Join us for a panel discussion with artists and scholars on Everett’s Erasure. Each panelist will provide a different window into what’s beyond Erasure or what reading Erasure inspires (broadly conceived).

Featuring: Lauren Jackson (English, Northwestern University), Candice Jenkins (African American Studies/English), and Stacey Robinson (Art and Design). Moderator: Robert Dale Parker (Emeritus, English).

Organized by 2025-26 HRI Director’s Fellow Christopher Freeburg (English) and affiliated with the Black Letters Collective.
