Unpacking the Planet - Modernisms, Feminisms, Comparisons

This conference is dedicated to the life and legacy of Susan Stanford Friedman, Virginia Woolf Professor Emerita of English and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. A scholar of literary modernisms, gender, women, global languages and cultures, and planetary life, Professor Friedman was committed to reimagining what the humanities has been, what it now engages, and what lies ahead. We invite all to join us in this celebration of Susan Stanford Friedman’s work and life.
