Rounding Out the Semester
We can see the finish line, but there are still a few weeks left to go!
While you might be seeing the finish line for this current spring semester, we’re here to remind you that there are still a few weeks left, and still so many things to do during that time! We’ve got events for you, conferences, banquets, and so much more, so don’t tune out just yet!
"The Body at Work: Revisiting The Body in Pain."
As part of the English Department’s Spring Series on The Body, we’re thrilled to share that this Wednesday, April 10th, Elaine Scarry will be joining us to deliver a lecture titled "The Body at Work: Revisiting The Body in Pain."
This free event will occur at 4:00 PM in the Marx Library Auditorium, and will be followed by a reception and an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the lecture itself.
Interested in learning more about Scarry and her work? Check out her bio below!
The Cabot Professor of Aesthetics and a Senior Fellow at Harvard's Society of Fellows, Scarry pursues two central subjects in her work: the nature of physical injury and the nature of human creation. Her notable books include The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World (1985), On Beauty and Being Just (1999), and Thermonuclear Monarchy: Choosing between Democracy and Doom (2014).
