There is still space available at our upcoming colloquia on February 18, which will be a discussion of Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim at the University of Chicago’s Franke Institute for the Humanities. The CHF is excited to welcome Gretchen Helfrich, former Executive Producer and Host of National Public Radio’s (NPR) Odyssey and current contributor to NPR, along with James K. Chandler, Director of the Franke Institute, and Lawrence Rothfield, Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature and Founder and Current Faculty Director of the Cultural Policy Center at the University of Chicago.

Forthcoming colloquia will focus on selections of Afro-Caribbean Poetry: The Work of Luis Palés Matos and Nicolas Guillén at the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Chicago in March, and J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur’s Letters from an American Farmer in May at the Kaplan Center for the Humanities at Northwestern University.
