Euterpe Doctoral Network Project

⚡Participation update⚡

Doctorate candidate Maria Auxiliadora Castillo Soto (Auxi Castillo Soto) was invited to participate in an event titled “Feminism in the Global South: Shedding a Light on Underrepresentation,” organized by UNICEF Student Team Utrecht and Feles in Felium (FIF) at Utrecht University.

Castillo Soto presented her experience as a Latin American early-career scholar in the Netherlands, where she is completing her PhD trajectory. She talked about her research, the Euterpe project and the different output that the consortium has developed so far.

✨Susan Stanford Friedman Lecture Series✨

When the planning for the EUTERPE Project started in 2021, one of the first people we reached out to for support and participation was Susan Stanford Friedman (1943–2023). Known for her research in literary and gender studies, whose wide interests included women’s literature, modernity, migration/diaspora studies, global and transnational literatures, and postcolonial studies, Susan Friedman was an author whose work was seminal for the research done in EUTERPE. We were happy and honoured when she accepted our invitation, looking forward to four years of cooperation. However, unfortunately, soon after the start of the project she passed away. It was a hard blow for many of us gathered around EUTERPE because for us Susan was much more than a highly respected and influential scholar. She was a special friend known for her warm personality and intellectual generosity. She selflessly shared her knowledge, supported the work of her colleagues and engaged in teaching and promoting young scholars.

This lecture series was created in her honour to celebrate her legacy and to keep her presence alive. Thank you to Susan’s friends, colleagues, students, and admirers who hosted and delivered these memorial lectures. And thank you to Susan, a dedicated feminist who has touched our lives and who will continue to inspire us in the years to come.

The following three lectures were delivered at our biannual EUTERPE Doctoral Schools hosted by participating universities:
1. "Ruins, Fragments, and the Word: War, Memory, and Utopian Vision in H.D.’s Late Poetry" with Raffaella Baccolini.
2. "Use the Words You Have to Get the Words You Need" with Kimberly Campanello.
3. "Reshuffling: Feminist Collaboration and Transnational Solidarity" with Rebecca L. Walkowitz.

These lectures can be accessed on our website, youtube channel, and soundcloud:
