SUMMARY:Creative Writing Program Visiting Writer: Mecca Jamilah Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Mecca Jamilah Sullivan is the visiting writing for Fall 2024. Mecca is an award-winning fiction writer and critic. The craft talk will be at 3 pm and a reading and Q&A will be at 7 pm. \nMecca Jamilah Sullivan’s fiction explores the intellectual\, emotional\, and bodily lives of young black women through voice\, music\, and hip-hop inflected magical realist techniques. She is the author of the short story collection Blue Talk and Love (2015)\, winner of the Judith Markowitz Award for Fiction from Lambda Literary; The Poetics of Difference: Queer Feminist Forms in the African Diaspora (2022)\, winner of the William Sanders Scarborough Prize from the Modern Language Association; and her critically acclaimed debut novel Big Girl (W.W. Norton & Co. 2022)\, which was a New York Times Editors’ Choice and winner of the Next Generation Indie Book Award and the Balcones Fiction Prize. \nAbout Sullivan’s debut novel\, Big Girl\, Kiese Laymon says\, “There are three books on earth that I would give anything to be able to write and reread until the sun burns us up. Big Girl is one of those books. The sound\, the expansiveness of the whispers\, the critical\, brilliant\, sometimes bruising\, beautiful Black girlness explored in this novel is literally second to none. I know I have just read and reread a new American classic that we as a culture and country desperately need. Believe that.” While Rick Moody succinctly observes her writing to feel “nearly Faulknerian.” \nSullivan’s short stories have appeared in Best New Writing\, Kenyon Review\, American Fiction: Best New Stories by Emerging Writers\, Prairie Schooner\, Callaloo\, Crab Orchard Review\, Robert Olen Butler Fiction Prize Stories\, BLOOM: Queer Fiction\, Art\, Poetry and More\, TriQuarterly\, Feminist Studies\, All About Skin: Short Stories by Award-Winning Women Writers of Color\, DC Metro Weekly\, Baobab: South African Journal of New Writing\, and many others. A 2016 Pushcart Prize nominee\, she is the winner of the Charles Johnson Fiction Award\, the Glenna Luschei Fiction Award\, the James Baldwin Memorial Playwriting Award\, and honors from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\, the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference\, Lambda Literary\, and the Center for Fiction in New York City\, where she received an inaugural Emerging Writers Fellowship. \nA proud native of Harlem\, NY\, Sullivan’s critical and scholarly work on sexuality\, identity\, and poetics in contemporary African Diaspora culture has appeared in The Cut\, Feminist Studies\, American Quarterly\, College Literature\, The Rumpus\, Ebony.com\, The Feminist Wire\, Black Futures\, and many others. Mecca’s research and scholarship have earned support from the Mellon-Mays Foundation\, the Social Sciences Research Council\, Williams College\, Rutgers University\, Duke University\, the American Academy of University Women\, and the Institute for Citizens and Scholars (formerly the Woodrow Wilson Foundation). \nShe is a Professor of English at Georgetown University and lives in Washington\, DC.

SUMMARY:Visiting Writer: Nicky Beer
DESCRIPTION:Nicky Beer visits UWM as part of the Creative Writing program’s visiting writer series. \nCraft Talk @ 3 pm – to livestream: https://tinyurl.com/47xam2et \nReading @ 7 pm – to livestream: https://tinyurl.com/mr3tdhx7 \nNicky is a bi/queer writer\, and the author of Real Phonies and Genuine Fakes (Milkweed\, 2022)\, winner of the 2023 Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Poetry. She has received honors from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, MacDowell\, the Poetry Foundation\, and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. She has also led workshops\, craft classes\, and craft talks for the Indiana University Writers’ Conference\, the Minnesota Northwoods\nWriters Conference\, the Yale Young Writers’ Workshop\, and more. She is an associate professor at the University of Colorado Denver\, where she is a poetry editor for Copper Nickel. \nHer latest book of poems is “Real Phonies and Genuine Fakes.”\nWhat is illusion—a deception\, or a revelation? What is a poem—the truth\, or “a diverting flash\, / a mirror showing everything / but itself”?\nNicky Beer’s latest collection of poems is a labyrinthine academy specializing in the study of subterfuge; Marlene Dietrich\, Dolly Parton\, and Batman are its instructors. With an energetic eye\, she thumbs through our collective history books—and her personal one\, too—in an effort to chart the line between playful forms of duplicity and those that are far more insidious. \nThrough delicious japery\, poems that can be read multiple ways\, and allusions ranging from Puccini’s operas to Law & Order\, Beer troubles the notion of truth. Often\, we settle for whatever brand of honesty is convenient for us\, or whatever is least likely to spark confrontation—but this\, Beer knows\, is how we invite others to weigh in on what kind of person we are. This is how we trick ourselves into believing they’re right. “Listen / to how quiet it is when I lose the self-doubt played / for so long I mistook it for music.” \n“Real Phonies and Genuine Fakes” asks us to look through the stereoscope: which image is the real one? This one—or this one\, just here? With wisdom\, humility\, and a forthright tenderness\, Nicky Beer suggests that we consider both—together\, they might contribute to something like truth.

