Finding the Magic: The Transformative Potential of Collaboration

 

Join us for a talk by Dr. Kristina Fagan Bidwell (PhD), faculty member in the Department of English

While most literary scholars work alone, working collaboratively has the potential to transform our research and even ourselves. Working across cultural differences, while challenging, can open up previously unimagined possibilities. Drawing on her interviews with scholars who have extensive collaborative experience, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Storytelling Kristina Bidwell will share stories of how working together can create moments of magic, joy, and personal change.
