We are excited to announce a special conference dedicated to the life and legacy of Susan Stanford Friedman, Virginia Woolf Professor Emerita of English and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. A scholar of literary modernisms, gender, women, global languages and cultures, and planetary life, Professor Friedman was committed to reimagining what the humanities has been, what it now engages, and what lies ahead. Professor Friedman was a trailblazing scholar, a leader recognized worldwide for her groundbreaking research, and a dedicated teacher and adviser to generations of undergraduate and graduate students. Professor Friedman’s contributions as a mentor and friend were felt by the great many people with whom she shared the gift of her brilliance, wisdom, humor, and unfailing support.
We invite all to join us in this celebration of Susan Stanford Friedman’s work and life.
