a lively and illuminating conversation!
Mary L. Mullen is Associate Professor of English at Villanova University. Her book, Novel Institutions: Anachronism, Irish Novels and Nineteenth-Century Realism (Edinburgh UP, 2019) was awarded the Robert Rhodes Prize from the American Conference for Irish Studies. Her work has also appeared in journals such as Eighteenth-Century Fiction, Victorian Studies, and Cultural Studies. Professor Mullen is currently working on two projects: a study of the colonial politics of public interest, and a hybrid memoir, titled Ghosts in the Marriage Plot, parts of which have appeared in North Dakota Quarterly, The Nonconformist Magazine, and The Rambling, among others.
Johanna Winant is Assistant Professor of English at West Virginia University. Her first book, Lyric Logic: Modern American Poetry and Reasoning, is forthcoming from Columbia UP. She also has a pedagogically oriented book, titled Close Reading for the Twenty-First Century (co-written and co-edited with Dan Sinykin), which is soon to come out with Princeton UP. Professor Winant's work has appeared in journals such as Poetics Today, James Joyce Quarterly, and the forthcoming Cambridge Companion to Philosophy and Literature.
