  1. Writing With Sound speakers series: Avery Trufelman
    • Where: Bryan Hall Faculty Lounge
    • Start time: 05:00pm
    • End time: 06:00pm
    • The English Department’s Writing With Sound speaker series is a new project that focuses on the artistic medium of the podcast. By inviting to UVA several brilliant people working in the podcast/audio space, we hope to formalize and deepen a conversation that’s already happening across the University: the consideration of podcast production as a distinct writing medium and art form. Our first guest will visit UVA on Wednesday, March 27, and will give a public talk/performance at 5 p.m., followed by a Q&A. This event will take place in the Bryan Hall Faculty Lounge. (See attached poster.) Avery Trufelman is the writer and performer of the podcasts Articles of Interest (Radiotopia), Nice Try! (Curbed/Vox), and The Cut (New York Magazine), and a former staffer at 99% Invisible. Trufelman’s work in the podcast medium addresses such diverse topics as fashion, design, architecture, and utopian communities, and has received extensive international acclaim, including favorable coverage from the New Yorker, the New York Times, the BBC, the Irish Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, and Time Magazine. Her talk/performance, “Summon the Muse,” will explore the genesis of several stories from across her career, engaging with Anne Carson’s Eros the Bittersweet in advancing a theory of the podcast medium’s distinct formal capabilities.Please direct any questions to Piers Gelly (pgg3cw@virginia.edu).
