A K-SAA Virtual Event:
"The Spirit of the Universal Emancipation"
with Sarah Marsh and Imani Tucker
Tuesday March 31, 2025,
12-1:30 P.M. EST on Zoom
K-SAA is continuing their virtual events series with two talks by Sarah Marsh (Seton Hill University) and Imani Tucker (Yale University). During the event, titled "The Spirit of the Universal Emancipation," Marsh and Tucker will examine the role of the more- or less-than human in Romantic-era writing, whether the vampire, the figure of Prometheus, or the cosmos of Benjamin Banneker. How did Banneker's celestial maps produce a science of emancipation? What do mythical, monstrous, or undead figures reveal about the era's concepts of freedom and enslavement? Join us for this fascinating interdisciplinary conversation, chaired by Bakary Diaby (Skidmore College).
Speakers: Sarah Marsh (Seton Hill University) and Imani Tucker (Yale University)
