Co-sponsored by CSER. We will be celebrating the publication of Matt Sandler’s The Black Romantic Revolution: Abolitionist Poets at the End of Slavery (Verso, 2020). The event is part of the English and Comparative Literature Department’s “First Books” series, which spotlights the publications of former graduate students. Matt, who is currently the Program Director of the MA in American Studies at Columbia, will discuss both the content of The Black Romantic Revolution and the process of conceiving and completing a first published monograph. The event will include responses from Prof. Brent Hayes Edwards and Tiana Reid, as well as a Q & A segment. Click for Zoom Link >>
