PUBLICATIONS & ACCEPTANCES

CONFERENCES, READINGS, WORKSHOPS & PRESENTATIONS
Eva Chou presented a paper, “Nureyev Coaches Don Quixote in Beijing, 1985,” at the conference “Nureyev and Literature: Dance, Choreography, and Reception,” University of Verona, June, 2024.
Naomi Lee presented “The Nanosyntactic prediction that each language can only have one declension class containing gender doublets is false” as a poster at the 55th meeting of the North East Linguistic Society (NELS) at Yale University on October 17, 2024. She argues that a fundamental architectural assumption of that emerging theory makes an empirically falsifiable prediction; relevant evidence comes from Italian pairs like la noce ‘the walnut’ / il noce ‘the walnut tree’, and la gravel ‘the mountain bike’ / il gravel ‘the mountain bike competition’.
Steven Swarbrick gave invited lectures at the Cinema Studies Institute of the University of Toronto, the Gender and Sexuality Working Group at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Center for Visual Culture at Bryn Mawr College. He co-organized a roundtable for the annual ASAP conference (Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present), which took place in NYC. He also gave interviews on two podcasts in support of his coauthored book, Negative Life: The Cinema of Extinction: ASLE’s EcoCast, and the Penn-hosted podcast, Gender Jawn.
