The study group finds its strength in its mix of European scholars from different backgrounds and at various stages in their careers. The format allows for various approaches, from academic papers, group discussions, and interventions from Master students across different universities (this year: Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9, Universit\u00e9 Bretagne Sud, and Universit\u00e9 Bordeaux Montaigne).<br \/>\nThis year the group will step into Mary Wilkins Freeman\u2019s world of New England against the backdrop of Paris, a city she visited. The focus will be on race and queer ecologies and we will be reading two of Freeman\u2019s lesser studied works: her play, <em>Giles Corey, a Yeoman<\/em>, and <em>Understudies<\/em>, a 1901 collection of stories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programme : <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, September 30 2022: 14.00-19.30<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>13.30: Welcome and coffee<\/p>\n<p>14 \u2013 14.15: Introduction: Hannah Champion (Universit\u00e9 Sorbonne-Nouvelle), Pauline Pilote (Universit\u00e9 de Bretagne-Sud), C\u00e9cile Roudeau (Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9)<\/p>\n<p>14.15 \u2013 15.15: Keynote: J.
