I am excited to share the first full episode of The Jane Austen and the Future of the Humanities podcast (wordpress.lehigh.edu/.../epi…). You can access direct links to the episode on my website (wordpress.lehigh.edu/dmk209/) and wherever you listen to your podcasts.
Tonight, I head to Sydney, Australia and will subsequently travel to Auckland, New Zealand. During this trip, I will meet with academics, artists, writers, and activists who are working with and through Austen to engage various publics.
This trip was a tremendous experience and has transformed how I understand Austen’s cultural function and deployment amongst different public communities around the world. I am so very grateful.
In Dubai, I spoke with Laaleen Sukhera, editor of and contributor to Austenistan (2017) and Maán Jalal, novelist and journalist for The National (thenationalnews.com/topics/A…).
I also had the distinct pleasure of offering a public lecture on Jane Austen and Masculinity at Ambedkar University and interacting with several undergraduate and graduate students.
