Hello All,
Professor Hopper teaches a class on Public Writing at the Graduate Center, and sponsors a speaker series on Public Writing for Academics. She asked us to share her announcement
for Wednesday’s speaker with you. The talk is open to everyone, and is useful for those thinking about writing for larger publics. The Zoom link appears below.
Best,
Bill
You’re invited to a conversation about Public Writing for Academics with Jennifer L. Wilson this Wednesday March 15 at 4.30 pm!
Jennifer got a PhD in Slavic Studies and now works full-time as a public writer, writing for the
New York Times, The Nation, and elsewhere. She is Director
of the Arts and Culture Reporting Program at CUNY’s Newmark School of Journalism. She recently received the NBCC Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing:
“In graceful, well-crafted prose enriched by deep understanding of her subject, Jennifer Wilson turns a review of a new translation
of an unfinished novel by Alexander Pushkin, ‘Peter the Great’s African,’ into a sophisticated exploration of how the great Russian poet’s personal heritage as the great-grandson of a Black African informed his art and shaped his understanding of what it meant
to be Russian,” says prize chair Colette Bancroft.
