VILLANOVA, Pa. 鈥撀燜irst-year 棉花糖直播 University English MA graduate students Hannah Kahn and Caitlin Salomon recently presented at The Conference on Christianity and Literature鈥檚 (CCL) 2022 Western Regional conference, 鈥淟iterary Geographies 鈥� Space, Place, and Environments,鈥� held at Biola University in La Mirada, California, April 7 to 9, 2022.

Kahn discussed her work, 鈥淓mbodied and Empowered: A Critical Analysis of Margaret Atwood鈥檚 The Handmaid鈥檚 Tale.鈥�

"Presenting at the CCL conference was an enriching experience. Not only was I given the opportunity to share my scholarship on a topic that I'm passionate about but also was afforded the chance to partake in thought-provoking dialogue during the question-and-answer section," Kahn said. "It was a pleasure to meet other scholars from across the country and learn from each other; I hope to present at the same conference next year."

Salomon presented 鈥淕ardens in 鈥榓 sizzling wasteland鈥�: Margaret Atwood鈥檚 The Year of the Flood as a model for Christian environmental restoration.鈥�

鈥淎ttending the conference allowed me to network with, and learn alongside, like-minded individuals who encouraged and challenged me intellectually throughout the week, " said Salomon. "It was truly empowering to be united with others in a common focus of faith and literature, particularly as that focus revealed diverse opinions and practices on how these matters can, and do, intersect. I鈥檓 excited to conduct my own research in some new areas of scholarship I learned about, and hope to participate in the conference again next year.鈥澛�
