SUMMARY:Carroll en Francais
DESCRIPTION:Watch Carroll en Francais on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us as Justine Houyaux and Douglas Kibbee explore French translations of Lewis Carroll’s works. \n\n\n\nSurrealice-Adjacent: Three French Translators of Carroll in the Interwar Period with Justine Houyaux \n\n\n\nAfter a brief contextualisation of the French reception (or lack thereof) of Lewis Carroll’s works\, we will look into three of his translators of the late 1920s/early 1930s: Louis Aragon (1897-1982)\, Marie-Madeleine Fayet (1893-1963)\, and René Bour (1908-1934) through their translations of The Hunting of the Snark\, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There in order to discover what they had in common\, and what they set them apart from each other— and from subsequent French translators. \n\n\n\nJustine Houyaux is a PhD student at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Translation and Interpreting Studies (CIRTI) at ULiège (Belgium) whose work focuses on the cultural elements in the French translations of Alice. Her latest work\, Alice au Pays des merveilles\, traduction et illustrations de René Bour (2023)is a new edition of Bour’s Carrollian endeavour (1937)\, presented together with the first-ever biography of the artist. \n\n\n\nMore curiouser and more curiouser! with Douglas Kibbee \n\n\n\n“Lewis Carroll is untranslatable\, and everywhere he has been translated” quipped Peter Rickard\, a British scholar\, back in 1975. At that point he identified sixteen translations of Alice in Wonderland into French. Now there are at least fifty-one. If translation of ordinary English is difficult\, translating unconventional English is much more difficulter(!). We’ll examine the different rabbit holes followed by French translators in rendering one sentence: “Curiouser and curiouser!” cried Alice (she was so much surprised that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English). Your contributions are welcome! No knowledge of French necessary. \n\n\n\nDouglas Kibbee is professor emeritus of French Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Over the years he has created a corpus of the fifty-one translations\, organized sentence by sentence. He has also written several articles analyzing different aspects of these translations and translated himself folk tales from the Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast).

SUMMARY:Six Impossible Things with Matt Demakos
DESCRIPTION:Watch Six Impossible Things on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIt’s an LCSNA event with a twist: you get to help choose the program! Join Matt Demakos as he discusses a recent research project involving six short videos on different Carrollian topics\, then vote on which videos we’ll watch live! Plus\, Alan Tannenbaum talks about the LCSNA YouTube channel. A sneak preview of your choices: \n\n\n\nThe Carpenter’s Paper Hat: How to Fold and Not to FoldSeveral modern-day publications and videos show how the Carpenter would have folded the paper hat that he wears on his head. But how did Victorians really fold it? Watch\, and learn a bit of history as well. \n\n\n\nLooking-Glass Chess: The Blunders and the BlunderersLooking-Glass chess is indeed strange and many of the moves the characters make are certainly blunders\, that is\, bone-headed\, or outright mad. But not all is as it seems. Some supposed blunders are\, curiously enough\, not blunders at all. Watch and see if you can guess which are which? (You do not have to be a chess expert to understand the commentary.) \n\n\n\nAlice’s Flight from Looking-Glass Castle: An Alternative Ending RevealedDid Carroll have another ending in mind for Looking-Glass? According to the analysis presented here—which scrutinizes the chess\, Carroll’s own text\, and an old lady’s memory—he most certainly did. It also may have been the superior ending. Listen and decide for yourself. \n\n\n\nAbout that Mysterious Prelude in the Alice OperettaIn 1886\, Henry Savile Clark and Walter Slaughter’s Alice in Wonderland was performed on the stage. Did a piece of music\, regulated to a mere prelude in 1887\, once accompany the deleted scene where Alice passes through the Looking-Glass? Listen to the evidence and the music to decide for yourself. (For the first time\, the video presents an actual piece of orchestration once heard by Lewis Carroll.) \n\n\n\nJohn Tenniel’s Method: The Jabberwock ExplainsThe illustration of the Jabberwock is used to explain how John Tenniel created his wood-engraved illustrations for the Alice books. An intentional mistake is made\, however\, during the course of the discussion. Do you have an observant\, sharp\, logical enough mind to spot it? We will let you know. \n\n\n\nWidener’s Lost Wonderland: An Open Letter to the Current OwnerThere are several lost items related to Lewis Carroll that would be as thrill to find\, his lost diaries\, for example. But there is one that gets little press\, namely\, a copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that once belonged to Joseph E. Widener. It contained forty of Tenniel’s drawings (likely tracings)\, and several letters regarding the book from Carroll and Tenniel\, amongst other things. Will the owner come forward? \n\n\n\nAbout Your Speaker \n\n\n\nMatthew Demakos has been writing about the life and works of Lewis Carroll for over twenty years.  