Lightning talks by spring 2023 Beinecke Research Fellows

Join us for lightning talks – quick introductions to an idea or object – by six of Beinecke Library’s current Research Fellows. Learn about what they’ve been looking at from the library’s collections and how these materials are supporting their research projects. Chat with the fellows over coffee and a sweet treat at a post-talk reception.
Here are the titles of the talks the fellows will present:
Daisy Atterbury: Writing in the Nuclear Context: Space, Eros and Colonial Entanglements
in North American Poetry, 1945-Present
Benjamin Fagan: The World of Frederick Douglass’s Newspapers
Nuno Neves: The Letters of Sound Poetry: Production, Circulation and Reception Networks
Joyce Karine de Sá Souza: CAPTIVE ARCHIVES? A research proposal on Mustapha Khayati at Beinecke Library
Alice Stašková: As if: Reception and Impact of Hans Vaihinger´s Fictionalism
Heather Wolfe: Paper Matters: Materialities of Writing Paper in Early Modern England
