Marie Lathers, Treuhaft Professor of French and Humanities, spent July participating in a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute studying late American writer and essayist Flannery O’Connor. The institute was held at Georgia College in Milledgeville, where O’Connor lived.
O’Connor experts visited for seminars and worked with participants to produce new scholarship on the writer’s short stories and novels. Lathers is writing an essay on O’Connor’s “cinematic eye.”
