Engaged Reading | Time is a Mother, by Ocean Vuong

3:30pm Thursday, October 31 – Hall Center for the Humanities

 

Healthy democracy fosters an exchange of ideas across experiences and knowledge. One way to offer a platform for this is to root discussion in shared reading and collaborative understanding. Engaged Reading is offered to promote learning and inquiry across populations at the University, through common texts. Inspired by the expansive reach of the KU Reads / Common Book program, and curated with goals of generous and generative conversation, this series will feature excerpts and texts presented with discussion stewards. 


‘Time is a Mother,’ by Ocean Vuong
          Discussion led by Akiko Takeyama (Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies/Center for East Asian Studies) and Megan Kaminski (English/Environmental Studies). It is not necessary to have attended the September 26 event with Ocean Vuong, hosted by The Commons.

 

Supported by the Hall Center for the Humanities, KU Libraries, the Spencer Museum of Art, the Institute for Policy & Social Research, and The Commons

Little lakeside hike + big announcement: after two years of a split appointment, I’ll be Poet and Professor in @kuenvstudies full time starting this fall🦋 So grateful to have found my KU home with wonderful colleagues, staff, and students her
First snow of the year + cozy times with friends
A beautiful afternoon in the Flint Hills: bison grazing in the fields, a white horse outside the barn, my father showing off his (lack of) lasso technique. And @prairieecologist beautiful talk from yesterday’s Ecology Seminar still on my mind ?
Today is a fall day like any other day and not. Doing my best to tend to and care for people and this place we call home
