A Round Table Reading of Langston Hughes’s “Theme for English B”

Friday, September 27, 4 - 5:30pm

Flash Talks and Group Reading 

3222 Angell Hall

We will be reading Hughes’s “Theme for English B” (1951), a poem that raises questions about reading practices in the university classroom. We will read Hughes’s poem together and hear from graduate students and faculty members who have brought in “artifacts” that deepen our understanding of the poem. An open discussion will follow and light refreshments will be served!
