The BSU Irish Studies and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Programs will co-sponsor a two tiered Irish cultural event on Wednesday October 14th.

Dr. Molly Ferguson, of Ball State University, author of “Banshees, Hags, and Changelings: Feminist Folklore Transformations in Irish Writing,” out this year from Syracuse University Press, will offer an interactive presentation on Wednesday October 14th, at 2:00- 3:30 pm In Weygand 1047, titled "Why we Tell Stories: Supernatural Tales in the Irish Folklore Archive"

Dr. Ferguson will expand upon these themes in another talk, that evening, 5:00-7:00 pm, in the Small Ballroom Demonstration Room (RSU 208). The title of her evening talk is "Going ‘Astray’: The Stray Sod and Buried Trauma.”

BSU alum and Irish fiddler Michael McCarthy will provide musical entertainment for the evening portion. Information about Irish Study Abroad opportunities and the Irish Studies Program will be available at both events. Refreshments will be served.

Calling all graduate students...there are still spaces available in the Professional Writing Workshop (ENGL 526-BW1) for Summer II, which begins on July 13. The course is an exciting one because you ready a work for publication and submit it to a publication venue of your choice.

Past students from this course have been published in The Graduate Review, external journals, and fiction and non-fiction publication venues. You are welcome to use something that you’ve already written that needs extensive revisions or draft something new. We also read a variety of different genres, such as grant writing, travel writing, academic/research writing, and other genres. For more information please contact Dr. Litterio ([email protected]).
