SUMMARY:Kanner Forum: Matthew Vernon
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for a talk featuring Matthew Vernon\, Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of California\, Davis.

This event is co-sponsored by UCLA’s Department of African American Studies\, Department of Comparative Literature and CMRS Center for Early Global Studies. \nRegister here for onsite attendance in Kaplan Hall 193 or online attendance on Zoom. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the event. \nMatthew Vernon is an Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of California\, Davis. His first book\, The Black Middle Ages\, explores the understudied relationship between medievalism and Blackness in nineteenth and twentieth-century literature. He has also written articles on a set of his interests around issues of race and genre. This has led to articles on the post-truth phenomenon in nineteenth-century novels\, Black speculative fiction\, and comic books about displacement and vulnerability. He is currently working on an article on the adaptation of the medieval play\, Everyman. \nMatthew Fisher is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at UCLA. His first book\, Scribal Authorship and the Writing of History in Medieval England (2012)\, examines the entangled work of medieval scribes and the writers of history. He is currently writing a book about library fires and the afterlife of medieval manuscripts from the Dissolution to the 18th Century. In addition to his published academic essays and articles\, he has also written for Public Books and Zocalo Public Square. He is the editor of the journal Viator. \nQuestions about the event?\nContact Marta Wallien\, Programs and Media Manager\nmwallien@english.ucla.edu
