On April 11, 2012, at 1 pm, in the Gordon Wood Lounge (Dunton Tower 1811), CORAL will be presenting two thrilling speakers on closely related topics.

Dr. Julie Murray (Carleton University) will be discussing female biography, focusing on literary women of the 1790s and drawing on Agamben's ideas of 'bare life.'
Dr. April London (University of Ottawa) will be discussing Sarah Fielding and touch on the careers of Lucy Aikin and Elizabeth Hamilton.
Several people who attended CSECS 2011 said they wished they could have heard April and Julie together - this will be your chance! Anyone interested in literary biography, novel theory, feminist theory, or politics should come out for this colloquium.
Refreshments will be served.
