Eighteen University of Kentucky students are making their way to the State Capitol Building in Frankfort, Kentucky, to present their research at the 2019 Posters-at-the-Capitol event. This one-day annual event is held to show Kentucky legislators the importance of undergraduate research and scholarly work in Kentucky. The governor proclaims this day to be Undergraduate Research Day across the Commonwealth.
The EAL Podcast is released three times a year and spotlights several contributors from each issue in informal conversations about their research and scholarship.

I'm including the Google Drive link to the readings for our first meeting, next Wednesday Feb. 20. The readings total about 50 pages (but one is in huge font...). They are both focused on giving us a base level understanding of what exactly we might mean by "narrative theory" (or its slightly outdated, though we can argue somewhat different but essential, precursor narratology).
1) "Narratology" entry from the living handbook of narratology
2) Prologue - sections 1 and 2 from A Companion to Narrative Theory
***I want to emphasize that I've selected these readings to kickstart us, but I very much look forward to having a lively discussion about particular interests or areas you'd like to delve into more.***
Finally - let me know if you have any questions, problems with the link, etc. See you next week! - Jess
