Fung House
The Center for the Humanities invites you to a special presentation on 4/3 at 4 p.m. with CHAT Dissertation Fellow Dr. Rebekah Waalkes, entitled "Spiraling Online: Writing in the Age of the Internet."
Dr. Rebekah Waalkes is a writer, researcher, and graduate instructor in the Tufts University First Year Writing Program. Her dissertation project, “Simultaneous Fictions: Reading Form and Attention in the Contemporary Novel,” examines the limits of contemporary discourse on focus and distraction, considering how these concerns about readerly immersion come to work on the form of contemporary novels. Bekah’s work has been published by public and academic venues alike, including recent book reviews in The Washington Post, Cleveland Review of Books, and The Brooklyn Rail, and essays in Avidly, Post45, and Electric Literature, where she served as an editorial intern in 2022.
