English Faculty and Students Present at Masculinities Symposium
Last month, Dr. Jean Lutes and Dr. Travis Foster both spoke at the "Masculinities" symposium at the Inn at Villanova. Dr. Lutes presented on the African American feminist writer Alice Dunbar-Nelson, while Dr. Foster spoke about his new research on the figure of the "effeminate man" in nineteenth-century American literature. Also speaking at the event were senior English major Amanda Gerstenfeld ('20), junior Political Science major Danielle Burns, both of whom assisted Dr. Lutes with her research on Dunbar-Nelson, and Villanova English graduate student Jesse Schwartz.