His papers include “Hiawatha Annotating\,” an in-depth look into Carroll’s poem “Hiawatha’s Photographing”; “Alice’s Adventures from Under Ground to Wonderland\,” an exploration into the differences between the two works; “Children through the Ages\,” a study into the true ages of Carroll’s so-called “child-friends”; and “The Authentic Wasp\,” a look into the authorship of “The Wasp in a Wig” episode. \n\n\n\nIn a more comic bent\, yet serious\, Demakos wrote “Alice’s Ups and Downs: A Pedantic Approach to Exactify Ambiguity in Wonderland” and its sequel “Bounding Brooks and Hopping Hedges: Looking-Glass Chess For Beginners.”  The first retells Wonderland with a keen eye on Alice’s ever-changing height\, and the second retells Looking-Glass while scrutinizing the chess moves made by the characters. \n\n\n\nHe has also written on Carroll’s shyness in “Accountably and Unaccountably Shy\,” and has two as-yet unpublished annotated versions of Carroll’s poems “The Walrus and the Carpenter” and “A-sitting on a Gate.” \n\n\n\nHis works on John Tenniel\, include: \n\n\n\n · “Once I Was A Real Turtle: Tenniel’s Post-Publication Drawings and Tracings in the Berg Collection” (Knight Letter\, Spring  and Fall 2018) \n\n\n\n· “Sketch—Trace—Draw: From Tenniel’s Hands to Carroll’s Eyes” (Knight Letter\, Spring and Fall 2020 \n\n\n\n· Cut—Proof—Print: From Tenniel’s Hands to Carroll’s Eyes (a continuation of the above available on the Lewis Carroll Society of North America Website) \n\n\n\n· The Tenniel Letters: Concerning His Drawings for Lewis Carroll’s Alice (proposed title for a work ninety-eight percent complete) \n\n\n\n· Catalogue of Original Drawings\, Tracings and Touched Proofs by Sir John Tenniel Bound in Extra-Illustrated Copies of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass Including Two Frames and Other Various Collections (to be available online)

SUMMARY:Picturing Wonderland with Abelardo Morell
DESCRIPTION:Watch Picturing Wonderland on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for Picturing Wonderland\, with esteemed artist Abelardo Morell in conversation with Diane Waggoner\, curator of photographs at the National Gallery of Art. \n\n\n\n“In 1998\, I made a series of photographs illustrating Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. I designed my images to be situated within a landscape made of books because it struck me that Carroll had linked Wonderland to the idea of discovering imagination by digging deep into the pages of a book… While this photographic work is unavoidably steered and shaded by the eeriness of our present times\, it is largely a product of invention\, imagination and freedom – things needed to make something new out of the old.”  \n\n\n\nAbelardo Morell was born in Havana\, Cuba in 1948. He immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1962. Morell received his undergraduate degree from Bowdoin College and his MFA from The Yale University School of Art. He was professor of Photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston from 1983 to 2010. His many publications include a photographic illustration of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1998) by Dutton Children’s Books. His many awards include a Guggenheim fellowship in 1994 and an Infinity Award in Art from ICP in 2011. His work has been collected and shown in countless galleries\, institutions and museums\, including the Museum of Modern Art\, The Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York\, The Chicago Art Institute\, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, The Houston Museum of Art\, The Boston Museum of Fine Art and The Victoria & Albert Museum. \n\n\n\nDiane Waggoner is curator of photographs at the National Gallery of Art\, where she has curated numerous exhibitions\, including The PreRaphaelite Lens: British Photography and Painting\, 1848-1875 and East of the Mississippi: Nineteenth-Century American Landscape Photography. She holds a PhD in art history from Yale University. In 2020\, she published Lewis Carroll’s Photography and Modern Childhood with Princeton University Press. She currently serves on the board of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America.

