WILMINGTON, NC – Sara Suleri Goodyear, professor of English at Yale University, will present “Constructing Postcolonial Memory: Gender’s Parting of Ways” at 3:30 p.m., Thursday, March 20 in Morton Hall, Bryan Auditorium, at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. A reception and book signing will follow this free, public presentation.

Goodyear’s literary expertise includes Romantic and Victorian poetry as well as the works of Edmund Burke. She also studies postcolonial literatures and theory, contemporary criticism and literature and law. She is the author of Meatless Days and The Rhetoric of English India. In addition to founding The Yale Journal of Criticism, Goodyear serves on its editorial board along with that of The Yale Review and Transition.

Goodyear’s March 20 presentation will center on the problem between postcolonial theory and the location of memory. The UNCW Department of English and Buckner Lecture Series is sponsoring this talk.
