Please join us for a symposium in celebration of the career of Thadious M. Davis, Geraldine R. Segal Professor of American Social Thought and Professor of English. We will gather to honor Thadious’s extensive contributions to scholarship, her lifelong commitment to mentoring, and her immense influence on our intellectual lives.   Showcasing scholars and colleagues that have been in conversation with and inspired by Thadious’s work, the symposium features a keynote lecture by Edwidge Danticat, recipient of the MacArthur Genius Grant and author of the best-selling  Claire of the Sea Light and Brother, I’m Dying.