SUMMARY:Through the Wonderglass: Alice in Science and Medicine\, in the Victorian Age and Beyond 
DESCRIPTION:Watch Through The Wonderglass on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr. Franziska Kohlt \n\n\n\nWhen discussing the immensely varied history and legacy of the Alice books\, science has traditionally played a marginal role. But what if I told you that a major way in which the book and its author were understood in its time was through its contributions to public discussions around and understanding of scientific and medical topics? That its author was deeply involved in scientific\, medical\, ecological issues of his time? And that Alice has been since his\, and until our day\, a major vehicle for scientists to communicate mind-bending – as well as unsettling – discoveries in their fields\, and the far-reaching consequences they have on our worlds?   \n\n\n\nThis talk will take you on a journey through the scientific cultural history of the Alice books. Re-examining Carroll’s own engagement with science\, from his childhood reading to his engagement with microscopy\, alongside his literary writing\, one will cast a fresh light on the other. The whistle-stop tour will spotlight tea-parties and their role within the Victorian history of psychiatry\, the presence of microscopes\, magic lanterns and photography in Carroll’s works through Victorian optical culture\, in education and childhood culture. And it will explain the perhaps surprising connections between the centrality of ecology and entomology in Through the Looking-Glass\, and Victorian theories on the science and theology of acting\, in the light of Alice’s stage adaptations.   \n\n\n\nAs well as illuminating the Alice books\, this little-studied history will also illuminate some earlier and later Carroll favourites from Photography Extraordinary\, or Phantasmagoria to Bruno’s Revenge or the enigmatic Wasp in the Wig chapter.   \n\n\n\nLooking finally at the little-known history of Alice in popular science\, in early mentions in\, Alice through the Microscope\, or ephemeral concepts\, such as “Quantum Cheshire Cats” and “Alice in Wonderland Syndrome\,” obvious appearance of Alice as scientific explorer\, as in Alice in Rainforest-land\, or Alice\, the Cat Zeta and Climate Change\, and less obvious\, but all the more significant appearances\, such as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring\, this talk will show how Alice is as inseparable from the history of Science\, in which she became explorer\, guide\, and questioner – as she is from Wonderland.     \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Your Speaker \n\n\n\nDr. Franziska Kohlt is a Leverhulme Research Fellow in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Leeds\, where she currently researches the history of public science education in early nineteenth-century Britain. She holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford\, where her DPhil thesis investigated the historical intersections of the history of psychology and psychiatry and the works of Victorian writers of fantastic literature. She is also the Inaugural Carrollian Fellow at the University of Southern California in LA\, where she is currently finishing her book Through the Wonderglass: The Unexpected Histories of a Children’s Classic\, which will appear with Reaktion Press\, into which this talk will give an exclusive preview.

SUMMARY:Presenting Paul Rissmann’s Alice Concert Suites & The Alice Sound Website
DESCRIPTION:Watch The Alice Sound presentation on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes understanding of Paul’s two concert suites based on the Alice books which premiered at the Barbican\, London in 2015 and 2022 respectively. We will briefly outline the genesis of the collaborative project which led to the production of these works aimed at a family audience. Using recordings of the productions\, Paul will then outline the challenges and opportunities involved in this process and the creative solutions (sometimes involving kitchen equipment!) he came up with. Finally\, we will give a brief tour of The Alice Sound website which offers permanent\, free access to Paul’s works and to a rich array of learning resources spanning literature\, music\, art and drama. \n\n\n\nAbout Paul Rissmann \n\n\n\nDescribed by Neue Muzikzeitung as ‘the Jamie Oliver of animateurs’\, Paul enjoys a varied career which includes composing music\, talking about music and inspiring others