Newhouse Center Faculty Series: Carol Dougherty
The Question of the Foreigner in Sophocles’ Antigone
Nov 19, 2019, 4:30–6 PM
Newhouse Center for the Humanities
Free and open to the public
Newhouse Center faculty fellow Carol Dougherty explores the ways that Sophocles’ Antigone brings immigration, marriage, and burial together to destabilize Athens’ own democratic strategies for accommodating the stranger within the city in ways that resonate with contemporary issues of citizenship, mobility, and political identity.
Carol Dougherty is a professor in Comparative Literature and classical studies at Wellesley College.
Generously supported by:
