English majors present at EAPSU conference

Lauren Geiger, Macy Smith, Kara Travis, and Serena Mease gave papers April 1st at the 2016 EAPSU conference at Mansfield University.

Four English majors journeyed north for the annual EAPSU undergraduate English conference, held this year at Mansfield University, on April 1.  Each made a presentation based on a paper written in an Ursinus class. Lauren Geiger’s presentation on “Feminism, Marxism, and Sarah Orne Jewett’s ‘A White Heron’” was inspired by her work in a class on Literary Theory, while Serena Mease’s talk “Train Whistle Guitar: A Blues/Modernist Novel”  was conceived in a senior seminar on Blues Traditions in American Literature. Two other students reshaped their work from a class on Austen and the Brontes: Macy Smith, who wrote on “Functions of Surveillance in Villette and Jane Eyre,” and Kara Travis, who presented “’A Personage in Disguise’: Addressing Visibility and Identity in Jane Eyre and Villette by Charlotte Bronte.”
