On Thursday, April 26, the LONG NINETEENTH CENTURY SEMINAR will present a
workshop on the “wide nineteenth century” featuring PARAMA ROY (UC
Davis) and LYNN VOSKUIL (Univ. of Houston); LINDSEY CHAPPELL and JADE HAGAN
will serve as respondents.
The two workshop papers will be pre-circulated: PROFESSOR ROY’S PAPER,
“ON VERMINOUS LIFE,” examines nineteenth-century debates around animal
protection, parsing the morality and politics of nonhuman life in imperial
colonies; and PROFESSOR VOSKUIL’S PAPER, “PEOPLE, PLANTS, AND
EMPIRE,” is part of the introduction to her book on horticulture and
imperialism.
If you’d like to take part in this workshop and receive copies of the
papers, PLEASE EMAIL MARK CELESTE (_mc64@rice.edu_).
