OLD-SCHOOL, TAKE 2
Old-School is a podcast that explores how African American writers negotiate their relationship to the classics of English literature and antiquity. Join the podcast co-host Chi Elliott for a follow-up conversation about authors featured on season one of the show: Robert Hayden and Shakespeare.
In this interactive webinar, we'll talk about this innovative poet, and explore different aspects of his classical influences by looking at additional poems not featured on the podcast. And we'll answer your questions about Old-School episodes and what inspired us to make them.
This event is co-sponsored by the African American Intellectual Traditions Initiative. Berkeley Institute Alumni and Friends of the Berkeley Institute are invited to this virtual event.
Date and time forthcoming.
