Lunch and refreshments may be served (depending on COVID protocols).
To RSVP, please contact Prof. Lesley Higgins. All are welcome.
Graduate students and faculty from all departments are invited to attend. The cross-disciplinary scope of the program—including Victorian children’s literature, music, medicine, debates about science and religion, working-class life, and international and imperial politics—is especially inviting.
For 14 years, the Victorian Studies Network at 91ÑÇÉ« has been connecting researchers and enhancing connections among faculty and graduate students. Our goal is to facilitate interdepartmental and interdisciplinary work, to enrich our personal and collective experience of research in the field, and to showcase 91ÑÇÉ« as a centre for Victorian studies.
