Based on their brand-new Palgrave Handbook of Feminist, Queer and Trans Narrative Studies, co-editors Corinna Assmann and Vera Nünning will outline key debates and concepts at the intersection of narrative theory and feminist, queer and trans* theory, and discuss their implications for the study of narrative. Everyone interested is warmly invited to attend!

The Graduate School Practices of Literature offers a workshop with Frederike Jacob on how to moderate literary events. Doctoral candidates, master students, and faculty members are warmly invited to attend!

We warmly congratulate Katharina Scheerer on the successful defense of her dissertation! Her research at the Graduate School Practices of Literature focused on "Space Travelers, Martians and Golems: The Relationship between Avant-garde and Popular Culture in Science Fiction around 1900."

Prof. Byrd and Prof. Vendrell will focus on printed materials by people whose work has been typically excluded from the mainstream book trade due to gender, sexuality, race, or class—people who have found alternative venues in which to debate and document queer experience and their struggles for freedom. All welcome!