to make and perform their own music. He currently holds the positions of Animateur with the London Symphony Orchestra and Children’s Composer in Residence for Music in the Round. \n\n\n\nPaul is a passionate music educationist whose projects has been acclaimed by the Royal Philharmonic Society and Royal Television Society. In 2014\, he appeared as creative director in a Channel 4 documentary Addicts’ Symphony\, which explored how music can be therapeutic in overcoming addiction. \n\n\n\nFrequently commissioned to transform children’s literature into symphonic scores\, Paul won a British Composer Award in 2012 and was nominated for an Ivor Novello Composer Award in 2020. His music has been commissioned and performed by orchestras all over the world\, including the London Symphony Orchestra\, New York Philharmonic\, West Australian Symphony Orchestra and Scottish Chamber Orchestra. \n\n\n\nPaul creates and performs bespoke orchestral events for people of all ages which range from full-scale concerts for the under-5s to a critically acclaimed series of music discovery concerts for adults called Naked Classics. He has guest-presented Classics Unwrapped and Inside Music for BBC Radio\, dissected the world of opera for Glyndebourne in Behind the Curtain and performed a series of open-air classical concerts with the LSO in London’s Trafalgar Square. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kiera Vaclavik \n\n\n\nKiera Vaclavik is Professor of Children’s Literature and Childhood Culture at Queen Mary University of London. Kiera’s research centers on children’s literature and childhood culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day\, with a particular focus on Victorian works and their afterlives. Her project exploring the Alice books in relation to fashion and dress was supported by a 24-month AHRC fellowship and led to outputs including a fabric collection with Liberty\, London\, “The Alice Look” exhibition at the V&A Museum of Childhood which she curated (2015)\, and the monograph\, Fashioning Alice: The Career of Lewis Carroll’s Icon\, 1860-1901 (Bloomsbury\, 2019). Her most recent work on Carroll explores the long and fascinating tradition of male performance of Alice’s role\, as well as the sonic dimension of his Alice books.

SUMMARY:JOB-erwocky: Making (Non)Sense of the World
DESCRIPTION:Noon Pacific Time / 3:00 Eastern Time / 8:00 PM UK \n\n\n\nWatch this presentation on nonce formation on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe biblical book of Job is written in a unique dialect of ancient Hebrew\, containing way more word coinage than any other book in the Bible. This early nonsense poetry employs nonce formation in a way that often parallels Lewis Carroll\, and often shares the same purpose. \n\n\n\nAbout Ryan Armstrong\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nDr. Armstrong makes use of his broad expertise to place rigorous philological scholarship of the Hebrew Bible in conversation with voices throughout history. From medieval rabbis to Christian reformers and Enlightenment artists\, interpreters are emotionally invested in the words of the Bible. By understanding how diverse communities have related to these ancient texts\, Armstrong uncovers ways for modern readers to relate to them. His recent work looks at the Book of Job with insights gained from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, as it features debates between zany characters who describe the world through nonsensical poems that are full of nonce words. Take scholarly adventures with him on his YouTube channel\, Bible and Culture with Dr. Armstrong!

SUMMARY:Protests in Wonderland and The Wizard of Uz: We Don’t Need No Education
DESCRIPTION:Noon Pacific Time / 3:00 PM Eastern Time / 8:00 PM UK \n\n\n\nWatch this talk comparing Alice in Wonderland and the Book of Job on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe biblical book of Job and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland are both written to make fun of overly confident religious leaders in their day who are way too eager to make meaning out of nonsense and find a moral lesson in chaos. Both books use similar plot devices\, literary techniques\, and jokes to drive this point home. \n\n\n\nAbout Ryan Armstrong\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nDr. Armstrong makes use of his broad expertise to place rigorous philological scholarship of the Hebrew Bible in conversation with voices throughout history.

