Critical Conversations: Porous Publics

The UBC English Graduate Student Caucus, with the support of the Department of English Language & Literatures, is pleased to invite you to “Porous Publics” as part of the 2025/2026 Critical Conversations series. On Tuesday, Jan. 27, join us for a critical conversation between Dr. Patricia Badir, Dr. Dennis Britton, and Dr. Barbara Dancygier.

Critical Conversations is a faculty research series organized by both the UBC Department of English Language and Literatures and the UBC English Graduate Student Caucus. The events aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue across fields and periodization between students, faculty, and the larger university community. These events, which occur a handful of times over the course of the academic year, feature brief talks by speakers on a critical topic informed by their wide-ranging research expertise and interests.
