On Thursday, February 8 from 10:00-11:30 am in 348 Kaplan, the Department of Comparative Literature will host Prof. Russ Castronovo (Wisconsin-Madison) for a discussion of his new book American Insecurity and the Origins of Vulnerability (Princeton UP, 2023). Two chapters from the book, which will serve as the basis of the discussion, are available here.
Following the seminar, graduate students are invited to join Prof. Castronovo and Prof. Michael Rothberg for lunch at the Faculty Club and to informally discuss Public Humanities. Please RSVP for the lunch by responding directly to Michael Rothberg (mrothberg@humnet.ucla.edu). Attendance for lunch will be limited, so please let Prof. Rothberg know as soon as possible if you want to join.
The seminar and lunch will offer a great opportunity to interact with a leading interdisciplinary scholar in a small group setting.
