After receiving the Windham-Campbell Prize for drama, Kia Corthron published two novels; Abbie Spallen is currently working on her first book. Professor of English, Theater, and Performance Studies, and American Studies, Marc Robinson talks with both writers about leaving their comfort zone to tell stories in a different form.

Tsisti Dangarembga’s three novels have had an enormous impact on women’s writing in Africa and around the world. She’ll discuss all three works in a career-spanning conversation with Courtney J. Martin, the Paul Mellon director of the Yale Center for British Art.
The event will also be livestreamed on the Yale Center for British Art YouTube channel.

Please join Yale’s affinity groups and the National Alliance on Mental Illness for a virtual community wellness check-in. In light of recent events, such as: the Buffalo supermarket shooting, Robb Elementary School shooting, and the Supreme Court Decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, we have decided to host a safe space to check-in on the health and well-being of our Yale community.
