Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This is the first of two sessions that will focus on contemporary African American poetry in preparation for our seminar with Prof. Evie Shockley in Week 6. Prof. Shockley has suggested readings to orient us in the field and to prepare us to engage with her own research on recent work on Black poetic and visual forms.
Readings: * Harryette Mullen’s ‘African Signs and Spirit Writing’ (1996)—on SOLO * Natasha Tretheway’s Thrall (2012), pp. 16-36 and 59-70. * Meta D. Jones, ‘Reframing Exposure: Natasha Trethewey’s Forms of Enclosure,’ ELH 82.2 (2015): 407-29—on SOLO
All seminars will be held on Zoom. For Zoom invitation and pre-circulated readings, please join the ALRS mailing list by sending a blank email to alrs-subscribe@maillist.ox.ac.uk.
