SUMMARY:The Mystery of Edwin Drood Discussion Series
DESCRIPTION:The Mystery of Edwin Drood Discussion Series\nFebruary 26\, March 26\, and April 30 at 1:00-3:00 PM | Virtual Event \nThe next three Pickwick Club sessions will focus on Dickens’s last and most enigmatic work\, the unfinished Mystery of Edwin Drood. Considered by many lovers of detective fiction to be the ultimate mystery novel\, since its author died without providing a solution\, Drood has challenged and intrigued the imaginations of generations of readers. \nJoin Dickens enthusiast\, writer\, and Friends of the Dickens Project board member\, Carl Wilson for a series of discussions about this book. Wilson notes: \n“I first read Drood in 1980 when Leon Garfield published his completion of the novel. I was fascinated then\, and still am\, by his theory that Dickens would have presented Jasper as a divided self\, anticipating Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde by almost twenty years. Although no one will truly know\, that theory has stayed with me since\, and I would suggest that first-time readers pay close attention to Dickens’s various descriptions of Jasper throughout the five completed and sixth partially completed monthly numbers.” \nReading Schedule\nFebruary 26: Chapters 1-9\nMarch 26: Chapters 10-16\nApril 30: Chapters 17-End \nQuestions to consider for the first session: The opening chapter reads like almost nothing else that Dickens wrote. What is the purpose of such tortuous writing? What is the result of Dickens choosing to write much of the opening pages in present tense? Wilkie Collins thought that Drood was “the melancholy work of a worn-out brain.” Do you agree? \nMore Information: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/resources/pickwick-club/2023-02-edwin-drood.html\nRegistration: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEkdOmurTgjGdIQ0pyOjIhtspXltHg3huWg \nThe Santa Cruz Pickwick (Book) Club\, a branch of the Dickens Fellowship\, is a community of local bookworms\, students\, and teachers who meet monthly to discuss a nineteenth-century novel. The Santa Cruz Public Libraries provide support for the reading group.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - VOCES Drafting Stages with Melissa Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Drafting Stages is a series of intimate conversations with speakers working inside and outside of academia and at different points in their careers about writing as an evolving and non-linear process. Focusing on conditions\, inspirations\, and methods\, each speaker will offer personal insight into their processes and the messiness and vulnerabilities of drafting stages. \nThe invited speaker for this session is Melissa Johnson\, Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Studies and chair of the Race and Ethnicity Studies program at Southwestern University\, a small liberal arts college near Austin\, Texas. Her research and writing are primarily focused on Belize’s rural Afro-Caribbean communities and the inter-relationship between ecologies\, economies\, and racial formations\, both historically and in the present day in these communities. Along with her book\, Becoming Creole: Race and Nature in Belize (Rutgers 2018)\, she has numerous articles in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary journals\, and several scholarly projects underway\, including work on the racial history of Southwestern University. \n \nThe conversation will be facilitated by Dr. Gina Athena Ulysse\, Professor in the Feminist Studies Department at UCSC. This event is presented by GANAS Graduate Pathways and VOCES and is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute. \n  \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series \nJoin us for the seventh year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by The Humanities Institute. We meet monthly to discuss possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grant/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more.
