This event will give an opportunity to our graduate students and undergrads who want to be introduced to Irene Yoon (a current voice in alt-ac conversations; she was just at MLA speaking on two panels) and get more information about the LARB workshop, which happens in LA each summer and brings together folks across the changing landscapes of publishing from agents to publishers to editors to offer all kinds of professional development opportunities to attendees. The timing of the event is particularly fortuitous, since applications are due in March.
