Elizabethtown College Social Studies Education major and English Literature minor Haley Bateman \u201926 recently presented a paper at the annual meeting of the Midwest Modern Language Association (MMLA)<\/a> on Nov. 14 in Chicago, Ill.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresenting at the MMLA Convention in Chicago was incredibly beneficial and rewarding,\u201d Bateman said. \u201cSharing my research with those in the English field was a great experience, and receiving meaningful questions and feedback on my work was very helpful for my future writing and research.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bateman\u2019s paper, \u201c\u2018A White Woman\u2019s Falsehood:\u2019 Myths of Chivalry and Black-on-White Rape in Ida B. Wells\u2019s Pamphlets,\u201d addressed Wells\u2019 work on lynching in the United States, which was published during the 1890s. The presentation was based on a paper Bateman wrote for EN 203: American Literature and Culture II: 1866-Present, taught by Assistant Professor of English Literature Patrick S. Allen.<\/p>\n

Allen and Bateman co-presented a paper on Carmen Mario Machado\u2019s memoir, \u201cIn the Dream House.\u201d Their joint presentation was based on an article<\/a> the two published in the journal Midwestern Miscellany<\/a>, titled \u201c\u2018We can\u2019t stop living:\u2019 No Love for Queer Memoirs in the Heartland.\u201d The pair began working together on the subject in May 2023 through Allen\u2019s Queer Literature course.<\/p>\n

In addition to presenting, Bateman got the chance to learn from other scholars and listen to their perspectives and analyses on a variety of literary works.<\/p>\n

“It was an absolute pleasure witnessing Haley present (both on their own and with me) at this conference,\u201d Allen said. \u201cThey’re doing work at a level typically expected of graduate students. I was proud to have Haley represent English literature at Etown with me given the deep, critical analysis they put forth in both their papers.”<\/p>\n

Allen and Bateman were able to connect through Bateman\u2019s English Literature minor. The minor allows students to conduct close literary analysis that relates to their interests while working closely with Etown\u2019s English faculty and staff who specialize in a variety of literary areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
