February 4 - Scholars’ Forum- The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Join our Scholar, Susan Harris, Ph.D., for a post-show discussion related to the show’s themes and context. Follows 2pm performance.

Susan K. Harris is the Joyce and Elizabeth Hall Distinguished Professor of American Literature and Culture at the University of Kansas.  She is a specialist in American literature and culture of the 19^th Century, with special focus on Mark Twain. Additionally, she teaches and writes about American women writers, 19th & 20th-century immigrant writing, and issues of national identity, citizenship, religion, & race.  Special awards include a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship in 1992-93, the Henry Nash Smith Award for scholars in Mark Twain Studies in 2005, the KU English department’s Mabel S. Frye Award for graduate teaching in 2006, and a Mortarboard Society Outstanding Teacher Award in 2011.  Her writings include the monographs Mark Twain’s Escape from Time: A study of Patterns and Images and The Courtship of Olivia Langdon and Mark Twain.  This past year she published God’s Arbiters: Americans and the Philippines, 1898-1902—a book that uses Mark Twain’s political writings to frame an examination of the debates over whether or not the U.S. should annex the Philippines. She has edited the Library of America’s volume of Twain’s historical romances and a Houghton Mifflin Edition of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, as well as contributed articles and chapters on Twain to numerous publications and text books.

Dr. Harris earned her BA from Antioch College, MA from Stanford University, and her Ph.D. from Cornell University.  She has previously taught at the Center for Mark Twain Studies at Quarry Farm, in Elmira, NY; at the Pennsylvania State University, and at Queens College of the City University of New York.  She joined the English department faculty at KU in 2002.
