Deanna Koretsky, Ph.D., assistant professor in English, gave one of the plenary lectures at the University of Colorado Boulder's Resistance in the Spirit of Romanticism Conference. Drawing on papers from the Spelman Archive's own Audre Lorde Collection, her talk addressed how the academic study of Romanticism developed around inherently racist interests and proposed strategies for moving the field in new directions. This was her second plenary this year. At the same conference, Dr. Koretsky also co-led a workshop entitled "Resisting Colonialism/Resisting Gentrification" and gave a short paper on anti-racist feminist critical methods.
