The audience will have the opportunity to ask Professor Reeder and Professor Zentner about the role of writing in their careers and lives. The event is open to anyone interested in how writers get their work done.
Jessie Reeder is an Assistant Professor of English at Binghamton University, specializing in nineteenth-century British literature, imperialism, and form. Her first book, The Forms of Informal Empire: Britain, Latin America, and Nineteenth-Century Literature (Johns Hopkins 2020), asks how authors responded to British-Latin American relations in the nineteenth century by writing new narratives of transnational contact. Her work can also be found in Victorian Literature and Culture, Studies in English Literature, Studies in Romanticism, and Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies. Additionally, Professor Reeder is working with a team to digitize the newspapers printed by anglophone settlers in mid-nineteenth-century Chile. She loves photography, running, cheesecake, and the mountains. Alexi Zentner is an Associate Professor of English and Creative Writing at Binghamton University. He is the author of seven novels: Copperhead, The Lobster Kings, and Touch, and under the pseudonym Ezekiel Boone, he is the author of the internationally bestselling The Hatching trilogy, which includes the books The Hatching, Skitter, and Zero Day, as well as The Mansion. His work has been published or is forthcoming in more than sixteen countries and a dozen languages. He also has several projects under development for the screen.
