Today: Mary Chapman on Edith Eaton (Sui Sin Far) and Canadian narratives of race

[John Savarese]

Dear colleagues, students, and friends,

Please join English Language & Literature today at 4:00 pm in PAS 2438 for a talk by Mary Chapman (University of British Columbia), titled "'Gwine Back to Dixie': Slave Girls, Tragic Mulattas, and Underground Railways in the Life and Work of Edith Eaton (Sui Sin Far)."

Mary Chapman is Professor of English at UBC. Her recent monograph, *Making Noise, Making News: Suffrage Print Culture and US Modernism* (2014 Oxford UP) is the winner of Society for the Study of American Women Writers' Book Award and the Canadian Association of American Studies' Book Award and a finalist for the Modernist Studies Association's Book Award. Her edited collection of uncollected works by Edith Eaton will be published by McGill-Queen's UP next spring. She is currently working on a monograph about Edith Eaton's comparative racialization moves from which her talk today is drawn.

The talk is open to the university community and the public. Please feel free to circulate this message and the attached poster widely.