Haven Hawley\, Chair\, Special and Area Studies Collections\, University of Florida\n\n\n\nRamona Caponegro\, Curator\, Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s Literature\, University of Florida\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers  \n\n\n\nConnecting Carroll with Classes and Research in the UF English Department (9:45 am – 11:00 am) \n\n\n\n\nMagic from the Margins: Lewis Carroll\, George MacDonald\, and Legacies of the Victorian Fantastic\,Maxine DonnellyRecent English-language fiction for children and young adults seems dominated by the fantastic: from the deep cultural impacts of Harry Potter and The Hunger Games to the mainstream appeal of supernatural teen shows like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Stranger Things\, fantasy’s former status as shameful “nerd” interest seems to be on the wane in youth circles. Instead\, fantasy has become a mode of escape and resistance for many. This may seem strange: the genre’s roots in the popular fantastic fiction of late Victorian Britain might not seem to fit the hyper-informed “commitment to diversity” environment of youth publishing and readership in the 21st century. But even as critics (particularly queer readers and readers of color) challenge persisting structural and symbolic inequities in fantastic genres\, a deeper look at foundational Victorian texts reveals some reasons fantastic fiction still holds promise. A transgenerational community of authors\, identifying with the “childishness” or “untimeliness” of fantasy worlds\, wrote themselves into importance by reclaiming magic their modern world seemingly pushed aside. Maxine will briefly discuss her work on these authors\, focusing on the Scottish fantasy author George MacDonald\, his influence on Lewis Carroll\, and the attention to social and spatial margins their work transmits to contemporary fantastic fiction.\n\n\n\nHaptic Engagements in Wonderland: Alice’s Adaptations at the Baldwin Library\,Felipe González-SilvaAs part of his Spring 2022 Introduction to Adaptation Studies class at the University of Florida students visited the Baldwin Library to interact with a sample from the infinitude of written and illustrated adaptations of Lewis Carroll’s enduring book\, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. With Dr. Ramona Caponegro’s curation of titles grouped by “types” of adaptations and paired with prompts to encourage contemplation\, students spent a class period reading\, taking notes and pictures\, playing with movables\, and in other ways becoming involved with these material revisitations of the children’s literature classic. Although their responses and particular interests varied and developed throughout the semester\, this session inspired students to value their material encounters with adaptations\, to recognize and reflect upon the creation and reception of adaptations as “experiences expressing experiences\,” to use scholar Amanda Ruud’s term. This presentation recounts their experience at the Baldwin and its impact on the students’ academic and creative approaches to adaptations. It examines reading and engaging physically with materials as activities that enact the process and enjoyment of adaptation away from reductive comparisons and value judgments. The presentation also briefly considers the influence of this visit on the class’s main assignment: an adaptation screenplay.\n\n\n\nDocumentary as Rabbit Hole\, Archive as WonderlandKathryn HampshireIn an upper-division English course on literature for young children\, she incorporated materials from the Baldwin archive two separate times to give students the opportunity to engage with the materiality of primary texts in a tangible\, memorable way. One of these visits was dedicated to an exploration of the archive’s collection of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland materials. These visits dovetailed Kathryn’s inclusion of introductions to a dozen different branches of literary theory throughout this course\, as well as multimodal materials like documentaries. This talk includes an overview of the picture book course\, an explanation of her decision to incorporate theory\, and the rationale for including two different curated archival material experiences. She will focus her time on providing a description of the specific course framing for Carroll’s work\, a summary of student responses to this approach to teaching Alice\, and a reflection on these pedagogical experiences.\n\n\n\n\nDown the Archival Rabbit Hole (11:00 am – 12:00 pm) \n\n\n\n\nRamona Caponegro introduces the Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s Literature\, a collection of approximately 120\,000 books for young people published between the mid-1600s and today. The Baldwin houses several hundred editions of Carroll’s works\, particularly Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass\, and Alice-inspired retellings and adaptations. While these books provide a wonderful foundation for comparative studies\, Ramona will discuss how they can also be used as a springboard to explore important trends and milestones within children’s literature\, as well as other treasures within the Baldwin.    \n\n\n\n\nLunch (12:00 pm – 1:15 pm) \n\n\n\nThoughts on Scholarship (With Show and Tell) (1:15 pm – 2:30 pm) \n\n\n\n\nCharlie Lovett shares thoughts on Lewis Carroll scholarship and research with particular reference to his recently published book\, Lewis Carroll: Formed by Faith (which Edward Guiliano calls an “astonishing work”). Charlie will discuss context\, research\, and vision in scholarship\, while sharing stories of researching and writing the first major study of Lewis Carroll’s religious life. The lecture will include a sneak peak into the pages of Lewis Carroll: Formed by Faith and will conclude with an examination of several key sources not used in any previous study of Lewis Carroll. Charlie will bring rare materials to exhibit and will have copies of his book for sale.\n\n\n\n\nReimagining Wonderland (2:30 pm – 3:45 pm) \n\n\n\n\nThrough photographic surrealism\, Maggie Taylor has created distinctive Illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Modernbook\, 2008) and Through the Looking-Glass\, And What Alice Found There (Moth House\, 2018). The images she created for Carroll’s beloved works have also been featured in two museum shows\, “Almost Alice: New Illustrations of Wonderland” and “Dreaming Alice: Maggie Taylor’s Through the Looking Glass.” Maggie will discuss the creation process of her Carroll-inspired artwork and will show examples of her work.\n\n\n\n\nBreak (3:45 pm – 4:00 pm) \n\n\n\nThere’s Something About Alice: Alice’s Adventures in Popular Culture (4:00 pm – 5:30 pm) \n\n\n\n\nAndy Malcolm will offer an exclusive screening of his new documentary film\, There’s Something About Alice: Alice’s Adventures in Popular Culture. The screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Malcolm about the film.\n\n\n\n\nLCSNA Announcements (5:30 pm – 5:45 pm) \n\n\n\n\nLinda Cassady and Alan Tannenbaum will present LCSNA Officer election results.\n\n\n\n\nReception in the Grand Reading Room (6:00 pm – 7:15 pm) \n\n\n\nInto the Nightmare-Verse Trilogy (7:15 pm – 8:30 pm) \n\n\n\n\nLeatrice “Elle” McKinney\, writing as L.L. McKinney\, set her young adult fantasy trilogy\, the Nightmare-Verse books\, in contemporary Atlanta and in a Wonderland inspired by Lewis Carroll’s creation. McKinney’s Alice\, a Black teenager\, travels to Wonderland to battle the Nightmares that cross the boundary between Wonderland and our world\, while still coping with losses and fears\, as well as family and friends\, at home. A Blade So Black (Imprint\, 2018) and A Dream So Dark (Imprint\, 2019) introduce the power players and conflicts in Wonderland\, and fans hope that A Crown So Cursed (Imprint\, 2023) will bring peace to the realm.       \n\n\n\n\nSunday\, November 6\, 2022\, George A Smathers Libraries\, 9:00 am – 2:00 pm\n\n\n\nIntroduction to Special and Area Studies Collections (9:00 am – 9:30 am) \n\n\n\n\nHaven Hawley\, Chair of Special and Area Studies Collections at the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida\, will provide an overview of the collections housed within the department and will introduce the Grand Reading Room and the Judaica Suite.\n\n\n\n\nExploratory Time (9:30 am – 1:00 pm) \n\n\n\n\nDuring this time\, attendees will have the opportunity to peruse the exhibitions of the Baldwin’s Carroll holdings and other exhibitions within Special and Area Studies Collections and to conduct individual research in the Grand Reading Room.\n\n\n\n\nTea (12:00 pm – 2:00 pm) \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick images for Speaker Information\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHotels & Lodging \n\n\n\nThere are a limited number of hotels\, restaurants\, immediately around the University.

SUMMARY:LCSNA Summer School Session 3 - Ambition & Distraction
DESCRIPTION:Watch this talk on Lewis Carroll’s word game syzygies on YouTube \n\n\n\n\nLewis Carroll’s Game of Syzygies and How It Drove Him Slightly Crazy with Christopher Morgan \n2:00 PM Eastern/11:00 AM Pacific \nMove over\, Wordle! Christopher Morgan is ready to inform and enthrall you with the history of a trendy word game from periodicals past: Syzygies! Carroll devoted a great deal of time and effort to his game of Syzygies columns\, which ran from July 23\, 1891 to June 3\, 1892 in The Lady magazine. Their total word count was approximately 31\,200 words\, roughly equivalent to that of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland! The columns reveal Carroll’s busy mind at work and his many flashes of his dry wit. \nCarroll wrote often for the popular press\, because for all his otherworldly appearance\, he was a practical man who understood that he should keep his name before the public for commercial reasons. And being a great letter writer\, he also loved the weekly back-and-forth interaction with the readers. \nBut all was not smooth sailing. Syzygies\, with its complicated scoring and contestants who liked to bend the rules a bit (or simply play the game in ways not foreseen by Carroll) often brought out elements of his personality one does not usually associate with the author of the Alice books. He could be\, by turns\, pedantic\, frustrated\, despairing\, admonitory\, sarcastic\, and\, finally\, deflated. \nChristopher Morgan is the outgoing editor of Knight Letter and the editor of The Pamphlets of Lewis Carroll\, Volume 5: Games\, Puzzles\, and Related Pieces\, for the LCSNA. It contains his introductory essays\, notes\, and annotations\, and the complete text of all of the Syzygies columns.

