The Spring 2023 meeting of the Texas Regional SSAWW Study Group will be on Saturday March 25, 2023 at Texas Women’s University in Denton, TX, hosted by Brian Fehler. Our common reading will be the new collection of Zora Neale Hurston’s short fiction, Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick: Stories from the Harlem Renaissance (Amistad/Harper Collins, 2020), edited by Genevieve West. Dr. West will be a special guest participant.

Please RSVP to Brian Fehler at bfehler@twu.edu by March 17, 2023.

The Study Group is an informal gathering of professors, graduate students, and independent scholars who share an interest in American women’s writing. We share a lunch (provided by the host campus), spend the afternoon discussing the common reading, and have dinner at a local restaurant (paid individually). We welcome new participants to join the conversation, which is always rich and stimulating, and often touches on larger professional concerns (teaching, publishing, mentoring, etc.).
