We are very pleased to provide a final schedule of events for the upcoming — and now VIRTUAL — meeting of the Texas Regional SSAWW Study Group.

Because this event will take place on Zoom, we hope that many members of the SSAWW community will be able to join us. Knowing that it’s a long day of online discussion, we’ve planned numerous breaks and we invite participants to come and go as they need.

Our common reading will be Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’s The Gates Ajar (Penguin, 2019), co-edited by Elizabeth Duquette and Claudia Stokes. Dr. Stokes will be our special guest participant.

RSVP to receive the Zoom link by emailing James.Finley@tamusa.edu