SUMMARY:The Many Mrs. Maisels - The History of Jewish Female Stand-Up Comedians
DESCRIPTION:Before The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\, there was a long history of Jewish female comedians\, standing up and speaking out. Although stand-up comedy is often described as a ‘boys’ club\,’ the truth is that there have always been influential women on the scene. Alongside Jewish male comics like Groucho Marx\, Lenny Bruce\, Jack Benny\, and Jerry Seinfeld\, there were pioneering Jewish female stand-ups like Jean Carroll\, Joan Rivers\, Totie Fields\, and Sarah Silverman\, offering their inimitable insights on the experience of being a Jew—and a woman—in the United States. From tackling double standards to deflating stereotypes like the “Jewish American Princess\,” Jewish female stand-up comedians have made major contributions to the way that American audiences have seen Jewish women—and the way that Jewish women have seen themselves. \nPresented by Grace Overbeke\, assistant professor in the theatre department at Columbia College. Her academic focus is in comedy studies and has been published in Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies\, Theatre Topics\, Theatre Annual\, The New England Theatre Journal\, Theatre Survey\, Studies in American Humor\, and The Jewish Forward. She holds a BA in theatre and English from Wesleyan University and an MA and PhD. from Northwestern University in theatre and drama. \nThe Faye Sigman Woman of Valor Lecture is made possible by the generosity of the Taxman and Temkin families. \nThis is a hybrid event with both an in-person and virtual option. Free but registration required at https://wisconsin-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MA66E_0MQU2q8Ftf05k99g#/registration \nCosponsored by UWM’s Departments of English and Women’s and Gender Studies; and programs in Digital Arts and Culture; Film Studies; and Journalism\, Advertising\, and Media Studies

SUMMARY:Translating and Recovering Miriam Karpilove\, Yiddish Authoress
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Kirzane presents the 2023 Faye Greenberg Sigman Woman of Valor Lecture.  \nIn person and via Zoom. For Zoom link register at https://bit.ly/Kirzane \nMiriam Karpilove (1888-1956) was a prolific Yiddish writer certain of her own importance\, even as she was ignored by critics and largely forgotten during her own lifetime. In this lecture\, Jessica Kirzane\, who has devoted the past several years to translating and championing Karpilove’s work\, will explore the author’s barbed criticism of turn-of-the-century Yiddish societal expectations around gender and sexuality.  Interweaving Karpilove’s biography with excerpts and discussion of her clever and humorous writing\, Kirzane will paint a portrait of a quick-witted writer and the worlds she inhabited and created.   \nJessica Kirzane is the assistant instructional professor of Yiddish at the University of Chicago and the editor-in-chief of In geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies. She is the translator of three works by Miriam Karpilove: Diary of a Lonely Girl\, or the Battle Against Free Love (Syracuse University Press\, 2020)\, Judith: a tale of love and woe (Farlag Press\, 2022) and A Provincial Newspaper and Other Stories (Syracuse University Press\, forthcoming). Kirzane publishes regularly about Yiddish language pedagogy and Yiddish Studies pedagogy more broadly\, in addition to her scholarship on representations of gender and race in American Jewish literature. \nThe lecture is made possible by the generosity of the Taxman and Temkin families.

SUMMARY:Fandom\, The Next Generation: Book Talk with Bridget Keyes + Megan Connor
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion 10:30 am to 11:30 am\nBook Talk 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm \nImagine a Millennial parent taking their child to see The Last Jedi after their Baby Boomer parents took them to see Return of the Jedi. Picture longtime friends attending a Backstreet Boys reunion concert as adults. For better or worse\, reboots\, remakes\, and revivals are now a standard media industry practice. New modes of distribution and exhibition have further changed fans’ abilities to encounter or re-encounter media texts. Bridget Kies (’18 English PhD) and Megan Connor (’15 English MA) offer one of the first close studies of fan generations\, looking at how these generations are influenced by and\, in turn\, influence technologies\, industry practices\, and social and political changes. \nBridget Kies is assistant professor of Film Studies and Production at Oakland University\, where she also serves on the executive committee for the Women and Gender Studies program. Her research on sexualities and media fandoms has been published in the journals Feminist Media Histories\, Science Fiction Film and Television\, Journal of Popular Romance Studies\, Transformative Works and Cultures\, and Intensities\, as well as several edited collections. With Megan Connor\, she is co-editor of Fandom\, the Next Generation (2022). She has also co-edited issues of Queer Studies in Media and Popular Culture and Participations. She is currently writing a book about the enduring popularity of Murder\, She Wrote. \nMegan Connor received her PhD from Indiana University’s Media School\, where she now serves as research coordinator at the Institute for Communication Research. Her research examines girls’ media\, celebrity\, and fandom. Her dissertation used an archive of teen magazines such as Seventeen and Teen Vogue to explore the construction and promotion of celebrity girlhood in the 2000s as an idealized form of youthful femininity. With Bridget Kies\, Megan is co-editor of Fandom\, the Next Generation (2022). Her work has been published in The Black Girlhood Studies Collection (2019) and the journal Black Camera\, where she also served as managing editor for several years.

SUMMARY:The Rise of Right-Wing Comedy
DESCRIPTION:That’s Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them argues that it is both an intellectual and politically strategic mistake to assume that comedy has a liberal bias. Right-wing comedy has been hiding in plain sight\, finding its way into mainstream conservative media through figures ranging from Fox News’s Greg Gutfeld to libertarian podcasters like Joe Rogan. \nSelected as a 2022 Best Comedy Book by Vulture\, That’s Not Funny taps interviews with conservative comedians and observations of them inaction. You may find many of these comedians appalling\, some very funny\, and others just plain weird. They are all\, however\, culturally and politically relevant as the American right attempts to seize spaces of comedy and irony previously held firmly by the left. Like this brand of humor or not\, you can’t ignore it. \nNick Marx is Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies in the Department of Communication Studies at Colorado State University.
