This year’s senior English symposium had everything: Ev Delafose ‘21 talked about the power of fat, femme fashion. Ryan Chow ‘21 tackled identity in Asian American literature. Ruhi Buddharaju ’21 considered colorism in film. Kelsey Evans shared part of a novel-length poem based on Buffalo Bayou. And Naomi Hausman ‘21 read from a murder mystery screenplay set on Mars.
“The screenplay is about family ties, especially when you’re 192 million miles away from Earth,” Hausman told the audience during the Department of English senior symposium, held via Zoom May 5.
“It’s about cultural ties when you are, again, 192 million miles away from Earth. It’s about the unrelenting progress of capitalism, at the expense of the very lives of the workers, the divine right to rule,” Hausman said, and the idea of “home” itself.
