Informal discussion and mentoring session for graduate students
Faculty Lounge, Fisher-Bennett Hall room 135
How does writing for “the general public” differ from writing for a scholarly community? What’s involved in reimagining your dissertation for a broader audience? What kinds of “public” writing can we engage in while continuing our work in scholarly journals? In this brown-bag lunchtime discussion, we will focus on issues of voice, community, genre, and multiple audiences, thinking both about ‘purely’ scholarly work and about applications of research for different publics (and asking whether this is, in fact, an either/or).

Public Lecture
Class of 1978 Pavilion, sixth floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library
2023 marks 400 years since the publication of the first collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays, the book now revered as the First Folio. This talk introduces what’s significant about this book, and what copies—including the one at Penn—can tell us about the way it was put together, and the uses to which it has been put over the last four centuries.
Open to everyone. Registration required: https://www.library.upenn.edu/events/shakespeares-first-folio-400
