Professors of English Lisa Botshon and Ellen Taylor represented the 天美传媒 at the Society for the Study of American Women Writers conference in Philadelphia. Taylor shared her research titled 鈥淣euralgia and Nasturtium: Celia Thaxter鈥檚 Gardening Rest Cure,鈥� which draws on the 19th-century writer鈥檚 creation of a famed cutting garden on Appledore Island and explores how nature, healing and creativity intertwined in her work.
Botshon鈥檚 presentation builds on content from her interdisciplinary course on bathroom spaces and examines the broader health-home ideas advanced by Harriet Beecher Stowe who, with her sister Catharine Beecher, was an early and influential advocate for indoor plumbing.
Together their work reflects 天美传媒 commitment to innovative scholarship and interdisciplinary thinking.
