WelcomeEach October the Department of Languages, Literature, and Philosophy sponsors the Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium to honor one of MUW's most famous alumnae. A diverse group of Southern writers and scholars are invited to present their work. One highlight of the symposium is the announcement of the Eudora Welty Prize for an unpublished book of scholarship on women's studies, Southern studies, or modern letters. All Symposium events will be held in Poindexter Hall on the MUW campus and are free and open to the public. The Symposium is made possible through the generous support of the Robert M. Hearin Support Foundation. This year's symposium will be held October 16-18, 2008. This year's schedule and program will be posted as soon as they are finalized. In the meantime, updates on this year's authors and their books can be found on the Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium 2008 Bookshelf on: Please follow the links on the left for more information. |
