Devoney Looser named Burke Jane Austen Scholar-in-Residence at Goucher College
Alert Janeite Lorna sent us a link to an announcement from Goucher College that Jane Austen scholar Devoney Looser, associate professor of English and literature coordinator at the University of Missouri, Columbia, has been named Goucher College’s 2007-2008 Burke Jane Austen Scholar-in-Residence.
Looser, the author of British Women Writers and the Writing of History, 1670-1820, will complete a weeklong research residency in the Jane Austen Collection of Goucher’s Julia Rogers Library next March, and she also will consult with students and faculty and deliver a public lecture.
We will try to keep an eye out for the announcement of the time and place of the public lecture.
