International Cather Seminar

The International Cather Seminar intends to intellectually locate Cather in the broader context of New York in the first half of the twentieth century, and, further, to imagine her work as a product of that urban experience. It will also focus on topics such as Cather and Greenwich Village: bohemianism, LGBT+ communities, immigrant communities, activist communities, and others, the Harlem Renaissance, labor and class in the city, Cather and NYC food culture, Cather, Edith Lewis, and the publishing industry, performing arts and popular culture in NYC, etc.
