Introducing Goucher’s 2015-16 Jane Austen Scholar-in-Residence

The Biennial Jane Austen Scholar-in-Residence Program brings a competitively selected scholar to Goucher for a week to research the college's Alberta H. and Henry G. Burke Papers and Jane Austen Research Collection. The chosen scholar also works with related undergraduate classes and presents a public lecture on an Austen-related topic. In her application for the program, Anderson proposed a lecture titled "Emma as Medieval Queen: Jane Austen's Glorification of Female Hospitality," which will focus on Austen's allusion to medieval traditions and symbols in Emma.