SUMMARY:LCSNA Summer School Session 2 - Reeling & Writhing
DESCRIPTION:Watch Reeling and Writhing on YouTube \n\n\n\n\nIntroducing Alice to Young Readers with Becky and Jenny from LitWits and author Alyssa-Ninja Weis \n1:00 PM Eastern/10:00 AM Pacific \nBecky and Jenny from LitWits will be sharing their hands-on\, creative approach to teaching Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, with an emphasis on the lessons kids learn while “just” having fun.  It’s a wonder-full way in to the wisdom of Wonderland! Because taking kids through great books in hands-on ways is teaching them for life. \nAlyssa-Ninja\, the creator of ‘The Alice Wonders’\, will give insights into how Lewis Carroll’s writing led her to combine fairy tales with science. In the book\, she answers the Whys and Hows that children ask as they fall into Wonderland. Making exploration fun and accessible for little ones is a top priority\, as life holds many wonders that need to be discovered with enthusiasm and not encumbered by difficult language. Enjoy a reading by the author here. \nAbout Our Speakers \nBecky and Jenny: We’re sisters\, the daughters of two teachers who introduced us to great books and raised us on an old apple farm in Watsonville\, California with two brothers and another sister. We spent our childhoods reading in orchards and nooks\, always stopping to taste\, do\, act out\, smell\, or otherwise “do what they did.”  When we grew up we did that with our own kids too\, and in 2010 we founded LitWits and started “doing what they did” with Santa Cruz kids.  It’s been such a joy turning so many reluctant readers into enthusiasts! \nBecky’s a journalism major who’s been a literature-based homeschool teacher\, a graphics designer\, and a newspaper staff writer; she’s also the author of a study skills curriculum. She’s currently writing a book about a prominent astronomer’s wife\, whose 1930s diaries she found at the local flea market. \nJenny has a BA in English literature and an MFA in creative writing. She’s been a K-6 teacher and a K-12 language arts tutor\, and her scholarship\, essays\, and poems have appeared in several journals. She’s the author of MINE\, a creative biography of the woman whose land she’s walked for 30 years. \nAlyssa-Ninja is a Vienna-based author and illustrator whose curiosity led her from digital media management to authorship and self-publishing. Her signature graphic style involves bright colors\, hand lettered\, and sweetly playful motives. She is currently delving into new ways of engaging people via exploration through online and offline formats; a primary outlet is the sharing of her creative process on Medium.

SUMMARY:LCSNA Summer School Session 1 - Museum Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Watch this virtual museum field trip on YouTube \n\n\n\n\nBelieve the Impossible with Louise Irvine\, Executive Director & Curator\, Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts \n1:00 PM Eastern/10:00 AM Pacific \nVirtually visit the fantastical wonderland of the Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts with your guide\, Executive Director & Curator Louise Irvine. \nThe Believe the Impossible season of events launched the International Year of Glass at WMODA and was inspired by the anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass where the White Queen challenges Alice’s imagination. “Why\, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast…” \n It’s hard to believe that fire and sand can be transformed into glass and that blowing bubbles of glass can create such amazing art. It’s even harder to believe that glass can be wearable until you have experienced the Believe the Impossible show of glass fashions in Wonderland at WMODA. \nFollow us down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass to WMODA. You will be blown away by Alice and the zany characters of Wonderland cavorting on the runway in the spectacular setting of Chihuly’s magical “garden” of glass. See them dancing underwater\, hosting mad tea parties\, and generally inspiring the Fired Arts of ceramics and glass. Don’t be late for this very important date! \nLouise Irvine is the Executive Director and Curator of the Wiener Museum of Decorative Arts in Florida which has an extensive collection of American studio glass and British ceramic art. She is an expert in British ceramic history and her career in the UK and the USA has been devoted to promoting a greater appreciation of the fired arts through publishing\, lecturing\, and exhibitions. She is regarded as the leading authority on Royal Doulton antiques\, having published more than twenty reference books for collectors. She is a sought-after speaker and has been a teacher of ceramic history at Staffordshire University as well as at Christie’s Education in London. In 2015\, Louise was honored for her outstanding contribution to the world of ceramic art with a tribute from the State of Florida recognizing her 40-year career.
