The next meeting of the Texas Regional SSAWW Study Group will be Saturday October 5, 2024 at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX, hosted by Dr. Elissa Zellinger. Our common reading will be Christina Sharpe’s Ordinary Notes(Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2023) and a nineteenth-century companion text (TBA). Dr. Joycelyn Moody will be a special guest participant.

Please RSVP to Dr. Zellinger at elissa.zellinger@ttu.edu by September 25, 2024, and indicate whether you plan to attend the dinner.

About the Study Group: We are 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.).

More details regarding the schedule, location, lodging, etc. will be available on our website in the Fall: http://txssaww.wordpress.com/
