Kevin Wisniewski, doctoral candidate in the Language, Literacy, and Culture PhD Program, was recently named a 2014 Residential Fellow at the Dresher Center for the Humanities.
As part of the fellowship, on November 3, Wisniewski will deliver a presentation entitled “The Hopkinson Hoax of ‘63” as part of the “CURRENTS: Humanities Work Now” lunchtime series. The talk examines the role of literary hoaxes in eighteenth-century America. The Dresher Center has also graciously provided the student with an office space in the new Performing Arts and Humanities Building and will give him up to $1,000 to be used for research travel, materials, or other directly-related research expenses. These funds will assist Wisniewski with his dissertation research by supporting his upcoming visits to the American Antiquarian Society, the Huntington Library, and the British Library.
In addition, Wisniewski has published original poetry in most the recent issues of The Clackamas Literary Review and Third Wednesday and an article in the on-line arts magazine The Artifice and is awaiting the publication of translated poems by Belgian surrealist Marcel Lecomte in the literary magazine Blue Lyra and two reviews on Michael David Cohen’s Reconstructing the Campus and Redell Olsen’s Film Poems in Civil War History and The Small Press Review, respectively. His contribution to the OA American History textbook American Yawp (a section on The Whiskey Rebellion and Jay’s Treaty) is currently live (in beta- testing and the peer-review process) and available at http://www.americanyawp.com/
He is currently completing a chapter entitled “From Type to Tablet: The History of Book Publishing in America,” in a forthcoming anthology on the history of mass media to be published by SAGE in 2016 and completing the research towards his dissertation on eighteenth-century publishing.
Congratulations, Kevin!
