Young Scholars Literary Symposium

At shenandoah university

Harlem Renaissance: Community & Convergence

Saturday, November 9: noon – 8 p.m.
YSLS artwork

Hosted by Shenandoah University’s Department of English in Winchester, Virginia

What made the Harlem Renaissance so special? What were the movement’s main goals and ideas? And how does the Harlem Renaissance continue to inspire artists today? For one hundred years, authors, actors, musicians, and artists have continued to explore wide-ranging interpretations of Harlem Renaissance artistic works. We seek papers and creative projects that continue this exploration.

Special thanks to the following for their generous support of the 2024 YSLS:  English Department’s Willa Cather Fund; Media and Communications Department; Languages and Cultural Studies Department; Alpha Omega Sigma chapter of Sigma Tau Delta; Office of Assistant Provost for IDE; Ms. Paige Lannon (artwork and theme images).
