Writing Culture Reading Group

Reading Flora Nwapa

Welcome to the first BIRMAC Writing Culture reading group. The reading group is student-led and will include books suggested by MA and PHD students at or around Birkbeck. This first session is on Florence Nwanzuruahu Nkiru Nwapa’s (aka Flora Nwapa) last, posthumous book, “The Lake Goddess“.

We will be reading the book and discussing it with social anthropologist, Professor Paula Uimonen (Stockholm University), as guest. Prof. Uimonen will be referencing her 2020 book, “Invoking Flora Nwapa“, on female authorship in Nigeria and the legacy of Flora Nwapa. All are welcome.

Event time: 19 December, 18:00-21:00 (at the latest)
