Program Description
Event Details
Dr. Elizabeth Sheehan discusses key forces in the work of Virginia Woolf, particularly imperialism and patriarchy. The discussion will examine works such as Mrs. Dalloway and Three Guineas. Recommended, but not required, reading are first two sections of Mrs. Dalloway. Attendees will be emailed recommended sections, but copies of the book may also be requested.
Dr. Sheehan’s research and teaching interests are in late-nineteenth and twentieth century American and British literatures, visual and material culture, fashion theory, periodical studies, affect studies, studies of race and ethnicity, and feminist theory. She is editing a book on fashion and literature for Cambridge University Press's Critical Concept Series and writing a monograph about how texts and textiles shape conceptions of peace during the twentieth century. She is also co-editor of the Journal of Modern Periodical Studies.
This free program is part of our lifelong learning series, Empowered Minds. The focus of this signature service is healthy aging and enrichment for the retirement-age citizens of Licking County. All adults are welcome. Empowered Minds is supported by a sustaining gift from Robert Trimble Jr., a lifelong learner, and, in part, by Licking County Senior Levy. Donations are appreciated.
